Jason is not only gifted at his craft but he genuinely cares for the success of his clients. Jason helped my son who is an elite badminton player to improve his performance. Through the 10 sessions of working with Jason using a tailored hypnotherapy approach, i noticed the changes in my son’s self talk and boost in confidence and outcomes. I highly recommend his services because he goes above and beyond to hear the concerns and help create change for healthier life, wellbeing, and success.

Working with Jason has been a game-changer for me... his guidance was instrumental in my personal and professional growth. Through our sessions, I was able to overcome long-standing anxieties around being comfortable in my own skin, public-speaking and executive presence. Jason’s approach is both compassionate and empowering, providing me with the tools and confidence to not only face these challenges but to excel in them. His work has significantly shaped me into a powerful and confident leader. After our sessions, I grew into a leadership role at a new company and I can't thank him enough for his insights. I highly recommend Jason to anyone looking to overcome personal barriers and unlock their full potential.

Tennis is a tough sport for juniors and young adults. My daughter struggled some w self induced expectations and the mental side of this game even though she enjoyed a very successful high school career. Her first year of college tennis was a struggle and she finally realized that some mental coaching was a requirement. She had a few sessions with Jason over the summer before her Sophomore year and the short fall season- wow- she’s playing the best tennis of her life. She’s simply playing at a level that she is capable of and staying out of her own way emotionally and mentally. I don’t know what was discussed in the sessions with Jason, but I know what I see. I see my daughter enjoying this game again and playing at a level consummate with her skill and talent. The frustration and expectations no longer rule the day. I could not be more happy that we found Jason. THANK YOU JASON!

Jason Is in a word, Great. As an experienced lawyer, to say I was skeptical would be an understatement. He was recommended by a trusted friend. I tried Jason's "coaching" to shore up some areas I felt needed help. It was surprisingly helpful. Dare I say, invaluable. Yes, it was. Thank you Jason.

Our 9 y/o daughter was really struggling with emetophobia prior to working with Jason.

The onset of Emetophobia transformed her from an outgoing, energetic child who loved sports and school into an anxiety ridden shell of herself who was constantly worried about throwing up and being around anyone she thought might be sick. She no longer wanted to go to school or participate in sports. She started being very picky about the food she ate and how much she ate due to fears that eating the wrong type of food or too much food would cause her to get sick. She was also constantly asking us for confirmation and reassurance regarding whether she was sick.

We had her work with a psychologist with experience in this phobia and ERP treatment approaches but saw zero progress. We were really desperate to help our little girl and so decided to take a chance on hypnotherapy. We did a Google search and found Jason’s site.

The results of working with Jason have been nothing short of amazing and far, far exceeded our expectations. Jason has restored our little girl to us. Her appetite is back to normal, she enjoys school and sports again, she doesn’t ask for confirmation of whether she is sick, and can be around others that are sick without freaking out.

We can’t thank Jason enough for the work he’s done with our daughter. He has not only helped her but us as well. As parents, we were so stressed and feeling so powerless to help our daughter that we had trouble sleeping and finding any enjoyment in life.

We are now back to feeling like a normal functioning family again all thanks to Jason.

We were so satisfied with Jason’s work with our daughter that we asked him to help her overcome her fear of getting hit by the ball when playing goalie in lax. She now no longer jumps out of the way when the ball is shot and is showing more confidence in goal.

We cannot thank Jason enough!!!

Jason is very helpful and easy to work with. On topics he is not familiar with, he will always do the research to gain the knowledge necessary to help serve his clients. His follow up/check in sessions at competitions are very useful and help me get into the zone. I really appreciate how in depth and detailed he is when helping me!

Jason is wonderful. He made my 13 year old son feel very comfortable and motivated to work on himself which we were unable to help him with ourselves. He uses the strategies Jason taught him daily and we are so grateful we worked with Jason

Jason is a great communicator. He’s clearly a very skilled hypnotherapist. I would highly recommend him for whatever you’re working on.
