Hi Nick
I just wanted to let you know that I'm still not smoking, nearly 5 weeks since our meeting. I've even been out a few times with other people who were smokers and resisted the urge to smoke.
Many thanks for your time.
Merry Christmas!
The good news is that it worked this time. I am pregnant. I used the hypnosis techniques we practiced which I'm sure helped emensely. So thank you for all your help. Also I had reflexology on the morning before the transfer.
Sorry I've not emailed sooner but it's taking a while to get used to it all after 5 years of trying.

Hi Nick,
I just wanted to say a massive thank you for my hypnotherapy session. So far so good!
I am still craving a ciggie now and then, but feel better equipped to deal with the cravings. It’s really quite an amazing feeling! Everything feels cleaner, brighter and more positive!.
I think that I will be ok for this little while, so won’t book an appointment to see you next week. As you said, I know I can call on you for any further support I need.
Once again Nick, thank you so much. Have a good w/e away.
Kind regards,

(I saw the following client for fertility work in November 2006, in January I recieved this email..)
Hello Nick,
Just thought I'd send you a quick email to say thank you for the hypnotherapy sessions. Although my fertility treatment did not work, I found the treatments very useful in helping me relax and think positively. I feel so inspired that I'd like to learn more about the training to become a hypnotherapist. I was wondering if you could please let me know where you completed your training and any other details that may help me decide if this is the right choice for me?
Thanks again,
(Then a few months later the following mail, which shows that she probably conceived in January!)
Hi Nick,
Hope you are well.
You won't believe it but after giving up on trying to conceive, i naturally conceived at the start of the year- i think my hypno sessions with you really helped. My husband and I are thrilled. Our baby is due in mid-October and we are now interested in hypnobirthing classes and wondering if you are holding any classes in the next couple of months?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Hi Nick
I am so sorry i havent been in touch with you sooner but i lost your email address and have been really busy with moving out from university. I thought i would drop you a line to let you know that i flew to Thailand fine i didnt freak out once, apart fron maybe alittle bit when we flew on a small plane to an island. I had a really good time in Thailand and im so glad that i made the journey. I know feel confident enough to travel wherever i choose, i also feel alot more relaxed and happier in myself. I just wanted to thankyou for all the help that you gave me to overcome my fear.
Regards
Hello Nick
Thought I would give you an update!! I have walked to work every day and I am drinking gallons of water?? I feel great, thank you it seems to be working..... I have passed your details to a few of my colleagues here at BT who are interested ok...
Thank you again
kind regards
Hi Nick
Sorry this comes a bit late. Over a month ago, you kindly helped me out with a fear of flying problem in a last-minute session. I just wanted to tell you that it really helped me! On the flight on the way out, I didn't need any sort of relaxation 'drug' or alcohol, and my husband was amazed at how calm I was. I managed to remember the distraction techniques etc and, despite boring my family with explanations of cloud formations and plane design, they were pleased that for once I wasn't sitting in terror. I was a little more nervous on the flight on the way back but just because I hadn't listened to the CD you gave me. At any rate, it was still over 80% better I would say and I would get on a plane quite comfortably now.
I have passed on news of this success to a couple of my husband's friends at work who are scared of flying, so hopefully they will get in touch.
Many thanks once again; it was so nice not to be terrified!
Best wishes

Nick,
...Thanks for your efforts. The session was a very strange and interesting experience, difficult to ‘pin down’ in details and clearly ‘working’ in some deep and subtle way.
I have experienced subsequently a very clear release of bodily energy, evident in a loosening and a very remarkable energisation of the left hand side of my upper body originating in the back of my neck and head: and I did sleep remarkably well and more deeply than I have for some time. My breathing is notably more involentarily deep than for some time. The session has given me much to reflect on and I look forward to some continuing change in my disposition... All best wishes..
Dear Nick
I had my viva on Thursday and I just wanted to let you know how I got on. The viva itself went very well - the examiners said I examined well, was calm (!) and defended my thesis well. I have some amendments to make to my thesis as a result of the exam and then I'm hoping they will award the PhD ...
So it looks like the work we did together was very effective! I have to say, I found it particularly important for the feedback session when they are basically telling you all the things that are wrong - it's a bit of a slagging off session and probably before I would have taken it personally. However, I felt I was able to focus on what they were saying and responded and asked questions of my own. God!!
So, many thanks from me - whilst I might give birth again, I don't have to do another viva! Hope that everything is progressing well with your partner's pregnancy. With my best wishes, G -Hypnotherapy and HypnoBirthing client from near Oxford.

Hello Nick
I dont know if you recall but I came to see you
shortly before Christmas - about my fear of flying (I
was off to Prague).
I just wanted to say thank you for your help - it was
so much better on the way out - although a week later
coming back was pretty awful unfortunately I could
have done with another session while I was there!
I am planning to come back at some point when finances
permit - but wanted to let you know that it did help a
lot - thank you
Best Wishes

I had the birthing experience I wanted, I was happy and relaxed throughout.. HypnoBirthing client from Oxford
Chipping Norton hospital wished they could have videod the birth as they said it was the perfect birth, my notes written by the midwife during labour only covered four lines. I was relaxed throughout and delivered in the birthpool. I felt little discomfort... it was so quick and comfortable. HypnoBirthing client from the Oxford area.
So thanks for your help, support, and all the things you taught me. The miracle happened - hypnotherapy does work! But then, you knew this all along...
A big thank you once again. HypnoBirthing client from Oxford
Dear Nick,
I just wish to say thanks for your input in regards to the non smoking therapy. It has been over 6 months now and looking back feel that I could not have done this without your input. The Hypnotherapy gave me strength and
belief to take this on, I feel strong and very glad to be free of smoking,
If you don't mind I have recommend you to a few of my friends.
regards

Suffering from insomnia, I had been to three doctors to try and to help find a solution. Prescribed with sleeping pills, which made me drowsy the next day, I tried an alternative solution.
With just a couple of sessions and a sleep CD from Nick I have not only put my sleep disorder to rest (excuse the pun) but now manage to stay calm and relaxed during my stressful work life.

'I had smoked for 14 years and tried to give up several times over the past few years but never lasted more than a month. After 1 session with Nick I've stopped smoking for 6 months and have no desire to do so. He really took me that extra step I needed and has changed my life. I feel great, and I dont have those little white sticks controlling my life anymore!' - Stop smoking hypnotherapy client from near Oxford
No pain whatsoever (before the final few minutes - just 16 hours of very minor niggles. The birth took us all by surprise, even the midwife. It was so mild, I wasn't sure I was in labour at all. Then, suddenly, three big contractions and the baby popped out! When Tierni was handed to me, I was in such shock I wondered where she had been magicked up from (truly!). No tears or stitches either in spite of the speedy delivery. HypnoBirthing client from Oxford
I listened to your hypnotherapy tapes and visualisation techniques throughout, so stayed totally relaxed. HypnoBirthing client from Oxford
