(54-year-old financial industry executive)

"After learning of a serious health complication, I was overcome with feelings of fear and anger. Ikuko was able to help me deal with my feelings and to manage the stress that my situation caused. She helped me to understand that there's no such thing as "normal," just different circumstances that we learn to handle. Ikuko gave me the strength to manage my condition and get on with my life." (44-year-old executive)

"I was preparing  to apply to medical school but was unsure about the interview because my major was in finance. So I made an appointment with Ikuko for a mock interview. Her feedback was very insightful, and each suggestion she offered was helpful and made a lot of sense. I learned which area s of my background and experience I should emphasize, and gained confidence that I could handle the real interview." ( 27 - year -old medical student)

"Believe it or not, I practiced an audition under hypnosis. Amazing experiences!" (22- year-old violinist)

" I had heard about hypnosis but never tried it before meeting with Ikuko. She is a lovely lady and very intelligent -- not what I imagined a "hypnotherapist" would be! With Ikuko's guidance, I experienced a clear vision with powerful imagery. Among other things, I saw a cross that I sensed was important to me but was unsure why. Later, I discussed this with the man I was seeing. He reached into his pocket and produced a cross almost identical to the one I saw in my vision. I understood at that moment that we were meant to be together. I'm grateful to Ikuko for helping me realize this." (59-year-old Montana resident)
