I truly had accepted the fact that I was headed towards an early death. I was 53, obese, diabetic, had high blood pressure and sleep apnea. I could not lose weight. I was being increasingly unhappy and was angry at everything and everyone. I had seriously lost my way. Then I was introduced to David Prudhomme at MederiWellness. Less than 2 months after being hypnotized by David, I had lost 40 pounds, without any extreme struggle. I previously experience with a life full of dieting. For the first time in many years I was able to walk in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure event. It was important to me to support my friend Kate, a recent breast cancer survivor. With David’s help, I now have the tools and the confidence to lose the weight and keep it off forever! My anger and unhappiness have diminished. Those who know me can’t believe the transformation. David partnered with me to help me overcome the obstacles that have plagued me my whole life. If you are reading this, I hope it means you may be considering hypnosis. I can’t help but wonder… Why would you continue to be overweight, kill yourself with cigarettes, endure chronic anxiety or be in constant pain when David has the answer to health and happiness? You are worth it. Take action. You won’t be sorry. Davis is compassionate, extremely knowledgeable and committed to helping people change their lives. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to work with David Prudhomme and Ruth Schneider at. Mederi Wellness. I love them both and you will too!, -- Judy Dushane

At First I was a little skeptical since I’ve never been hypnotized before. I did have a lot of questions. David put me at ease and explained everything in detail. During the first session we discovered that I had a lot of emotional baggage which was keeping me from reaching my goal. Suggesting four sessions instead of two, so we could work on those issues along with the weight issues was great. Between the first and second sessions my eating habits changed and I was more relaxed and sleeping better. By the end of the third session,”WOW”. Releasing all of that emotional baggage was great! Some of my friends have notice a change my attitude and my clothes are starting to fit looser. To be able to feel this incredible in just 4-5 weeks is amazing. Recommending the 4 sessions was a great idea. I never once felt like I was being rushed or just a number. The whole experience was very rewarding. I normally don’t waste money on buying the newspaper. However, I’m very grateful for being led to the newspaper the day I read about David and Mederi Wellness. Good luck to everyone and put yours at ease.” Just Do It”!, -- Giovanni Bendetta

My husband knew after one session that it was working. The “desert queen” gave away her favorite cheesecake. Then we went grocery shopping and when I walked past the day old baked goods rack and never even stopped, he knew I had made the right choice when I signed up for the sessions. After the second session I learned it is a life altering decision. And this was reinforced when I had absolute no desire to eat any of the Halloween candy I had purchased for the “trick or treaters”, and I had brought all my favorites. Today we went to the buffet at the Elks and there were at least 10 fabulous desserts and I ate fresh pineapple and grapes. My husband says I have eaten more fruit and vegetables in the last two weeks than I ate in the 19 years we have been married. My hips and leg pain is doing much better and the walking and breathing exercises are a big help. The weight I lost is wonderful but, I also feel great!, -- Kaye Howerth

“Hi David, I want to thank you for the time I spent with you using hypnosis. It’s had a very positive result on my life. I am losing weight as promised, but I am also finding that I can control more things without really struggling; it seems to come more naturally. I find it to be more calming and it helps to keep me more grounded”., -- Donna

My goal was to have David help increase my willpower, but that is not what happened. This experience is so much more than one more tool in my weight loss tool belt. It has been the best thing I have ever done for myself! I didn’t need to focus, what I needed was to see the pattern of eating when I wasn’t hungry and selecting unhealthy foods was sapping me of energy and putting my health in danger. Through placing suggestions into my subconscious mind, I now no longer crave sugar; Actually, I think processed food taste bad. I want to move my body…not because it is “good” for me, or is an important element in losing weight, but because I like the feeling I get when I exercise. I feel incredible and I am so proud of myself for putting in place lifestyle changes that will allow me to live a disease free, longer life…one with purpose. It has been incredibly easy for me to eat more slowly, choose lean meats, fruits and vegetables and only eat when I feel hungry. David has been the conduit for these changes and I look forward to discovering deeper insights., -- Laura

I went to Mederi Wellness for help with my weight after I witness the success of another client. I had a very positive experience. I learned that true motivation comes from within but, I needed to resolved anger and frustration issues. Through relaxation I was able to make the necessary habit changes. I now deal with my stress in a positive manner and the weight is coming off. I feel better, I sleep better and I have no cravings that sabotaged my previous weight loss attempts. I truly appreciate Mr. Prudhomme’s knowledge and professionalism. I now understand how every new journey begins with a small step. I encourage you to take that step with David Prudhomme at Mederi Wellness., -- Connie L. Cedoz

Update: 1/14/10 Larry has lost 30 pounds and I have lost 24-1/2 pounds. Yes, I claim every part of a pound. It has been easy for both of us and our change in eating healthy has become a way of life. I can’t tell you how much better we each feel and the energy that we now have. My sugar numbers have improved tremendously. I am only taking ½ a pill each day compared to 3 back the end of July. Our doctor is very impressed with the weight loss for both Larry and me. I don’t have a “certain weight number” that I want to reach. My goal is to get off most medications and just feel good about myself. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for assisting us to achieve our goals. From the beginning we felt that you sincerely cared about us and wanted us to reach our goals. We are a work in progress, but inching closer every day., -- Nancy Koverman

It’s working! I still have the occasional piece of chocolate, but it never tastes as good as I think it will. So, I don’t eat anymore. I’ve also stopped 99% of my evening food binges, because I finally realize it is a coping thing. I actually don’t have much of an appetite lately. I couldn’t each much before my mother died because of the stress, but I just never eating much afterwards. I am under 140# now and still slowly losing. Thank you!!, -- Julie

Dear David, I want to tell you how thankful that I am that I came to see you. I am losing weight and have more energy now. I am also drinking more water (which I always had a problem with). My blood pressure is around 121/59 and I had my cholesterol checked, the total number dropped 25 points and the bad cholesterol had dropped 23 points. Thank you so much for helping me gets in control of my life., -- Arlene Reinertsen

I just wanted to say “Thank You” for helping me to gain control over my eating habits! I’ve spent a good part of my life trying to control my weight through dieting. I would always make progress and eventually reach my goal weight. Then, either out of boredom with the diet or because of stress, I would slowly go back to my old eating habits and wind up where I started. My will power was never strong enough to change my behavior for good. Two years ago, I also experienced two very difficult life events which left me with low self confidence, a feeling of powerlessness and a lack of energy for life. Through hypnosis addressing weight loss and stress/ anxiety I feel like a new person. I’ve lost 10 pounds so far without dieting. I have no desire to eat those “problem foods” or to snack. I feel more energetic, positive and happy. I feel like a different person from the one I was a few months ago! Thanks again for your help!, -- Silvia Teffner

After years of dieting with little or no success, a friend of mine told me about his experience with Mederi Wellness. I talked about this with a few other friends and found they too had some success with hypnosis for other issues, and I was encouraged even more. Then I viewed your web site, I decided that the cost was far less than all the diets I tried. I had the desire and together we worked a plan. Fantastic – that’s how I feel- lost 10 pounds in 4 weeks. I’ve had no bread, pasta, pop, cake, cookies, candy, pie, ice cream, etc. and absolutely no desire for it. I exercise daily, drink water regularly and eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. I carry fruit and water with me every day in my real estate travels., -- Jackie Meinke

David, I have written-rewritten and edited this many times. Probably from about 4 pages. I am doing well am sure I will remain that way. I had to go back to somewhat scheduled meals. Just eating when hungry works, but a little bit too well. My body can not adjust to weight “just falling off”. It is too fast and I am now aiming for 2 pounds a week. I am considering coming back after the first of the year and continuing with more therapy. Thank you, thank you, and thank you for all you have done., -- Leslie

When I came to Mederi Wellness, I had gone through all the insurance prerequisites to have gastric bypass. I was 140 pounds overweight & had been overweight my entire life- 46 years. David & hypnosis weren’t my last resort. I really didn’t have much hope it would actually work. I came because I would have asked myself forever- “what if hypnosis HAD worked”? I had to overturn one last stone before the surgery. That first session was fewer than four months ago. I’ve lost 40 pounds, absolutely effortlessly. I now eat only when I’m hungry & I eat healthier foods than ever before. As someone who recently went through breast cancer- including double mastectomy, chemo, radiation, & reconstruction- it was very important to me to let go of high sugar & high fat processed foods. In my mind, healthier eating was the key to long term survival without recurrence- yet I still couldn’t make myself eat healthier. After one session, three short hours with David, I was completely changed. Absolutely no more need to binge or eat sugar & fat. No cravings for comfort food. The weight has steadily come off. I’ve never felt deprived. And I’m more relaxed & happier, more confident than ever before. The bypass surgery has been cancelled. I don’t need it. The experience of hypnosis was so pleasant & so successful that I soon brought a list to David of my other frustrations. We worked together to heal my past & help me move confidently into the future. I cannot tell you the many ways this has affected my life- I’m happier, I’ve gotten a promotion at work, I have more energy, I’m getting more done- it’s amazing. I would recommend anyone to try hypnosis. I had nothing to lose, except weight, & I’ve gained so much more than I ever anticipated., -- Kate Whitmore

“Dear David, I came to you to lose weight. Through hypnosis you helped me eliminate the things that triggered my overeating. Gone are the anxiety, stress, loneliness, low self esteem and shame. You helped me find forgiveness and self-confidence and I now feel a glow about myself with peace, happiness, love and contentment. I’m excited for each day and have new energy. I’m eating healthier and getting thin. Thank you. You have done more for me than any counselor or psychologist.”, -- Jane Lambert

Thank you for all you have done to help me realize my goals. I came, first, to hear your seminar at Magruder Hospital and it was so fascinated I made my appointment before I ever left. I have tried diet after diet and just could not lose the weight. After our first session, in the three months that followed I lost 25-30 pounds. Never have I lost like that before. So, I decided if that worked how about the ability to quit smoking. I came in for another session and you took me to a place I never knew existed, a spiritual place that was so beautiful, that it is so hard to describe, but it is my place. A peaceful place, a cleansing place, a safe place! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have shown me. I no longer desire or even think about smoking. I am free of it for life and feel healthier for it. I am on track and in control of what I want to put in my body, for the first time in my life I feel “I AM IN CONTROL”! You taught me to believe in myself and that my body is a temple and that only I can control what I do and what I put into it. I enjoy walking everyday at least 1-2 miles and exercise 4-5 nights a week. Thank You., -- Wendy Holder

You have changed my life considerably. After having 2 sessions with you I am a new person. Before I had no energy, always looking to lay down taking a nap, putting jobs off until later. I now don’t think of a nap and the jobs get done with my new energy. I sleep well at night and get up with a great attitude. My clothes are fitting better and my fingernails are growing. Thank you so much!! I feel great!, -- Colleen Goodfellow

Dear David, I’m so glad that I saw your advertisement in the “Beacon” newspaper for your seminar on Hypnosis. I can’t believe that in three weeks I have lost 10 pounds. I found it very easy to lose and I have a lot more energy. I go to “Curves” three times a week and walk at least ½-1 mile each day. More importantly is the difference it has made in my diabetes. My goal was to reduce my medication in four to six months. My numbers went down significantly in just three weeks and I was able to reduce my medication. Thank you so much for your help and encouragement. It has changed my life., -- Nancy Koverman

It was one month ago and I have lost 17 pounds. I feel much better and have more energy because I’m eating healthy. No decisions when I go to the grocery store. I know what healthy foods I’m going to buy. Grocery shopping is much easier. My blood pressure dosage has been cut down and I’m hopeful eventually I will not have to take blood pressure or cholesterol medicine. I’m so grateful I heard about you. Thank you., -- Joy

David, I want to thank you for helping me with something I’ve struggled with for years, weight loss. This was far the easiest approach to weight loss that I have ever done. I immediately started noticing a change in my eating habits and that I easily had control over my choices. I could see and smell something cooking that I have always loved, and have absolutely no desire to even take a small taste. How awesome is that? I manage to get through the loss of my Dad and the normal eating temptations of Thanksgiving & Christmas without a problem. The biggest reason that I decide to try the hypnosis, was my health. I have Pulmonary Hypertension, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, knee and back problems and I am on oxygen 24/7. I have a good chance of becoming a diabetic, with being overweight, and both of my parents being diabetic. With all my health problems, I am unable to exercise. I had my hypnosis on Oct.13, 2009, and by my doctor appointment in Feb.2010 I had lost 50lbs. All of my doctors have been really impressed with my weight loss, knowing that it was all done without any exercise. They all told me to keep up the good work. I told them it isn’t work at all., -- Shelly Sanderson

Hypnosis is amazing and I’m sure that you already know this. That is why you do what you do. When I first came to you I was unsure at what to expect. What I’ve seen and heard about hypnosis is misleading. But, after my first session I was changed forever. I took back control of my eating habits and I’m free from the monster that had a hold of me. For this alone I thank you. I’m amazed every day by the choices that I make. Amazing, amazing, amazing! I can’t say it enough and I want more of this- this is for me. This is helping me find me – amazing. Not only Am I losing weight, but I’m calmer, less stress, less angry, less worried and so on. My sleep has improved tremendously and I feel great to sleep well. I feel better every day and my life is great and I am well. Thank you again., -- Tim Sutherland

Update: 2/15/2010 Even since our last session, I have felt a sense of inner peace –an inner peace that I haven’t felt in many years. I feel calm, happy, content, and I no longer feel anger towards those who hurt me. I realize that in forgiving them, I have released myself from the ropes that tied me to them and to that awful time in my life. I can look forward now and move on. I’ve even surprised myself with my new found calm. A few days after our session, I met with probably the most uncooperative, abrasive and angry parent that I have ever met in my career as a counselor. Her son had been asked to leave a private school because of failing grades and she came in to register him in our school-“loaded for bear”. The old me would have reacted to her nasty disposition with frustration and I would have gotten angry myself. When she started making unrealistic demands, I stopped, breathed, and handled the situation. A colleague who was also in the meeting later said to me, “I can’t believe the way you handled her. You stayed calm and ‘even-keel’ through the whole meeting. I never saw you get angry or react to her ranting”. Today, I took a 4 mile hike at East Harbor State Park. It was absolutely beautiful and at times you could hear the quiet! I saw cardinals, chickadees, seagulls, swans. I smelled the freshness in the cold air. I heard the rustling of the dried leaves that had never fallen off of the trees. I experience the beauty of all that was around me in a way that I haven’t in a long, long time-completely at peace with myself and the world—just being—and did it ever feel great! I can’t thank you enough for helping me to find that inner peace! Namaste, -- Silvia Tefner
