THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS ARE A SMALL REPRESENTATION OF THE MANY ISSUES I WORK
WITH.

SMOKING CESSATION; by
Brad McGuire.
Marc, I feel marvelous – It’s been 16 months.
The thoughts of the clean smelling car and a healthy looking 50 year old me remain
at the center of my daily battle. The cravings are infrequent, though strong.
But I will never smoke again because I feel so great as a non-smoker. Thanks for the follow up. I continue to
recommend you to those I come across that want to quit.
SMOKING CESSATION WORKSHOP;
by Judy Corcoran, Advocate Health Partners.
I wanted you to know
that I have not smoked since January 1, 2007.
I used to smoke 2 packs a day.
You are a miracle worker. I never had any strong cravings and it was a piece of
cake. I recommend you to everyone.
SMOKING
CESSATION; by Ahmed
Amer.
I had been heavily smoking the
last two years. Just hanging out with smokers and going partying all the time
turned me into a smoker. I had wanted to quit so many times but could not do it
myself. Two sessions of hypnosis made all the difference. Every time I tried to
smoke after the hypnosis, cigarettes tasted awful and I felt very guilty. I
recommend it to all smokers. Now, as a non-smoker I feel so much better and I can walk up stairs
without running out of breath.
SMOKING CESSATION; by Santiago "Jim" Edison.
So far not one cigarette. I was very surprised.
This is the longest I've made it, and it's been a year now. Thank you.
I used to
get the occasional thought in my head the first 2 weeks after I quit but there
was no significant physical compulsion that I had to fight ever. Those periodic thoughts
were very
brief. It really all feels like a distant memory.

WEIGHT
LOSS; by S. Meshal, Hypnotherapist.
Marc St. Camille
is surely a legend in his own time. A truly gifted Hypnotherapist, Marc
has skillfully guided me in my quest to master the areas of my life, in which I
have constantly struggled to maintain control. For the past thirty years,
I have battled stress, weight issues and a serious sugar addiction. After
trying nearly everything else under the sun to no avail, learning that I was
dangerously close to becoming a diabetic and once again, sadly considering
gastric bypass surgery... I turned to Marc St. Camille as a last hope.
Marc's personalized, ingenious techniques are second to none. I never
would have imagined that I would one day be regarding sweets with the same
simple admiration as I do a bouquet of flowers with no interest in so much as a
taste or that I would ever be the type of person who happily turns to exercise
to alleviate stress and anxiety! I am astounded everyday and eternally
grateful. Give yourself the priceless gifts of peace, control and complete
confidence by working with this world class professional.
WEIGHT LOSS; by Anna Smith.
I can't tell you how terrific
I'm feeling! have no idea how you did it and I really don't think I want
to know how it works - just that it is working! "Free food" no longer has
control over me! It is freedom that I can't begin to describe. I am eating like
my lighter self use to eat! And not feeling hungry or craving food. It is
truly amazing!
WEIGHT LOSS; by Danielle
Carr.
Thanks for everything. Your
sessions have worked wonders! So far I have lost 50 pounds!!
WEIGHT LOSS; by Alex Black.
As of yesterday, I am down 20 pounds in two months.
If not for you I would be 220 lbs by now and on my way to
a heart attack. With my mind working now the way it does after our sessions I
actually look forward to going to the gym. My mind and body working together.
Whereas before going to the gym seemed so difficult. I feel like a totally
different person. Thank you so much, I could not have done it without you.

ANXIETY, DEPRESSION AND MOOD
SWINGS; by Felix Romero.
Hello Marc, Let me say our first session has helped me greatly and I
would like to sincerely thank you. It truly has felt like a dark cloud has been
lifted and I feel this is only the beginning.
DEPRESSION; by Danny Stevens, Student.
I went to see you a few
times five months ago for suicidal thoughts I was having. I have to admit you
saved my life. Never had one suicide thought since the first time I saw you. I
feel healthier. I’m happier. I’m even staying in school.
(NOTE: These 2 clients were being treated concurrently by their
psychiatrists).

PUBLIC SPEAKING CONFIDENCE; By James Shaw,
U.S. Navy AO2 (AW/SW).
I was having a lot
of trouble giving speeches in front of a crowd after a 16 hour shift of training
troops for the Navy boot camp. And after trying Power Hypnosis and listening to
the CD recordings from my sessions with Marc St.Camille I was no longer
nervous. All at once I was just relaxed to go face the world for that moment in
time and give the best speech I had ever given in my life. I could not have done
this without the help of Marc and Power Hypnosis. If someone is having trouble
with everyday life problems or just trying to improve with school, lectures or
everyday stress I definitely say you need to try Marc out at least once. He will
change your life.
PUBLIC
SPEAKING CONFIDENCE;
By
Mimi
Apelqvist, VP - Consumer Goods & Retail, Cook Assoc., Inc
I
started seeing Marc because I was PARALYZED by the very notion of public
speaking. I had done public speaking in my career but always did horribly. I
would turn bright red, my hands would shake, my heart would beat so fast I could
barely concentrate on anything else, my mouth would go dry, and ultimately I
would make my audience squirm due to my extreme discomfort. I would lose sleep
as soon as I found out I had to speak and the agony would continue well beyond
the speaking because I would be so embarrassed by my performance. After seeing
Marc a couple of times, I am thrilled to report that I had to make a
formal presentation the other day and miraculously did remarkably well…not just
okay, but in fact got many accolades after my presentation. I thought working
with Marc would make some difference but I never expected it to make such a
notable difference. This experience has provided me with a great base of
confidence from which I can build. Marc was exceptional in his approach, very
thorough and attentive to my core underlying issues, and committed to me getting
beyond this limiting fear. The results are proof! The additional tools he
provides add immeasurable value as well. I categorically recommend him to get
beyond any issues.

TEST PREPARATION & FOCUS;
by
Kris J. Krauss,
Trial
Attorney with the Federal Defenders of San Diego.
As a
practicing criminal defense attorney I use Marc St. Camille's self-hypnosis
technique as a preparatory tool for every hearing and trial I have. I first
sought Marc's assistance while studying for the California Bar Exam.
I was having trouble focusing and processing the incredibly large amount of
information that I had to master in order to pass. Some of my colleagues who
were practicing already sung Marc's praises stating that they believed that
self-hypnosis was the reason they were able to complete the exam successfully.
After talking to me about the problems I was having in accessing all the
information I had in my head, Marc gave me a self-hypnosis routine to practice.
And he kept in contact with me afterward to make sure I was practicing like I
should and to see if it was succeeding. Needless to say I passed and continue to
use Marc's technique today. It helps me stay focused and to remember key facts
and case law so that I am always more prepared than the prosecutor and perform
at the peak of my abilities. I highly recommend Marc St. Camille's Power
Hypnosis for anyone who wants to achieve their full potential.
TEST
PREPARATION; by J.Collins.
I had a few hypnosis
sessions this summer with you on account of taking the Illinois Bar Exam. This
morning, I found out that I passed the Bar Exam!
Thank you for all your help
–
I am sure the positive thinking and stress relief techniques you taught me
surely helped me get in the right frame of mind to pass the exam. If I have any
other problems/issues, I will be sure to contact you. Again, thanks for all your
help.
FOCUS & TEST PREPARATION;
By Ron Moran.
I’ve been in the IT Solution and Project Management business for over 25 Years.
During the last six months I had been having trouble focusing and feeling
positive about my life. It seemed that I had went from a very positive can do
person to a very negative person over night. Some what skeptical about hypnosis
I agreed to visit with Marc in early August to discuss these issues. After only
my first visit it seemed like the light bulb had been turned back on. During
this same time I was trying to pass my PMP exam. After talking with me about the
problems I was having accessing all the information I had in my head and the
requirements for passing the exam Marc gave me a self-hypnosis routine to
practice everyday. I was so impressed with the first visit I continued to see
Marc and have turned my life around 360 degrees. I passed the PMP test on
September 6, 2007 and my whole outlook on life has changed for the better. I
highly recommend
Marc St. Camille’s
Power Hypnosis for anyone who wants to succeed and achieve their full potential
in life. I would like to say thanks again to Marc for all his help and
assistance.

TRADING PEAK PERFORMANCE; By David Charles.
I
went to Marc St.Camille to help me overcome an excessive lack of
self-confidence. Being an intraday trader without self-confidence is impossible.
I had been able to only put on trades of a couple hundred shares and then
rarely, so I was ready to try something new. Marc introduced me to a daily
program incorporating meditation, self-hypnosis and hypnosis. I went home and
meditated daily as Marc showed me and played the CD of our hypnosis session when
I went to bed every night. I slept better that first night than I had in years
and it has continued since.
Within a week I was trading
with less hesitation. I am now putting on more share size and making several
trades a day. And I have been profitable for several weeks in a row. I look forward to
trading now, rather than dreading it. And I get more "in the flow” each day. I
also like going bed as I no longer stay awake staring at the ceiling thinking
self-deprecating thoughts. My wife said "you've changed! I like it!" I am going
to continue in the manner that Marc has taught me for the rest of my life. By
following his directions each day my life is better than I thought it could be.
Thank You Marc.

SALES MOTIVATION; by Todd S.,
President of a technical staffing agency.
I own a business
and looked to Marc St.Camille hoping to find a way to increase my motivation and
sales production. I had achieved a level of success that I was comfortable with
but, felt it was time to take it to the next level. In my first meeting with
Marc he really took the time to understand my situation. As it turns out the
biggest hurdle I was facing was my high level of stress and the fact that I
wasn't doing anything deal with it. Marc taught me multiple techniques to deal
with my stress as well as a hypnosis program that helped me to push my
production higher than I ever thought possible. Even with a higher level of
activity I am able to cope with the stress in a healthy way and I feel better
than ever. Marc is a true professional and I would highly recommend his
services to anyone looking to make a positive change in their life.
_________________________________________________________________
MOTIVATION & SELF-CONFIDENCE;
by Vince DiVito,
Entrepreneur.
Marc, I just wanted to say that I
truly enjoyed my session with you. I would be lying if I said I wasn't skeptical
about trying hypnosis but then again what did I have to lose? An hour of my
time? I felt that the time you spent to get to know my goals was just as
important as the session itself. I found it very refreshing to hear your
thoughts and opinions since you would have nothing to gain from me either
starting a new career or not. The session itself was great, on top of getting me
to think in a whole new way and just getting myself in gear. It was fun to
relive past events in my life that still have an impact in my life, such as a
gymnastics meet from a few years ago. I saw old friends and smiling faces all
over again (not to mention my crazy high school hair!).
When I left your place I had such a
feeling of peace in me. I actually lingered in the city and sat at the park for
an hour and just people watched. That following week so many ideas came to me. 2
weeks later I’m still brain storming ideas and putting together a strong formula
for lasting success. I was glad I got the CD recording of my session. At night
sometimes I'll lay down and put on a pair of headphones and just sit in total
darkness and listen to it all over again. It’s like a refresher, reminding you
why you were there that day, why you’re taking the steps that you’re taking. So
many times in life we get detoured and it sometimes takes a while to remember
what your original plan was. With the CD it brings you back to that moment like
it just happened and you remind yourself of what your ultimate goal is. Without
a goal there’s nothing, you’re wasting your time. So for that and your time
spent talking with me I thank you. It was great meeting you and great to know
that you’re here in Chicago instead of New York. I have no hesitations referring
any of my friends and family to you. Thanks again.
MOTIVATION & OVERCOMING PROCRASTINATION;
Dwight Walker, Jr. Author.
Marc's sessions have set me on a blazing trail to accomplish my goals! One
of my biggest problems was procrastination. Now my biggest problem is
finding something else to do! The light switch has been turned on and I'm
living a much brighter life!
We
talked about me publishing my book. I finished and sent it to the printers on
7/25/07! I also haven't been late on my bills. Things are picking up! I want
to thank you for your help!

PEAK PERFORMANCE & SELF-CONFIDENCE;
by Cory Hance, Professional Musician.
The hypnosis
session you took me through and mental exercises you taught me have helped my
confidence onstage immensely. I just had a great show in Milwaukee. I could feel
the positive energy radiate from myself through my guitar and microphone into
the audience.
I don't think I could have had a
performance like this happen without the pre-show exercise you taught me. Thanks
for helping me "broadcast" better to the audience.

VARIOUS ISSUES
By Dr. Ajana Miki, Naturopathic Physician & Acupuncturist.
As an acupuncturist and
naturopathic physician, I do quite a bit of work with people with addictions.
One evening I did a search for hypnotherapist in Chicago and found Marc's Power
Hypnosis website. I left a message with the intention of meeting him on behalf
of my patients. When he returned my call, I gave him a list of issues that I
was personally interested in addressing as a means of assessing his areas of
comfort as a hypnotherapist. He was undaunted. I decided to have a session
myself.
I went into the session with
several issues to work on. Marc asked several questions and very insightfully
uncovered the central theme. The hypnosis session itself was very relaxing. I
remained skeptical that anything could have happened until I left the office.
The session had been around the inability/ability to experience pleasure. I
don't know whether I fell asleep or was in a deep state of meditation, but I did
not remember anything that was said. I left the office and half an hour later,
noticed that I was walking very slowly and smiling. Two things that are unusual
for me. I was not rushing around. I was thoroughly enjoying the sunshine and
the breeze on my skin and the leaves on the trees and even the movement of my
body as I walked. On top of that, I felt peaceful and very happy. I realized
that I had been depressed for months without having noticed. Months later, I
find many moments when I slow down and deeply experience the pleasure in each
moment, of eating, walking, loving others...
I have experienced three
sessions to date. All have made a noticeable difference in releasing fear and
helping me to feel more alive. I find Marc St. Camille to be a gifted healer.
I have referred several patients, each one has called to tell me how pleased
they were with their sessions.
Thank you Marc, for your
integrity and enthusiasm. I will continue to recommend you to my patients.

EMPOWERMENT; by Linda Howe, Director, Center for Akashic Studies.
The work that I
experienced with Marc St. Camille has been nothing short of extra-ordinary. He
combines sophisticated skills and exquisite sensitivity to support the client in
producing powerful results. In any visit with him, I have felt understood and
appreciated and left empowered to take the next step in my journey.

DATING CONFIDENCE & OVER-ALL CONFIDENCE;
By Dain Carrolson.
Marc, since
initiating hypnosis with Power Hypnosis to increase my self-confidence, and
particularly my confidence in interacting with women, I’ve experienced very
distinct, positive changes in my life and personality.
Prior to working with you I
would consistently find myself too intimidated to approach a person I wanted to
meet, and floundering and nervous on those occasions when I did find the courage
to initiate contact.
After working on overcoming my
general lack of self confidence what helped me further was that we focused on me
as a whole person. Venturing into treating more specific areas including bad
habits like nail biting, the fear of speaking publicly, lack of assertiveness at
work, and of course confidence in engaging women. I’m convinced that it is this
whole-person approach that has facilitated the deep and lasting changes I was
seeking.
Since our work together, my
interactions with the opposite sex have taken on a very different character! I
find myself fully relaxed, yet just exploding with confidence. I no longer
let the situation get to me. It no longer matters where the conversation might
go or how (or that) it might go off course. My more relaxed state allows me to
enjoy the interaction for what it is and in the moment it happens and not to
encumber it with anxiety. And, as you predicted, women have even begun
approaching me at times, without my having to make any effort whatsoever! It’s
not an easy feeling to describe, but if I had to I’d use an analogy: I’d say it
feels like I’m riding a strong, surging horse up a steep hill, like I am simply
unstoppable and like I have a perfect, clear-headed grasp of the situation. It
feels like being a different person. Something like: "Wow, where's my anxiety
right now?” I look for it to be there, I expect it to be there, and it's not!
Additional evidence of the
effects of our work would be that I haven’t bitten my nails at all since our
last meeting 2 months ago, and that my habit of biting my lip has decreased at
least 90%! At work I’m cool and deliberate, no matter to whom I’m speaking. I
no longer feel intimidated, and I say what I want to say knowing that I’ll be
understood. And if I’m not at first, I’m not flustered; I simply reassess the
conversation and readdress the person I want to communicate with.
I can’t tell you how happy I
feel to be able to go through life without my former concerns! I’m grateful
to you for helping me make these changes. And I’m grateful to myself for taking
action and having the guts, or even, the defiance! (of a general public
doubtfulness of alternative therapies or self-help generally). Thank you!

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION (ED) & SEXUAL PERFORMANCE ANXIETY;
By Steve Jones.
After our 4 sessions
and a few weeks later I'm doing great. My confidence with regard to my
performance is higher than it's been in a long time. I've been with two new
women in the past weeks and everything went great. The first lady I was a little
nervous at first but simply did the self hypnosis and from there I had no
problems. The second lady I was with I had no performance problems at all and I
was noticeably calmer even before I did the self hypnosis. I see it only getting
better from here. I weaned myself off the Viagra like we discussed and I'm still
sticking to the plan. When I'm by myself (solo) there has been progress too. I'd
say I'm close to 100 percent.
I continue to meditate every
morning and some evenings as you taught me to keep stress at bay. Stress is
almost a non factor in my life now. I don't even take the anxiety meds my doctor
gave me anymore. I plan to continue meditation for probably the rest of my life.
Besides the obvious benefits I really enjoy doing it. Thank you for introducing
it to me.
I honestly can't thank you
enough for your help. If two months ago I asked myself where my ability to
perform would be, I would have never guessed that it'd be in a good place. How
far I've progressed is astounding to me. I can't believe how much better I'm
doing. I'm a huge proponent of hypnotherapy now.

ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE; by Quenton Lindstrom.
The mental techniques I learned
working with Marc helped me to not only improve my athletic performance but also
my personal life. I recommend his services for anyone looking to improve their
overall quality of life. As an athlete who competes at a high level I have been
exposed to hundreds of techniques to help me 'get in the zone' - none of which
were anywhere as effective as one hour with Power Hypnosis."
ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE; by Jennifer Hogg, Silver
Medalist.
The mind is a very powerful thing and Marc St.Camille provides the ability to center and
channel it's energy into incredibly successful and life changing experiences.
My names is Jennifer Hogg and I am the 2005 United
States Silver Medalist in Aerobic Gymnastics. I had been competing successfully
in this little known division of gymnastics for 5 years and had been ranked in
the top 5 for the last 4 years. However, year after year I would fall just short
of the medal stand. I met with Marc, only one short week before this years
National Championships, and he gave me the tools to fulfill my medal dreams and
become a much stronger competitor.
Marc helped me to focus on my strengths and gave me
tools to combat nerves and "negative energy" that can be so prevalent in
competitive sports. I had never felt so prepared and confident as I did on stage
this year. It allowed me to concentrate on the task at hand - hitting the medal
stand - without all the traditional distractions. I'm looking forward to representing the US at next
years World games in China where I know Marc's teaching and tools will once
again serve me well.
ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE & OVERCOMING FEAR; By Diane Taylor.
I
am a lawyer by trade but an equestrian at heart. Some time ago, I took a bad
fall in the show ring. I was unable to ride while my body physically healed. I
worked hard to regain my strength and climb back in the saddle. When I was able
to do so, I realized that my physical strength was only part of the issue. My
mind continuously replayed the fall in my head. I was too frightened to jump
again. I worked hard, on my own, for many months but was unable to overcome my
fear. Then, I began working with Marc
St.Camille.
Over the course of 7 sessions with Marc, I learned to relax and my mind became
my ally in my efforts to succeed again at my sport, as opposed to my enemy.
Just recently, I went back into the show ring and jumped successfully. I could
not have done it without Marc. I am immensely grateful.

STRESS RELIEF WORKSHOP; by David Cobb, Partner, Deloitte.
Whilst on a
conference in Chicago organized by my firm, Deloitte & Touche I attended a workshop session
entitled "Stress-Relief through Hypnosis: How to stay healthy on the road"
conducted by Marc St.Camille. Marc took us through a 20 minute meditation session
and a 20 minute hypnosis session. The session overall was extremely
effective in making me feeling relaxed and afterwards I was left feeling more
alert, aware and refreshed. During the one hour we had with Marc he was able to
teach us the basic practices to continue a program of meditation and/or self
hypnosis by ourselves and I have continued to do so. The benefits I experienced
from the one hour session are successfully reproduced and I find myself
generally more alert and productive, but also more relaxed and less stressed as
a result.
MEDITATION & STRESS MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP;
by Carolyn Pomykala.
Marc demystified
meditation to me, gave practical explanations of both how and why, without any
incense or chanting. The time flew by, I walked out with serene eyes &
refreshed mind. Meditation seems to be a healthy & happy way to deal with the
world.
STRESS MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP;
by Phyllis Mategrano.
Thank you Marc. The workshop was great. I melted right into it. Fabulous
delivery of information and my sisters concur. They are the toughest critics
you’ll ever have.

FOCUS,
CLARITY & RELATIONSHIP ISSUES;
By Bob
Bartkowski.
I
first came to Marc about 3 or 4 months ago to find out why I was "holding myself
back" in many areas of my life, primarily in relationships. But I also knew that
it was more than that, i.e., this problem was not just limited to one area but
was manifesting itself in all aspects of my life. I didn't know how to
handle it but I knew I needed to do something. I had always been
intrigued by the power of the subconscious mind, as well as its effect on one's
behavior so I looked into hypnosis and found Marc's website. Marc's calm and
inviting demeanor instantly put me at ease, as I still had some doubt and
apprehension as to whether this modality would be effective. All I can say is
that visiting Marc was a truly wise choice on my part indeed! His effectiveness
in the area of hypnotherapy as well as guiding someone through the steps of
learning how to meditate is without question.
Simply put, I have
gained focus and clarity not only in my relationships but in other areas of my
life as well. I realize now that I deserve nothing but good things and will
not settle for anything less again. I think the gift of clarity of purpose is
the highest gift you can bestow on someone. If that be the case, I thank you
Marc for giving that gift to me! Marc St. Camille has my highest recommendation
and my sincere respect and gratitude.

FEAR
OF FLYING; by Peter Sarna, Senior Manager Global Development.
I was always afraid of flying. The problem was that my new job required me to
fly quite often. I noticed that every time I flew my fear was getting worse and
worse. I decided to do something about it and then one of my friends told my
about hypnosis and that this is how I could get over the fear of flying. First,
I didn't believe it as I am one of those people who are always skeptical of new
things, but then I did a research online and read a few stories that proved my
friend's point. This is how I crossed my paths with Mr. Marc St. Camille. He
helped me big time. After only two sessions I went on my first flight from
Chicago to New York and my fear was gone. I have taken numerous flights since
then and I have enjoyed (!) every single one of them. Big thanks to you Marc!
_______________________________________________________________________________
FEAR OF INSECTS; by Gina Saka, Licensed Massage Therapist.
I have had an odd fear
of certain insects since my childhood and within 2 sessions I am a totally
different person!! I actually had some doubts at first because some of my fears
were so old and deep. Because of Marc's help I was able to get to the very root
of my fears. I think when you are able to help someone do that it is a true
gift. Marc St.Camille gives you the tools you need to reclaim your freedom and
master your fears in a very safe, professional and effective way. And it's fast,
remarkably fast! I have and still highly recommend him to anyone.
_______________________________________________________________________________
FEAR OF HEIGHTS; By Susan Lasky.
After our 3rd session I rode the elevator to the observatory on top of the John
Hancock Building. I viewed the city and Lake Michigan from way up there. And
just like you instructed me, I focused on one item at a time, grounded my legs
and felt confidence within myself. Well, Marc it was fabulous! There was
absolutely no fear or apprehension mentally or physically and most importantly
no fear of heights or riding in the elevator.
Thank you for giving me the
added insight to call upon my inner being by meditating. I meditate more often
now. I also, listen to my hypnosis session CD's whatever chance I get. I carry
all three CDs in my briefcase and also listen to them here at the office.
I can not thank you
enough for helping me to develop my inner self and to take life on as a
challenge instead of taking life as an obstacle. You have truly made my life
more meaningful.
The new me will be flying on
planes without any fear or apprehension. Wow, imagine that I now look at
everything as a challenge not an obstacle. Thanks to you I can now enjoy life to
its fullest and not hesitate to take on new challenges.
_______________________________________________________________________________
FEAR
OF DRIVING; by Dr. Sarah Allen, Psychologist.
I contacted
Marc after a series of car accidents left me fearful of driving to places I
didn’t know. I am a psychologist and through using psychology-based behavioral
methods had become comfortable driving locally. However, the car accidents had
not been my fault, which reinforced feelings of driving safely being out of my
control. I had to drive locally for my work and children but I felt restricted
because I had never been able to drive myself from the suburbs into Chicago and
always had to rely on trains or family and friends to get me places downtown.
After carefully listening to my driving concerns, Marc recorded a CD of our
hypnosis session to listen to daily and I drove myself to my follow-up
appointment a couple of weeks later! I’ve been driving in to Chicago since. I
think hypnosis is a great adjunct to traditional psychotherapy for issues such
as depression, anxiety and panic attacks.

NAIL BITING;
By Mike Trumbold.
I was a nail biter
for 50 years when I learned of Marc St. Camille's skills in hypnosis. After
two sessions with Power Hypnosis I have completely stopped biting my nails. I
can't begin to say what this has done for my self esteem, to say nothing of not
having to hide my hands any more. Marc's methods are up front, innovative and
he made me instantly calm at our first meeting. He took considerable time in
walking me through what situations caused me to bite my nails and different
reasons why these situations cause this response in me. I never felt rushed or
hurried. His actual hypnosis was very easy on my part. At times I know I was
completely asleep and only realized later that I was actually responding to Marc
on a totally subconscious level. The entire experience was rewarding. I
recommend Marc St. Camille and his Power Hypnosis highly!

TRICHOTILLOMANIA (HAIR PULLING); by April Adams, 27 years old.
For 22 years,
doctors, therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists told me that hair pulling
(trichotillomania) had no cure and that I would have to fight the urges to pull
every day of my life. Anyone who suffers from "trich" knows the pain,
insecurities, humiliation, discouragement, and shame that come with this
disorder. I never went more than 2 days without pulling until I found Marc
St.Camille.
He must have been God-sent because the minute I saw him I knew I was in the
presence of a very special soul. Marc is gentle and kind. This man genuinely
cares about his clients and helping people and it shows in every way. He
literally trained my mind to let go of this “bad habit” and become relaxed and
comfortable with myself. My urges stopped after the first hypnosis. I listened
to the C.D. recordings of our sessions faithfully. And I meditate just as he
taught me, twice a day. After the 3rd session I no longer even think
about it. It has been weeks since I have even felt ONE urge to pull my hair and
I am certain that I can now go the rest of my life pull-free. I truly feel
blessed to have worked with Marc and am so excited to FINALLY begin to live my
life to the fullest. Marc, I hope you know what a difference you are making in
people’s lives and what you have done for my life! Thank you for being you!

SOCIAL
& SEXUAL ANXIETY; by
David Goodman.
My life has been better than I
could've ever Imagined since I met Marc St.Camille. I
had grown up sexually repressed with the belief that sex or thoughts of sex were wrong or
improper. It had been affecting my life since I could remember. When I would
date a girl or want to date a girl, there were so many things I couldn't
physically do and
couldn't even bring myself to say out loud. I felt like it was wrong to want to touch a girl or be touched
(let alone go further). And there was certainly a point In a relationship that I
could NEVER get to. Once I started getting closer and closer to a girl, I just
had to end It. Also, when I first met Marc, he made me realize I was unable to
even SAY the word "sex" or any word relating to sex. I was a total mess and
self-destructing quickly.
I had tried to solve my issues for about six years before I met Marc. I
went to speak to multiple psychiatrists and therapists, but figuring out what
and why I was having these issues only intensified the problems. They
became unbearable. I was at a breaking point and searching and searching
for help, and stumbled onto the Power Hypnosis Chicago website. I had NO Idea
that it would be the end of my problem and the cure to my misery!
We first talked a bit about what I was thinking and going through. He asked
thoughtful questions and assured me I was not the only one in the world with
this problem, which was the first time ANYONE had told me that. It meant the
world. He took his time to understand what I'd been through and where I was.
Took careful notes and made up a plan to help me.
After one hypnosis session, I felt better when I saw my girlfriend. I
was so used to having these horrible barriers for so long, when they weren't
there all of a sudden I felt like a new person. I had expected to fight
these awful feelings, but all of a sudden they weren't coming up. I knew right then he was going to
cure me! I had NEVER IN MY LIFE felt ANY progress or difference until after my
first session with Power Hypnosis. I’ll never forget it. I know it sounds
weird, but the first moments it was such a huge and drastic change in my life; I
knew I would need one more session to really put me over the mountain.
Marc St.Camille has changed
my life in a way that I could never repay him. I know it’s drastic, but the
things I felt before had me wondering if it was worth it to live at all. I felt
trapped in a hole my entire life and Marc finally saved me. And it was easy.
All I did was listen and relax. I'm experiencing loving a person for the
first time In my life, and because of that it's like I'm finally alive. I can
only thank Power Hypnosis Chicago.
If you have anything in your
life that burdens you, weighs on your mind, anything in your personality that
bothers you, or anything that you've ever wished felt better, Power Hypnosis
Chicago can help you. I would guarantee it to anyone. It's the greatest
treatment for anything in the world. Thank you so much, Marc - I owe you
everything and I will never forget what you did.

SEXUALLY COMPULSIVE BEHAVIOR & ALCOHOL DEPENDENCY;
by Barry Stevenson.
I was
having many problems with Sexual Addictive Behavior and Alcohol Dependence. My
many urges and dependencies were complicating and ruining my life. I felt like
I was living in a cloud, dazed and confused. And I had always thought I could
not say NO to anything! With five sessions over a few short weeks with Marc I
noticed a big difference. My impressions of hypnosis are very therapeutic.
Marc St.Camille is very professional and is a person who really wants to help
others to reach their full potential. My urges and desires are now under
control! Three months later I am a better husband and athlete and more focused
in every day
life!

CHILDBIRTH -
HYPNOBIRTHING; By Selena Martinez.
Based on my belief in the power
of the mind, I sought the help of Marc St. Camille to help me prepare for the
birth of my first child, through hypnosis. I had no idea what to expect as far
as the hypnosis process, and when I arrived, I felt a little nervous and a bit
guarded. But this feeling soon left, as I sat down and spoke with Marc. Marc
was very thorough in his questioning. He wanted to be sure he had all the
necessary information and any important details to combine with what he had
already learned about me from our phone conversation. We also spoke about
meditation, and then focused for a few minutes on breathing. Now fully relaxed,
we began the session, and on the spot, Marc spoke words that were tailored just
for me. I was very happy with how the session went.
Marc made sure to find out that
I best received information visually. So needless to say, my session was filled
with guided imagery that would later help my soon-to-be-born daughter and me
through 10 hours of active labor.
When that day came, it was far
from painless. The fetal monitor read out the intensity of my contractions in
two ways, graphically and numerically. We were able to see the intensity in
high peaks and numbers that reached 150 and above. I listened to the CD of my
session with Marc to help in my self-hypnosis while I was in labor. My husband
was baffled at the fact that, at times, I showed no indication of pain, as the
monitor displayed high peaks and numbers, indicating intense contractions,
sometimes one on top of another. I experienced many of these contractions only
as a mild sensation.
I feel that the hypnosis and
mental preparations helped me to make it through labor and the delivery of my
child, drug-free, allowing my child and me to be fully present, coherent, and
safe. Others who were present, commented on what they saw. After delivering
my baby girl, my midwife told me that she had never seen a woman as composed as
I was. One of the nurses, while expressing to my midwife how hectic it was
going that day, was told to take a break in Room 207 (my room), because it was
peaceful in there.
I had set out a goal, which
was to birth naturally, no drugs, no interventions, if possible, so as to make
the first moments of my daughters life outside the womb safe, clear, real. I
began developing my plan early on in my pregnancy by attending natural
childbirth classes which informed and prepared me for what was to come. I
practiced meditation for relaxation and focus. But I knew none of this would
lessen the pain - only help me to deal with it. So finally, I came to Marc to
solidify my preparation and to ensure the experience that I had hoped for. What
I took from him, not only added strength to what I had already done to prepare,
but at times removed me from pain altogether. Giving birth to my daughter was
the most important experience of my life, and physically, the most difficult.
Marc St. Camille shared largely in my preparation for this day, and in creating
the peaceful atmosphere in which my daughter came into this world. I have much
respect for him, and highly recommend him, for it is obvious to me that he has a
true gift to help others.

QUIT
USING MARIJUANA; by Wayne W.
My name is Wayne. I am 52
years old. I was searching for any way to stop my 30 year
dependency on marijuana. I smoked daily for many years. Even though I have been able to
work at a relatively high level, smoking pot was having a serious effect on my
personal relationships and zest for life. While searching the internet for
solutions, I came across Power Hypnosis and Marc St. Camille. Although
somewhat skeptical about the effectiveness of hypnosis, my
wife suggested I see Marc. I lost my desire to smoke pot after our first
session. I listened to the CD Marc made of our session a couple of times and
concentrated on my goal of abstention. We had a follow-up session, and I can
gladly report continuing success. My wife is curious about why If this process
can be this easy and productive, why the line to Marc St. Camille's door is not
wrapped around the corner. Give him a try. You have a tremendous amount to lose.
QUIT USING
MARIJUANA; by
Irina Neeva.
I saw you in 4.2006 for treatment to stop smoking marijuana. I listened to the
CD you made for me during my session every time I thought about wanting to use.
It took all of 30 days for me to be off this bad habit. My boyfriend smoked also
and after he saw that I was strong enough to do this he also stopped and I am
quite happy to say that it has been over a year and we are both over it. I
wanted to give credit where credit is due and tell you how much I appreciate the
service you provided me. It has changed me in the most positive way and made me
and my husband better people, as well as great parents for our son.

SMOKING CESSATION; By Jesse Dawes.
Let me start with saying I was
a heavily addicted three or more pack a day smoker. I started smoking later in
life but when I started I jumped right in with both feet and had been smoking
for over 10 years. I tried the patch and zyban to help kick the smoking
addiction but with no success. I also had tried hypnosis with another therapist
with no success. So needless to say I was somewhat skeptical when going to
Marc.
My previous hypnosis experience
consisted of the other therapist asking a few questions, playing me a tape, few
suggestions given to me, in total lasting no more than 15-20 minutes. I was
given a cassette and that was about it. I was given a follow up session that
consisted of the same identical steps, suggestions, etc., but no additional
cassette since the session was the same as the first.
Wow. Marc was so different from
my previous experience! Marc is a true professional
hypnotherapist.
One of the things that I believe that sets him apart from others is the fact
that he takes the time to perform a comprehensive evaluation, an in depth
interview, and he listens! With my addiction it did take 5 sessions before I
cut down all the way to zero and remained a non-smoker but with each session
there was major progress and I was finally able to kick the habit. I was amazed
how Marc seemed to be able to customize each session depending on our
discussions at the start of each session.
During
the process of ending this addiction I had numerous other issues, stresses and
triggers to my addiction: work/professional problems, personal/home-life issues,
and even a death in the family. Marc not only helped me uncover the triggers
but also totally understood my issues with stress. Again on-the-fly Marc would
somehow pull out of his magic hat a customized session to address my issues. I
always left each session not only better able to
control my smoking but better able to handle stress and an overall increasing
feeling of general well being.
In addition Marc gave me
numerous tools, recommendations, and observations addressing my environment,
physical life and personality traits. Marc makes this all easy as he has a way
of making you feel comfortable, relaxed, and at ease. It is also very
refreshing to see he is technologically up to date providing the option of
supplying each custom session on a CD. It was great to load it to my MP3 player
and take it with me anywhere!
I believe if you are open and
honest with Marc there isn’t anything he couldn’t or wouldn’t be able to help a
person with. Again a true Professional!
Thanks, very much Marc!

SMOKING CESSATION
& CONTROL
ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION;
by Michele A. Grassi.
Dear Marc, I wanted to take this time to
thank you for the remarkable change you have made in my life. I am living proof
that your hypnosis really works. At the time I came to you I was drinking
almost every night and smoking close to a pack of cigarettes a day, if not more.
After completing 2 sessions
with you, I must admit I seemed to still be having a difficult time with both
indulgences. Then
suddenly within maybe 1 month’s time, I woke up one day and lost all desire to
drink or smoke. It’s like a miracle. If you remember I wanted to
still be able to have an occasional cocktail and I do. I thought after having
one or two that I would want my usual follow up of 3, 4 or 5 but the one or two
are enough and I am able to not want anymore. Same goes with a cigarette. I do
have one or two on occasion but then I stop. Just sort of loose my taste after.
Thank you Marc; I can live
healthy and happy once again. I must also tell you I look and feel so much
better already, I can breathe better and no hangovers - yeah!!!
Thank you for the wonderful
transformation of me.

SMOKING
CESSATION; by Ryan Cleaver.
Truly unreal! I
came in with a skeptical attitude, and after two sessions came out smoke free!
It has been quite a while now, and I feel incredible, running almost every day. After
the first session, I walked out with a smile on my face, and a feeling like a
huge weight just got lifted off my back. I have tried gum, patches & pills with
no success. I feel great! This is one of the smartest decisions I have ever
made. Thank you Marc!
