Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions

I used to think I was destined to smoke for the rest of my life. I started when I was 18 years old and smoked for 50 years. However after my first hypnosis session, I quit smoking and it was EASY! I was skeptical at first, and even though I had thoughts about the habit of smoking after the session, I didn’t really crave nicotine.

Ricky is fantastic and I can tell this is her passion. I started off with traditional hypnosis to help with PTSD, anxiety, and depression from past trauma. It made a significant difference, but what really sped up my healing process was the past life regression session she provided for me. It was a game changer and I would highly recommend it. It was so impactful for me that I also gifted a past life regression session for my husband as well. He has been so much happier since the session and he’s genuinely enjoying life again after years of grief from the loss of his sister.

I've been struggling with performance anxiety for years and specifically on the golf course. Golf is a huge passion of mine and have struggled mightily with anxiety over the past two years. I’ve tried everything and then I started looking into hypnotherapy. I didn’t really know what to think before getting into the sessions with Ricky but afterwards the skills and tools she was able to give me when it comes to mental awareness and breathing techniques were excellent and the recordings that she was able to give me really helped my anxiety and to control my performance anxiety. The recordings I still listen to almost daily. She was awesome. She helped me see things that I never seen before within myself and not only have I taken what I’ve learned onto the golf course but also into my daily life. If you’re struggling with some form of anxiety, I suggest reaching out to Ricky, it has improved my quality of life.

I did a session with Ricky 2 weeks ago to this day. Put the vape in the garbage right after and haven't looked back. Never thought in my life it was going to be possible in this way, given that I was such a heavy user. Feels like you gained a whole new life. Well worth it!!

Hypnosis gave me a way to reflect in on my own mind to find what I needed to release from my lifestyle. I easily quit vaping after one hypnosis session. I can even be around my girlfriend when she vapes and not be bothered by it. I also noticed stress relief, better focus, better sleep, improved mood, longer attention span, and I feel more present.

I’ve had a few hypnosis sessions, and they completely transformed my life. I’m sleeping better, feeling less anxious, worrying less, and—most importantly—finally able to be present in the moment. As a business owner, my mind used to constantly jump from one thing to another. Now I can calmly tell myself to leave things for later and actually follow through. I know everyone says things like “it helped with my stress” — but in this case, it’s genuinely true. The difference is remarkable. I believe everyone should experience hypnosis at least once; it deserves a place in every self-care routine. Ricky is absolutely amazing — compassionate, skilled, and truly gifted at what she does. I can’t describe how grateful I am for meeting her. She exceeded every expectation I had.

I can't even express how much Ricky has helped me! The eye movement therapy I did (MEMI) really helped me deal with a recurring anxiety-inducing situation, and the hypnotherapy allowed me to challenge some persistent limiting beliefs that I've held since childhood. Thank you so much Ricky!

I was addicted to staying up late until 1-2 am every night, resulting in me being tired, groggy and unfocused every day. My energy levels were a mess and I struggled to be the best version of myself because I felt so depleted. Hypnosis has gotten me on a stable and sustainable sleeping routine, resulting in a much better mood throughout the day. Instead of being tired all the time, I can bring my best to my work and my personal relationships. I feel rested and energized every morning instead of exhausted. I show up better for my team at work. I show up better to my family and I’m more optimistic about the way my life is going. Because my energy levels are more stable, I find that I skip fewer workouts and I’m stronger in the gym. I've also noticed that I get distracted less during the day which is a massive improvement as a new business owner. I was skeptical based on some of the things I saw online, however I am blown away with how effective hypnosis has been for me. I had no idea that change could happen so quickly and I have already been recommending this type of treatment to several of my friends.

I experienced a traumatic birth and found it hard to think about having another child. I felt an immediate emotional response and negativity when thinking about my past traumas. It made me feel closed off and avoid talking to family and friends about the topic. I tried journaling and meditation, but still struggled. During the MEMI session I felt safe and supported and was surprised with how quickly I had a change in response to thinking about the past trauma. I am now able to openly talk about my experience and past trauma with my husband without shutting down and being overwhelmed by emotion. I will be able to move forward in my life and start openly talking about expanding our family. Ricky is a very kind and gentle person. She made me feel safe and supported throughout the session. I feel very grateful to be able to move forward from that past traumatic experience, without it affecting me the same way it used to. MEMI was a gentle and effective way to deal with my trauma and I'm so happy I tried it.

I struggled with the habit of picking at my hair and scalp. Hypnosis improved my ability to control my urges to do the habit. I now save time and do more productive behaviours.

Before doing hypnosis, I was giving in too easily to indulgences and was not in complete control of my eating choices which brought about guilt, shame and self-anger. I now have a better understanding and control of my food intake and choices after my sessions with Ricky. The true test came when we recently went to an all-inclusive resort and the abundance of food and drink was before me every day, several times a day. Quietly my subconscious was working with me and I would recall Ricky's suggestions when temptation was stronger than my will. Quantity of food was controlled as well as choice of quality. It was quite amazing how simple and easy it was. I am not as guilt-ridden or angry with myself if I make a bad food choice, and I'm giving myself patience and allowance for the goal I am still working towards. Thank you Ricky for giving me such positive tools to work with.

For many years I was struggling with OCD. I was repeatedly checking locks, lights and appliances. Also, I used to have very upsetting and uncontrolled thoughts due to a past trauma. All these intrusive thoughts caused my anxiety. I was exhausted and hopeless. After my hypnosis sessions I am able to leave the house without performing rituals. My fear and distressing thoughts tied to my past trauma diminished. Now I feel that I can control my life again. I enjoy doing things that I avoided before the hypnosis sessions. Anxiety caused by intrusive thoughts is not part of my life anymore. Beyond overcoming OCD, hypnosis has greatly improved my day-to-day quality of life. I feel like I now have a stronger sense of self. I am more confident, resilient and capable of handling challenges! Because of the hypnosis, my mindset is more optimistic and I feel happier. The investment I made in hypnosis sessions is truly one of the best decisions I have ever made.

I was a smoker for 34 years and have tried several times to stop on my own. It was becoming a health problem, and the more stressed about my health, the more I smoked. I do not want to die or not be able to breathe. After my first session it was automatic thoughts and words of me saying “I don’t smoke anymore” without that feeling of anxiety or fear. I now know my lungs won’t be any worse and I’ll be able to breathe better. Upon not smoking I realized how I was using smoking as a distraction when I got into uncomfortable feelings and didn’t want to feel. But now I can recognize that and work on it in a healthy way. Since the hypnosis session, I noticed that I’m sleeping better as well. The extra tools I have received and knowledge I was taught was very informative. I am really happy with the service.

Hypnosis and Multi-Channel Eye Movement Integration helped me overcome childhood trauma, transform and reframe those experiences, and release what was holding me back. I am now free to live fully in the present. I am grateful for Ricky's help!

I found out that I would require a C-section and would have to be put to sleep for the surgery due to medical complications. I felt anxious, out of sorts, not prepared, fearful, and negative. After my hypnosis sessions I feel more prepared emotionally for surgery. I am less tense in my day-to-day tasks and I can more readily process and let go of emotions that don't serve me. I also feel more calm and safe. I’m so thankful for the experience and looking forward to putting all of the strategies in place on the day off!

I was referred to Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions by my Psychologist who I had been working with for PTSD from a motor vehicle accident. I was experiencing driving anxiety, uneven sleep, confidence issues, and “stuck song syndrome”. I was overly cautious about other drivers, had panic attacks and was recreating the MVA in my mind. Sleep was poor with excessive waking and an inability to fall back asleep for one or more hours. Ear worms with music would last for several days or hours and frustrated me. I also had confidence issues with dating women. Hypnosis has helped resolve all those issues on a subconscious level. I no longer have psychological issues when driving; sleep is more restful; I have more control with song loops repeating in my mind; and confidence in general terms has improved with dating and in other personal areas in life. I have also noticed a greater clarity of mind, better focus, and more engagement with the above concerns. I now have an appreciation for being in the “here and now” as opposed to letting the mind wander into non-productive thoughts or past concerns that are no longer relevant. I like the concept of “re-writing” an unwanted subconscious script that is no longer serving my needs, desires or interests. I have also gained a better understanding of the mind-body connection and how they relate to one another.

I had been suffering from anxiety and sleep problems, always concerned about my health and the health of my family. I used to get very stressed out whenever I needed to see a doctor, even if my complaint was a bad cold. Death was a big fear for me. Hypnosis helped me enjoy life more and appreciate how healthy I am, and I don’t need to worry about things that might not even happen. It gave me a new perspective to look at things in a positive way. Hypnosis helped me to get to the route of the problem to a great extent and taught me how to deal with situations that stress me out. I learned new techniques to deal with my anxiety. The audios also helped me to have better sleep.

Before hypnosis I was wasting time on a regular basis with my thumb sucking habit. I had low confidence, felt immature and ashamed. I felt undesirable and was nervous about being intimate with a partner because I would have to reveal this habit to them. Hypnosis eliminated the habit in a few sessions. I thought it would be hard to stop and that I would fail, but it was very easy. I feel more mature, confident and productive. I feel like a man, not a child. I’m relieved I won’t have to look foolish in front of any new people I get close to. No more embarrassment. I am confident I can address other issues that prevent me from being the person I’m meant to be.

I regularly suffered from anxiety and felt like I was constantly in fight or flight mode. I felt like I was stuck in a revolving door in my head of always thinking the worst and fearing that something bad would happen. On top of that, I constantly worried about what other people thought of me, and felt pressure to be the best and feel accepted, my confidence was non-existent. Ricky has taught me how to understand how the mind works, and how to tap into the subconscious mind to achieve how I want to feel and how to overcome those racing anxious thoughts. I now have the tools to reign myself in when I am feeling anxious or overwhelmed. I have a much stronger feeling of self-worth, and I worry way less about both the past and present than I used to. I find comfort in using hypnosis. If I am having an anxious or overwhelming day, I listen to an audio recording and I find that it brings me right back to where I want to be. I use hypnosis as a tool to fall into a deep sleep, and I find I wake up feeling more rested and ready for the day, thanks to the positive reinforcements from the recordings. I feel more confident in my work and in my social life. I'm a natural extroverted introvert, and I find myself being more naturally outgoing and enjoying myself in social settings. From the very first session, Ricky made me feel comfortable about opening up and sharing personal things about myself, which of course is important when you're trying to achieve something to improve your life. I'm grateful for the safe space she created. I highly recommend trying hypnosis with Ricky, especially if you have tried other forms of therapy and they didn't work.

Hypnosis has chipped away at the nagging problems I used to have. I used to be grumpy and irritable in the morning and now I don’t feel that way at all. It’s quite a relief to go through the day in a better state of mind. My stress has come down and I have a better ability to communicate without anger. I am more patient and tolerant and even-keeled in my emotions and more in control of my reactions. I used to be critical of myself and had self-doubt, but now I just carry myself through without any of those types of thoughts. Over-thinking used to paralyze me, now that time I used to waste on overthinking is put to better use by completing tasks and I’m much more productive. Although I had recently quit using nicotine and reduced my alcohol consumption two months prior to starting with hypnosis, I still had nagging thoughts about drinking and using nicotine. Since using hypnosis though, those thoughts are pretty much gone now. The calm I felt after each session was a very positive and fulfilling state.

I struggled to quit every week, saying every Monday that I would quit, and never doing it. With my first hypnosis session I quit smoking and it was much easier than any past attempts. I feel very calm. I actually feel like I have been a non-smoker my whole life. It feels like I have never smoked at all.

I had been experiencing middle of the night insomnia for a couple of years, mostly due to worrying about something or another! The lack of sleep was beginning to adversely affect my health. After hearing Ricky Issler speak at networking events and hearing other's testimonials, I decided to book an initial discovery meeting with her. She quickly eased my concerns about what I thought hypnosis was, but mostly what it is not! I would be fully conscious during our entire interaction, which was a huge relief. I purchased a package, and in the sessions addressed some of the reasons behind my insomnia. Pre-recorded audio files to listen to at home, at any time, made it so easy to reinforce the changes I wanted to make. The sleep audio in particular is so soothing and relaxing, and has become my favourite. I highly recommend Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions to anyone who desires to make some changes to habits that do not serve them well. I am so thankful for Ricky’s help.

I was overthinking about every little thing that was happening in my life and I was having a lot of issues sleeping. I had a bad habit of drinking soda twice a day and eating chocolate regularly. I was out of control in my mind with all the stress. Using hypnosis has been an amazing and fast change in all aspects of my life. I feel more calm and relaxed. I don’t have any cravings for soda or chocolate at all! I have a lot of resources on how to keep my mind in control and at ease. My life has changed a lot now that I know how to manage my overthinking and stress. I don’t use soda or chocolate as a pacifier. Now I don’t feel that food power anymore. I am eating better, drinking a lot of water, and that has done a lot for my health. I was not a believer in hypnosis before. I tried it as my last resource to help my day to day problems. It has been amazing. I can see how I was before, and how I am right now, and it’s amazing! I feel very happy and I am really grateful with Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions to help me in this journey.

I wanted changes in my life but didn’t know how to get the best outcome. I came to see Ricky and she was thorough and made sure that I was seeing the results I came for! I did ten sessions and worked on multiple traumas that have been worked on for years. Some were MEMI sessions for trauma and some were hypnosis. I saw the best results with Ricky. I have created balance in my life. I am now more efficient with things (i.e. the things I came in to work on). I have a calmer and more balanced life. Ricky has shown me the tools I can use for years to come. I suggest Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions to anyone committed to a change… if it is one or many. I have found solutions for many things!

I was having lots of anxiety prior to public speaking. Things have improved significantly since using hypnosis. I can sleep now the day before a speaking engagement. And more importantly, in the moments leading up to a presentation, I don’t feel that sense of dread I used to feel. I feel normal now, which is huge for me. I now have additional ways to relax. I have a very busy life and this has provided me with the tools to relax in any setting. I can’t say enough how much I appreciate Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions. It has completely changed my outlook on public speaking.

I was self-medicating with alcohol to deal with anxiety and stress caused by my job. It was causing so many health issues for me- increased blood pressure, poor sleep, weight gain, and inflammation. Worst of all, it wasn’t even helping with the stress, it was just numbing me. Since using hypnosis, I no longer drink to cope with stress, and it has reduced significantly. I also sleep better now, and have a better attitude at work. The little things that used to cause me to anxiously spiral don’t affect me as much anymore. I have a more positive outlook on life and on a daily basis, and people around me have noticed a positive change in me. I feel more motivated to do things in my daily life that I would typically procrastinate on, as well I am more organized at my job due to being able to handle stress much better. I also have had a drive to be more physically active. Hypnosis is a fantastic tool and it works!

I bit my nails for as long as I can remember. While it was a coping strategy for stress, it only worsened my stress by causing discomfort and making me feel self-conscious about my hands. Following hypnosis, I immediately stopped biting my nails. It took no mental effort to sustain and I have not been tempted to bite them again in the year since my last session. The results were 100 percent effective. Stopping this habit has improved my sense of control and inner peace. I feel generally calmer and more settled in my body. It has afforded me more mental space and improved my confidence, not only because it has reduced my shame about the physical appearance of my hands, but because I feel capable of changing my habits when needed. Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions offers a serene atmosphere for transformative change. It was so relaxing to take part in this process. I highly recommend EHS.

I had crippling anxiety about past events and chronic insomnia. It was making me unable to enjoy my life as I was always exhausted and running on adrenaline. Hypnosis has dramatically improved my life. I am now getting 7-8 hours of sleep compared to the past where I was lucky to get 3 hours. My anxiety has also leveled off and I can now enjoy a wider variety of activities that I was unable to before. I am much happier and able to deal with unexpected events that may come up. I’m able to plan activities knowing that I will have gotten a good night’s sleep. I’m not dwelling on past events. Hypnosis has been life changing for me. I’m able to listen to the audio recordings provided on a regular basis to reinforce the sessions I’ve had. I would highly recommend Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions to anyone that is struggling with anything in their lives.

Prior to hypnosis I had difficulty sleeping, stress, anxiety and needed to lose some weight. Since using hypnosis I’ve noticed more restful sleep with less waking up and less trouble getting back to sleep. I’m feeling less stressed and anxious. The muscles in my neck and shoulders feel relaxed and much less tight. My weight is an ongoing journey to reach my goal but hypnosis has been helping with my eating habits. Hypnosis helped me to have a better overall sense of wellbeing.

I’ve found hypnosis to be very effective and helpful. I’ve noticed a more positive attitude and less anxious thoughts. I’ve actually been a bit more focused and cut down on the time it takes me to do my extension bead work-stitch work, so I’m thinking that means I’ve been less distracted by my own thoughts while working. There’s also been positive change with decision making and boundaries with work/clients. In my personal life as well I’ve been less snappy with the family and less fussy about things around the house. The Christmas season was a good example: I was a bit more organized this year and much more relaxed about events! So kudos to you! I’m grateful I randomly came across your Facebook post without even looking!

Before starting hypnosis I used to get overwhelmed under stressful situations and had anxiety attacks. I used to be afraid when stressful situations arised at work or in life. I lacked key tools in how to deal with these challenges. Since using hypnosis, I feel that I developed more tools to apply under stressful situations and manage those moments better. I feel more confident in my abilities. My overall mental and physical health has improved. I feel more confident in setting boundaries. I learned and continue learning how to reset myself and not holding negative feelings for days. I strongly recommend to do this therapy to anyone seeking any of these challenges.

Before hypnosis I was suffering from procrastination, compulsiveness, and not fully completing my work. I wasn’t following through on motivation. Since starting with hypnosis I have become more focused, timely and effective. I know I have the capability to complete my goals when I want/need to. I feel more confident in my abilities and a deeper drive to succeed in all areas of my life. I also appreciated the additional resources and tools I can take home as support.

I have incredible pain from heterotropic ossification (bone growth on muscle) after 6 hip surgeries on the same hip. Pain was at a 9 out of 10. Since using hypnosis I have learned to relax, breathe and move energy in my body to aid in the healing process. Pain is lessened to 3-5 as a result of the combination of chiro, massage, exercise, and hypnosis. I’ve noticed better sleep and have gained relaxation techniques. Many thanks to a fabulous hypnosis practitioner who loves her craft and cares for her clients.

I had bad anxiety and very low patience. Hypnosis has helped a lot with my daily anxiety and has really helped with my patience, especially when driving. I’ve noticed more joy overall and more patience in general. The hypnosis program has been a very enjoyable experience and I can definitely see the changes.

Before using hypnosis to quit vaping I remember feeling really tired, with my stamina taking a hit and making everyday activities feel more exhausting and less enjoyable. Smoking drained a lot of my energy. Plus, the long-term costs of keeping up the habit put a strain on me and my family. The cycle of addiction was tough to deal with, too. It felt like being stuck in a loop where nicotine cravings offered just a short break, but left me frustrated and dependent, weighing down my peace of mind. Since quitting vaping, I've noticed a boost in energy since my body isn't fighting off the negative effects of nicotine and smoke damage anymore. Tasks that used to feel exhausting are now much easier and more manageable. Plus, quitting nicotine has really helped improve my mood and cut down on stress. Without the constant worry of cravings, I feel a sense of relief and accomplishment that really lifts my overall mental state. One of the first changes I noticed was better emotional well-being. I felt a lot more stable and positive as I adjusted to life without nicotine. Hypnosis really helped me manage stress and relax, which gave me a greater sense of calm. The skills and tools I picked up during hypnosis significantly helped boost my coping mechanisms. These techniques allowed me to handle cravings, stress, and all the challenges that life throws at me. The hypnosis itself was both calming and incredibly effective—I left feeling more confident and in control of my decision to quit. I’m proud to say that I have been nicotine-free for over a month now! If you’re considering hypnosis for any life changes, I highly recommend Ricky Issler and her practice. This was a life-changing step that I am truly grateful for.

I was a “pack a day” smoker for 23 years and tried almost every other method to quit smoking. None of them worked and I was definitely skeptical in the beginning to believe if this could actually work. I’ve been smoke free for a week now and it’s the longest I’ve ever gone without a cigarette since I started. It feels so good mentally knowing that it is actually possible to quit using hypnosis and a bit of will power. I don’t feel as agitated as I have previous times I tried to quit and it was easier on the mind to go through this initial phase of quitting smoking.

I used to overthink a lot and was unable to sleep due to stress. I didn’t follow healthy habits and I made poor food choices as well as being inconsistent with exercise or physical activity. Since using hypnosis I have a better handle on stress and reframing thoughts/overthinking. I make better food choices and focus on consistency with physical activity. Plus, my sleep has improved as well. In general, I’m feeling more relaxed.

I was skeptical about hypnosis before coming to Ricky, but I heard great things about EHS, so I decided to try. I needed help to deal with various issues, such as anxiety, anger, response to stress, and stress eating. I felt like my life was getting out of hand, and I was led in different directions than I wanted to go. I wasn't happy with myself and the way I was living my life, and I was suffering because of poor self esteem, guilt, and unhelpful responses to life challenges. I was impressed by Ricky’s flexibility and focus during the sessions. She helped me deal with ongoing issues, issues that arose as I was sorting myself out and kept reminding me of my overall goals. The two biggest benefits of my sessions at EHS were improved self-awareness and self-esteem. Although I am still struggling with consistently implementing helpful habits, I am more aware of my reactions to stressors and can better interrupt harmful habit patterns. I have also learnt effective methods of reducing my anxiety, anger, and improving my resilience. My sleep and health improved. I have more motivation to practice healthy habits and learn new things. Overall, hypnosis has made my life more active, responsible, and happy. As a result of my hypnosis sessions, my family life, relationships, and professional life have improved. I’ve shared the techniques I’ve learnt with my family members and involved them in improving the family's mental health. Reduced anger has also significantly improved my relationship with my family members. I don't get triggered by stress, issues at work, or other people as easily, and why I do get triggered, I am able to deal with these triggers in a healthy manner. After the hypnosis sessions, I feel like I got new glasses that helped me see the world much more clearly. Thank you!

Before hypnosis, I was struggling with plenty of strong uncontrollable negative emotions. It felt as though my life was completely guided by these feelings of sadness and anger. Hypnosis has given me the skills and power to take back control of my emotions, and in turn, my life. The help of Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions has significantly impacted all aspects of my life including my self-esteem, my relationships, and my ability to protect my peace. I have also noticed that when presented an opportunity that may have been a trigger for some past trauma, I am no longer deeply upset and impacted by it. Hypnosis has helped give me a clean slate for a more fulfilling and happy life.

I was a smoker for about 25 years and I have not smoked since my first (of two) hypnosis sessions. There were no significant physical cravings after the sessions but I did sometimes have thoughts about smoking. Those thoughts about the act of smoking only lasted about a week. I have now been a non-smoker for a month and I’m finding it much easier.

After a falling out with a longtime friend, I was stuck in rumination, going over and over in my head what had gone wrong, how it was all my fault, if there were any signs I missed or could have prevented what went wrong. I knew I needed to let it go, but I was stuck, and it prevented me from letting in new friends. Since working through hypnosis, I no longer am stuck in the past. I am more attuned to the life and relationships I have now. The loss of friendship doesn’t sting like it once did. I am looking towards the future, dreaming of good things to come, optimistic and confident I can reach my goals. I have become more secure and confident in myself. I have felt better about myself, and what I have to offer. I am enjoying life more. I am at peace.

I experienced a traumatic flight 8 years ago and was barely able to get on a single flight (within the last 8 years). I had frequent nightmares and my thoughts were often consumed by my fear of flying. As a result, this has held me back from many experiences and opportunities to travel. I tried Multi-Channel Eye Movement Integration (MEMI) at Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions and have significantly felt my stress around flying decrease, and my overall perspective has definitely shifted. During the hour-long session I felt a gradual decrease in emotional and physical reaction and less of an ability to recall the event, concluding the session feeling very calm and level. Since then, I've found I'm thinking about flying far less, and when I do, I feel less anxious and more focused on the destination I will be travelling to, rather than the travel itself. I'm very excited to take my next flight and see how the changes will impact my experience!

I was a smoker for 24 years and had tried to quit smoking using various different methods and techniques. None of them worked, until I did hypnosis. After only one hypnosis session I quit smoking. It’s only been one week and I feel better already. I had a few cravings for the first few days, but now it has just kind of slipped my mind.

Before using hypnosis I was feeling ashamed as I was hiding my smoking habit from my loved ones and friends because everyone had thought that I quit. I was affecting my breathing, my lungs hurt, and I had trouble with physical activities. I did not want to get a heart attack or stroke like my father. Plus, the expense of smoking kept increasing. I decided to try hypnosis, even though I was certain I was wasting my money. I was desperate to stop though. To my surprise, I successfully quit smoking after my first hypnosis session. I am no longer lying to my loved ones and friends and I’m feeling better physically. I can get through the cravings without losing my mind. I am free from a habit that made me feel like a prisoner. I have noticed I am in control and I choose not to smoke. I also don’t have to worry that someone I know will see me smoking. I have even noticed my wine consumption has decreased. It’s been seven weeks since I quit smoking and I have no desire to go back to that horrible, unhealthy, gross habit!

I was chained by smoking and tried a few times to quit to no avail. After only one hypnosis session I was able to break free from smoking. I have gained more energy and my days no longer drag on. I find that I am sleeping better as well.

I was a one pack a day smoker for 20 years and had unsuccessfully tried to quit 3 times (cold turkey). After my first hypnosis session I became a non-smoker with my head held high.

Before hypnosis I couldn’t share my anger in a healthy manner. I would let my anger bottle up to the point of lost sleep and declining mental health. Hypnosis has improved my life significantly. I can fully and confidently express anger appropriately and in a civil manner. I started to sleep better and feel comfortable being who I truly am. I’ve noticed that I’m calmer and more attentive at my job and have made better connections with colleagues and my parents. For the first time in a while, I can confidently say that feel control in my life and finally have a steady path to where I want to be in the future.

I smoked for 9 years and had tried many times to quit. After only one hypnosis session, I quit smoking completely and found it to be quite easy. I immediately lost the urge to smoke and haven’t thought about it since. My breathing and mood have improved and I feel much happier and healthier overall.

Ricky Issler puts a lot of effort and energy into her work. Although hypnosis was not for me, I would recommend this place, and during your free screening session, you would be able to find out if hypnosis could work on you. There are a lot of success stories, and this could change your life. It’s affordable and a very rewarding experience.

Before hypnosis I suffered from Tinnitus and didn’t know what to do. It was a huge part of my life and I was living a pretty crappy life. I figured I had to do something. I was turned onto hypnosis and decided to give it a try. After four sessions, I can say that it has actually helped me. The noise has gone from just killing me and being at 100%, down to about 10-20% after hypnosis and using the tools I’ve been given. I was able to reframe the sounds and allow tinnitus to not define me and to let me live my life. I can put it in the background now and not have it control me and tell me what I’m able to do on any given day. I tell it what to do now, and I will do that for the rest of my life! I would recommend hypnosis to anyone who suffers from any problem, not just tinnitus. Just give it a shot.

Now I am moving my body and exercising every day and making healthier food choices. I feel better and more confident and I’m even sleeping better. I’m able to go out and make healthier choices without thinking. Plus I’m able to do more active things without being tired.

I came to hypnosis to stop vaping. I was in a constant self battle and I knew I needed to quit. I knew it was bad and I’ve seen firsthand the negative effects of smoking and vaping, but yet I couldn’t quit no matter how hard I tried. The cravings always won. Now, I feel in control. I no longer vape and I am no longer battling myself and my guilt. I am more happy, less foggy, and more present with my kids. I have more energy and less stress and I am able to let things go easier rather than dwell on it.

I was trapped by my mind and felt a lack of control over myself and my emotions. Weed and anxiety had me in invisible handcuffs. Hypnosis showed me that I am in control of my life, thoughts and choices. I can rewrite the narrative and change my thoughts with the power of my mind and subconscious. As a result of my hypnosis sessions, I notice a new calmness and peace of mind. I feel like my mind is a safety blanket now, rather than my enemy.

Before undergoing hypnosis, I struggled with overthinking, which affected every aspect of my life. It hindered my productivity, heightened my stress levels, and negatively impacted my relationships. It felt like navigating through a mental fog that distorted the clarity of my reality. Hypnosis has been a transformative tool for me, breaking the cycle of overanalysis and has significantly diminished my stress levels associated with overthinking. I've noticed a considerable improvement in the brightness of my days, making it more manageable to tackle daily tasks and maintain better control over my emotions. Hypnosis not only empowered me to reshape negative thought patterns, fostering a more positive mindset and elevating my self-awareness, but it also deepened my connection with my emotions. It also played a pivotal role in strengthening and enhancing my relationships. Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions skillfully combines expertise and empathy, providing me with insightful guidance to deepen my understanding of emotions. Their approach is understanding and kind, which fosters a supportive environment for personal growth.

All my life I struggled with nail biting. I tried all the “traditional” methods of quitting but nothing worked, I was getting sick more frequently, and this also developed into biting the insides of my cheeks when my hands were occupied. Since quitting that habit, I am no longer embarrassed of the look of my nails and the long-term effects of not getting sick as frequently will be very helpful. I have also been letting go of things in life more easily, trying not to sweat the small stuff. This service was amazing for my goal and I would highly recommend it for others struggling with similar or even different scenarios. Ricky is very personable and easy to communicate openly with.

Prior to hypnosis, I suffered from anxiety and panic attacks during doctor’s appointments and procedures due to previous birth trauma. Hypnosis was able to provide practical, immediate tools that I could draw on when I felt the onset of anxiety during these appointments. These lifelong tools have shifted the way I am able to cope with previously anxiety producing, yet critical medical procedures that impact my health and well-being. I am grateful for Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions for their professionalism, knowledge and guidance as they supported me through a difficult time.

I used to have a phobia of dead things, specifically bugs and animals. And while it is normal to feel uncomfortable when confronted with those things, my reaction was severe. I would tense up and freeze, too anxious to move and wanting to crawl out of my own skin. After one session of Multi Channel Eye Movement Integration (MEMI) I was able to pick up something with dead bugs on it without tensing up and I feel hardly anxious at all thinking of encountering a dead animal or bug in the future. Seeing dead things is something that is common in day to day life and I am so relieved to no longer have a fear of it looming over me.

I came in to work on weight loss through hypnosis, but I was also dealing with a lot of mental angst, negative thoughts and frustration. The main thing is that it’s helped to quiet the thoughts in my head and make me feel back in control of me and my physical self. I now exercise regularly and eat clean and healthily so my clothes are fitting better. I’m also drinking more water and have eliminated lattes from my diet (which I used to have a lot). I’ve learned self-hypnosis which has helped me expand the use into other areas as well. Hypnosis helps me with sleeping and relaxation, has made me feel more positive overall in mood, and has given me a place to start when dealing with life’s difficulties. The recordings are wonderful to have for hypnosis and the “suggestions” recordings are easy to listen to as background when doing other things.

Ricky at Edmonton Hypnosis solutions is amazing! I have seen her for 2 separate reasons over the years. Both times have been outstanding results for me. This last time was for a nicotine addiction which I have struggled with for 15 years. I have previously quit but always failed. This time is different, my mental state around my addiction has completely changed. Hypnosis has removed that negative voice telling me "I can't" to "I CAN, I WILL, AND IT’S EASY"... and honestly it has been easy. Since my 2nd visit, I haven't even thought about vaping or having a cigarette. The urge for nicotine has completely left my mind. Hypnosis has truly created a better, more confident me.

I was initially skeptical to see if hypnosis would work, but Ricky’s sessions and exercises helped me immensely. If you have some sort of block that is stopping you from moving forward, I would recommend you see Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions.

I suffered from anxiety and low confidence. I was not able to forgive or let go of the past. I also drank too much. Since using hypnosis, the anxiety has improved greatly. When it happens it is for a minimal amount of time. I do not dwell on the past or let things upset me for long periods of time. I now have more confidence and it helps me to complete projects quicker. I’ve also noticed that my mood has improved and I am sleeping better. When I choose to drink, I can easily stop after having a couple and I don’t go overboard like I used to.

I was having a lot of self doubt about who I am. My self confidence was very low, always second guessing my decisions, at home and at work. I had a hard time focusing, being motivated, and finishing tasks. I couldn’t get over several losses in my life, death, and relationships. Hypnosis helped me to forgive myself by letting go of the guilt and the need to have someone in my life. I feel more confident and more self assumed in the decision making. I am moving forward with my life and I am looking after myself first. I found myself and can disregard what others think. I am loving me for me. The sleep session is great too… I feel calm and relaxed and my sleep has improved. The self-hypnosis techniques I learned will help me in other situations that I may need a little guidance with.

Before hypnosis I had anxiety about bad things happening. The thought of something bad happening kept me from trying new things. I always assumed the worst. Now, I am more calm and able to try new things without being consumed by anxiety and worry that something bad is going to happen. I’m able to handle things that come up in a more calm manner, I’m open to trying new things, I’m enjoying life more, I’m definitely happier, and I sleep better at night. I would recommend anyone suffering to give hypnosis a try. Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions is amazing!

Before hypnosis I went 7 years without blood work or any needles in general. Whenever a doctor suggested blood work I would say, “No thanks” and would tear up the paper (even if I really needed it). When I did go for blood work, I was often fighting nurses and being held down. I started using hypnosis when I got pregnant as I need needles and I go for IV fluids quite often now. I no longer fight or cry. I lay down and talk calmly to the nurses who are doing the needle. I’m calmer and I’m able to go into hospitals now without worrying about what they will do to me. I will use hypnosis again if I have another problem that I’m having trouble facing and clearing.

I recently found something out about my spouse’s past (before we even met) and I couldn’t let go of the memories and thoughts in my mind. They were causing marital issues and strong negative emotions and I needed to release them. It was all-consuming and affecting all aspects of my life in a negative way. By using hypnosis, I was able to let go of all of the negative thoughts I had so they didn’t impact me in the same way they were. I’m as happy as I was 33 years ago when I first met my wife and she is much happier now that I’m back to my usual self. I’ve been able to move forward now and fully enjoy my relationship. I am very happy with the results!

I was a smoker for 16 years. I had transitioned to vaping and could not seem to kick the habit after several attempts of trying to quit. It was affecting my health, my social life and my self-esteem. I never thought I would be able to quit. Now, I don’t even think about cigarettes. When I see people smoking and vaping, I remember liking it, but I have no desire to do it. I am so happy to be on the side of non-smoker, staying inside or going outside when I want to, not because the cigarette is ruling my life. I feel better and feel more in control of my life. I did not really trust that I would be able to keep it up at first so I was not telling anyone, but now it is real to me and I couldn’t be prouder of getting this habit out of my life. I had tried hypnosis to quit a couple of times before and it was not successful. The structure of Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions, the consistency, and the follow up with the audio tracks, were all a very effective strategy for treatment. The professionalism and organization of Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions made the whole process simple and comfortable.

Anxiety was keeping me from enjoying the things I like, like sports and hanging out with friends. I worried a lot and had panic attacks every few days. Hypnosis has given me my life back. I’m now able to enjoy sports and being with my friends again. I sleep better; I am more calm and less anxious; I have an easier time going out and being social and I feel happier and healthier. Hypnosis has allowed me to have my life back and get back to the things I enjoy.

Before hypnosis I felt very stuck creatively, made no time for music, felt undeserving of living the life I want, and undeserving of joy because I don’t make money. I also felt a very low sense of worth and felt like I can’t survive on my own at 35. Hypnosis has improved my life in that I feel more confident in who I am at a “being” level and not a “doing” level. I composed two pieces recently and felt an incredible wave of creative flow wash through me. I am starting to observe my decision making, and redirect old “people pleasing” patterns to making moves for the life I want to build. I have felt more joy in the last few months than I have in a long time. Being able to understand the power of the mind at a deeper level shows me how much potential there is for change and growth when I become aware of the subconscious library shelf running the plot of my life. I am so grateful to have been able to work with Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions. Ricky made me feel that I’m not so “broken” and really helped me understand the subconscious and conscious mind and the science of how they work together. After every session I left feeling more confident and excited about my next steps in life!

Stress has been quite prevalent in my life. The levels of stress I had created dis-ease in my body, causing disturbed sleep, erratic eating habits and a combination of emotional anxiety and anger. Hypnosis has helped me to learn tools to change the stress in my life. I have learned to lessen the impact of stress and not to eradicate it. I listen to the hypnosis tracks I have been given and listening consistently has helped remove blocks caused by stress. Some additional benefits I’ve received from my sessions are… being unaffected by situations that have, in the past, disrupted my day, and also learning how to create my own self-hypnosis plan to deal with the matters that arise. Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions has helped me change my life. I feel positive and in control of changing my life.

Prior to experiencing hypnosis I had been experiencing chronic hip pain for over 2 years, despite many efforts made.  I had tried everything allopathic medicine had to offer and felt that I also exhausted all alternative medicine and therapies with little to no lasting relief. Hypnosis has considerably reduced the severity and frequency of the hip pain (discomfort) that I had been experiencing.  Hypnosis has improved the day-to-day quality of my life as well as the quality and quantity of my sleep.  As an added value of hypnosis, I have an increased awareness of how I think about this “discomfort” in my body with the language I choose to interpret and share.  Hypnosis has reminded me of how powerful the mind-body connection is.  Hypnosis is a powerful tool/catalyst for healing. Hypnosis was a “game changer” in my healing.  I am still experiencing discomfort, but in a very different way.  And more importantly, I have a tool now to use when my body is trying to get my attention that is very effective.  In order to create or break habits, we need to remember that consistency and repetition for both, are required.  I am feeling confident that the more I use hypnosis, the better quality of life I will experience.

Hypnosis helped me let go of the anger and tendency to overreact I used to have. I was easily stressed and lost sleep because of negative and crowding thoughts. With hypnosis I was able to eliminate overwhelming thoughts, negative and sad feelings, as well as feelings of anxiety and anger. I was given effective tools to control my temper and that are easy to use anytime (and for any age). I also noticed better relationships with my child, my partner as well as my parents. I am extremely happy with the sessions and recommend hypnosis for all! It was an extremely positive experience.

Before hypnosis I had trouble with sleeping, anxiety and regret, as well as OCD. Hypnosis has given me the tools and a practice to help me manage my issues as they arise. I still have OCD, but now I have a helpful tool to reframe, process and manage my issues. Similarly, I still feel anxiety at times, for it is human to feel such things, but I can work through such anxieties in a drug-free, healthy, and empowering way. My hypnosis sessions have reminded me to take care of myself with methods that are easy to implement, relaxing, and even enjoyable. Having a routine practice helps me deal with issues as they arise, so I can keep bettering myself and strive to be the best version of myself that I can be.

Before I came to hypnosis I had high anxiety, I was very stressed and drinking lots of alcohol to avoid dealing with my problems. Hypnosis has helped improve my life by helping my mind see more clearly and giving me the tools to deal with problems. It also gave me confidence to want to change. I sleep better, I drink less alcohol, and hypnosis gave me more confidence to change my world. It let my mind know that I’m in charge of my body, mind, spirit, and what I put into my body. The fourth session I had was very meaningful and all the sessions helped me reset my mind. Ricky is very good at her job and I’m very thankful for her helping me through this experience. I feel I’m in a better place having done the hypnosis.

Before I started with hypnosis I had no self confidence. I was always second guessing myself and my decisions. I doubted my abilities at home, work, in social settings and even as a parent. After hypnosis I found a new confidence in myself. I stopped letting people and issues make me feel guilty. I started saying “no” when I didn’t want to do something and I found my voice. I am happy with the decisions I am making. I sleep better, no longer awakening at night worrying if I upset someone or if I made the right decision. I am calmer and more patient when it comes to my family and I have more energy because I am sleeping better. I loved every session and once my son is old enough, I am going to bring him here for hypnosis benefits as well.

Stress and anxiety kept me from regulating my central nervous system to handle emotional situations effectively. Childhood trauma also played a role. Since using hypnosis, I’ve been able to navigate emotional situations in a more calm manner. We also worked through some triggers to remove those from blocking my growth. I handle life better and overall feel more confident. I’m not quick to flood with emotions either.

I had extreme anxiety when studying for tests and writing tests. I also had major anxiety and worry throughout my daily routine. After hypnosis, I am way less anxious and I’ve noticed that I go through my day without worrying as much. I know how to combat my worrying throughout the day now. I also wrote my University finals without anxiety and felt very calm. I am so thankful for having had the chance for hypnosis. It made a difference and changed my life for the better. A feeling of peace has been an added benefit.

Before hypnosis I suffered with chronic and painful anxiety that was taking the joy out of my life. The anxiety that was felt both mentally and physically. Hypnosis was a complete game changer for reducing the level of anxiety and the repetitive thoughts that go along with it. I felt immediate relief within days of my initial session and that has continued as I followed up with daily sessions using the tools and audio tracks provided. I have also noticed improved sleep and more energy.

I was suffering from extreme irritability towards certain sounds (misophonia). It was so extreme that it was difficult to enjoy certain activities or situations with my family. I also suffered with jealousy and low self-worth that was affecting my life in negative ways. Hypnosis has greatly improved my tolerance to the noises that used to bother me and I can now enjoy certain activities and situations more. Hypnosis has also improved how I think about myself, and that has helped me improve my overall confidence. Hypnosis has helped me improve my relationships with my immediate family that had been affected by those negative thoughts. I found that hypnosis helped me go deeper and really learn about the source of some of my feelings. I feel like I have left with a better understanding of myself. I found that the resources that were provided to me throughout my sessions were extremely helpful. I left my last session feeling educated about hypnosis and its techniques. I also left feeling confident about what had been accomplished during my sessions and my future self-hypnosis I will do at home. I also feel satisfied with the progress that I made and I am thankful that I chose to give hypnosis a try.

Before using hypnosis I felt anxious, stressed and overwhelmed. I wasn’t sleeping well and was waking often through the night. I was also aware of my extreme tinnitus. I now feel more calm and relaxed overall and I have a clearer sense of how to release stress. I feel more control and awareness of how I react to everyday life situations and circumstances. I have an overall sense of well being and less awareness of the tinnitus. Additionally, I’ve noticed more confidence and joyfulness and I’m able to control how I react to difficult situations with a clearer mind. Plus, I’m sleeping better overall. Ricky has a very calming and soothing way about her. It is evident that she takes her work seriously and cares for her clients. I would highly recommend Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions if you are wanting to get past anything that is stopping you from being the best you can be and who you were born to be.

I was a smoker for 20 years and tried to quit many times before. Hypnosis provided me with the support and tools to reach my goals in a way that was successful for me, and less stressful for those around me. I can be resistant to change, and can behave aggressively, even if I know the change is for my own good. However, with hypnosis, this wasn’t an issue. Honestly, there wasn’t any stress or negative emotions with quitting smoking, like I had experienced in the past when attempting to quit. And, I didn’t replace one bad habit with another, which was a surprise to me. I am still in shock that I have zero desire to smoke, even when I have my morning coffee or when I have some drinks with friends… which is when I always enjoyed smoking the most. Trying something new can be scary, however the hypnotist explained the process very clearly, and in a warm and welcoming manner, making this process easier than I thought it would be.

I am 60 years old and I was a fairly heavy smoker for years. I drive truck for a living and smoked while driving out of boredom. Since I’ve quit, my health has improved immensely. My oxygen levels and blood gasses have gone up and I’ve really noticed a big change in my life. I feel very fortunate to have found Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions and to have learned that my mind has a lot of power. I tried different methods in the past to quit smoking but they didn’t work for me. I had a terrible reaction to Champix. I found that every time I tried to quit with those methods, it became harder and harder to stop again the next time. I was very motivated and I found hypnosis to be a quit and easy method to quit smoking. It is a wonderful feeling to be a non-smoker and my children and grandkids, and other relationships in my life, are very proud that I quit… and so am I!

I have.. I mean had.. an abnormal fear of storms, thunderstorms, wind storms, all of it. The anxiety would start, hours or days before the storm would hit. I would try to find someone to be with me or I'd drive away. Packing my kids up at 11pm to "go for a drive" was not uncommon. I signed up for 3 sessions, and somehow was cured after one. Just 1 hour!!!! It has been 3 weeks, we've had some crazy weather (tornado watches) and I continued to play games with the family, continued chores with thunder in the distance. I am absolutely amazed and still in disbelief. I highly, highly recommend Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions.

I’m so impressed with the changes I’ve experienced since starting my sessions with Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions. I found my attitude shift and behaviour change right away. What used to feel like a struggle now feels more like an easy automatic part of my day. Hypnosis has given me the tools to maintain the shift from struggle to ease. I now enjoy drinking lots of water and exercising daily instead of feeling as though these are chores I must do. Selecting and recording my healthy food choices feels like a privilege rather than a sacrifice. As an added bonus my ability to fall and stay asleep has improved dramatically. I have gone from someone who was feeling a bit hopeless who had tried “everything” to someone who is motivated and sure I have made a lasting change to my lifestyle, outlook and results.

My son is a goalie who developed anxiety prior to important games and started to lose his confidence. He loves playing hockey at an elite level but there is a lot of pressure and expectations placed on competitive athletes. We found out about Edmonton Hypnosis Solutions and started sessions with Ricky. After only one session we had already started seeing a decrease in his anxiety. He was able to play in the moment without overthinking and bring his focus back to the game. His anxiety during games has decreased and he has been having great success and playing with confidence. We are so happy with the results!
