Working with Gary has been a very enjoyable experience, I learned a great deal about hypnosis, it’s not a one session fix. If you are really motivated to straighten out whatever issues you have, mine was losing weight in conjunction with trying to lower my medications for diabetes. My biggest issue was my personal self-control, which I believe has been improved greatly, really keeps me on track and with eating and exercising, which has led to weight loss with the added benefit of cutting my medications for diabetes in half. Certainly, would recommend this experience to anyone. -Mel P.

Thanks to Gary I was able to overcome my performance anxiety. I struggled to enjoy performing, to the point of body shakes, the feeling of panic, and fear of failure. I love music and wanted to share it with others, but performing gave me a horrible feeling and took away all the joy for me. In the hypnosis sessions with Gary, I was able to go into deep relaxation, and he prepared me mentally and physically for my upcoming performance. When it was time to perform, I had the same relaxed feelings. I felt calm, peaceful, excited-not a nervous way but the way I wanted to feel! I performed well with ease and complete enjoyment. I was blown away! Hypnosis worked! I couldn’t have felt that relaxed to perform without Gary’s help. Thank you for your expertise and caring heart to dig into my needs and to help me overcome this! -Stacey D.

I’ve struggled to quit smoking for 15 years. When I came to Northwest Iowa Hypnosis I decided I was ready to commit and be done with the disgusting habit. Each session cemented the idea in my head that I was a non-smoker.  After week 4, I was officially a non-smoker. It feels so good to say that I am a “non-smoker!” I am 100% confident I will remain a nonsmoker for the rest of my life and I don’t think I would have gotten there without the help and encouragement from Gary. -Samantha H


Weight loss had always been a roller coaster process for me. I had tools, but nothing sustainable that would stick. I'd heard about weight loss through hypnosis and wanted to give it a try. I never had tried hypnosis before and that was interesting to learn my body could relax and really help my mind focus what I needed it to. Weight loss hypnosis helped me to have a positive thought about the weight loss process, have patience with food and what my body needed in times when I would snack before. I wanted to develop a new lifestyle that I could sustain for years and thus far it's help me do that. Don't be afraid to try something new to feel better in your own skin. You get only one body and life. Gary was great to work with! Easy to talk to, approachable and supportive when I needed it most in the craziness of parenthood and life. --ST

I came to NWI Hypnosis with a strong desire to quit smoking. I've smoked for nearly all my life and it was killing me. 
wanted to watch my grandkids grow and get to know me. Learning and being aware of things that help reinforce the desire to smoke and learn new ways to cope with that habit. It was definitely a learning experience. And I wouldn't be a non-smoker without having made the decision to get the help. --LM

I wanted to experience hypnosis and see what it was all about. I was feeling stuck in my life at the time. I learned more about myself and how to focus on my inner work, also strategies and tools that would help me learn self-acceptance and self-love. I highly recommend Gary and NWI Hypnosis. Gary has experience and examples that led me to be a better understanding of who I am. He knows how to ask the right questions that helped me grow from within. --MP
