Amy, I just wanted to thank you again for changing my life! Before I met you, I had been struggling with an unusual anxiety reaction - to stringed instruments, which impacted my daily life for 37 years. I didn’t think that anyone would be able to help me.

After just a one session, on the drive home, I was listening to coffee house and bluegrass music, and I was enjoying the experience! It was as if I was listening to music for the first time. After the third session, I can now see and hear my daughter play the guitar, and she is so happy that I can finally enjoy her playing for me.

Now, I know that I can go to concerts, and music festivals, and even learn to dance! It’s good to finally feel normal - thanks to you! I would recommend your services to anyone who is trying to overcome any problems in their lives. You are a truly a miracle worker! Thanks so much, Amy!” John. - South Lyon, Michigan

Hi Amy,
I wanted to give you a follow up to my treatment. I just wanted you to know I have had an excellent result from the hypnotherapy we did. I am actually enjoying teaching classes now and am MUCH better with meetings and speaking with those "above" me. The teaching classes part is so easy for me now, I hardly think about it. I'm not nervous or anxious about it. Thanks so much for all of your help!! Sarah. - Saline, Michigan [Fear of Public Speaking/Teaching, Fear of Superiors, Social Anxiety (Groups & Business Meetings]

I am happy to report that I am now off of my insulin. Thank you so much for your dedication to my personal needs and for helping me alter my diet and lifestyle. I have to admit that I was skeptical in the beginning, but I am overjoyed that I have created a new life for myself and can be there for my wife. My wife changed her eating along with mine and we both feel great. We don't miss a thing!!

So far I have lost 40 pounds and I have 40 to go. I will email you in another 6 months to let you know how I'm doing. -- Jim - Livonia, Michigan [Weight Loss]

Thank you for being part of my health team. My doctors say I am healing and getting better unusually fast. I am in remission and I am feeling better than I did when I was a teenager.

Dr. Franklin sends his regards.

I couldn't wait to email you to tell you how much I truly appreciate you assisting me in changing my life! When I visited you last Tuesday to discuss my fear of flying and how it was holding me back in my personal and professional life I was so confused and didn't understand where this fear was coming from and why I was allowing it to take control of ME!

After our session (which was more wonderful than I can express in words!) I was immediately more confident and more at peace within. I took the CD and transferred it to my IPOD to carry with me and I kept hearing your comforting and reassuring words repeat in my mind every time the least bit of anxiety started to set in. "You are more confident, you are centered, you are focused, YOU are in control." That with my anchor worked like magic!

On Thursday when we went to the airport it was the scariest time as it was time to face the fear head on and I recalled what you said about confronting the fear and passing through it. It almost won, but then again I heard your kind, comforting words of support and I knew I could do it! As I exited the car and walked in the airport I felt immediately more comfortable, as I went through security, more comfortable still. As I waited for the plane I was very much at ease watching the scene around me. As I boarded through the jetway and took my seat (remember this I said was the scariest part) I was calm, comfortable and in control (you're words resonating in my mind!)

Amy the flight there and back was WONDERFUL when they said we were landing I could hardly believe we had been in the air long enough to get to our destination!

You have assisted me in opening a world of possibilities that was closed to me before (or at least my mind thought it was!) I can now travel with my husband to new and exciting destinations, travel on business with confidence. All because you showed me how to add a valuable tool to my tool box. I can't find the words to thank you enough and I am eternally grateful!

I hope to be in contact with you again soon to discuss a few other issues that I hope you can assist me with but I wanted you to know how excited, victorious and FREE I feel having completed my recent travels.

I would HIGHLY recommend your assistance to anyone seeking freedom and release from their fears so that they can move forward in their lives and live more fully.

I just wanted to send you a note to thank you for your insight and help. Even though I'm sure I wasn't your least challenging customer, I am truly grateful that I was able to work with you.

So far, I have lost almost 60 pounds. Something that I have never been able to do before. From this, my blood pressure has greatly improved and my asthma appears to be gone. I have my fingers crossed anyway.

I can attest that perseverance and compassion are what got me through this challenge. Thank you for your compassion and perseverance with me and my struggle. I could have never have made the changes without your support.

Amy really knows the right things to say to encourage people to be successful and reach their goals. Before I meant Amy, I knew a lot about hypnotherapy, but not a whole lot about running a business. I didn't even have a website. Amy helped me put a website together and has given me tons of information about recording equipment and other technical equipment needed to be even more successful. Amy is encouraging and knows the perfect things to say to bounce my own feelings and words back at me to help me be more successful in my business as a Hypnotherapist. Amy is a great Coach!!

I believe that I have made significant progress in over-coming my procrastination. It has amazed me that a little change makes a big improvement. I have tried without success in the past to work around this limitation until today. Since my last visit, I have moved our office, redecorated my basement, in the process of learning and new CAD program and am starting a new business partnership. This has offered me significant improvement in my lifestyle as I find myself spending more time with my wife and family, enjoying life, stopping to smell the roses.

Hey Amy, this is Terri. Just wanted you to know I am starting to tackle things around here and feeling better about things. Terri - Saline, Michigan [Depression, Procrastination, Clearing Clutter]

I wanted to drop you a line and let you know how I've been doing since our first session. I can proudly say I've stopped chewing ice altogether!

I really believe your services could benefit [my daughter] tremendously. Both she and my husband are astounded at the change in me! She already has faith in your abilities.

I almost forgot to mention the other changes I've noticed in myself. I feel more confident and stronger, both physically and emotionally. I've been managing these new stresses in my life better than I have in the past.... Sandra - Royal Oak, Michigan [Chewing Ice & Confidence]

I have been listening to the recordings on my voice recorder every day. I went out driving 48 hours after the session, which you suggested. I drove to the post office and REI. The session helped, because I was very calm.... I am looking into getting a car soon. As for the abundance flow, I'm starting to open up to a whole new way of living. I am seeing how I think affects how I live my life, so I'm weeding out the blockages to make way for the creative process to unfold. Julie - San Francisco, California

[Amy] Hale was instrumental in helping me overcome my fear of being closed in. Since my eyesight deteriorated and became blind, I had panic attacks throughout the day feeling like I was boxed in. [Amy] Hale helped me take back control in just three sessions. My wife and I are so thankful to have met her. - Theodore & Claire, Livonia, MI

I just weighed myself today and I have lost 8 pounds which I am really happy about it.

Yes I am still not smoking, because I am a non-smoker. I am doing very well Thank YOU!! Heather from Michigan

I want to thank you for everything you've done for me. I really didn't know what I was going to do and was actually considering surgery. I am so thankful that you helped me understand how my subconscious mind was affecting me and helping me to process out the negativity and build more positive feeling. I also want to report that my knee pain is completely gone. I can walk around my block and around the neighborhood again. Trisha - Adrian, Michigan [Weight Loss/Pain Management]

Thanks Amy. We haven't stopped talking about it. After we left your office we went to Buca, the Italian place, had some lunch and sat and talked for hours before we headed home…. I think you're great and for anyone who hasn't done this before (like me) there's nothing better than meeting someone for the first time and feeling right at home....especially in a situation where so much trust is involved with a perfect stranger. I hope you have a great day. I have a few more hours to trudge through before SPRING BREAK! Jenny - Lansing, Michigan [Life Between Lives Regression]

I went to Amy to help me stop smoking. Not knowing much about hypnosis, I was a little nervous. Once I arrived at my appointment, Amy took her time and explained the whole process to me which calmed my nerves. After one session I was a non-smoker and that was over a year ago. Rich - Royal Oak, Michigan [Smoking Cessation]

Listen to Rich's audio testimonial here! Depending on your connection, this might take a few moments to load.

After two sessions with Ms. Hale I was smoke free. I have now been smoke free for 6 months, no cravings, no withdrawals, no medication. At one time I didn't think that I could ever stop smoking, I am proof that Ms. Hale's sessions work. P.J. - Detroit, Michigan

I have been seeing improvements in my test scores and I do feel much more relaxed. One of my instructors thinks I should write an article about my therapy with you and have it posted in the Lansing Community College news letter. I am thinking about doing it because there is several people who have the same problem I have.

I clearly feel more confident in my approach to work. The self doubts have gone and I feel as though I am driving the car rather than being the passenger -- and you were right, you can change some deep rooted beliefs. Jerri - Ann Arbor, Michigan {Anxiety of the workplace]

I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to share with you that Monday was my six month anniversary for quitting smoking. It's an anniversary that has tremendous meaning for me and one I never thought I'd be able to accomplish.... I have enclosed a picture of myself. My boyfriend took it. He thanks you, too. I don’t smell "smokey" anymore. Sincerely, Renee - Okemos, Michigan

Thank you for helping me. I passed the exam. I’m off to get my Master’s now. Ted Zimmer - Ann Arbor, MI [Test Taking and Memory Improvement]

I've seen Amy a number of times and have found her to have a really good "ear." She is extremely perceptive and intuitive. Whatever you want to work on, she is there to guide you through the process. She is the non-partial, neutral viewer of your process. She has been able to see patterns that I haven't been able to see and she has made connections between my various life "stories" that I thought were completely different. When I leave, I know that something has been healed even if I can't put my finger on it. I just walk out feeling a lot more "whole" than when I walked in. But something always shifts, if you are willing to do the work. Ted, Tecumseh, Michigan

Amy, Just a note to thank you for all of your help. That session has made such an improvement in my life. I don't gasp every time I feel stressed in the car, I just start turning my ring and using the trigger words and I become relaxed. I would like to set up a session for weight loss. Again thank you so much. Linda - Ann Arbor, Michigan [Fear of riding as a passenger in a car]
