Thank you Erika. I'm having trouble finding words to let you know how important and valuable this gift is to me. The healing you've help me achieve is just the stone thrown into the pool – the ripples are already reaching out to my family and all those I love. I believe this will continue on to help many others, as well. My father's eyes well up with tears of joy when I describe how my brain no longer tortures me with my past. My daughter's compassion for me seems to have grown and I feel she enjoys time and conversations with me much more now – and this is precious to me.It took time for me to get used to just not hurting, and that felt like enough for a while. I can feel the next phase coming on for me, and a sense of knowing that I will help many people –not in big, grand ways-but in precious ways--stones thrown. Thank you for all you give to the world!

With love and gratitude,

Jodi

Erika - Thank you for helping me lose weight! You have armed me with the insight to understand where I’ve been, the tools to help me find my way forward and a firm belief that the answers already reside within me as you remind me daily in the relaxation tape. It used to be so hard to lose weight, it was such a challenge to keep it off. And things in my past were making it even more difficult. But now I've lost 23 pounds, and it's easy now to continue! I can’t thank you enough for finally introducing me to how to find the way forward for my life in this new iteration! Thanks again!

So if I could go back and change any one thing in my life it would be to say "no thank you " to that first martini! 

Well I finally did the next best thing. I called Erika.

I had already tried treatment and AA without success. Both experiences were unpleasant to say the least. When I called Erika I was as far down as is possible to go! 

I was having thoughts that I never ever thought possible for me. I had given up and was resigned to the pathetic fact that I would die an alcoholic. I LIVED for my next drink. Every bit of my life centered on that one thing.

I don't think I can put into words the dark and heavy weight that rested on me all the time. I was nothing.

Meeting Erika I felt immediately at ease and by the end of our first session I had hope again!!! 

HOPE!! 

Every time we met this feeling increased and with her knowledge, passion for her work, kindness, confidence in me, her smile and words of comfort and encouragement I've made it! 

I am saved from myself! 

I'm a good person again.

I can be thoughtful and giving again! 

I can love my wonderful husband again! 

I can throw my head back and laugh out loud! 

I am healed!! 

But I don't know how to tell her how very verymuch she has done for me and how very grateful I am that she called me right back and made time to see me. I am BLESSED to have met her. Please don't wait another moment to pick up your phone and ask her to help you.

Hi Erika! So I wanted to share this with you. At work they have a candy BOX and its FULL of all sorts of Super Yummy candy. Before I did hypnosis and attended your, "Reprogram your Weight" class, I would have eaten at least two or three handfuls of the candy, if not more, DAILY.

Since hypnosis, I have not touched ONE SINGLE piece the whole two weeks I've been at this office!! I keep going back to my magnet that we made, Am I Hungry Enough to Eat (insert food you would only eat when Really hungry).

Plus, with hypnosis, the Sugar Monster IS DEAD!!!  *

Reprogram Your Weight LIVE : March 25, 2017 Feedback* 

"Thank you so much for such a great day full of pearls, both the stories and the tips. I have been thinking that the pains I've suffered with the last few months were entirely due to auto-immune responses to wheat and dairy. What a surprise to walk out of the hotel pain free!! After a good night's sleep, the pain was still almost gone. New diagnosis? Stress. Your brief hypnotic sessions helped me to relax in a way I haven't for years, perhaps since childhood. Eating wheat and dairy were ways to de-stress with "comfort foods" from youth and they didn't work, but made things worse. I now understand the connection and will look at food as nourishment rather than escapes from daily tension and stress. Thank you!"*

“Like most people who are overweight, I tried every diet program there was to lose weight, only to gain it back again. It just became a way of life….lose the weight…put it back on…and repeat for years. I had no “will power” and considered myself a carb-o-holic.

Erika will change your life. I went to lose weight, but got so much more. She is a beautiful, gentle, caring professional who changed my life. Not only am I losing weight, I am sleeping thru the night. I can handle stress. My self-esteem is back. I have more energy. I have the desire to do things, and my depression is gone.

Erika got to the “root” of WHY I was on this self-destructive roller coaster of a life. From the first day I met with her, I lost my craving for carbs and sweets and I have not looked back*.

Do not hesitate to call Erika. Stop the insanity. I did. It is by far the best thing I have ever done for myself”

-Sharon, Lynden, WA*

I am so happy that I decided to go see Erika. You immediately feel at ease upon meeting her. Right away her calmness makes you feel relaxed. Erika has incredible insight into your feelings. She is compassionate and caring and was able to get to the root of my problems and help me settle life long issues. I originally went to see her for wright loss, of which I am steadily loosing weight each week, but biggest thing for me is that I found my joy and happiness again! ”

–M, Oak Harbor, WA *

“Erika – I would be happy to speak on your behalf and you may use my name. My problem is sounding unbelievable when I say what an incredible change in my life our short time together accomplished. I came to you for help losing weight and received so much more. For the first time in my 69 years I have real insight into what makes me tick and the tools to effect positive change in my personal performance and interpersonal relationships. Weight loss has become secondary but the weight continues to come off slowly, and I feel more fit each day. I practice 7th Path and the other self-hypnosis methods you taught me daily. Thank you so much for what you do."

“When I first contacted Erika Flint of Cascade Hypnosis Center, I was 50 pounds overweight and feeling hopeless. I had joined Weight Watchers three times in the past, losing weight only to gain it back. Diets had proven to be only a temporary fix that ended with me feeling even more defeated. I knew I was an emotional eater, how was any diet going to help me?

From the minute Erika started describing the program as combining healthy eating with addressing emotional issues that cause me to eat, I began to feel hopeful. After six sessions, I have lost 11 pounds without even trying, and continue to lose weight! But in addition to losing the weight (without feeling deprived), hypnotherapy helped me address emotional issues that had been sapping me of energy and causing me to turn to food for comfort.

I recommend this program for anyone with issues that keep you from moving forward in your life. Even if you don’t have a weight problem!”

-Linda, WA*

I greatly appreciate all of your help and want you to know how wonderful you were to work with. You have changed my life.

Gotta say Erika is very talented and special. My experiences with Erika have been life changing and I would highly recommend Cascade Hypnosis for any personal improvement goals. At first I was a bit weary of hypnosis treatments – a bit doubtful that it would work on my strong willed personality- but after my first experience with Erika I felt very confident that this is real and pure and it would no doubt bring more positivity into my life – and it has in more ways than I could have imagined.Erika has such a wonderful personality. She is not only very talented at performing hypnosis but she is exciting and fun and shares a real sense of compassion and understanding for whatever goal that is to be achieved. It is important to have a comfortable and relaxing environment to be able to shut the noise out and get down to business and I find this comfort at Cascade Hypnosis Center. Bellingham is lucky to have such a wonderful person available to be in our lives. Thanks Erika.

I would love for you to use my testimony. And thanks again for being so awesome! I will definitely recommend you too!! I am finding an inner confidence in what my end goal is. I am feeling more positive and driven. I have had just a few drinks but it is becoming less frequent and the desire is growing weaker. I am so glad to have met you and to have participated in the hypnosis. Very relaxing and enlightening! I appreciate you and all you have done for me in showing me that I can do this for my self!!

“I came to Cascade Hypnosis Center in hopes of changing my sleeping habits…or more accurately, my “not” sleeping habits. I have been plagued with insomnia for 15 years after chemo therapy for breast cancer put me into early menopause at 49. I feel like I have tried every remedy out there. I had a sleep study done and was diagnosed with restless leg syndrome. I tried many prescription drug…some worked at first, only to become useless within a month. I had tried massage, acupuncture, meditation and lots of supplements from the Naturopath. So I decided to give hypnosis a try. I have to admit I was skeptical about the whole thing. I even had thoughts like “this is crazy…I’m not hypnotized…I am just having a regular conversation with a nice person”.

But I pushed those thoughts out of my mind because I wanted to give it a chance. And I felt a change almost immediately. That first week I slept well five nights out of seven instead of maybe two nights*. As we progressed other things in my life started to change. When I started hypnotherapy I was taking anti-inflammatory meds for arthritis. I began to notice my pain level was going down. By the end of the fourth session I was completely off of pain meds. I have noticed a change in my balance as well and I am handling stress a lot better. And sleeping is good…night time is no longer the enemy. But probably the best part is that I have found joy in my life again. I thought that was an emotion that was gone forever….with my youth. So thank you Erika….you are a life saver!”

I’ve personally had a very revealing success while going to Cascade Hypnosis for therapy. I’m not going to become a therapist but if you need help for weight, life, smoking and want to get to the root of the problem contact Cascade Hypnosis and tell her Yvonne sent you….I’ve forgiven the people that have left me with trauma in my soul and have been opened up to what in the heck has been causing my blood pressure to soar to stroke heights in the last few months….and it wasn’t the weight…it was conditions I’ve been living with….through hypnosis I’ve been making changes and I’m now back into my natural lower BP and feeling so much better all the way around and it was Cascade Hypnotherapy that did it!!

“I originally came into Cascade Hypnosis Center for weight loss, but I ended up with so much more. During my second session with Erika, I was able to remove a fear blockage that kept me from progressing for a long time. After that session I was able to walk better than I had walked in a few years and was able to walk out of the office without my cane*.  Without pain, movement is fun again, which makes exercise much more pleasurable.

I thought being able to lose weight was my major goal, but I received so much more in the loss of unreasonable fear. I have a new relationship with food – mainly, I know the difference between being thirsty and being full, and I really feel when I am actually full. That makes it so easy to simply stop eating! My favorite food is ice cream and I used to feel compelled to eat all of it if it was around but now I can have ice cream in the house without feeling an uncontrolled desire to eat it all. I am in control again.

I’ve lost weight and expect it to continue*, but I didn’t know that I’d be able to walk better. Without pain and fear guiding me, my relationship with my husband has also improved substantially.”

“Sometimes…we need help with our life journey. Thankfully, I found the help I needed to “get back on track” with my personal journey. That help was found when I contacted Erika Flint at Cascade Hypnosis Center. Erika’s approach in guiding me through the issues I needed to face was perfect for me. She is kind, caring and compassionate. I shed six pounds the first week*; and in six weeks I am down 16 pounds! I remember her saying the pounds would “melt away” and she was right. I feel better, my activity level has increased; and I am truly enjoying life once again. I practice self hypnosis; and enjoying listening to Erika’s hypnosis CD. I have found these techniques to be extremely helpful when I am feeling stressed or need a “time-out”. If you are “on the fence” as it relates to hypnotherapy, I strongly encourage you to contact Erika for more information (you won’t be disappointed!). In closing, I extend a heartfelt “Thank You” to Erika – you truly changed my life. Respectfully submitted, D. Smith, Ferndale WA”

I was so impressed with Erika’s professionalism. She made me feel confident in her abilities and also made me feel safe during the hypnosis sessions. She listened carefully to what my concerns were before we started working together so that she could maximize the time spent addressing these issues. I was amazed with the results but more than anything I was grateful to be released from the emotional barriers which were keeping me from becoming the best person I could be. I highly recommend Erika for any concerns you may have which may be hindering your own personal growth. If you are open, you are certain to experience significant changes for the better.

-M.R., Blaine, WA*

Erika was great in helping me to dig out the root causes for my stress that was starting to feel debilitating. Additionally, she helped to embed coping strategies and ways to endure/process/interpret/release new stressors that may appear in my life. This was my first experience with hypnosis and would highly recommend it. It is not like it appears in the movies – the most notable difference is the fact that you maintain awareness the whole time. I felt better after the very first appointment and would recommend this to anyone who needs help with stress or anxiety. Erika does the first consultation by phone for free, so you can describe your concerns to her first to see if hypnosis is the right path for you. She is a very calm and professional guide through this process. A+ experience!

I contacted Erika at Cascade Hypnosis Center during one of the darkest periods of my life. My 22-year marriage was ending; my 14-year-tenure with a large software manufacturer had been cut during a massive reduction in force; and my father died unexpectedly – all of this within a span of 3 months. By the time I called Erika, I had increased my consumption of loose leaf chewing tobacco to about one pouch per day. It was a tool for numbing my mind and my senses. It was – I’m now certain – a way of poisoning myself as I pursued some kind of death wish. (Note, a pouch of loose leaf chewing tobacco costs about $10, depending on where you buy it. This wasn’t a cheap addiction.)

I had tried to quit chew several times because I was intellectually aware of the possible dangers (mouth cancer and heart disease) but it was all too easy to pick up another pouch and put off the task of quitting for another day. A trip to Fred Meyer for groceries meant passing three places where I routinely purchased chew…three places where I could easily succumb to temptation.

I knew it was essential to quit if I wanted to watch my son grow older. I knew it was essential to quit if I wanted to be a good example for my son. So I contacted Erika. Erika has a calming and empathetic presence. Working with her involved one part counseling session and one part hypnotic reprogramming. We talked extensively about how I got started chewing, how I felt when I chewed, and how I wanted my life to change. She is an active listener with a deep understanding of what it means to fight addiction. The hypnosis sessions felt like peaceful, guided meditations…meditations that went very deep into my subconscious mind. After each session, I eased back into the conscious world with a sense of joy that absolutely felt like it was radiating from within, a sense of joy that forced a simple smile onto my face and lasted for hours.

As a result, I am tobacco free. Those trips to Fred Meyer now include this curious thought process of remembering how I used to be and a sense of awe that I feel absolutely no temptation. On several occasions I have found myself looking at my brand of chew over a clerk’s shoulder in a store and thinking, “Wow! Nothing. I feel nothing. No craving.” It’s almost as if hypnosis resulted in the excision of some weaker, sicker part of me. I am grateful for this change in my life. I am grateful for Erika’s help.
