Medical Testimonials...


About Surgery

I want to thank you, again, for teaching me to heal quickly and without pain, via self-hypnosis. During both my surgeries (facial surgery in 2006 and knee surgery in 2008), I had minimal discomfort, did not use pain medications, and was told by the surgeons that I had healed more quickly than most patients. I recommend your hypnosis sessions without reservation.
Marsha Kelly, Carmel, CA

"You go to the head of the class," proclaimed my Dr. as he examined me on a follow up visit for my cosmetic surgery. One of the reasons that I made the" promotion" was the fast rate of healing from my face surgery. We feel that it is due to the hypnotic healing tape Dr. Bee made for me. There is no doubt in either my mind or the surgeons that hypnosis definitely had a powerful impact. Listening to the tape on a consistent basis before surgery enabled me to go through surgery with ease, and accelerate the healing. Later I had neurosurgery on my neck, again with remarkable results.
Susan Tasner, Carmel, CA

"Thank you for making my surgery so easy. I had no fear at all and was relaxed before and during the two-hour surgery done with local anesthetic. I was surprised that there was no pain, either immediately after or during the next few days. Hypnosis is a very powerful tool to aid in surgery, both in attitude and pain. I can't thank you enough for your professional manner and skill.
Rosalind Enright, San Carlos, CA

My three and a half year-old daughter required surgery. Since she is a special needs child, the doctors were concerned about the procedure and possible complications. Dr. Bee (also grandma) hypnotized her the night before surgery. She was completely calm at the hospital before she went into surgery. I got a hypnotic script to read to her after coming out of surgery. She recovered very quickly. At her follow-up the doctor was very pleased that she healed so quickly without the complications he was concerned about. The hypnosis was very helpful. Nicole Kelly, Carmel, CA

"Your hypnosis was helpful to me because it enabled me to feel more calm and more in control of my emotions prior to surgery. Furthermore it helped me feel I as an active player in my own health concerns. And finally, according to the surgeon, the cyst appeared smaller than previously noted.
Karen Zedek, Kansas City MO

A few months ago I was scheduled for surgery, and since my body does not respond well to pain medications, I decided to talk to Dr Bee Epstein-Shepherd about trying hypnosis to aid my recovery both during and after the procedure. While I expected hypnotherapy to at least have some sort of positive effect, I was absolutely amazed by how well it really worked! Dr Bee made an audio tape for me to listen to starting a few days prior to the surgery, and then again on the morning just before I left for the hospital. The surgery itself went extremely well, but the part that really thrilled me was that I never experienced any post-operative pain or discomfort and never needed to use any of the meds that the doctor had prescribed for me. The actual healing process was completely seamless and I surprised both the doctor and myself with how quickly I recovered.

I would not hesitate to recommend hypnotherapy with Dr Bee Epstein-Shepherd to anyone going in for a surgical procedure. It far exceeded my expectations for a quick and easy recovery. Valerie Ramsey, Monterey, CA

 

Cancer

I wanted to let you know how much you helped me through my cancer journey. I have completed radiation, chemo and stem cell transplant and triumphantly state I am now in remission. Thanks to you I experienced all these issues without any pain medication. My doctors were quite impressed. The self-hypnosis you taught me was my comfort and strength.... Again, thank you very much.
Tamra Jennings Marver, Carmel

I have had a needle phobia since I was five years old. When I began chemotherapy, it got so bad I would vomit and pass out at the thought or sight of needles. People who have been providing my medical care say that what you did with hypnosis was a miracle. Working with you has changed my life. There is no way I can thank you enough, I will always be grateful. Every cancer patient should have the benefit of your work.

Other Medical

The difference in my life since our session is noticeable to those who know me well. My doctor even noticed a positive impact on my physical health. I am able to think and respond more clearly in both personal and professional settings. Theresa Rouse, Carmel Valley

Dr. Epstein-Shepherd's hypnosis-based program has dramatically relieved intense unremitting orthopedic pain which was debilitating my ability to function, to sleep and to "answer any bell" without massive discomfort and effort. Since receiving her hypnotic treatments and utilizing her tapes, I have been able to "answer all bells" -- both professional and personal.
Dr. Ralph Thomson, Salt Lake City, UT

Without Dr. Bee's expert hypnotism I would never have been able to undergo a serious medical test. I am very grateful.
Stefani Chaney, Carmel, CA.

"I am a forty-something year old woman who had been experiencing chronic sleep problems since my college years. Prior to meeting Dr. Bee Epstein-Shepherd, I had always dismissed the idea of hypnosis as a hoax. My mind was changed forever after attending only one informative group session with Bee. Following the first group session I spoke with Bee about my sleep difficulties. I had tried so many other doctors and programs for help, I figured I could not afford to pass up the opportunity to try anything that might work. I am delighted to report that each night since my private session, I have been enjoying the benefits of a full, restful night's sleep. My family, friends, co-workers and therapist all have noticed the remarkable change sleeping has made in my demeanor."
Sue Swoffer Ward, Huntington Beach, CA

 

Weight Control

"Thank you for your sessions. I have been feeling great. 10 lbs. lighter physically and about 100 lbs. lighter mentally--no problem with group talks."
Stephanie Morrell, Real Estate Broker, WA.

I feel more energy, vitality and lightness. The pounds are coming off easily and effortlessly. It feels so good. I also feel more grounded and relaxed.
Toni Bradshaw, Computer Resources Group

I want to thank you for your help in modifying my diet and improving my health with hypnosis. I reduced my cravings for sweets, and have eliminated my desire for unhealthy food. Because of this I lost 15 lbs which I have kept off over a year and lowered my cholesterol by almost 100 points. Thanks again for these results and I am sure you can help many people improve both their health and appearance.
