On The Hypnosis Experience...
"My experience with Green Mountain was amazing. I came to learn how to relax and make time for myself. Karen is awesome and was very patient with me getting my Zoom meeting going."
"Karen is an awesome, down-to-earth “real” person who made me feel comfortable within the first 5 minutes."
"I've never experienced such gentle and easy changes to my general mood, my ability to be present and my behavior (especially towards others) as I have since my hypnosis sessions."
"I started with the Free Monthly sessions based on a recommendation from a friend. I liked Karen's professional style and sense of humor. She explained the process well and I then decided to sign up for a specific situation. Karen has a kindness about her and listens well. Her coaching at the beginning of each session was very helpful and insightful."
"I am so glad I gave this a try. I know that the cost of hypnosis - and the fact that most insurance does not cover the service - can seem like an obstacle. However, for the positive change hypnosis made in my life, it has been one of the most worthwhile investment I have ever made."
"Green Mountain Hypnosis has been a safe harbor and place of acceptance with room to shift, grow, and develop new skills."
"I look forward every week to talking with Karen . She is definitely helping me . I’m so glad for the opportunity to do online video . Thank you"
"Karen was so kind and understanding, she listen to my needs and help me develop a plan to achieve them. Through a series of Sessions I'm well on my way to making my goal... with tools that GMH has provided me the journey gets easier and easier."
"Pre hypnosis chats sometimes brings an epiphany that just completely changes your thought process."
"I owe this knew me to Karen, from Green Mountain Hypnosis! Since the first/free consultation I felt that something had clicked inside of me, that I was able to understand more the why, and trusting that "I have all the resources I need" to be happy, to live in the present, and... to be in peace."
"The benefits of hypnotherapy are so surprising that I might call them downright sneaky! The neuroplasticity that began working in my brain months ago continues to grow and help me reframe things that used to be harmful triggers for me. It is a low-lift kind of therapeutic practice, and the processes that are happening internally aren't always apparent, but they're certainly there. I deeply appreciate how calm and comforting the sessions are."
“I am so satisfied with the results that I would definitely use Hypnosis again- to "refresh" what I worked on before, or as a tool to manage other issues that I find bothersome.”
"I reached out to Green Mountain Hypnosis. I felt a little silly going to my initial meeting with Karen Gray. She suggested that I start with a package of five sessions. I agreed, but as the time drew near for my first session, I considered canceling. It seemed expensive, and would it really work? I decided to give the first session a try and it was amazing... I am grateful for Karen and Green Mountain Hypnosis."
"I have looked forward to each meeting for days before, the level of relaxation that brought me to a place of believing in self care is amazing."
"Karen was amazing! Karen's ability to link my mind and body interactions, her calm and caring demeanor and her hypnotic skills have been amazing... Its a truly remarkable difference."
"My experience was very positive. Karen was professional and supportive, and very knowledgeable about the subject. Anyone (like myself) who is frustrated with common methods of treatment that are not working should try hypnosis with GMH because it is a breath of fresh air, and I saw immediate improvement."
On Hypnosis For Stress and Anxiety...
“I have tried traditional psychotherapy, a variety of medications, and self-help books in the past to manage my anxiety, with limited success. Hypnosis has offered me the most profound and lasting change to date.”
"Karen was amazing! I have dealing with anxiety attacks for several years and immediately before seeing Karen they had gotten worse. Karen's ability to link my mind and body interactions, her calm and caring demeanor and her hypnotic skills have been amazing. My anxiety has decreased significantly, my ability to avoid any significant anxiety attacks has been drastically improved."
“I have generally less anxious, with greater confidence. I am able to engage in difficult conversations, make telephone calls (which I used to avoid), and take risks without experiencing the physical manifestations of anxiety that used to plague me.”
"I went into hypnotherapy with an open mind - and have experienced amazing results. I was stuck in a constant cycle of worrying to the point where it was affecting my personal relationships and quality of life. I worked with Karen for five sessions and truly feel calmer and more relaxed. She provides the tools needed to lead a more fulfilling life, reminding me that the thoughts and words I use shape my future. This experience has been extremely beneficial for me and the anxious feelings are minimized to the point where I feel confident to tackle whatever life throws at me. Thank you, Karen!!"
"I was in a very anxious, defensive space when we began, knowing nothing about hypnosis or where the process might lead. Karen seemed to know just how to reach me and I immediately trusted her and surprised myself by what I was willing to define and share. Her guidance, and reflections, in addition to the actual hypnosis felt like a buoy, one I looked forward to reaching for every week. My work to change goes on supported by Karen's workings."
“I am driving panic free.”
"Hi Karen! I’ve been meaning to reach out to thank you for all the guidance and support you shared with me during our sessions and to let you know the driving is going amazing. Feeling really calm, collected and relaxed. I stayed in a hotel last week and was in the elevator 20 times by myself and felt nothing. I feel so much better! And free!"
"After much research, I decided to try hypnosis to address the panic attacks and anxiety I experienced when driving in heavy traffic. I met with Karen and she explained the process and expectations. During my 3 sessions, she also taught me how to continue the benefits of hypnosis on my own.
As a result of her treatments, I no longer experience panic attacks, and my anxiety has been greatly reduced in traffic. This applies to driving in major cities down the east coast and Florida. In the past, I avoided driving during certain times of the day because of my anxiety. Now, I am comfortable going out at any time. Needless to say, I am much more productive.
She changed my life.
I highly recommend Karen and her skill sets for whatever causes your own anxiety."
“I love the feeling of total relaxation, and I am able to duplicate that at home.”
"Before starting, I was a little apprehensive about whether hypnosis would work or not, but the whole experience exceeded my expectations."
"Thank you, thank you, for teaching me how to manage my body using my mind. It has made such a difference in my stress level and my physical issues. You have created a convert."
"I am able to enjoy life and assert my own wishes like never before, and manage the bumps in the road we all experience without becoming overwhelmed and emotionally drained and hopeless."
"I came in to hypnosis hoping and expecting a major shift in my overall anxiety level in order for me to be the best version of myself for myself and others and act from a place of presence, calm and intention. My expectations were high and I wondered if this was even possible or if I was setting myself up for a let down, but no! Karen delivered in just 5 sessions!!"
"This experience has been transformative. In 5 sessions (and some brief homework) I am now able to be the person I always knew I was and feel much less anxious, more present, more resourceful and empowered in many aspects of my life. The experience was exceptional and Karen's compassion, skills and experience were evident and she was able to help me in ways I did not imagine possible."
“Finally, I have noticed that my "self-talk" has changed in tone from negative and critical to positive, encouraging and empowering.”
"I’ve already made some changes. I utilized one of my strategies just today in not avoiding an opportunity to speak when I already had an excused absence. The fact that I pushed myself to do it, and was a little excited about it was a huge success (and change) for me."
"Outstanding. Seeing my progress as adventures rather than hurdles. I can successfully overcome the obstacles which I have put up by seeing my life differently - stopping creating what I fear, and using that same energy to realize how far I have come, appreciate my successes, and move forward."
On Hypnosis For Sleep...
"I've been sleeping way deeper every night which makes day to day stuff easier, and it's easy to give myself a little time to slow down when work is too busy or my calendar looks too full. Life changing stuff."
"I am able to fall asleep easily, using the additional recording when necessary, take more time for myself and alcohol while not entirely absent is reduced by half."
"Karen is gifted and a powerful helper. The deep relaxation techniques have helped me feel much more peaceful and aided me in sleep."
"Last night I feel asleep for the first time without taking an ambien in two years."
"I am having some restful nights of sleep as a result of the practices you shared with us. Thank you."
"Green Mountain Hypnosis was tremendously helpful in areas that I wanted to address. I would highly recommend!"
"Great news! I slept 8 hours the first night , 6 the next and 10 HOURS last night. I couldn’t believe it."
"Thank you. I believe that you are the reason I am sleeping now. I am very grateful."
"...my first good night's sleep in many years: 7.5hrs with no wakefulness. Thank you so much. This is terrific. "
"My Mom in Oregon has really benefited from your sleep hypnosis audio that she purchased from you. She’s dealt with early awakening for years, tried different meds, meditation, etc., and your program has helped her the most. Thank-you!"
"Karen is knowledgeable about hypnosis and very supportive with her [clients]. I saw improvement in my mental health even after the first session."
On Hypnosis For Pain Management...
"I came hoping to relieve chronic pain in both feet, of 20+ years standing, for which there has never been a useful diagnosis. I knew from personal observation of a friend that hypnosis is real, not a stage trick. Change for me, after five sessions, has been positive."
"I was in excruciating pain after surgery and I knew I was going to have to find an answer to that myself. I have used Hypnosis about 40 years ago and it really works for me so I thought I would try it again. And it worked this time also I respond really well to it. And I do know now if I had pain like that again but I know how to help myself make it better."
"Each session, Karen and I would talk for about 15 minutes. She gave me useful ways to reframe what I was experiencing and, importantly, helped me reframe and begin to heal my past traumas. My migraines have gone away. They may come back, but I now have several recordings (which she shared with me in addition to my sessions) that I can turn to in times of stress and unease. I am grateful for Karen and Green Mountain Hypnosis."
"My migraines are gone, and I can get to sleep more easily and sleep deeply. I also have been able to reframe childhood pain within my subconscious mind and understand why I may react certain ways."
"Positive results. Hypnosis has been a journey into a completely new treatment modality, and there has been noticeable improvement in my pain level. And there are no prescription drugs, with attendant costs, side effects, etc. Finally, the ability to meet remotely is another unexpected bonus--no travel necessary (and the technology was flawless, thank you)."
On Hypnosis For Weight Loss...
"I cannot believe the changes already! I didn't even listen to the audio tape until Wednesday, yet I've lost 4.6 pounds and have NO desire to snack or overeat!! THANK YOU! We are on our way!"
"Hi Karen - I just wanted you to know, I started my weight loss journey on 8/8. Here we are less than a month later, and ten pounds lighter. THANK YOU!!!"
“I have had more relaxed feelings around food. I listen to my body's signals instead of stressing about timing etc of everything. I am thankful for the tools I was given.”
"It's so easy! Other methods which rely solely on will or scarcity don't work in the way one hopes when dieting!"
"You've gone beyond meeting my expectations! I was hoping for a boost in keeping to a diet, but this is a total mindset change. Nothing at all has been "work", it was just as though I'd always been eating this way. And on the couple occasions that I ate more than what is my new normal, it was nowhere near how it used to be. Everything has been beyond what I expected!"
"This absolutely worked. It was simple and enjoyable, and it was tailored to my needs. Much better than the YouTube videos I was listening to for weight loss."
"This program absolutely met my expectations. I hoped to lose weight and gain control over eating, but I also reduced my stress level and am feeling so much better about life!"
"Hypnosis has been a very positive experience. It has allowed me to be in tune with my thoughts and body. "A massage for the mind so to speak." It has allowed for centering and moving in the right direction even if I get off message for a bit. I feel that you heard my concerns from the beginning and tailored my sessions to where I was at being flexible to my needs not your agenda. Also being flexible to the payment schedule was important to me. I appreciate that I could come back for a "tune up" now and then."
"Very successful, each week I see positive results. I feel in control of the process. Not the others where i feel I'm just following along."
"My experience has been wonderful! I came for weight loss, and I lost weight, reduced my stress, and gained control over my eating habits. I have lost half of the weight I wanted to lose and am continuing to lose."
"I decide i need some help in the weigh loss game. I had tried several programs and they all work but i revert back to the same habits as before. Years ago I used hypnosis as means to quit smoking, it work so i thought i would try it for weight loss. So I contacted Green Mountain Hypnosis for help and Karen was so kind and understanding, she listen to my needs and help me develop a plan to achieve them. Through a series of Sessions I'm well on my way to making my goal and be on, my thought process to eating is totally different. I now have control of my actions, I am able to step back and analyze what to eat and when to eat. It has been an on going journey but the with tools that GMH has provided me the journey gets easier and easier."
"I enjoyed 5 sessions with Karen for the purpose of weight loss. I began seeing progress on the scale after session 4, but I also enjoyed additional benefits such as stress relief, relaxation techniques and other coping mechanisms. I see hypnosis as another tool in my toolbox of life."
"After decades of on-and-off dieting, I was tired of always thinking about what I ate, of weighing and measuring, and of the negative feelings I had around my relationship to food. Working with Karen made eating healthy food in healthy proportions something I wanted to do, not something I had to discipline myself to do, and I discovered what long-held beliefs and emotional responses led me to overeat."
"I began experiencing positive changes in my behavior and mindset right away. I began eating smaller portions and felt satisfied, and I rarely snacked. Our first sessions focused on what, when and how I ate but it was in later sessions, when Karen helped me explore what emotions and situations were tied to eating eating and what memories I had around food that I discovered connections I hadn't made. I can now pause and be aware of what I'm thinking or what's happening before reaching for food."
On Hypnosis For Smoking...
"Hi Karen just wanted you to know “ I am a non smoker and will be for the rest of my life”. Thank you! All is going good I find myself repeating that in times of feeling like I would like a cigarette. Thanks again!"
"I came to Green Mtn to quit Smoking after 50 years of smoking and 25 years of failed attempts at stopping. After 1 session with Karen, I was able to stop thinking about smoking, and I didn't have any withdrawal at all. Now I can breath again. It has been 5 weeks, and I have not had a thought about smoking."
"I just wanted to thank you for the hypnosis sessions. I am smoke free since our last appointment! ! Even though I wish I had done it way sooner with this crazy virus present I’m glad I did anyway."
"I am doing well. I have not had a cigarette since our last meeting in February of 2020. I’m sure Covid 19 is a huge reason I have not started again. The stress of Covid 19 definitely makes me want one often. But, I resist the temptation."
"I wanted to send a quick note to follow-up from our session last Monday. Being a 20+ year veteran of smoking, I was open to the idea of hypnotherapy but concerned it wouldn't be effective. After meeting with you on Monday I haven't wanted to smoke once. There was some definite withdrawals from the nicotine, but not a single craving to light up. I have needed to work on my stress levels, but honestly your recordings have been literally life savers. Thank you for helping me spend more time with my family by keeping me healthy. My children are incredibly grateful that I can cuddle and no longer stink :)"
The Great American Smoke Out was a Huge Success!
"I want to thank you so much for the opportunity you gave to people that attend your session, I am not sure if others succeeded, but I did. I have not had a cigarette since and I can’t thank you enough."
“Hypnosis made quitting smoking the easiest thing I have ever done! Thank you!”
"Karen was great and made the experience (1st time being hypnotized) pleasant and effective. I really appreciated the Great American Smoke Out group session she hosted at no cost. Money is such a barrier for so many folks to getting good treatment like that of hypnosis and the fact that she facilitated such an event with no catch shows what a caring and thoughtful person she is. She also provided MP3 audio hypnosis which we kept at no cost. I've been smoke free for almost a week after the one session and dedication to listening to the audio once a day. I know I'll be a non-smoker for the rest of my life! Thank you Karen!"
“It’s not about quitting or giving anything up. It’s about taking control of your life.”
"Thank you for your generosity in sharing your gift and making us non-smokers for the rest of our lives!”
"Put simply, Karen saved my life. I smoked for over 20 years and, despite increasing health issues, couldn't kick the habit. Before meeting with Karen I felt that hypnotherapy couldn't help with a habit / vice that was so ingrained in my day to day life... literally everything revolved around when I could smoke next. I am happy to say she proved me wrong. Karen truly cares about helping others and improving their lives, so if you are considering hypnotherapy, I highly recommend you reach out her."
"Karen remembered why I had quit, where in my house I chose to be for our sessions and tailored those sessions, it seemed, to me. She also helped with the stress that comes along with giving up smoking. I have tried many times in the past to quit but just couldn't do it. Karen believed in me and that gave me more confidence in myself. I'm using the techniques and listening to the recordings to help me to remember that I can do this."
"I quit smoking without becoming ugly and mean. It felt more personal even though it was done through internet. I never even realized i was a non smoker till about a week into it. Was easy. Not constantly on my mind."
"I came because being a smoker for 38 years and recently being diagnosed with heart disease; it was time to quit. From the initial phone call, where Karen explained everything , I immediately felt at ease and empowered that this was and is the correct path for me. I am a success, I am no longer a smoker, and I no longer “ glamorize “ smoking, as a matter of fact I now see that I had been self ostracizing, and now I can be a part of any function with family and friends."
