Hello Everyone...

Building Your Home…

“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” ~ Winston Churchill

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plan to leave the house-building business to live a more leisurely life with his wife and to enjoy his extended family.

The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter agreed, but over time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.

When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to inspect the house. Then he handed the front-door key to the carpenter and said, “This is your house…my gift to you.”

“The Supervised Clinical Internship gave me the opportunity to see diverse clients with many different issues. The reason this was most important was because it helped me get out of my shell even more to expand and utilize many of the different modules that I had learned previous in class. As challenging issues came up, I moved through them and even more I learned a lot from them with Jessica’s guidance.”

“One of the strengths of the hypnotherapy program is that students are exposed to many different techniques and have the opportunity to practice them with classmates. There is a strong class interaction, time for discussion, and practicum. The teacher(s) use of language and stories really engage students. I’ve already noticed some great changes in my sales and performance abilities.”

“Marla, I want to thank you for your wonderful gift of your time and talent. I have to admit that I was not completely comfortable at the airport at first, I mean, it’s kind of a leap of faith to believe that 20 years of this fear would be released in just a couple of sessions. But my nerves calmed as I walked down the jet-way and boarded the plane; I was relaxed the entire trip. Amazing !!”

“Thank you for everything. I know you played a big part in my getting over this whole smoking issue! I never thought I would notice the difference so quickly and how the desire to be back in that place would be null and void! Quitting is of course not easy, but you have definitely made the road less bumpy. (Rather smooth to be honest!) Thank you again for your compassion and wonderful work.”

“Everything is going great as a non-smoker! I’m surprised how easy it was to quit after coming to you for hypnosis with just one session. Who would guess that having smoked three packs of cigarettes per day for over 15 years I would be able to quit after just one session. You are a miracle worker!!”

“I came to you to become a non-smoker. And as much as you helped me to lose interest in cigarettes, it is also about all the other positive changes that have me thanking you every single day! You are a true healer. Hypnosis (new to me) is a wonderful tool/path, but I know it is YOUR positive approach and insight that makes all the difference. I felt so validated after a session with you. I found it amazing how gently; positive suggestions were given and accepted. I will recommend you to friends looking to greatly improve any aspects of their lives. What a positive experience is hypnosis. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“I had to lose weight. Carrying around 100 extra pounds was affecting my knee joints as well as my blood pressure. I had tried other methods to lose weight in the past, including a medical diet, but I always gained the weight back because I was careless about how I ate. I found out about the Motivational Institute of Hypnosis when my wife heard you present a spoon bending class. I wasn’t sure what to think about Hypnosis, but I thought I’d give it a shot. During our sessions I was very relaxed. When you first gave me suggestions that I would stop eating as soon as I was full, I thought to myself, “Yeah right!” I was REALLY skeptical. But you know what? IT WORKED! I’ve already “gotten rid of 50 pounds, and I don’t have the urge to eat like I did before. People are really noticing the changes and they ask me what I’m doing. I always laugh when I tell them the story. Hypnosis really works!”

“I first found out about using your hypnosis services from my Mom. I was skeptical at the time, but I considered myself to be “open” to give hypnosis a try to lose weight. I’m only 19, and I needed to lose forty pounds! I was constantly making excuses for doing things that I knew were wrong for me. I drank a lot of soda and had a craving for fast food. Also, I am a late night person and I tended to snack a lot. All of that has changed as a result of our sessions. I’ve already lost 30 pounds and feel great! At this point, for me to exercise and eat the right foods seems like the most natural thing in the world. Now, instead of craving fast food, I crave salads! I’m feeling good, and my friends and family have commented on the noticeable improvement in my confidence and in my life. Thanks making it so easy!”

“Wow, thank you Marla for helping me discover that the eating issue I had wasn’t just about what I was eating, but what was eating at me. Once we started working on unresolved issues that I was stuffing down with food, I was able to release the weight more quickly and easily. It’s been 2 years now that I’m at my desired size, shape and weight, and I still feel great. I miss not having our sessions, but I’m looking forward to booking some more sessions, as I know there’s always something I can work on improving.” I am forever grateful to you. Blessings.”

“I’ve been using Hypnosis, NLP language patterns and EFT in my Kaiser practice for several months now, and I am amazed at how quickly my patients seem to improve and over come their anxiety and fears. My biggest discovery is that most of the “resistant” patients I have, improve more quickly when I use the hypnosis and Energy Psychology techniques than when I only do talk therapy. Thank you.”

After applying these tools in my own life, I can successfully help others develop and grow into their full potential. My awareness has been awoken and I can now see myself developing into the person I want to become as I help others do the same. I’m excited to begin my practice as a hypnotherapist.”

“Ever since taking this training, many doors of opportunity have opened up for me both professionally and personally. I originally thought I’d just take one 60-hour training through the Motivational Institute of Hypnotherapy, but I soon realized I was on an incredible path of change and I needed to continue. I’ve obtained some incredible tools that have helped me in my personal life and have propelled the success of my coaching practice. The instructors are superb and they have a wide range of expertise.

“I am not a healthcare professional, yet I decided to take Marla Brucker’s NLP course to help improve effectiveness in my sales profession. NLP is not just geared towards therapeutic professions. NLP can be used to improve your ability to effectively communicate your message and to elicit intended responses from any customer one might have, whether that customer is a person seeking therapy, a client seeking trust and direction, or a sales person seeking a vendor. I would highly recommend this course for anyone who is looking to increase their communication skills and productivity in any workplace environment.”
