“What should I expect? I don’t want to be made to say or do anything that will embarrass me. The idea of giving someone else control over me is just too scary.”

Those are some of the comments people make when I mention how much I enjoy being hypnotized. Let’s put your fears to rest. Here is what you can expect when you schedule an appointment for hypnosis with Sylvia Runkle:

A cozy office. A large, comfy recliner. Headphones with rhythmically soothing music. An experienced, confident guide speaking to you through your headphones as she guides you down the path of a daydream. The tension in your muscles will dissolve as you mentally journey towards a destination of your choice. You soon realize with unwavering certainty that no one but you is in control of you. Sylvia will use her three decades of experience to gently steer you along the path that leads to your goals and your highest good. You’ll feel in your bones that safety and dignity are simply woven into the fabric of your time with Sylvia. Her compassion and integrity will be evident. As you gradually rouse yourself to a state of limber, relaxed joyousness after a time that will seem like minutes, you’ll ask yourself, “Whatever was I nervous about before?” And then you’ll ask Sylvia, “When may I schedule my next appointment with you?”

Sylvia picked up on my subtle cues during my session with her. As a result of that, she verbally guided me to areas in my psyche I had not previously explored. I was delighted to work with such an open-minded, talented, and generous hypnotherapist as Sylvia Runkle. Added benefit: My entire journey was captured instantaneously on CD! My time with Sylvia was sheer pleasure.

Thank you, Sylvia!

I was at wits end, I had misplaced my wedding ring and another ring, that was given to me by my parents. I had searched for over 2 months, but was just getting more stressed by the day. I called Sylvia and she agreed to see me the next day. I went with an open mind and the hopes that she could help me relax and remember where I had put them. When we were finished she told me where she thought, from my answers, I had put them. Before I left she gave me a CD with relaxation music and told me to go home and look and if I didn't find them that day, not to worry. I went home and looked where she had suggested, I had looked there previously and not found them, once I took out all the items, one by one, in that drawer, there where my rings in the bag!!!! I am eternally grateful to Sylvia for all her help, and would recommend her 10 fold.

Because I had so much anxiety driving on the highway, I was unable to do so for a few years. It stopped me from doing things I wanted to do. After meeting with Sylvia Runkle, I'm able to drive on the highway calmly and confidently. It's made such a positive difference for me. She was personable, professional and very helpful.
