“Paul is a wonderful hypnotherapist who takes a unique and sustainable approach of teaching us to be self-practitioners through self-hypnosis and breath-work, coupled with having us play the sessions he curates and records. It’s truly a low-hurdle, low-effort, high-impact, longitudinal treatment that rewires our subconscious on a daily basis. He and the client are a team, working together to heal from all angles. Paul is highly effective at getting all types of people with different personalities, tendencies, and constitutions into a deep, relaxed, meditative state where the real work can take place! Thanks Paul for a great experience, and I’ll continue listening to the recordings and meditating for months (or years!) to come for long-lasting impact!” (A.P. Wellesley, MA)

“I wanted to start off this email by saying thank you. Going to hypnotherapy I never expected the results I received, and never expected the free feeling I would have now. My emetophobia is probably 85% gone, and it has absolutely changed my life.” (A.C. Duxbury, MA)
“I can say without doubt that you are a genius. The part of the session with the elevator was inspiring, and will allow me the flexibility to examine and adjust my feelings as they evolve over time, leading me to self-examination and awareness. It flowed naturally. Also, the music was well chosen. The musical tension matched the subject in a very timely fashion. I especially appreciate the part about self-reliance going forward. I am very satisfied, thank-you sincerely for your efforts.” (C.J. Arlington, MA)
“Thought you’d like an update about my cruise to Alaska. It was fantastic! I had such a great time with family, trying different things etc. Even the cookout party for my sister and 3rd-4th of July Booth went anxiety free. I wasn’t at all seasick! We went to 
dress up night in a very expensive restaurant on ship and we lingered after dinner no problem! I asked my daughters how they thought I did and they said they were very surprised I wasn’t seasick and went to every show in the theater and meals etc. Then I told them about your sessions. They were very impressed. You may have future clients lol. I will continue to listen to the tapes as often as I can to continue my progress to where I want to be.” (D.K. Chelmsford, MA)
“I had 3 sessions to help with my anxiety during the swim portion of Triathlons. This has plagued me for 3 years in every race I’ve competed in. I’ve read all the the magazine article I could find and tried all the tips and advice on how to deal with it but still had the same issues in every race. I’m happy to say I completed my first triathlon yesterday morning since our sessions with no issues at all. A thousand pound cinder block has been lifted off my back. Paul was a master at finding out what makes me tick and with his calm caring way he customized my sessions to match me! THANK YOU Paul for helping me with this!!!” (B.M. Sudbury, MA)
“February 4th I was invited to a BNI meeting. Guests were asked to get up and speak for about a minute about themselves. I got up and spoke briefly. Then a woman told me that she was surprised how comfortable I seemed in front of the large group. This hypnosis works! Thanks.” (K.L. Malden, MA)
“I feel like a different person. I enjoy my life much more now because the anxiety doesn’t get in the way. I feel hopeful about the future! Rich’s life is much better because he no longer sees me suffering every day.” (M.O. North Eastern, MA)
“I have had unexplained but very painful eye pain for over 4 years and have tried practically every modality and nothing was helping. The hypnosis is the first thing I’ve tried that is actually helping. What’s interesting is that I thought my eye pain was the first thing that would go away, but it was just a symptom of a larger problem, which was an inability to handle stress and set clear boundaries. I’ve noticed the difference in my ability to handle my life, and other people have as well. As for the eye pain– it’s gone from hurting all the time to more variable and I’m more aware now of what exacerbates it. I do believe that listening to my MP3’s 2x per day for the next few months will allow it to finally go away. Paul is friendly, safe, affordable and cares about people. I highly recommend Burlington Hypnosis.” (M.S. Brookline, MA)
“I passed! The 1st time I scored a 77 and the 2nd an 83. To pass I needed an 85. This time I scored 105 on the exam. I want to thank you so much and credit this score to your work. I did my tape in the car at the testing center, and could not have felt calmer during the exam. Thank you again for all of your help! I could not have addressed my test anxiety without your assistance, and I am so happy to head into the bar with this new sense of testing confidence.” (L.D. Reading, MA)
“Paul, you are a miracle worker!! Since we left your office a week ago, 10 yo Emily has been sleeping through the night in her own bed. She listens to the CD every night and goes right to sleep. She has even been waking up in the middle of the night, goes to the bathroom, and goes right back to sleep. It is heaven! I am so proud of her and the work she has done. I can’t thank you enough for guiding her through this. Thanks again!!” (L.P. Burlington, MA)
“I am in Florida for the winter and wanted to let you know that I had the best flight in years. It was a lot better than the flight to N. Carolina in October. I listened to your CD’s many times during the Fall before the flight and also brought a book to read. It has made me feel like I may be able to conquer this phobia I have. My next flight back will not be until mid-April.” (R.S. Arlington, MA)
“I went to Paul before Christmas of 2013 when I thought I would like to stop drinking. I chose Paul because of his great background. He is very professional and I felt comfortable with him from the start. I came away from each session feeling tranquil, encouraged and very proud of my decision to see Paul. I stuck with the program and did not have a drink for 7 months and will not get into that habit again. I just hosted Thanksgiving dinner and we served beer, wine, etc. but I did not have a drink and I did not have a desire to do so. Thank you Paul for your help, advice, and confidence in me while guiding me through this program. I am amazed and thankful and would recommend your program to others as it will change their life.” (M.D. Medford, MA)

“Things are going great! I’ve been listening to the sessions every night and as of this morning I’ve lost 21.2 pounds. I’ve been exercising in some form (gym and 
yard work). My first choice for foods are healthier ones, but even when I haven’t made the healthier choice, I find I just naturally eat less of it. I’ve been happy with a slow loss, 1-2 pounds a week, whereas in the past I would have been very disappointed and upset that is wasn’t coming off faster. I’ve been successful at only weighing myself once a week and have shifted my focus on how I feel and how my clothes feel.It all just feels natural. Food always had the upper hand in my life, giving the appearance of filling me both literally and emotionally, but then causing me regret and contempt for myself. Now it feels like food is just a part of my life, something that is necessary to fuel me, not soothe me. Meeting with you was the best thing that I have ever done for myself.” (J.A. Peabody, MA)
“Paul is the most talented hypnotherapist I have ever heard…and I went to a convention of them! I only wish I had half of his talent and his wonderfully relaxing presentation ability.” (K.S. Bedford, MA)
“I’m feeling great, free of guilt and alcohol. I haven’t felt this great and confident in a very long time!! It’s been three weeks and not one hangover. I can totally feel my cravings decrease.

I will continue to “push play once a day” and continue to feel great!” (T.M. Medford, MA)

“I went to Paul for 3 hypnotherapy sessions to improve my career confidence. He gave me CDs of each session provided for further practice. Paul was very supportive, understanding and professional. He took great care to make his office extremely comfortable to help the relaxation process. His voice is perfectly suited for hypnosis. I was skeptical at first but now highly recommend this.” (M.H. Tewksbury, MA)
“All is fantastic. I am working for a medical device company, traveling to different operating rooms training surgeons how to use our equipment. Can you believe it? Me in an operating room while there’s an operation going on??? I definitely had my moment of fear but I just remembered what you taught me. I am able to do things now I wouldn’t even dream of doing at that point in my life. I owe it all to you! ” (M.C. Woburn, MA)
“I would urge anyone unhappy with their weight to give Paul’s gastric band hypnosis program a try. I am grateful for Paul’s treatment, and it has given me an option I would never have 
believed could change me. I mindlessly ate gigantic portions of unhealthy foods for many years, now I mindfully make better, healthier, tasty food choices and eat smaller portions without feeling at all deprived or unsatisfied. To me it is just amazing. I can’t wait to see me a few months from now. I have to say, my doctor was very impressed with my weight loss. I am too.” (D.S. Watertown, MA)
“Thought I would let you know of another success story…..1 month smoke-free as of July 19. I struggled for a couple weeks but continued to listen to the CD’s and woke up June 19th and started my new chapter smoke-free with no hesitation. Yeah! Still using the CD’s and self-hypnosis and panic attacks decreased also. Thanks for helping me on my journey, I am very happy with my decision to come to you for help. thanks again!!!” (P.G. Billerica, MA)
“Paul helped me relax and slow down the pace of my life so that I could more easily strive for fitness and healthier eating. I’ve already lost 12 pounds and am on my way to more weight loss. My calmer frame of mind has helped me at work and with friends and family. I’m more selective about which “battles to pick” and let others know what’s important to me. I’m putting my happiness first. I’m more motivated to take charge of my life by using the tools I’ve learned. I’m more at peace and less compulsive in my behavior. I highly recommend hypnotherapy with Paul to anyone who compulsively eats or can’t sleep due to anxiety and the inability to relax. The CD’s he provides are invaluable for the reinforcement of thoughts the subconscious needs for a guided path to happiness.” (J.C. Wilmington. MA)
“Thank you for the role you played in helping my son address his panic attack issues. Over the past month, in addition to attending your sessions and listening to your tapes, he met with a therapist, completed five panic-attack books/tape/workbooks, and was prescribed short-term meds. He now has the tools necessary – especially positive self-talk, relaxation breathing and visualization – to successfully address future panic attacks. Please feel free to pass along this success story to future clients suffering from this same issue; it will provide hope.” (Anonymous Mom)

“My hypnosis sessions were very effective with issues I wanted to correct but I ended up getting much more out of the sessions then expected. Your voice, choice of words are articulate, soothing, to the point and pleasant to listen to. This is so different from the many relaxation and meditation CDs I have known. You offer an effective tool that can help a lot of people overcome various problems and I highly recommend you to anyone who is struggling with a seemingly irresolvable issue.” (D.L. Waltham, MA)
“My nighttime eating started up again 2 months ago and recently I decided I didn’t want it to ruin what I had already overcome, so I pulled out my CD sessions with you. What a difference.

I just wanted to share and to wish you happy holidays.” (N. M. Woburn, MA)

My dominant thoughts are no longer focused on overeating; rather I’m reminded to relax and to recognize my successes. Thanks again.” (N. M. Woburn, MA)

“Paul helped me more than any doctor or therapist that I’ve ever seen. I started smoking when I was 12. I smoked 2-3 packs a day, and never imagined that I would be able to stop.
