“BEST decision I’ve ever made hands down!!! My mom started on the weight loss program with Robert and introduced me to it… Not only have the lbs. been melting away; I feel great, healthy, and energized. This program has transformed my life in many ways.”

- Sabrina B., South San Francisco, CA

“I was a skeptic and didn’t really believe in hypnosis but was very desperate to stop smoking.I smoked a pack a day for about 18 years,I had an appointment which lasted about an hour and a half.That was almost 2 years ago and I left that appointment and have never smoked a cigarette again!”

- Catherine O, South San Francisco, CA

“I am finally smoke free and best of all, the urge to smoke is gone. This program is worth every dollar spent – easy to follow, emotionally painless and lifetime guarantee of support.”

- Maggie S, Sausilito, CA

“They spent a lot of time during the initial screening to make sure that hypnosis is a good fit. He also cares a lot about his clients and went above and beyond what I expected. I’ve lost 26lbs and it’s so easy. I go in for my sessions weekly and it’s very relaxing. I don’t think about food as much and I also am exercising more. I feel so much healthier too.”

- Kathy K, Campbell, CA

“They have given me the tools that I need to succeed. On top of the weekly sessions with my Coach he gave me specific audio programs that I could take home and listen to when I wasn’t with my Coach. So far I’ve lost 18 lbs and I couldn’t be happier. I was nervous at first but Robert definitely helped me to feel comfortable and was just wonderful.”

- Laurel S, Santa Clara, CA

“5 years smoke free after 18 dedicated years of smoking a pack a day. I cant wait to take my next vacation with the money I have saved from eating properly and not smoking. Both these programs are worth every penny they cost. The freedom I have gained by participating is priceless. Thank you Robert!”

- Mark E, San Jose, CA

“I came to the Center because I was intrigued by the idea of learning how to think like a thin person. By the end of my 8th session (10 weeks) I’ve lost about 18lbs which was a surprise because I don’t feel like I’m dieting or depriving myself at all!”

- Sharon C , Santa Clara, CA

“So I have been really happy since I decided to go to bay area hypnosis. In the last 6 months I lost 57 pounds. The hypnosis helped to stop the cravings and allowed me to change the way I look at food. I now make food decisions based on how food will make me feel instead of how it tastes.”

- Paul J , San Francisco, CA

“I smoked over two packs a day and I do not go for the normal mind over body or new age BS so many people try to sell. I’ll be honest I did not think it was going to work. But someone else paid for me to go, what did I have to lose? well I lost a nasty habit of over 20 years and gained a better quality of life.”

- TJ V, Guernville, CA

“I am a Non-Smoker now, thanks to Bay Area Hypnosis Center! Never believe this could be possible! I LOVE LIFE NOW THAT I AM NOT A SLAVE TO CIGARETTES!!!!!”

- Lani A, San Carlos, CA

“I had been a smoker for about 14 years. I had tried quitting many times before but I always seemed to go back to smoking. I was skeptical of hypnosis at first, but after speaking to Robert, my wife and I decided to give it a try. After the first session, I am very happy to say that I do not feel I will ever smoke cigarettes again.”

- Tammy W, San Carlos, CA

“I’m surprised it really works! I’m exercising almost everyday without consciously thinking about it. I feel the pounds have been melting away without much effort. It’s a great program and I highly recommend it! I enjoyed working with Robert Harrison and I’m thankful for the Center.”

- Anna W, Millbrae, CA

“As of today, I have lost a total of 50 pounds with the help of the NLP & Hypnosis Center. With the exercise I have incorporated into my life, my waist size is only 2 inches larger then when I was in high school! The system has been completely motivating and it’s doing exactly what I hoped for.”

- Dave L, San Carlos, CA

“I am delighted at how EASY this has been and really feel that I have beaten this habit for life. CHEERS! Thanks to Robert Harrison!”

- Sara S, San Carlos, CA

“I am glad I used the NLP & Hypnosis Center to stop biting my nails because I am able to relax automatically as I unconsciously start becoming stressed. I am more content to be able to live in the present and not worry about the future or try to re-live the past.”

- Erwin R, San Carlos, CA

“I was a smoker for 35 years. I quit the habit after the first session with Robert. The problem is completely painless. I have no craving for smoking at all.”

- Ceasar D, San Francisco, CA

“It opened my eyes to the truth about smoking. I had felt trapped for years as a smoker and for the first time I feel I have all the control to overcome any habit. In a way, I got my life back, not only my health but all the time and stress I put on myself as a smoker. Hypnosis made all of this possible for me. I strongly believe that with the change in perception it made quitting smoking enjoyable.”

- Brandy B, San Mateo, CA


“I have been smoking for about the past 5 years. Over the past couple of years, it’s been an everyday habit. Couple packs a day. I heard about the NLP & Hypnosis Center from TV commercials. I looked them up and watched some of the videos, read the testimonials and decided that it was something I could do, should do. So I checked it out and was semi smoke free after the first visit and was encouraged by that, that I really made it a commitment and have been smoke free since the firs session and I feel great. After the free consultation, I didn’t have the urge to smoke; I just smoked a few even without any feelings of want or craving for it, just to see if it was real. I didn’t want it, it didn’t have the same feel or pleasure from it. I wasn’t getting anything from it anymore. I finally feel free, like this is how I should have been living, not under a horrible cloud. It just really feels good, feels so real, it has been an easy, natural transition. Feels outstanding. It’s funny because I think everybody’s sort of preprogrammed to think, “Oh, I’m going to cluck like a chicken.” It was just so relaxing, the best massage or spa treatment you could ever have without doing that. You just feel so relaxed, so peaceful. I feel peaceful in a way that I have never felt before. It’s not intimidating or unnerving at all. Just relaxing. There is one side effect, and it is feeling so good that I’ve actually started jogging. So I think the side effect is better health and just feeling much better about your self all over.”

- Jasmine B, San Francisco, CA

"I have been a smoker for 32 years. I am now smoke free for the last 2 weeks with no desire whatsoever to smoke. Before hypnosis, I tried the Patch, Wellbrutin, counseling, group therapy and none of it worked obviously. My Fiancee and I came to the NLP & Hypnosis Center together and are both smoke free with no desire to smoke at all. Thanks to a co–worker of mine who recommended Robert, so I could get this monkey off my back. Hypnosis feels like a great nap. It’s been easy to quit, except for a couple fleeting thoughts; I’ve had no desire to have a cigarette. No pull, haven’t been irritable, nothing. I can see myself smoke free for the rest of my life.”

- Mike M, San Francisco, CA

“I started smoking when i was 13 years old. My Mom smoked at that time. My Dad had quit 10 years earlier, but started up again when I was 15. I quit several times over the years only to start up again. In November, 1996, my Dad was diagnosed with small cell carcinoma in his lungs. He died less than a month later.

In February, 2011, my Mom was diagnosed with stage 4 oral cancer. Both cancers were a result of smoking. Surprisingly, neither of those diagnoses were enough to stop me from continuing to smoke. I was by my Mom’s side every step of the way through her treatment. To witness what she was going through was definitely one of the most painful experiences in my life. She endured 3 months of chemo followed by 7 weeks of daily radiation treatments. Due to complications, she was hospitalized 4 times. Still, I did not quit smoking.

On January 6 2012, I took my mom to a follow up appointment with her oncologist. She was given a clean bill of health. That evening, my fiance, Mike, and i decided “It’s time for us to quit smoking.” We had talked several times before about using hypnosis to help us quit smoking. Mike had a co- worker who had used Bay Area Hypnosis Center to help him quit smoking and hadn’t had a cigarette in over 4 years. So we decided to give it a try.

We both met Robert for our initial consultation. Robert has an amazing ability to put you at ease from the moment you meet. After our consultation, neither of us could wait for our first appointment and to start the process. Mike and I were both surprised at how easy it turned out to be to let go of the smoking habit. At the conclusion of our first appointment, we both felt excited, invigorated and ready to make more healthy changes to our lifestyles! We are both looking forward to our new, healthy lives! We have shared our experience with family and friends.

The support and encouragement we have received has been overwhelming, wonderful and inspiring. Making the decision to come to NLP & Hypnosis Center to quit smoking was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Thank you Robert!!!”

- Julie M, San Francisco, CA

“I was able to stop smoking without feeling the stress that I had experienced with the other quit smoking methods like the gum, group support, patches and meds. I’d tried them all – some with success – but all left me coping with some level of desire to smoke – and I always started smoking again. I am recommending Hypnosis to everyone who wants to quit.”

- Mary K, San Francisco, CA

“It made me more aware of how my body handles stress. With this knowledge I can stop allowing stress to affect me physically. I no longer make projects for myself. I have slowed down. I breathe deeper. I feel more relaxed. My allergies are less (shorter duration.) looking for ways to slow down more.”

- Anonymous, San Francisco, CA

“I am finding a new way of living healthy and I am enjoying it! in the short weeks I have been on the program, I have lost 12 lbs but more importantly I had gained a new perspective on my health and an understanding of how to care for my body and mind! THANK YOU!”

- Denise B, San Francisco, CA

“I was hesitant and walked out of Robert’s office thinking that nothing had changed. It has been 8 months since I smoked. WOW! Bay Area Hypnosis Center has changed my life into being a non smoker and it was more than worth it. If your ready to quit, let Robert help you do so. I did!!!”

- Munish M, San Francisco, CA

“I felt confident almost immediately that I would succeed. Robert consistently reinforced my commitment and calmed my fears. He made me feel an inner confidence that my fears were inconsistent with my “real” self and desires. He gave me tools to reinforce – renewed feelings of gratitude. The health part was not as important to me (I’m 82) as other issues – mess- what I thought was need. He’s comforting, and consistent.”

- Shirley D, San Jose, CA

“I am extending my life, I’m free of when & where my next smoke will come, and most of all I believe I’m a non smoker. This program is alot easier then I first thought. It works. I’m a non smoker for the rest of my life.”

- Anonymous, San Francisco, CA

“I am exercising! Some in the morning and hour long walks in the evening. I feel energized about my control over my food and alcohol intake. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel – which I could not before. I know i’m on the right road.”

- Anonymous, San Francisco, CA

“I am smoke free! I no longer feel like a slave to smoking. The desire is gone and I can see benefits in less than two weeks. I am breathing better, I no longer smell of smoke and I know the rest of my life will be healthier and happier.”

- Robert F, San Francisco, CA

“Within one week, I noticed less tension by becoming more aware of the signals which cause stress. Take a moment to breath and reflect.”

- Anonymous, San Francisco, CA

“After the 1st session, I noticed a major reduction in my drinking. Most amazingly, I didn’t miss it or constantly think about it or consider that I was depriving myself of anything great. Great help”

- Barbara N, San Francisco, CA

“I feel more positive, better food choices, i’m thinking more before I act, I’m exercising every single day and liking it. And I feel more like myself”

- Darleen A, San Francisco, CA

“I’ve been a nail biter for as long as I can remember. I’ve tried countless ways to stop, and nothing has worked. Nothing, that is, until I tried Hypnosis. After one session I no longer feel the need to bite my nails. I feel like this is a habit I have overcome and don’t need to worry about anymore. It’s a great feeling.”

- Kimberly S, San Francisco, CA

“I was able to stop biting my finger nails, and am now finding that my everyday life is much easier and smooth. Now that I’ve stopped. I had chewed my fingers since I was a child as early as i could remember, I have bitten my nails. Now at 19, I am able to say I’ve stopped a life long bad habit.”

- Fabio P, San Francisco, CA

“I do not feel “trapped” by cigarettes anymore. I never realized how much more freedom I have not planning my life around smoking. I have more time to get things done, I enjoy breathing fresh air, I feel more energized and healthier and I smell good!!”

- Deena K, San Francisco, CA

“After a few attempts of trying to quit on my own to no avail, I had a major health scare and was told to quit smoking. After smoking 1 1/2 – 2 packs a day for approximately 35 years. Robert was able to help me and I quit smoking after our very first session. For those of you who may be skeptical (I was!!) This program really does work. I have no desire to smoke.”

- Laurie M, San Francisco, CA

“IT WORKS! It is the first diet plan that ever worked for me. I never go hungry, I eat as much as I want as long as they are not filled with fat, sugar, or starch. Believe me, it works.”

- Frank S, San Francisco, CA

“This was greatly affecting my life, getting worse every year. The first time I met Robert, I was sure he was the guy who could help me. I have since had almost no second thoughts of getting on an elevator or I am now able to sit in the backseat of a 2 door car. That feeling of being trapped was bad for me. Thank you so much for all your help. you have made my life for me a little easier everyday.”

- David H, San Francisco, CA

“Choosing the right combination of foods seem to be easier. All choices feel natural. The visual effects make it easy. I’m at week 6 and down 10 lbs.”

- Anonymous, San Francisco, CA

“It saved my life and marriage, I feel healthier, have a positive attitude, sleep better, enjoy life. After trying many other Stop Smoking methods and failing, I’m glad to have people like Robert and his staff in this world who care so much about others. Thank you!!”
