Client anonymity prevents publishing hypnosis clients' names on the internet. But be assured these stories are not only real, they are typical of hypnosis.

Each client's experience is different and it is important for you to judge your success by your standards.  Here are a few comments I have received about clients' individual experiences with hypnosis. Click here for hypnotic coaching case histories.

Hi John,

My husband saw you many years ago for stress related issues in his stomach area, related to work and work anxieties. He does not have those painful stomach (ulcer like) pains anymore thanks to you. Just thought you'd like to know and thanks so much for your help.

Hi John,
Just wanted to keep you informed.  I am now in the high 130lbs. range. I want to thank you first of all for a diet that is easy, effective and healthy.  Secondly, for removing my anxiety about the scale and emphasizing patience and perseverance.  You realized that due to my history of failure with diets that I was both frustrated and impatient. Now when I see that I have gained a couple of pounds (due to no reason on my part) I know that those couple pounds will come off and maybe an additional pound.  I can look back on my log and know I will be fine--better than fine. You have made a difference in my life.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,

Barbara S (Warren, Rhode Island)

Hi John,

I want to THANK YOU for the amazing insight and help you have provided in helping with my procrastination/lateness for work problem. Much like you said, the experience resulted in IMMEDIATE results; I can't say for sure if it was through power of will, your credibility from sharing similar experiences, hypnosis itself, or a combination of all - the point is it worked! I am THRILLED at the results so far.

Starting that very night, I made sure to follow through and not to push the limit. I was in bed by 9:45, asleep by 10:15, awake by 6:15 - no snooze, and at work by 7:45, feeling energized and happier than ever! I will continue to practice with the disc, although I have not since - I haven't felt the need for it.  Thank you again, I look forward to working with you again.

Thanks,

Natalia L. (Providence, Rhode Island)

Hey John,

I'm happy to report that since we last met in May, I've dropped another 11 pounds.  That's a total weight loss since our very first meeting in April of 21 pounds lost in 3 months.  I know what I need to do keep pushing towards my goal and more importantly, I'm getting more encouraged every day that this is the healthier life I want to lead here on out.  It's no longer a marathon, it's a stroll.  I get it now.
 
The results are netting "Wows!" and reactions like, "Oh my God, what diet are you on?" from many people.  I tell them, "Hypnosis with John Koenig and a swift reboot of the mind."

Thanks so much,
Eliza B. (Providence, Rhode Island)

Dear John,

First I would like to thank you for your amazing talent. I feel like a new person today......For the first time since I was a child I feel free from the prison in my mind which I've been trapped in far too long. You've helped me change my life and words can't express how grateful I am. I'm hoping after a few hypnosis sessions with the tape you gave me I will feel completely comfortable around people. This was by far the most incredible thing to ever happen to me.

Thank you for having the key to unlock my prison door.
Sincerely,

 K. F. (East Greenwich, Rhode Island)

Dear John

I just wanted to thank you for your help with my weight loss.  I came to you in about September wanting to loose 25 lbs.  It is now May and I have lost a total of 28 lbs!!  I am thrilled and feel so much better about myself and life in general. I felt the weight loss was at a nice consistent rate, which is helpful in keeping the weight off.  I truly enjoyed my experience with hypnosis - I'd come every week just for the relaxation of it!! 

Barbara M (Providence, Rhode Island)

 

Dear John,

What a fantastic session! I honestly feel this is going to work! You are an amazing "active listener". How you fit all of my individual needs and concerns into that hypnosis session is unbelievable! You were right on the money with everything you said and the way you framed it in the context of the session...impressive!!! It was VERY personalized and individualized to me. WELL worth the money spent!!

 THANK YOU!!!
 D.R. (Swansea, MA)

Dear John ,

I am so glad that worked with you on my wedding anxiety.  It made me a calmer, happier bride.

I stayed calm and everyone actually did tell me how impressed they were at how calm I was. I had a "bride to be at my wedding" and she told me she hoped she was just like me on her wedding day.

At the end of the ceremony, I walked back down the aisle and started tearing a little bit. I quickly stopped crying (thank you for your tips on this), dried my eyes and was able to go directly to take pictures.

Thank you so much for helping me to find it within myself to have a fun and relaxing wedding day without becoming overly emotional. I am a true hypnosis believer.

Thank you,

Jennifer B, Fall River, Massachusetts

Dear John,

I came to you with a small nugget of skepticism for help with my memory problem.  I'm in sales and was hampered with poor memory for names and faces.  I listened to the tapes of our initial two hypnosis sessions religiously for about 2 months and enjoyed immediate improvement.  6 months later, I only listen to the tapes for a boost once every couple of months.  I truly feel cured and am now a believer in the power of hypnosis. My biggest worry in coming to a "hypnotist" was that you would prescribe repeated, costly, and unnecessary sessions.  While I do plan to enlist your help with a bit of weight loss, I really appreciate your complete lack of pressure!

Thank you,

J.W. (S. Attleboro, Massachusetts)

Hi John!    
I cannot thank you enough for helping make a major change in my life. When I left after our hypnosis session things were so different for me! I have such a positive feeling about everything now!.....its really hard to describe!  I have not used (cocaine) since our visit . All I think about is how you said the quality of my life will skyrocket..... and it has tremendously!!!!! Then those stupid thoughts of using all go away.

I feel fantastic!!!  I cannot thank you enough!!!!!

S.L. (Providence, RI)

Hey John,
 
I want to thank you for your help.  I believe the session worked!  Who knew a phone session would work so well?  I got up in front of the room and gave my presentation with no ill effects.  My voice didn't shake, even my hands didn't shake.  My boss said I did a fantastic job for my first time out.  I only listened to the cd about three times beforehand because you said not to overdo it.  I'm so grateful you sent it to me.  I'll use it in the future when I need a confidence brush up for public speaking fear.

L.R. (Cedar Rapids, Iowa)

Dear John,

Thanks.

My anxiety  is greatly reduced after just a few hypnosis sessions. I feel that I can be myself and am enjoying an inner peace that I had almost given up on ever attaining. The insights you helped me develop went well beyond that I "expected". It is clear to me that you really care. And, for that and your skill, I am forever grateful.

Mara Z. (Providence, Rhode Island)

Dear John,

My goal was to lose 30 pounds. Six months after hypnosis I now weigh 32 pounds less. What's even better is that I never felt any deprivation. My doctor is impressed that the weight loss was gradual and represented a change in behavior that I can live with. Thanks so much.  I intend to keep listening to the hypnosis tape and may check back with you in another six months just to keep myself on the straight and narrow.

Cathy T. (Warwick, Rhode Island)

Dear John,

Thank you very much for our last session!

I saw a real and significant change in my confidence and ability to focus productively after our hypnosis session and things have only gotten better. I've been having a lot more fun and been more productive. I have been reticent about deciding whether or not the hypnosis would work, as I have tried other ways of dealing with my problems. Any relief I had experienced with other methods proved to be short lived. I am glad to say that it has been a week later and things have only gotten better!

L.F. (Providence, Rhode Island)

Dear John,

The hypnotherapy worked wonders!

I was calm and relaxed when the contractions started. I was actually too relaxed....so much that by the time I got to the hospital I was already at 8cm...I relaxed a bit and Olivia was out in 6 pushes. My husband said next time we'll have to stay closer to the hospital because it all happened so quickly.

Linda S. (North Providence, Rhode Island)

Good Morning John,
  
I just wanted to take a minute to give you an update regarding my son Tommy I'm not sure if you remember ( I know you see many) but Tommy had the nervous stomach issue were he would get nervous and vomit when going to public places.  More importantly, we were very concerned on how he would react going to a new school (High School) and taking the bus for the first time.
 
Since we last saw you - Tommy has gone away for the weekend with his buddy, gone to the movies with his buddies and just going out in general - has been doing FABULOUS!!!   
 
He started school last Monday - no Vomiting!!  Still a bit nervous - but has been doing fine- even on the Bus!!!
 
I can not thank you enough - honestly and sincerely, Tommy has done a complete turn around due to the sessions he has had with you.
 
He still listens to your hypnosis tape every night and it helps him get through each day!
 
Again - thank you so very much.  Please use this email as testimony for any who may be doubtfully..you are great!
 
Sincerely,
 
T. W., Warwick, RI

Dear John,

I just want to say how pleased I am with the progress I have made in the last 3 months as your "hypno-coachee" (if there is such a word ;-).   When we started hypnosis, I felt I knew how to organize, but for some reason simply couldn't make a plan last. Today, I have set up a schedule of projects in the house and assigned a month and week to each so I am free to focus only on the project in front of me.  The 15 minute daily planning sessions you suggested are a great idea. It gives focus to my day and keeps me in action moving forward.  Best of all I start school next week. Quite an accomplishment for a 40-somthing mom who works full-time and who used to complain of constant tiredness because there was just too much to do.  I am really impressed with how "effortless" these changes have been. Anyway, I think you are a miracle-worker. I say that because I know my life has become miraculous.

K.R. (East Greenwich, Rhode Island)

Dear John,

Everything is going just great! I am confident of being a non-smoker and have no doubt this is going to last....Your hypnosis "program" is working fine ( I don't really know how it  works but it does and that's all that matters).

I hope to see you again in a few months to work on some "other issues".

Thanks for your help.

J.B. (Warwick, Rhode Island)

Dear John,

I've made it 4weeks. I'm holding at 20lb weight loss which is fine with me as a non smoker.  I know the weight will come off.  Can't thank you enough for your help.  I will return for a boost as soon as things settle a little more.  Did not have the surgery, opted for acupuncture instead.  Have had 2 treatments to date and has helped.  I believe coming to you has helped me make this choice also.  My life is happier and healthier since meeting you.
 
See you soon.
Jan (Warwick, RI)

Dear John,

Just checking in to let you know that I had a successful weekend. I knocked on 7 doors Sat. and although none of them were ready to list at this time who knows about down the road. I'm thrilled with the success that I'm experiencing with hypnosis and look forward to continuing with the therapy (real estate sales).

D.D. (Seekonk, Massachusetts)

Dear John,

This is to attest that when I first started hypnotherapy to work on my career, I was earning $3,000 a month. now, 6 months later I have earned approximately $20,000 each month and going up. I attribute between 70% and 80% of the credit to your work. (financial services sales)

F.L. (Sharon, Massachusetts)

Dear John,

I wanted to let you know how my trip, including the plane ride, went on November 25th.  I did panic for 10 minutes when we left Boston to Miami, but the flight from Miami to Turks and Caicos was wonderful!  I didn't even have the opportunity to listen to the hypnosis cd's.  I simply repeated the mantra you taught me and it worked beautifully. I'm not sure I'll ever be completely comfortable flying, but this was such a huge change that my family no longer dread mentioning "flying" around me.  We are planning a trip to the Grand Canyon for next August! Thank you again for encouraging me to conquer this fear...I don't think I could have done it without your
help!

L.P. (Woonsocket, RI)

Dear John,

I wanted to keep you updated on my progress. I believe today is 9 or 10 weeks SmokeFree and loving it, in-fact I hate being around someone who is  smoking. Everyday there are times that I feel like having a smoke, but I wait a minute and the feeling goes away. Thanks for Your help and have a very happy and safe holiday season.

B.I. (S. Attleboro, Massachusetts)
 

Dear John,

You asked for my opinion about your Stress Release Videotape. Well, I like it. Since I started watching it last week I can definitely report and immediate relaxation of my usual Type A+++ tension. Also, I notice I am sleeping much better at night. I think you have a winner.

L.P (Cranston, RI)

Dear John,

I have been 100% successful since our last session recovering from my nicorette addiction. My life has been difficult but keeping off the nicotine gum has been relatively easy.  I was actually a little surprised that it worked so well and I did so well.  I am a million times grateful to you because it was your hypnotism that did it for me, after more than 25 years of various nicotine addiction!

Sincerely,
Ellen D., New Bedford, MA

Dear John,

Thanks for helping me...I skied great last weekend with no anxiety and feel wonderful about going back again next season (note from a woman troubled by severe anxiety after a serious skiing accident after two hypnosis sessions).

E.C. (Barrington, Rhode Island)

Dear John,

I know some people will think I am silly to take a game so seriously, but I am delighted at the improvement not only in my golf score but in my enjoyment of the sport. I now not only find golf a great physical exercise, but a mental tune-up as well. Thanks again!

P.M. (E. Greenwich, Rhode Island)

Dear John,

After 40 years of smoking up to 2-packs a day, I never thought I could quit and thanks to you and hypnosis I have.   Words cannot express how pleased  I am with this result. Thank you.

R.M. (Pawtucket, Rhode Island)

Dear John,

Our first weight loss hypnosis session was January 5th. It is now about five weeks later (February 11th) and I am happy to report that I have lost 23 pounds through a combination of diet and increased exercise.   I have already given your name to several people.

B. L. (Barrington, Rhode Island)

Hi John,
I wanted to take a quick minute to thank you for your wonderful help. I cannot begin to tell you what your hypnotherapy sessions have done for me. Having the "mommy-ectomy" was the best thing I have ever done for myself. Having no reaction to the things that Mother does is incredibly liberating.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.

T. R. (Warwick, Rhode Island)

Dear John,

Thought that I would write a note to let you know how things are going. I thought you might be interested to know that since our hypnosis sessions, the insomnia that I have suffered for as long as I can remember has seemed to have left.  I am sleeping better now than at any time that I can remember. Also, I seem to be more at peace with myself. Nothing I can really express in words, just a feeling. So, thank you very much for your help.

B.D. (Barrington, Rhode Island)

Dear John,

Thank you so much for your help with my daughter Jessica's birth.  I won't say her delivery was "painless", but I didn't really expect that ;-). However, I was pleasantly surprised at how little discomfort there was.  I actually found I was  able to appreciate the miracle of the process and can say in all frankness that Jessica's birth was overall one of the best experiences of my life.  I don't know exactly how  hypnosis did...but I do know that it worked. Thank you for your sensitive, concern and skill.

M.P.(Lincoln, RI)

Dear John,

All my life I have had a problem with completing things. I was a great starter, but a very poor finisher. And by not completing what I started I was robbing myself of success. Simple as that. The hypnotic past-life regression you brought me through has changed that.  The "past-life" that I experienced in hypnosis was both fantastic and very real. I saw myself clearly as another incarnation  and also saw why I had been blocked. To make a long story short, my prior life as a brilliant, yet rebellious student had been cut short. My resistance to my teacher had elements of the brat in it  and my problem with finishing things was an expression of it.  Well, the relief was immediate and has been expanding ever since the session. My own work as a healer has been facilitated and I know this is just the beginning. Oh yeah, it was also a VERY ENTERTAINING afternoon. Thank you.

L.P. (Providence, Rhode Island)

Dear John,

Bleeding gums are no fun. Yet try as I might I just couldn't seem to get into the habit of regular flossing. Your hypnosis helped me to change all that. My dentist is happy. I am happy. What I have trouble understanding is how one session could alter a lifetime habit of NOT flossing and not even brushing like I should. It has been 8 years since we met and flossing and proper dental hygiene are still a regular part of my life. I appreciate the opportunity to share my (and your) success through this note on your website.

V.P. (Providence, Rhode Island)

Dear John,

Thank you for helping me eliminate my fear of flying. The flight back home was nothing like the one over to the states which I'd have to describe as extremely uncomfortable in every way possible. As you know, I was NOT looking forward to the flight home. Discovering that I "inherited" my little phobia about airplane travel from my mother was an eye-opener and seemed to simply dissolve away the fear.  The results I experienced with your hypnosis sessions exceeded my expectations.

D.M. (Warwick, RI)

Dear John,

When I began your HypnoCoaching program in the fall 2001, one of the goals I set was to have $10,000 a month income. At the time, this was an outrageous stretch. I was, to put it simply, not even close. But you took me seriously and helped me see that this possibility could become a reality. Now a short 18 months later, I not only earn $10,000 monthly but we are working on my second $10,000 since I have expanded my goal to $20,000 monthly. I am not greedy and part of my money goes and will always go to help others.

W.B. (Middletown, Rhode Island)

Hello John,

I think the hypnotherapy helped.  I played 2 one-set matches since Wednesday (we played one set only since we also drilled those days).  I was actually down 1-5 in the first match and came back to tie it 5-5, 30-30, when we had to stop.  I was going to win.  I won the second match 6-0.  Both women I have played in the past and never lost to although they are usually tight matches.

I think it is working because even when I was down 1-5, I was not worried about the score.  I was aware of the score, realized I was down, but still was thinking more about the point, not the fact that I was down. 

Can't wait for the next hypnosis session, see you Wednesday,

Donna (Cumberland, Rhode Island)

Hi John,
 
It has been a couple of weeks since our hypnosis sessons and all is well, in fact I can honestly say that I will never smoke again...Thanks to your help!!!  I feel great too. I had an irritating little throat clearing cough for quite some time but I am happy to say that it is gone. 
 
My best friends boyfriend of 8 years died suddenly May 9th of a heart attack. He had just turned 48 in March. His only vice of late was smoking.. We are the same age and he was also the best man at my wedding. I have known him for so long and it was very stressful dealing with all of the sadness and all of the emotions involved in his sudden death. If I was ever going to smoke again I am sure it would have been then But I didn't and I know I never will again...
 
There are no words perfect enough that I can say to you to express how grateful I am for your help.
 
Thank You Always,
Susan S. (Franklin, Massachsetts)
 

Dear John,

I  am simply amazed at the results from the last hypnosis session. To go all day and night without the need for a cigarette is to me unbelievable.
 
To have absolutely no cravings for a cigarette is astounding.
 
This morning I had my usual two cups of coffee and with no cigarettes, didn't even want one.
 
The habit is there and it's associations but not the craving.
 
I'll keep in touch John. I'm really glad I came to you

 

Respectfully
Al T. (Seekonk, Massachusetts)


 Hi John,

 

Well, so far so good.  At this time, I don’t crave sweets.  

 

Thanks again,

Cheers

Maureen M., the sugar addict (Providence, RI)

Dear John,

I can't thank you enough. I surprised myself by being far less anxious worrying about my surgery before I went. What's more you were right about the surgery itself. The nurses were amazed at how I was sitting up in bed and joking with them within minutes afterwards.

I am very glad I took my sister's advice and came to see you  for hypnosis despite my skepticism. I am certainly a believer now.

Mary S. (Attleboro, Massachusetts) 

Dear John,
 
I just wanted to let you know that I am so glad that I came to you to stop smoking. I'm not even sure how long ago it was but I think it's been over 5 years now. I can tell you that this was the most important thing I've ever done in my life for myself. You saved me from myself and who knows what kind of health problems. I can never thank you enough for that.
 
Laura R. (West Warwick, RI)

Dear John,

For me, the transformation didn't kick in right away. I kept listening to the cds, and finally in october (I think I saw you in July/August of last year) things started to change and I really got on track with weight loss. I have since lost 50 pounds and am working on maintaining it. I still use some of the ideas/affirmations from your CDs to help me when things are more difficult or I have a weak moment. Thanks again!

Catherine R (Westboro, MA)
