I came into this experience not knowing much about Hypnotherapy and was pleasantly surprised by the results I had. Peggy created a comfortable and relaxing environment in which I was able to enter a state of deep relaxation and subconsciously work through emotions and experiences that were negatively impacting me. Peggy is both professional and compassionate. The sessions were tailored to my personal situation and goals. I left every session feeling refreshed and lighter.

An amazing therapist. Highly recommended. Informative. Uses approaches grounded in evidence. Genuine. Relaxing. Instrumental in helping me work through my challenges.

I was nervous because I didn't know much about hypnotherapy and really didn't know what to expect. Each session was different and amazing! Learning to let my subconscious guide me to heal has been a fascinating process.

I had little understanding of hypnotherapy and was somewhat apprehensive about the process. Peggy’s knowledge and empathy, combined with her relaxed and calming approach, put me at ease. I had great success. I feel mentally stronger and can calmly guide myself to sleep at night. I would highly recommend Peggy Matchim for her knowledgeable, gentle and confident approach to Hypnotherapy services.

This introduction to hypnotherapy …has been a very positive experience that has generated reassurance, insight and emotional release. I can tell it has contributed to an overall 'lightening' in my moods during the last few months. If like me, you're very 'in your head', I heartily recommend letting Peggy help you past that part of yourself and into new and transformative relationships with your body, heart and the life you're living every day.

I would highly recommend Peggy as a Hypnotherapist. Her non-judgemental and welcoming approach will put you at ease right away.

I found myself really thinking about not reinforcing negative thoughts after my sessions with Peggy, and I still do. The effects have lasted, and I’m better for them.

I let go of negative feelings that I cannot control and do not serve me. The sessions helped me understand the emotions I was experiencing and why. I was able to enter a state of deep relaxation that left me feeling refreshed after each session, and I learned great relaxation techniques to practice at home as well.

I have spoke to a lot of people about my Hypnotherapy experience and feel it’s a very healthy way to deal with many mental health illnesses people experience in today’s world. I have struggled with anxiety for most of my adult life. I discovered some childhood trauma that had led to some of my relationship issues in adult life. I’m much better at responding to stressful situations without emotion and with control. I am now able to put in place healthy boundaries for my own mental health and my relationships are stronger.

Peggy’s approach to healing through Hypnotherapy has made a significant difference in my life. I tell friends and family all about how much better I am coping with anxiety, and how I don’t feel as overwhelmed as I did before working with her. I am better at recognizing the anxiety, and not letting it control me as much.
