Success Stories

No one can guarantee your success.

Your experience may vary from the ones described here. But keep in mind I have been in private practice for almost 20 years. And most of my clients come to me as referrals from satisfied clients. medical practitioners and therapists. Here are a few comments I have received about clients’ individual experiences with hypnosis.

Last time I looked there were 12 pages of comments from my clients
(people like you) here on different uses of hypnosis and hypnotic coaching

And, click here for a very partial list of well-known people who credit hypnosis with contributing to their success.

You jump started me back to myself
“Hi John, thought you would like to know the positive results! You jump-started me back to myself.

1. Had full body composition after our session. 2. Joined a fitness studio when it reopened, been taking 3-4 exercise classes a week. 3. Found a privately owned lap pool that is open and have been swimming. 4. I rejoined Weight Watchers, lost 6.6 pounds in 6 weeks. I am in week 7.

My clothes fit, I am back...

I give credit to your "therapy."

He Really Listens…
“I have had three sessions with John Koenig that have been spaced out about 3 months between each one. At each session, John sits with me for about an hour and talks to me about what I want to get out of the hypnosis before he actually begins the hypnosis. The main reason he gets 5 stars from me is because he really listens during that first hour. I can tell he listens because he will expertly integrate what we talked about into the hypnosis session. If you're thinking about hypnosis, I would recommend John Koenig to my family and friends.   Sean L. , Warwick, RI”
 
He Has a Knack for Dissecting the Issues Quickly
“I was referred to John for some issues I'm working thru around behavior, mindset and habits that may be manifesting into physical pain. He has a great knack for dissecting the root issues pretty quickly and then developing a plan to work the subconscious out of the rut or issue that you can't get through. I've found in just a few weeks that my mindset has been shifted and both the images and phrasing he's given me have been very powerful. Importantly, he does a good job of explaining what hypnosis is and isn't (isn't a carnival trick, is a way to try and impact your subconscious long term) and I found this to be critical in understanding how it could help. Last, John puts you at ease and his experience is very useful in getting to things quickly. Most importantly it's clear that he cares a great deal about his clients. Def recommend, it is very powerful.   Chris G., Lincoln Rhode Island”
 
Had Low Level Depression – I have my life back
“I met with Mr. Koenig about a year ago for what I thought was one issue having to do with a relationship. John was able to quickly uncover that the true issue was something that ran much, much deeper. He truly did change my life that day. The transformation in me over the last year has been incredible. I've always had low level depression...my entire life...since the age of eight. And it's gone. Gone! What a gift. He's given me my life back. No, let me put that another way--he gave me the life I always should have had. I can never adequately thank him for what he's done for me. I plan to go back to him, without hesitation, for any other issues that may arise. He's the real deal. He also gives you a recording of the session, but honestly, I never had to listen to it a second time. I'm so very grateful. Jean N., Attleboro, Ma”
 
Over my Food Issues –FINALLY!
“I am writing to share how grateful I am to john Koenig. I have gotten amazing results from my work with John. I have struggled with certain issues around food for most of my life and I can honestly say that at 54 years old I am finally feel free of them! In my job as a mental health counselor I have also referred many of my clients to him for issues with addiction, issues of self confidence, depression and more. John has an incredible ability to understand people and to empathize deeply with them. The conversations that John facilitates prior to the hypnosis are very therapeutic, and then you add the hypnosis work and you have a very powerful tool for growth and change.   Lindsey C., Peacedale, Rhode Island”
 
Brain Surgery Prep to Fearless Flying
“I have worked with John on two occasions. The first time I saw John I was struggling with enormous anxiety due to a pending brain surgery I was to have at Mass General. I was constantly worried about the procedure/results and having a hard time sleeping, thinking about anything else etc. I had never had surgery before and now I was having brain surgery which terrified me. I saw him two times for this and the day of surgery, I was as calm as a cucumber! I felt no fear or anxiety at all! It was unbelievable and my family witnessed the amazing results. They were also blown away by my relaxed state. I had never done hypnosis before so I was a bit skeptical at first but also open minded because I really needed help. Well, it worked wonders! So the next time I saw John (a year later than the first meeting) was for my fear of flying. We had one session and then I flew to Maryland the next week. I felt calm and relaxed. In addition to the hypnosis, John had some great advice and tips for me regarding flying. Not only is he a great hypnotist, but he is so very insightful and enlightened. He takes the time to talk with you and really understand the route of the problem. He is easy to work with and has a great calming ability. I plan to go back and tackle many more issues in the future. I would highly reccomend to all.   Laura R., Tiverton, Rhode Island”
 
Finally Holding Down a Job
“John koenig was great! I went to him because i was having trouble holding down a job and my confidence had really taken a hit. I wasn't sold on the idea at first of hypnosis but i thought what did i have to lose. I went to mr. Koenig and he was really professional but more noticeably he had a very calming and trusting demeanor. I gelt relaxed within 5 minutes of the session. The session was roughly 45- 1 hour long. I thought it was great, if anything very relaxing. Since then i've been with my job for a year and a half (which for me is quite long!) I still feel stressed or occassionally insecure at work but i'm not always on edge that i'm about to be fired. Big bonus- Mr. Koenig has a really soothing, almost folk story telling voice! Leslie T, Providence, Rhode Island”
 
18 Months Smoke Free!!!
“I am happy to say that I have been smoke free 18 months smoke free ! I feel like I have been set free of this awful, disgusting habit that has had me in chains for so long. The only regret I have is not seeking John out sooner. I no longer use my inhaler through out the day . I only use it once in the morning upon awakening and I am sure that will also improve . My goal is not to use them it at all. Only if I am sick with an upper respiratory infection or cold virus which is normal being an asthmatic. My car no longer stinks lol.... I no longer stink lol ... I can walk my dog without huffing and puffing half way through it. I remember when I was a smoker and getting half way through the walk thinking I had to quit smoking because I couldn't breathe. I would returned home only to use my inhaler more than prescribed. I just returned from my trip to Aruba. I brought the CD and my stones. I am happy I did. The place had a lot of smokers there. I was literally surrounded by them at the tiki bar to have lunch and to enjoy happy hour. I don't know if I was disgusted or felt sorry for them or most likely a combination of both watching them inhale that poison. I can say that I passed that test with flying colors. I would listen to the CDs that had been provided from the sessions. It was a reminder at night. It help me stay focused and prepared for the next day. If you are looking to quit smoking this is definitely the way to go. I tried everything else patches , gum, pills. This works! Melissa P, Cumberland, Rhode Island”
 
One of the most amazing experiences of my life
“
6/18/2018

I went to John so I could have some help developing a healthier lifestyle.  It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.  I even felt different when I left and noticed I was thinking differently as well.  I am now on my way to a healthier life and am more motivated than ever to reach my health goals.  I would definitely recommend John to anyone as he helps with many things.

Work had literally become a pain in my neck
“To whom it may concern: if helpful to you I would like to share my great respect and admiration for John’s work. He has mastered the complex art of the subconscious, psychology and human behavior mixed with the practicality of every day life.  Importantly he does an excellent job of explaining how hypnotism can have a lasting effect. It’s critical that the patient understand that his method has everything to do with altering your long term patterns and behaviors thru the subconscious vs being in some sort of trance or media described manner of hypnotism. He does this with a disarming and trust built style built upon excellent listening skills and a lot of experience in helping his patients.  Even in the weeks post just our first session I have felt significantly better mentally about the situation I’m in and mental images and suggestions he’s given me have had a strong imprint. For all of this and more I am truly grateful and could not give a stronger recommendation to John and think that many would be helped by being open to the field of hypnotism as practiced by John. Chris G. East Greenwich, Rhode Island”
 
My only regret is not seeking John out sooner
“Hi John,
I am happy to say that I have been one month smoke free! I feel like I have been set free of this awful, disgusting habit that has had me in chains for so long. The only regret I have is not seeking you out sooner.
My car no longer stinks lol.... I no longer stink lol ...
I walk my dog without huffing and puffing half way through it. I remember when I was a smoker and getting half way through the walk thinking I had to quit smoking because I couldn’t breathe and coming  home to using my inhaler.
I have recently increased the distance in my walk. Upon returning home I feel much more relaxed, center and in control.
I just returned from my trip to Aruba. I brought the CD and my stones. I am happy I did. The place had a lot of smokers there. I was literally surrounded by them at the tiki bar to have lunch and to enjoy happy hour. I don’t know if I was disgusted or felt sorry for them or most likely a combination of both watching them inhale that poison. I can say that I passed that test with flying colors. I would listen to your CD as a reminder at night. It helps me stay centered, relaxed and focused.  Love those stones!!
 I can’t thank you enough for your help and kindness. Like I said, the only regret I have is not seeking you out sooner.
Sincerely, Melissa B. Rhode Island

The Nurse Said I was Too Relaxed
“I used hypnobirthing with John for two of my three children.  I was so relaxed and comfortable at my second delivery (first of my "hypnobirthing experiences") that I delivered 7 minutes after my check-in time at the hospital. The nurse showed me my check-in and delivery times (just 7 minutes apart) and sternly asked me to PLEASE PLEASE never to do that to them again.  For my next hypno-delivery I made sure I got to the hospital on time. I cannot recommend hypnobirthing enough for making the whole process much easier. My only regret is that I didn't use hypnosis to prepare for my first delivery - that "labor" lasted 36 hours. Sandra K. Attleboro, MA”
 
Was curious if hypnosis really worked…
“
I first met John in March of 2011, when I went to see him for help kick-starting my pre-wedding weight loss plan.  Frankly, I’d always been curious as to whether or not hypnosis really worked...My goal was to give up alcohol and sugar until I lost 15 pounds, which I knew would not be easy. What the heck – a little hypnosis couldn’t hurt, right?
So there I found myself, in a comfortable chair, eyes closed....there was no hokey pendulum, no carnival sideshow intonation: “you are getting sleepy…very sleepy…” It felt natural, organic. The only real indication I had of how deeply I’d gone under was when it was time to come back I discovered my arms and legs had fallen asleep.
That night, I easily went to bed without a drink or a sugary snack. In the days that followed, I was amazed at how effortless it was to commit to my new diet. I didn’t feel deprived. In fact, I felt satisfied and optimistic.
John makes it fairly difficult to become a "regular," as he provides each client with a recording of their session, which makes it easy to do upkeep at home. This former ad man seems genuinely interested in selling only one thing these days: positive, lasting change. K. C. Wilder Rhode Island    ”
 
60 but feel much younger – so much energy!
“

Good morning,

I just wanted you to know that my Dr. canceled my appointment last week (vacation). I’m rescheduled to see him in November, but hopefully sooner.

I continue to do well. Blood sugar levels are the best they’ve been in years! I’ve lost 20+ pounds and feel great. I walk my two dogs at least 4 days a week (1 mile each dog!) I’ve never felt better. Occasionally I listen to the second CD you created for me. However, for some reason, it does not do for me what the first one did. So I listen to the first more often.

At this time, I don’t think I need to make an appointment for another visit. I would like to reconnect this fall – September/October to see where I’m at and to have you record another CD for me (If that’s agreeable with you).

People in my congregation ask me about my weight loss, my diabetes health, and “the program” I’m in. Many are pleasantly surprised when I tell them it’s not a program I’m in, but a hypnotist I’m seeing! I’ve passed copies of you business card on the several interested people who are dealing with high blood pressure, alcohol issues, and  diabetes.

I cannot thank you enough for what you’ve done for me. I feel like I FINALLY have a grip on health issues that have had a grip on me for years. Thanks to your help and insight, I know I CAN do it!

I turned 60 last week, but I feel much younger, with so much energy!

My best to you always,

Stan W, Connecticut

Sober Thanks to You
“Hi John, I am sober and want you to know I plan to be this way for the rest of my life (one day at a time). The desire for alcohol is gone and I keep repeating "pride, self-esteem, dignity, one day at a time".  As you know I am 65 years old - this was a miracle. I never thought I could stop drinking. It is 60 days now and I know what I have to do to keep this up. Frank B., Westerly, RI  ”
 
Passed my Professional License Test
“John is amazing! Very uplifting experience. I needed help with passing a State exam for my job. I have so much anxiety when it comes to testing, always have. John listened to all my concerns and helped me the way I needed to be helped. I know the material but I lacked the self confidence to pass. I went to John this past Tuesday being my last chance on my exam was today.... I PASSED! This is going to open some many new doors for me and my family. If it was for John's patience and understanding my needs.. I wouldn't be able to say I've passed. He helps! He saved my future! I recommend him! My name is Heather and I am happy I met John! Heather S., Providence, RI”
 
My wife and I now both non-smokers!
“We were motivated (but skeptical). Both of us has tired everything from patch to groups and nothing had worked. This worked. John even gave us a small discount at our first session that we came to together. But the amount we paid for hypnosis was nothing when we did the math as two pack a dayers we were spending over $7,000 a year. Next stop Florida Keys for a two week vacation pre-paid. Needless to say we are satisfied hypnosis customers of Mr. Koenig. Al and Geri S., North Attleboro, MA    ”
 
Help with natural childbirth
“

John Koenig is an incredibly talented Hypnotist, who truly cares about helping his clients. I first saw him in 2009 to help prepare me mentally & emotionally for all natural child birth. His support was invaluable. Many years later, I enlisted his  support to help me make major shifts in  my life. Although, I have never been a smoker, I know this is another area he excels in helping others. He is always very professional and his prices are completely reasonable. Each visit has been so relaxing, enjoyable & helpful! For my next appointment, I won't wait so long!

Used to vomit in public places
“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 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, Jennifer W., Warwick, RI”
 
Internet Pornography Problem
“Dear John, This is very difficult topic of discussion for me. You were very understandable and I did not feel judged, which I truly appreciate. This behavior is ugly and disgraceful. I felt safe discussing this with you and you understood where I was coming from. You have given me HOPE that it can battle this condition and overcome it. I want to have complete control of my own destiny. This addiction has side tracked for me, but I know I have the strength to improve. I did notice a difference last night. When I got home I was truly looking forward to being with my family. Unlike other days, I WANTED to hug my wife hello. I was really happy to be home. When I went to bed, I was in the moment with my wife. I just wanted to hold her. The thought of sex was not present. I was happy and completely satisfied to be next to her. This morning, my wife left to get her hair done. Normally, I would use the time to 'act out', but I just haven't had the need. Thank you! Sincerely, Ed R. Providence, RI”
 
John Koenig changed my life….
“John Koenig changed my life..... In so many ways... I stopped smoking over ten years ago , he helped me deal with stress... To me he will always be my hero... Thanks John Susan L., Rhode Island”
 
I can honestly say I will never smoke again…
“ It has been a couple of weeks 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, Massachusetts)”
 
Knocked 10 strokes off my game
“The session had a tremendous impact on my golf game. I listened to the CD the night I returned home and again in the morning before I played. I was able to control my nerves on the tee box and knocked 10 strokes off my game. That's huge! The phrase "Relax and Focus" as a trigger really worked. Thanks John. Steve H. (Warwick, RI)”
 
Back on the slopes after skiing accident
“Dear John, Thanks for helping me...I skied great last weekend with no anxiety and feel wonderful about going back again next season. E.C. (Barrington, Rhode Island)”
 
Wasn’t worried about the score
“Hello John, I think the hypnotic coaching 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 session, see you Wednesday, Donna (Cumberland, Rhode Island)”
 
Serious Golfer Learns to Enjoy Her Game Again
“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)”
 
I suffer from multiple sclerosis…
“On the advice of a good friend I decided to try hypnotherapy. I suffer from multiple sclerosis and recently had a relapse. Since that time my anxiety had gotten a hold of me and life was no longer enjoyable and more of a struggle. Due to my anxiety I found it very difficult to do things at all out of my "comfort zone". John is the real deal. Since meeting with him my life has improved in so many ways and I feel like a different person! He told me that when I walked out of his doors the world would be the same but I would not. Was this ever true! I highly recommend anyone who has a mental health struggle that they just cant get through to please give John a call. He is professional, caring, empathetic and most important he gets the job done! Lauren L, Rhode Island”
 
John talked me out of controlled drinking…
“John talked me out of trying "controlled drinking" and convinced me it was time to get serious about my drinking problem. And yet he did it in the most gentle way that I didn't even realize it was happening.  For that I will be forever grateful. Three hypnosis sessions and I am now over 6 months sober and feel alive again. He changed my life. What more need I say? Maureen K, Westerly, RI”
 
…my drinking had gotten way out of hand…
“Dear John, As you know my drinking had gotten way out of hand. It was affecting my business and personal life, maybe even my health. I have been following the program we worked out of a maximum of four glasses of wine a day and am pleased to report that I have never gone beyond this. In fact, some days I have only had one glass and occasionally none at all. My wife is thrilled at the change and so am I. I am enjoying my wine just fine and am happy that I don't have to give it up entirely. Thanks for your wonderful help. Regards, John T. (Providence, RI)”
 
Drinking only on weekends
“Dear John, I have been able to keep to drinking only on weekends or when I am out with my husband for three months now. This is terrific. I understand that if I can't make this work I will have to consider total abstinence and that (combined with your obvious understanding and talent) is what I think is giving me an added incentive. So far so good and it has been much easier than I thought, no cravings. Horray. Janet B. (Rehobeth, MA)”
 
No Vomiting
“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.

I feel you restored me to my true nature and helped to free me.
“Good morning John! You are a gift to the world! Thank you is an understatement. I feel like i have been dipped in Holy Water. All is as you said. The same but changed. Despite meeting dogs and documentation last night i have a bag for donation and a large bag for trash. So you know you are a wounded healer! Thank you for opening yourself to the loving Higher Power...... extraordinary how you understood things with compassion and love. Amazing grace. I feel you restored me to my true nature and helped to free me. I hope all you give in the world comes back to you multiplied.You and me and something bigger than us! In my dream last night a trappist monk appeared on a beach and beckoned to me to follow him. I didnt see his face but i was happy to follow. I appreciate follow up appointment, book and cd's.i am waiting outside a door as my client is being examined. Have a wonderful day and peace. Liz J., Pawtucket, Rhode Island”
 
Fear of public speaking removed
“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)”
 
The results exceeded my expectations
“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 exceeded my expectations. D.M. Warwick, Rhode Island”
 
I wanted some turbulence to test myself
“I am back!!!...I think that my fear of flying dissappeared at least 75%, still I have respect for that animal in the sky...lol, my experience coming back was amazing...I handle every second of my flight very well...there was a point that i wanted some turbulence to test myself...no shaking, comfortable, but my next step is enjoying it, that is my goal. In  the past just the thought of enjoying it seemed impossible, but now I am amaze that that may happen sometime in my life. Still I took some medication to calm my nerves...but there was a possibility that I didn't really need it...things are going much better...probably I will go back in two months to have an amazing time there in the beach...thanks again,  you beat professional that were working on these for years!!!...I will give you a call soon for our next step! E.F., Central Falls, Rhode Island”
 
My family no longer dreads mentioning flying around me
“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 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, Rhode Island”
 
I had an appointment with another hypnotist…
“I went to John eight years ago to help me stop smoking.  I had tried the gum and other things, but nothing worked. I had smoked for fifty years and was a confirmed heavy smoker. I liked his approach form the beginning. What I liked the best is that I could continue to smoke between the first and second sessions and smoke less between the next sessions. I believe that there were four sessions. During each session I would don head phones and John would speak to me in his soothing voice and I became quite relaxed. He would not chastised me for smoking or talk to me about the hazards of smoking--none of that. Between sessions, I would listen to the tapes of each session at home. I thought that I could never quit, but I did thanks to John.  The first few days were not as difficult as I envisioned. I have not smoked since nor have I had the urge. My nicotine addition is history thanks to John. I bless the day that he came into my life and he was not my first choice. I had an appointment with another hypnotist and he did not show for the appointment! Thank God, and I found John. Al M., Providence, RI”
 
John is fantastic…
“John is a fantastic therapist! He takes his time to really understand your goals before providing treatment. I have been numerous times over the years to help with professional and personal development. Hypnosis certainly is a powerful tool. Brian S, Scituate, RI (Comment: I am not actually a therapist but a Hypnotic Coach and Hypnotist). ”
 
Coming up on six years of healthy freedom…
“Coming up on six years of healthy freedom from cigarettes! Thank you for the wonderful work that you do! Steve S., Barrington, RI”
 
50 pounds lighter and a new lease on life…
“A+ Hypnotherapist and Life Coach, John is a man fully of warmth, energy and insight..  I treasure our sessions together and continue to rejoice in the New Me.  50 pounds lighter and a New Lease on Life.  You have earned and deserve every one of the five stars.  Thank you John. Mary P., Lincoln, RI  ”
 
John Koenig is an amazing hypnotist…
“John Koenig is an amazing hypnotist.  I have tried numerous times to quit smoking over the past several years, but each time I failed. That is, up until now! I am most surprised that quitting this time has not been a struggle, and that it feels very different!  I was at a point in my life that I knew without exception, that I had no choice but to beat this addiction, or I would have the addiction beat me. Three of my family members have died from lung cancer and I did not want to have the same fate.  I had never been to a hypnotist before, and had received this hypnosis session as a gift. I did go with an open mind, because of how desperately I wanted, to be successful. I will be forever grateful to John for his expertise, knowledge, sensitivity, and caring nature. Thanks John, I will be forever grateful, Sharon - Anne, Pawtucket, RI”
 
I went from a pack a day to being cigarette free…
“Wow, I cannot thank you enough John. After just one session, I went from smoking a pack a day to being cigarette free. I'm so happy and can't thank John enough. The money I have saved from quitting smoking has already paid for his services. I highly recommend consulting this man. Cat P, Providence, RI”
 
I don’t know where to begin
“I don't know where to begin, so to keep it simple, John Koenig is absolutely amazing.  He has saved my life, literally. I went to John to quit smoking and to my amazement it worked. I tried many times in the past with little success; maybe a day or two even a week, but always reverted back to my old habit. When I went to John he explained the therapy to me, told me what to expect and here I am today a much healthier, happier NON-SMOKER!!!! I wasn't expecting a miracle but I got one.  I wish everyone suffering from an addiction could experience my success, it feels amazing. John you are outstanding and I can't thank you enough!! I thank you and my loved ones thank you also!! I can't say this enough John is AMAZING!!! Sarah C., Mapleville, RI”
 
I’ve been struggling with anxiety at work..
“I've been struggling with anxiety at work and it's been slowly breaking my heart to bits. Ive been dealing with this for a few months and decided I have to do something about it, because I just wasn't getting the right kind of help. I contacted John and he was so kind over the phone and I immediately felt like he understood my problems and listened. I made my appointment and I went for my session, I have to admit the bright office was...well..really bright, but it's part of the magic to come, I promise! After one week my anxiety is down and my confidence is up!  I'm a 42 year old intelligent, business woman and I strongly suggest you give this a try. Grace F., Providence, RI”
 
I am shocked John doesn’t have more yelp reviews!
“I'm shocked that John doesn't have more Yelp reviews. He is AMAZING! This man changed my life. I saw him several years ago at the advice of a friend when I was struggling with drinking and wanted to stop. My session with him totally changed my life. He is far more than your typical hypnotist. He is a self-described "coach" and in my opinion, the best therapist you could ask for. He is gentle, kind, insightful, thoughtful, and wise. It is obvious that he has had many years of experience in working with all kinds of people who struggle with a wide range of problems. As I write this, I can proudly say that I am four years sober, and his treatment, coupled with my involvement in a program of support, forever changed my life. I had a session with John today to work on another issue and I felt the same sense of gratitude to be working with him again. I HIGHLY recommend John and firmly believe that if he could help me at a very low point in my life, he can help anyone willing to make a positive change in their life. Meg W., Jamaica Plains, Massachusetts”
 
Within 3 months I was back earning $100,000 plus
“ "My income had fallen down from $100,000 annually to $50,000. I was in a slump. Within 3 months I am back earning $100,000 plus. What is more my confidence is restored and I look forward to going to work in the morning." Thomas T., Advertising Sales”
 
I was simply not able to make cold calls
“ "I was simply not able to make cold calls to convert for-sale-by-owner properties into listings. Now I do and I actually am beginning to love the game of cold calling just as John said. The income has just begun, but already I can see the future is limitless. I would recommend John to anyone. And I do." Daryl D., Real Estate Sales”
 
I give 70% of the credit to John
“"When I started with John Koenig six months ago, I was making $36,000 annually. The last 3 months I have earned more than $20,000 monthly in the same job with the same territory. 30% of the credit  goes to me.  I give 70% of the credit to John." Marcello D., Mortgage Brokerage Sales”
 
far less anxious worrying about my surgery
“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 amazing 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)”
 
Habit change – flossing regularly
“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 andproper 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)”
 
My insomnia is gone
“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)”
 
9 or 10 weeks SmokeFree and loving it
“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)”
 
I am simply amazed at the results
“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)”
 
If I was ever going to smoke again it would have been then….
“It has been a couple of weeks since our hypnosis sessions 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 friend's boyfriend of 8 years died suddenly May 9th of a heart attack. He had just turned 48.  His only vice 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.  Thank You Always, Susan S. (Franklin, Massachsetts)”
 
I am confident of being a non-smoker
“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). Thanks for your help. J.B. (Warwick, Rhode Island)”
 
I never thought I could quit
“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)”
 
The hypnosis worked wonders!
“The hypnosis 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)  
I saw a real and significant change in my confidence and ability to focus productively …
“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)  
Six months after hypnosis I now weigh 32 pounds less.
“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)  
My anxiety is greatly reduced after just a few hypnosis sessions.
“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)”
Mara Z. (Providence, Rhode Island)  
Who knew a phone hypnosis session would work so well?
“I want to thank you for your help.  I believe the session worked!  Who knew a phone session (*insert corect page link here) 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)  
I cannot thank you enough for helping make a major change in my life.
“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)  
I truly feel cured and am now a believer in the power of hypnosis.
“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)  
I am so glad that worked with you on my wedding anxiety.
“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  
You are an amazing “active listener”
“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)  
I just wanted to thank you for your help with my weight loss.
“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)  
You’ve helped me change my life and words can’t express how grateful I am.
“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.”
K. F. (East Greenwich, Rhode Island)  
Procrastination/lateness for work
“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)  
Removing my anxiety about the scale..
“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)  
My husband saw you for stress related issues in his stomach area
“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. ”
Betty S. Mattapoisett, MA  
An amazing experience. I am recommending your “ex-ecotomy” to everyone.
“An amazing experience. I am recommending your "ex-ecotomy" to everyone. The pain over the breakup feels less "fresh", more like it happened a long time ago. I feel more distant from the pain, i still think about it a lot but it doesn't hurt as much. I feel like the obsessive thoughts of him and what happened between us are less, less intrusive.”
Donna P., Coventry, Rhode Island  
I came to you over the summer for fear of flying hypnosis
“Aloha John, I came to you over the summer for fear of flying hypnosis and just wanted to let you know that I am writing this from Hawaii. I made it! I listened to the CD of our hypnosis session immediately upon takeoff of the 1st flight, and it helped tremendously. I had a few moments of anxiety. My husband is not a total believer as am I. Thank you....couldn't have done this without you!    ”
Alicia J (Foster, Rhode Island)  
I reached my goal weight of 195 pounds
“I reached my goal weight of 195 pounds this morning for a total weight loss of 33 pounds. I feel great and have stuck to a mainly plant based diet without wheat products. I'm very pleased with the results from hypnosis and I'm looking forward to my next session in August. Please use this message as a testimonial.”
