Weight Loss
“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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
“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
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
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
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
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

Stress Less
I want to take this opportunity to tell you how wonderful this experience was for each of us. I did not know what to expect when I signed up for the hypnotherapy sessions. It exceeded any and all of my expectations. The session itself was a fabulous experience. I “awoke” from the hypnosis feeling refreshed and relaxed. My friends and I went to bed at 3:00am that evening. I haven’t done that in years!!! The primary issue I wanted to focus on was weight loss. Since I met you, I find myself eating only when I am hungry and choosing healthier options. I know there are people who may think this is not possible, but I am living proof. It has only been a few weeks, but so far-so-good!, -- Traci Higdon
I came to David with a deep stress/anxiety issue that stemmed from my childhood. With David’s help I was able to release more personal pain and issues in just 2 sessions, and then I could in years of talk therapy. I literally felt lighter when I left the office. Your calming voice walked me through my hypnosis and the total experience was phenomenal. The end results have been lasting and I expect will be life-long. I can’t thank you enough for the release of pain associated with all that baggage. I no longer carry the weight of those problems and it is truly a blessing! With sincere Gratitude:, -- Sue Groscost
Dear David, I entered the Mederi Wellness Center with an open mind and expectations that I would gain some relief from emotional baggage I been lugging around for years, as well as the daily stresses of a busy life. This has happened to me, but the relief and peace of mind I have regained has exceeded anything I had hoped for. I am happier, calmer, and more peaceful than I have been in years. Gone are the constant nagging messages that ran around in my mind, and therefore ran me. Everything is better! My job, my outlook on life and the future, my feelings about myself, my relationships, everything! I can relax! Working with you is awesome. You have created comfortable, and safe environment allowing me to let go and do the work (we) need to. After decades of talk and pharmaceutical therapy, I have found peace of mind, understanding, and forgiveness I have been searching for. I really can’t thank you enough.”, -- Kim Williamsen
“Dear David, I want to truly Thank You! I came to you for relief from stress, and what I didn’t realize was how much stress I was under. After talking with you, I felt a certain amount of relief, but after the Hypnosis Session –WOW! Immediate relaxation set in. My sleep pattern has improved, my mood and overall demeanor is unlike I have ever experience. A week later on the follow-up session what a difference, I felt like a new person. You have helped me to put myself “first”. Thank You! You are truly sincere about what you do. I appreciate all that you have done”., -- Jo Kopchak
“Dear David, before I became a client, I was pretty overwhelmed, “hurry-up cyber-living was my never-ending hamster wheel. I had moved from stressed into distressed, even my face muscles were sore! Thanks for helping me reclaim my strengths by teaching me how to step off the wheel and rejuvenate my own self. Now when I feel my shoulder rise up with stress; they move back into relaxed posture without a second thought. I am sleeping better, laughing more, and putting myself near the top of my to do list. I look forward to my daily routines with warm anticipation for serving others, again. Thanks, David! I appreciated your thoughtful suggestions and personalized program. I am enjoying quality in my life, again.”, -- Julie Pope-Dunham
The first day I stepped into your beautiful reception room, I couldn’t have been more terrified. It was the last place I thought I would ever be! Many movies and media portrayed a hypnotist as some sort of evil character, wanting to control your mind and make you do bizarre things. How wrong that is. You greeted me with a big smile and assured me after our first session that day I would feel better. After just an hour, you brought to the surface my innermost fears and the cause of my negative reaction to most situations. While under hypnosis (which was so easy) I went into my past, even as far back as a baby. A particular scene when I was 2 revealed the start of my mistrust and fear of rejection. This feeling increased as I grew older and has affected my whole life. You taught me how to forgive and understand why people react as they do. Most times our loved ones don’t realize they have hurt us and have no idea how many our lives have been changed by their actions. The breathing exercises, thanking God for what I have, drinking water (often), and eating proper foods to help me lose weight, walking everyday and having a positive attitude have changed my life in a way I couldn’t have imagine. The weights have been lifted from my heavy heart and I will be forever grateful!, -- Anonymous
I was hypnotized 24 years ago to quit smoking; the change was immediate and lasting. I didn’t know all the ways hypo-therapy could be used until I attended your presentation. You explained how hypnosis worked and your presentation was factual and intriguing. I scheduled an appointment and came looking for a miracle, and I was not disappointed, in fact the changes in me have far exceeded my expectations. Looking back, I know I didn’t realize fully how stressed I had become and how it was affecting every part of my life. I now live in a state of calmness. I am in control of myself and my emotions. My family and friends have notice the changes, they see the outward signs of a profound inward change that has taken place. I can honestly say that all of the relationships that are important to me have improved and a very important one has been healed. I didn’t think that was possible and I sincerely thank you for helping me. Soups, salads, fruits, vegetables, lean meats and nuts. It sounded like a great plan, but I didn’t know how this could work for me. I love to cook, my family loves to eat and food is an important part of all family events. This life-style change with your help was easy and painless! I have lost weight and exercise daily. I feel healthier than I have in years. I no longer live to eat, I eat to live healthy! I truly appreciated your patience, kindness and the time you spent teaching me how hypnosis works. The words I often here really cannot convey how grateful I am for all that I have received. David you are a gifted therapist with a sincere heart for helping people., -- JoAnn Dottore
I was going down a path, it was sunny and bright and everything was looking good, but before I knew it, I was walking in thick brush. It continued to get thicker and thicker. I tried to turn around and I would see patches of sunshine here and there, which would give me hope to find my way back to the path, but then before I knew it I was stuck in a thorny thicket and it hurt! I sat down, not knowing if I had the strength to look for my sunny path any longer. That’s when I heard a gentle, soothing voice. I was apprehensive at first, but I looked at where I was at and definitely didn’t want to stay here any longer. So I listened to the voice and it drew me out of that dark, draining, sad place. In what seemed like an instant I was back on my bright, sunny path. But, this time it was different. I had a backpack full of tools and along with the tools, I had peace, calm, and hope. I took a long breath in, breathing in love, happiness and forgiveness. I let a long breath out, letting go of fear, worry and loneliness. The path was clear. I now walk with confidence and a smile on my face, and if doubt should creep in I have my bag of tools, so lovingly given to me to help me on my way., -- Laurie Sutherland
My first exposure to you was at a seminar explaining what hypnosis therapy is all about. I knew right away you were someone that I could trust and had the ability to help me. The sessions were somewhat painful, because visiting suppressed bad memories. But, I will be forever grateful to you for taking me on these journeys and helping me dispel my personal demons. Thank you very much for everything you have done for me., -- Leslie Warnke
I came to Mederi Wellness in search of some relief for stress and anxiety that I was feeling. I had become so consumed in trying to get everything done perfectly that I forgot how to enjoy everyday life. After completing a series of sessions, I can’t thank you enough for helping me take back control of my emotions and reclaiming that “calmness in my life”. I don’t remember the last times I have slept as well as I do now. Most importantly thank you, thank you for teaching me how not to worry about the future and things I can’t control and enjoy and really live life in the present!, -- Erika Joy
As a teenager, I was a victim of rape. I was unable to cope or deal with the act that changed my life. I lost my self esteem and confidence. I was afraid, angry and tried my best to pretend that it never happened. Fear had me on guard all the time. I was imprisoned by the fear. I was afraid to trust. My anxiety, depression and poor self esteem were all becoming my future. I came to Mederi Wellness and David Prudhomme as a chance to reclaim my life. I needed to regain control and implement change, but how? What would the consequences be? I had so much fear and so much doubt on my first visit. I was embassassed and uncomfortable at the recognition of my weakness and lack of control. All I have ever done was judge I. I desperately needed peace of mind, but I did not want to relive the past. Dave and I spoke of letting go and forgiveness. I understood that holding on to anger did not make me feel better or give anything back to me. I was desperate to regain control of my life. I needed to reclaim myself. Forgiving doesn’t mean condoning an act or behavior. I had to let go of the idea that I could control other people. Forgiving meant that I would no longer live in a fearful past. I had to forgive to facilitate a positive change. By forgiving yourself and others you can move on. I could never have accomplished this without your help. Hypnosis helped with the transformation. I made a change that healed my heart and changed my life. I encourage anyone with a similar situation to try hypnosis with David Prudhomme. The rest of your life waits., -- Anonymous
Before I went to see Dave, I was completely stressed out. I was always yelling at my kids, getting wound up about things that I have no control over, and just feeling overwhelmed. Dave helped to get back in control by teaching me how to breathe and focus. I have begun to make my home a classroom where I teach my children instead of a battleground where I yell at them all of the time. Stress can have so many negative effects on a person’s body and mind. I am thankful that Dave has helped me to gain control over the stress in my life so that I can overcome the negative effects it was having on my life., -- Suzi
“Dear David, I cannot even begin to put into words how thankful I am for all that you are doing for me! I tried so many different things in the past, but none of them have given me the peace of mind you have given me in just a few sessions. Not only have you relieved my anxiety, especially concerning my former fear of flying, but you have also enabled me to relax my mind and body for the first time in years. I’m more energetic. I sleep like a baby and I found that adventurous spirit again that I thought I’d lost forever. You truly have a gift from God-thank you for using it to help others!”, -- Laurie Kruse
“Thank the Lord for David! He has helped me so much with my anxiety and pain management for my back and leg. It’s fun to get up in the morning to face the day.”, -- Eloise Evans
I have always been fascinated with the study of the mind. After I attended one of your seminars, I was sure you would help me learn to relax. I have never tried hypnosis. Not only did I learn how to relax, but you taught me how to breathe throughout the day to stay relaxed. I also asked you to help me with craving, especially sweets. I was amazed how quickly the craving disappeared, and after only one session. I enjoyed my appointments with you and continue to use the techniques you taught me. Thank you so much for helping me and for your dedication to helping people., -- Kathy Joy
For as long as I can remember, I have struggled with anxiety and depression. I tried psychotherapy, energy medicine, medication, and amassed a huge library of self-help books and CDs. None of these things worked, not even the antidepressants, which only made me ill. After only one hypnosis session, I immediately felt a transformation, physically and emotionally. It was as if a thousand pounds have been lifted from me. I didn’t realize how profoundly my emotional state was affecting my physical well-being until was hypnotized. My energy level has increased a thousand- fold. I have started exercising every day and my mood is much lighter and happier. I smile and laugh more now, and people are drawn to my positive energy and happiness. Had I known the path to happiness was so fun and effortless, I would have done it years ago. Thank you, David, for changing my life by guiding me to the true path to happiness. I would recommend hypnosis to anyone who suffers from depression, or any other malady they can’t seem to conquer. Thanks again for all your help and guidance!, -- Stephanie Mortus

Stop Smoking
I am so glad I attended your seminar; it made me understand so much about how our brains work. I had smoked for 40 years and tried everything, now I am finally a non-smoker and feel as if I had never smoked before. You helped me with anxiety and anger. Today I am a better person than I have been for years. I am also losing weight at the same time. I recommend anyone to go to David; he will help you in a lot of ways., -- Marty
YES, it’s true. I’m a non smoker. I was smoking 2 &1/2 packs a day. I tried to quit smoking several times with medication, but it only made me feel tired and depressed, and I was only able to cut back on smoking not quit. Then my doctor suggested alternative methods to quit smoking. I called the number and spoke with David, he was very confident that I would walk out a non-smoker. I thought on it for a couple of weeks, and then set up my appointment. I am proud to say I have been a non-smoker since 3/12/2009. Thanks to David Prudhomme and hypnosis I couldn’t have done it without him. Thank You!, -- Jody A
Dear David, I came to you to stop smoking and also for anxiety. I would like the world to know how much you have helped me, I am no longer a smoker, no urges to smoke, no anxiety. I feel WONDERFUL! I am in control of my life for the first time in years. This has been the most rewarding experience and so unlike what I expected. David you are awesome!! There are no adequate words to describe how much I appreciate what you have helped me to become. A NEW NON-SMOKER, RELAXED, ANXIETY FREE, HAPPY AND ALL WITHOUT TAKING ANY MEDICINE., -- Wanda Keller
“For the past 45 years, I have smoked 1-2 packs of cigarettes a day. I tried EVERYTHING to quit many times. After only one hypnosis session with David Prudhomme I am now a non-smoker. There have been no cravings and no anxious moments. I am now in control of my life. Thank you, Dave.”, -- Ed Verkin, Former Federal Agent
“Thank you David. On August 20, 2008, I came to you so I could stop smoking and it has been a year for me and I feel so good. Each day gets even better for me. I don’t have any urges to smoke and I’m sleeping so good at night. I thank you.”, -- Dorothy Jennings
“David—I thought I would be a hard nut to crack when it came to quitting smoking. I smoked for 37 years. I was tired of cigarettes controlling my life. I couldn’t sleep more than 1-2 hours at a time, my hair and my clothes smelled, my car smelled and I had this stupid little monkey on my back!! I tried many times to quit smoking. I attending a group hypnosis session; I tried the nicotine patch and attempted cold turkey. Nothing worked. Nothing until I met David Prudhomme. I recently was quite sick with a bronchial infection and I really difficult time breathing. I was scared. I thought “if this is what it feels like to die of lung cancer, I don’t want any part of it.” I made the most important phone call of my life. My session with David was the most relaxing, easy and effortless way to put a stop to my addiction. I finally got that little monkey off my back and took control of my life. I find that I have so much energy and time, I sleep more soundly and when I wake up I am much more rested. I am happier and it feels good to be in control again. I do not have the urge to smoke and I can be around people who do smoke and it doesn’t bother me. The smell of the smoke actually stinks and it reassures me that I made the right decision to take back my life as a non-smoker. I can’t thank David enough. If I can do this, anybody can! Thank you, David for helping me.”, -- Bev Krofft
Update: I still feel good. And when I sleep at night I do sleep great. Also, I did not know that when I was smoking that it had something to do with my sleep. I get 7-8 hours and when I get up I feel that I had a good night rest and that is good. Thank you, you deserve it., -- Dorothy Jennings
I have had problems with not being able to quit smoking and being overweight for several years. Now thanks to David Prudhomme and hypnosis, my life is healthier as a non-smoker and I am working on losing weight., -- Trudy Conte

Sleep Better
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank David Prudhomme and his practice MederiWellness for helping me with insomnia. I have been pleased with the results and am pleasantly surprised how hypnosis is helpful in many other areas of my overall well-being. I recommend David Prudhomme to anyone who would like to improve their lives, change habits or, in my case, improve sleep.”, -- Tally Gallagly
“David, I want to thank you for helping cure my insomnia. Prior to becoming a client, I was experiencing 2-3 nightmares a week. I would spend half the night trying to fall asleep, only to wake up a short time later kicking or screaming from a nightmare. Countless months of talk therapy failed to provide the relief that you gave me within the matter of a few weeks. I was amazed that my nightmares ceased after just one session. I am now falling asleep faster, the nightmares have stopped and I have more energy during the day. The additional work that we did together has greatly reduced my stress level and the associated muscle spasms that I endured for years. I can’t thank you enough.”, -- Rick

Healthy Relationships
After my initial sessions to reduce stress, David suggested my husband and I take the Myers Briggs test. During a meeting with myself and my husband, David and Ruth went over each bit of information in the report, explaining every facet of our personalities. We learned why we think the way we do, why we react to problems and situations and each other the way we do. Little things that once were annoying, now with a better understanding of ourselves and each other, have disappeared, my husband and I agree that our marriage has improved with the knowledge we gained from the test. A better relationship with my husband was not all that I gained. I learned why I react in social situations the way I do, how I solve problems, where my energy comes from, and how others see me. The report includes suggestions as well, these have been very helpful in my ongoing quest for a calm and stress free life. I have used the suggestions and my personal and workplace relationships have all improved. David and Ruth are a perfect team, they know each other very well, no doubt they have read each other’s MBTI! As they went through the results with us, taking turns sharing their insights, we could see our personality strengths and weaknesses individually and as a couple. There was plenty of time for questions, they were answered thoughtfully and in detail. I appreciated the humor they seemed to inject at just the right moment as we looked, for what seemed like the first time, at why we are who we are. I cannot think of anyone who would not benefit from this process. Truly understanding who you are, why you think the way you do and how you relate to the people around you is invaluable information that will help anyone achieve a calm, less stressful, more productive and happier life., -- Jo Ann
I have been the primary caretaker for my elderly father for years. My sister just left it all up to me and I resented it. Now I realize that I am perfectly suited to care for him and that she has none of the skills needed. Now I feel grateful for all of us that I am able to step up and take care of him. I can now look forward to my time with him again. I also now recognize that my sister does many other things I am not equipped to do., -- JoAnn
The MBTI session saved my marriage! Now I remember why I love my husband. I had been so frustrated with him and nagging him to be more like me. Now I understand what we each do best. WOW! Thank you so much!, -- Bonita
I never could understand why my husband wants to stay home all the time. Now I see that when he is tired he needs to be by himself to recharge. Instead of feeling neglected and hurt, I now just use the time to do other things., -- Penny
If only I had known this years ago, how different my daughter’s life would have been. I had no idea that she was wired so differently from me. All these years I’ve been trying to teach her how to do things my way and she never seemed to catch on. Now I understand why! Every parent should understand what I learned here today., -- Jean
Many years ago I took a personality test for a job I applied for, the company did not share the results with me but did say that I was just the person they were looking for, someone who would look after the others in the office, sort of an “office mom” (their words) and create activities to reduce stress and build relationships along with my other duties. The job was a good fit and I enjoyed my time there that was my first experience with a personality test. Fast 20+ years to David Prudhomme and Mederi Wellness. After my initial sessions to reduce stress. David suggested that my husband and I take the Myers Briggs test. The test took about 30 minutes. The report prepared by Ruth Schneider was amazingly detailed and many pages long! What happened next? A meeting with David and Ruth with myself and my husband to review the information. David and Ruth went over each bit of information in the report, explaining every facet of our personalities. We learned why we think the way we do, why we react to problems and situations and each other the way we do. Little things that once were annoying, now with a better understanding of ourselves and each other, have disappeared, my husband and I agree that our marriage has imp proved with the knowledge we gained from the test.

Overcoming Fear
For more than thirty years, my fears of height had gradually excluded me from scenic views. Riding on elevators and escalators, crossing bridges and standing on balconies had become increasingly gripping and nerve racking. Seeking David Prudhomme assistance through hypnosis had granted me a new freeing perspective on life. Amazingly, one session enabled me to overcome a fear that has haunted me for years., -- Bonnie Elias

Pain Management
I’ve had migraines for over 15 years. They lasted 3-10 days. I saw my family doctor, a neurologist; I went to the Cleveland Clinic. I’ve had CT’s scans, EEGS, massages-(cranial sacral), acupuncture, allergy test. I’ve search so long for an answer. I’ve taken all the medications and it goes on forever. I never plan a vacation- I might have a migraine. I cancel or turn down invitations to parties because I might or do have a migraine. I missed a funeral of a much closed friend because I couldn’t get out of bed. I missed taking my son to college because I couldn’t get out of bed. And then last week I had my first session with David. It was the day of the funeral that I missed and my son had to drive me to the appointment. I couldn’t even see to fill out the paper work; my son had to do it. On a 0-10 scale of pain the migraine had settled to an 8. David helped me to a “0”!!! This week I feel free. Things aren’t getting to me as they had in the past. I feel detached from everyone’s “drama” & I feel happier. I feel cleaner. Oh, I used to take anti-depressants for years until I could no longer take the side effects. I quit about 2 years ago, but kept thinking I might need them again…not if I feel this good! Chronic pain takes your life away – I’m ready to plan my vacation!, -- Laurie Allison
I have Multiple Sclerosis and have suffered from trigeminal neuralgia (sever pain on the right side of my face) for the past 3 years. The condition felt like I was chewing on razorblades and required me to be on 4 pains pills each day. The pain pills caused me to sleep on and off for 10 hours during the day. After learning that hypnosis works well to control pain, I decided to work with David Prudhomme. After the first session, I experience relief from my pain, and I have been able to stop my pain medication. I am now 99% pain free and can easily turn off the pain when it returns. Everything in my life is better and I am even sleeping better., -- Fred Genzman
“My migraines are completely gone after just one session. I am sleeping better and I feel wonderful. David, you have a gift that you extend to others. You showed me how to rid my body of pain and headaches, and improve myself. I feel more confidence about myself and there is a great peace inside of me. I feel so blessed, so relaxed, and there is so much joy inside of me that I did not know could be there. I will recommend and refer my family and friends to your MederiWellness. Everyone should and needs to have the peace and sunshine that I received.”, -- Renee Konzen

I feel when I first came to you I was in BAD shape, also a lot of pain. When I was there the pain level of an 8 and by the time the session was over I was at a 3. Then the next session only got better I started at a 3 and ended the session with no pain at all!!!! Then I came back 16 months later for a tune up with managing pain, weight loss, and depression. After my session with David, I was more relaxed and happy. I felt like I had a Bright future ahead of me. THANK YOU so much for all that you did to help me. I never felt so empowered and I am in control of anything that life has to throw my way, because I know how to deal with it the right way instead of the negative things. Thank You., -- Ashley Schwochow

I suffered from nerve pain in my face for 7 years. This pain affected every area of my life; I also have fibromyalgia, neck & back pain and trouble sleeping. Since my hypnosis, I have been doing extremely well. I sleep great every night. I have gone off of my medication for nerve pain. My body doesn’t ache like it did, and my neck & back are now adjusting all by themselves! I do a lot of deep breathing, visualizations, and exercise and diet changes also. I also drink lots of water. I have let go of things in my past that used to upset me. I feel like I am free. My body is healing itself. I have a whole new outlook on life and I am very grateful for hypnosis., -- Anonymous

Sports Improvement
Dear David, Golf is a passion of mine – for the fun of the exercise, the experience of nature and the joy of playing and competing. My commitment to improving my game – and having more fun-- is evidenced by my hours on the practice range and a series of lessons over the past 5 years from several wonderful Pros at area golf clubs. I felt I had the technical knowledge – or at least as much as I could absorb at my level of play. The next level for me was to seriously work on the mental game of golf – and that is why I committed to 3 sessions with you; My reverse pivot --- was the single most important swing correction I needed to make. While years of lessons had helped me correct a lot of elements of my grip, stance and swing – my reverse pivot was a perennial problem. The first golf hypnosis session on visualization was fabulous -- and resulted in instantaneous change. My reverse pivot is gone – after years and years of knowing what I SHOULD do – now I am DOING it! That change alone got me 15 yards more off the tee – and more importantly, eliminated a “doubt” in my swing thought and dramatically improved results – INSTANTANEAOUSLY!! . In this session I also learned the visualization technique that Pros use and that I can use – on my own -- at any time -- and especially when I try to groove in new swing changes and before important matches. The next 2 golf sessions were totally on focus and concentration. I was THINKING -- on the tee, for the critical 2nd shot, for the putt – too many thoughts going through the mind. I needed to learn how to clear my mind and FOCUS!!! How does one control the emotions? How does one stay in the moment? How does one clear the mind? How does one focus AND incorporate the visualization of the shot? My sessions with David were tailored to Me and my Mind – focused on my new golf swing, focused on the correct weight shift and timing from right to left, incorporating all the new suggested changes from my local golf Pro into our pre-talk – and into the session. I now have a solid mental routine in my set-up and when I address the ball. Little did I know at the time that these two sessions on focus would provide the mental toughness to help me win the WGA Club Championship in 2010. Optimum Performance Mode – Hit’m long and straight!! I am enjoying the GAME of golf more than ever. Joyfully, -- Alison L. Falls
Dear David, We had our first session about 3 weeks ago. Since that time, I have continued to get walking exercise almost every day and I’ve been staying away from eating in the evenings and have avoided the foods that contain excessive sugar and carbs. No soft drinks. Just water, iced tea or black coffee. I feel better, breath deeper and most of all; lost about 14 lbs. At our second session we spent time working to improve my sporting clays shooting. I concentrate much better now and distractions are no longer an issue. I feel more relaxed and enjoy my time shooting more. Both areas of improvement can only be described as big changes for me. You helped me beyond my expectations. Thank you, -- Larry Koverman
