My clients wrote or called to me to let me know how they felt about their experience and the results of working with me. With their permission I have included some of their happiness here!

Dear Vrisayda, Thank you for giving me the mental strength and confidence to climb Mt. Rainier. It was a great feeling reaching the summit but I knew, weather permitting, we would get there. Turning back was not an option. Looking forward to seeing you in connection with our next adventure. Maybe the Boston Marathon(?). Your Appreciative Client, Jack

I have had the pleasure of working with Vrisayda Porshu Boggess, BCH, Ph.Dc, Certified Clinical & Medical Hypnotherapist, on several occasions. I needed to have Surgery but was very scared because my sister had died on the operating table. Vrisayda helped me to overcome my fears. On the morning of the surgery the nurse took my blood pressure and said, "What did you do?" I asked her if something was wrong and she told me that my blood pressure was so low. She said that, "Usually her patients were begging her for Valium before surgery to calm them down. She needed to have a hysterectomy and wanted to have Vrisayda do hypnosis on her before her surgery". My anesthesiologist said he uses hypnosis when he puts his patients under anesthesia because if they are calm when they go to sleep they will be calm when they wake. Vrisayda has also helped me with severe anxiety. My psychiatrist put me on medication for severe anxiety. I was having trouble breathing. I could not get enough oxygen. My psychiatrist recommended that I use hypnosis. I stopped my medication and I am happy to report that I have no breathing difficulties now thanks to Vrisayda.

Sincerely,
Karla

Dear Vrisayda:

I am writing to you now two weeks since my hypnotherapy session -with you, every day of which has been smoke free. You know that I have, over the 25+ years I've smoked cigarettes, quit several times - once for over a year. But in retrospect, each attempt was a struggle to keep my mind off cigarettes. I constantly desired one, even though I had used every conceivable intellectual persuasion or mental trick I could imagine to dissuade myself. Also in the past my efforts were aided somewhat by the fact that my husband quit smoking at the same time. Both of us were successful but only for a time, and eventually resumed smoking. Not so this time. My husband has chosen not to quit. Financially, this-was an unquestionable decision. At roughly 2/3 of a pack a day (my rate at the time I stopped two weeks ago) t was burning about $15 a week. In 3 months my savings will have paid for the "cost" of quitting. But I digress. The primary reason for writing to you is to attempt to explain how differently my experience this time has compared to previous attempts to quit. During previous attempts, especially the first few weeks, because I have always loved the smell of cigarette smoke, being around smokers while "depriving" myself (which is exactly how I looked at it) was like torture. My usual reactions were either a sensation of nausea, or an insatiable craving for one of my own!

For the past two weeks, with the exception of a nearly undiscernibly twinge or two, almost a subconscious, split-second image of the experience of smoking, I've had no desire to smoke! I still enjoy the smell of someone else's cigarette, but I've had no feelings of nausea. I've not been troubled by what to do with my hands - or my "spare time." I've also been comfortable around my husband when he is smoking. My experience thus far has been incomparable with others. I seem convinced that I do not want to smoke. Although I am not bothered by the smell, I have no desire to hold a cigarette, light a cigarette, or taste a cigarette. 'There is no sense of irritation, urgency, awkwardness or craving - and I feel just great! I suppose my real reason for writing is to say Thank You!

Fond regards,
Diane

I wanted to call and tell you ...I DID IT! I got that first jump (out of the plane for sky diving) out of the way. There was NO FEAR! I actually enjoyed it and scheduled another jump for Monday. So you can pull out your victory book and put another entry in it. You did good, Thank you, and thanks. Have a Great Day.

I came in for weight loss, and it changed my life. Not only did I release the excess weight, I also quit tobacco, learned how to deal with stress in my life, and increased my self-esteem. Thank you Vrisayda for your help. I am truly a new person.
