Smoking Cessation 
 I was a heavy smoker for decades. Before coming to the Merlin Centre, I was anxious and very nervous. Robert Merlin put me at ease right away, describing how the process he developed worked and what I could expect. He also helped me to understand what the tobacco was doing to my mind and body, and how they both could start healing over the course of months and years according to the CDC. Also I was more susceptible to covid-19 because of my compromised immune system.

After the first session, there are two, I was amazed at how calm I felt. It was like nothing I had felt before. When the two sessions were finished my cravings just basically just disappeared.

The results of the sessions far exceeded my expectations. I am now a non-smoker for life and I know it. I highly recommend Robert Merlin and the Merlin Centre to anyone who wants to stop smoking. It was worth every penny.

Smoking Cessation 
I came to the Merlin Centre to stop smoking. I have been a smoker for 40 years. I tried the patches and the gum. They did not work for me. Before I went to the first session I was very skeptical and nervous about the process. At the same time I was curious and was anticipating how it would be. Well after the two sessions it took to be a non-smoker, I felt very calm and peaceful. I now hade a better understanding of why I was a smoker and felt relief that I now did not smoke at all.
I felt very confident in the gentle hypnosis process and in my ability to abstain from smoking. I was calm and I had no anxiety about this not working. It was by far the most effective, calming and positive procedure to quit smoking I have ever used and experienced. I know I am a non-smoker and I am positive the tools and techniques I learned at the Merlin Centre will easily make it possible to remain a non-smoker for the rest of my life.
I highly recommend Robert Merlin and the Centre to anyone who wants to quit smoking. Just do it. The best money I have ever spent on myself.

I have very positive feelings about my success and the experience was very enjoyable and relaxing. My sessions have worked! I never thought it could or would happen after smoking for over 45 years and I feel confident I will remain a non-smoker. I now have been taught the tools to use so that I won't give in to urges or cravings. I am now satisfied that I can control them now and in the future. The hypnotic smoking cessation program has been a great experience and I am so relieved that I made the decision to finally take action to quit smoking.

Smoking Cessation 
I have been smoking steady for over 46 years. I have tried the gum, patches and pills and nothing ever worked. I decided to try something different because I really wanted to stop killing my self so I called the Merlin Centre to try Hypnotherapy. I was nervous and uptight before the session but Robert Merlin and his staff put me at ease and made me feel very comfortable. When the hypnosis was over I felt more at ease, much less stressful and so very calm. It was a wonderful experience and I had NO urge to smoke at all. I should have done this years ago but I listened to other people and what they thought would happen if I was hypnotized even though they had not ever been hypnotized. I am now a non-smoker. I also have been sleeping better all night long without waking up. I have not been able to do that in years! My clothes do not smell like smoke anymore and I feel better,breathe better and I am coughing very little now. I would recommend Hypnosis to anyone, especially if you have tried everything else and it has failed. I look forward to being a non-smoker for the rest of my life. I am not a gimmick person but this has worked like a miracle for me. I am so thankful for Robert Merlin and what he has helped me do.

I had been trying for 30 years to stop smoking. Patches, chantex, cold turkey and nothing worked. I might stop for a few weeks but I would start up again. I was uptight and nervous about trying Hypnosis and I did not even know if it would work on me. Merlin made me feel so comfortable and explained how the program worked and it made sense to me. The office was professional and so was the staff. When the hypnosis started I felt myself just letting go and enjoying the feeling of peace that came over me. When it was over I felt wonderful. It was so calming and heavenly that I felt better right away. It was a restful experience. I just wish I could feel like this all the time without having to get over something. As soon as the session was done I did not want to smoke at all and it stayed that way! I could not believe it and it was so easy.

Smoking Cessation 
I wanted to quit smoking. I had tried the patches, the e cigs, the gum and Wellbutrin and nothing worked for me. I made an appointment at the Merlin Centre to try hypnotherapy to stop the 40 year old habit. I really did not know if it would work or not but I was willing to spend the money and try. If it did work it would be worth every penny. The sessions made me very relaxed and were very comforting. After the first session I have not smoked at all! Every day with the help of the Merlin Centre and hypnosis, I feel stronger and stronger about being a non-smoker forever. I did not realize it would be this easy. I should have done this years ago. Now I will live my life smoke free and will never look back. I recommend Robert Merlin to anyone who wants to give up smoking. This is one of the best things I have ever done for myself.

Smoking Cessation 
I went to the Merlin Centre to stop smoking. I felt hopeless and that smoking would control my life forever. I had tried to quit many times but always was unable to quit no matter what I tried. None of it worked. I was unsure of hypnosis and did not know if it would work for me. After the session I felt so centered. After the first session I did not want a cigarette at all! I could not believe it. The feeling ,the wanting, the craving was gone. I can now say no to tobacco and I can take back control of my life again. I can see people around me smoking and I can appreciate that I am not one of them. I am no longer a smoker. I can not wait to run my first marathon. I feel I can do anything now. This was the biggest stronghold I have ever overcome and I could not do it alone. I am so proud of myself. I am now a non-smoker. I will always be a non-smoker. This victory feels amazing. I have not had a cigarette since the first session nor will I ever. Thank you so much Robert Merlin for helping me overcome this horrible habit and start my new healthy life. If you or someone you know is a tobacco user, tell them to go to the Merlin Centre. It could save their life.

Smoking Cessation 
I really wanted this hypnosis to work. I was skeptical. But I had tried everything to smoking. I tried the patches, the nicotine gum and cold turkey and none of them worked. Then my doctor put me on chantix twice and wellbutrin also. They just made me have bad dreams. Then I called the Merlin Centre and made an appointment. The office atmosphere was very professional and so was Robert Merlin. I felt comfortable and at ease. I had never been hypnotized and I did not know what to expect. I can not remember being so relaxed before. After the sessions I felt refreshed and calm. It was a great experience and I would recommend Robert and the Merlin Centre to anyone. I had been smoking for over 40 years and in just a few sessions I have no urge to smoke at all. I am not smoking anymore and I do not want to. I am tickled by the outcome and a little surprised. Robert is the real deal. I am going to tell my friends about him so they can stop smoking also.

"Before hypnosis I had a strong desire to stop smoking for health reasons but I needed something stronger and more successful (for me) than gum, patches and cigarette sticks. When I realized I had no will power to stop, that's when hypnosis became an option. After my hypnosis sessions I felt relieved, proud of myself and looking forward to my new life. I am now a non-smoker and pleased to have the tools to help me remain a non-smoker. These are the types of tools that will come in strong when will power isn't enough. A huge thank you to Robert Merlin! I am so happy and looking forward to a smoke free life. I would absolutely recommend hypnosis services to anyone who is ready to stop smoking.

Thank you Robert Merlin for all your help in my moms hip surgery. First, to help her to stop smoking so she could have the surgery and then the pre-surgery session before having the surgery. The last hypnotherapy session made it a lot easier on her, no panic, fear or anxiety etc. She did great! Thank you.

Robert has been such a help with a 40 year weight fight. I am only about 2 months into this program but already down about 20 lbs. The proof will be where I am in a year, and I will happily report back then.

I came to the center for weight loss. I had a lot of anxiety,guilt and I was aware of my mindless eating but I was not able to stop it by willpower alone. After my first session I felt calmer and my will power was much stronger. I had great results for stopping mindless eating and my willpower remains very strong. The weight loss did not happen immediately, but it is happening. I am VERY satisfied with the results. Some other issues came to the surface during our sessions and I am now seeing my familt therapist. Thank you SO much. I would come back again.

Robert Merlin has been wonderful with my weight loss. I was told by my medical doctor that I would not be able to lose the weight due to a medication that I am on related to breast cancer. I have lost 20 pounds with only 10 more to go. I highly recommend him for weight loss and any other issues you may have. The mind is very powerful and he helps you to tap into that power to overcome obstacles in your life.

I purchased a Living Social or Groupon to try Hypnosis. What I didn't know was the fact that I had so many other issues going on. Between my first and second sessions my life was shattered with the suicide of my husband. Robert helped me through this awful time in my life. After work on myself and a year later we started Hypnosis on the anniversary of my husband's death, it was moving and rewarding. More counseling and by the beginning of 2014 he felt I was ready to start my weight loss. My weight has always been an issue primarily from stress. In March we started a process of self awareness, self confidence, self love and of course weight loss. It has taken Hypnosis to keep me positive and true. Now November 2014, I am 42 pounds lighter, happier and healthier. I have confidence with the continued tools and ideas Hypnosis has given me I will be able to keep my weight in check. This was a year of drastic change for me. Next year will yield more and I now look forward to a beautiful beginning.

I actually scheduled my appointment with Robert Merlin because I knew a person who lost a substantial amount of weight through hypnotherapy. What I have received is far beyond a weight loss treatment. I have learned that my weight gain is a result of how my life had become so out of balance. I lost myself and I was on a serious downhill slope. Robert Merlin has helped me in such a tremendous way. He has helped me find my way back to who I truly am. The techniques he has taught me to relieve stress, to relax, to listen to myself and my body has had an amazingly positive effect on my life. It has now been two months and my family and friends are still amazed on how calm and happy I am. My family and work life is now back in balance. Robert Merlin continues to help me along and teaches me more in every session. Not only am I in the best frame of mind I have been in in a very long time, there is an added bonus -- the weight is coming off too. : )

I was hopeless about losing weight! I had tried many other things to lose weight including gastric bypass. Bypass worked to a point but I was not where I wanted to be, I was still focusing on food. Hypnosis was my last effort before giving up permanently. I am so hopeful and confident I will continue losing weight with the help of Mr. Merlin and hypnosis. I am no longer going to settle for where I am weight wise. I don't think of food all of the time. I have three pieces of my favorite chocolate sitting beside me at night and they are not a problem. I have lost 30 lbs. since I started hypnosis. People who know me have commented that I am more calm and peaceful. I am very excited about my progress and confidence with weight loss.

I met Robert Merlin as a last resort to try and lose weight. I was hoping this would help but really didn't believe that i would be a long term lasting solution. I had been on many rollercoaster rides with all the different diets losing and gaining more weight. I was amazed that within literally a couple of weeks i started looking at food differently. I was no longer consumed with planning around food, etc, especially since i knew exactly what to do and that no foods were off limit. I now have the tools that i need thanks to the Dr! I would strongly recommend anyone no matter what your problem is to see him. He is very personable, easy to talk to and has a great sense of humor. He has no idea how much he has changed my life and i am grateful to him.

My weight gain was out of control. I had tried every diet and diet center you could think of. I lost weight but I always gained it back. It was always a constant battle with food and eating. After a few visits to the Merlin Centre I felt much calmer and peaceful. I found myself making better choices without really having to think about it. Also food was not the main thing on my mind every minute. I was even eating smaller portions and felt great. It was like I was finally listening to my highest self. If you want to lose the old habits about food, the Merlin Centre can help. It did with me and I am so grateful.

- Beverly S.

I had lost 55 pounds and then, like many others, found that I was gaining it back. When I had gained back 30 of the lost pounds I decided to try hypnosis. Honestly, I was hoping he was going to do something quick and easy like "Mmm chocolate is awful and broccoli is wonderful." and we'd be done. It wasn't that simple. Robert does indeed give you the tools you need to get to your goals. It's not a snap session, it's over time, but I did what he told me to do, and it has worked. I'm not there yet, but I am right there knocking at the door of a really good weight for me. He may not tell you what you want to hear, but he will tell you what you need to hear. Give it a try!

I have been trying to lose weight for years. One diet after the other. You name it and I have tried it. The Problem was I lost the weight then gained it back and then some. Then I felt guilty and depressed. This rollercoaster would not stop. So I had heard that hypnotherapy worked for many people so I decided to try it. That is when I found the Hypnotherapy Center and Robert Merlin. I do not know what I expected but was I surprised. No diets, no lectures, no guilt, no hunger. It was like I was finally listening to myself. Wanted to eat the right foods in the right amounts. I was getting rid of my old habits and changing them for new ones that were better for me. And it was easy. I was never even hungry or having cravings or urges for food anymore. I just seemed to do what I always wanted to do but never did. All I know is that it worked for me. I will never go back to those old eating habits again! I look good and I feel good. This really was a lifestyle change for me. Robert was caring, empathetic and always made me feel good about myself. If you are thinking about losing weight you HAVE to try hypnotism. Robert, thank you so much for helping find the real me that had been hidden for so long. Life is so much better now.

I came to the Merlin Centre to stop eating foods that gave me allergic reactions and to change my poor eating habits. I had been to another hypnotist and I did not have a good experience nor did I get the results that I went there for. I even got a headache. The session I had with Robert Merlin was completely different. Before the session I was stressed, tense and very distracted. I felt so calm and peaceful during the hypnosis that I could not even feel my body. I felt so much lighter. When it was over I did not want to get out of the chair because I felt so good. I felt more positive and encouraged about my issue then I have felt in a long time. I would highly recommend the Merlin Centre to anyone who wants to make changes in their life.

- Crystal W.

I initially scheduled an appointment with Robert Merlin for weight loss and to boost my self-confidence, particularly in the workplace. In the first session, however, I realized I had deep unresolved feelings of grief and anger I had not yet dealt with fully. Robert's insights and honesty played a critical role in helping me clearly assess my circumstances and realize my own power in determining my own positive outcomes. I am thankful that I learned about the Merlin Centre and would recommend it highly to anyone. It's changed my outlook on life, and bolstered my trust in myself. A wonderful experience all around!

Before my hypnosis session I was very apprehensive as to what would happen. After my first session I felt relaxed and at the same time energized. I am much more aware of what I am eating. I am very conscious of every bite. This was a wonderful experience and I can not wait until the next session. Oh, and I lost four pounds in my first week! I recommend Robert and the Center to anyone needing to lose weight the easy way.

I went to the Merlin Centre when my medical doctor suggested I see Robert Merlin to lose over 70 pounds. I had been there over a year ago to stop smoking with my wife and we both are still non-smokers. I had been struggling to lose weight and nothing seemed to work. I was stressed over work and I was eating all the wrong foods at all the wrong times. In also was not sleeping well and I was very irritable. After just a few sessions I noticed I was so much more relaxed during the day and things did not seem to bother me as much. I also found the program to be so easy to follow and the weight started falling off very easily. It has been three months and I have lost over 30 pounds and 17 inches! I have changed my eating habits and the processed foods I was eating. The hypnotherapy seemed to make everything easier. I also am sleeping better. I should have done this a long time ago. If you need to lose weight go to the Merlin Centre for Hypnosis & Enlightenment, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend Robert Merlin to anyone.

"Before coming into the Merlin Centre I was frustrated with my progress and felt stuck, like I could not lose this weight. Now after my sessions I am happy with my results and feeling much more relaxed. I can tell that things do not bother me as much as they used to. I am now 40 lbs. down! The hypnosis sessions were such a great alternative to surgery and I would highly recommend the weight wellness program. "

- Chris

"Before hypnosis I was very apprehensive but also open to the experience. I wanted change and desired to learn and listen. Following my sessions I felt relaxed, empowered and open to change. I was accepting my authority over my emotions and had released my need to judge and condemn my every misstep. I had no learned to rely on my higher power. The weight wellness hypnosis sessions gave me the resources and tools I needed for greater self-exploration. I now have a desire to continue in a positive path and feel that I am not in a race for perfection but rather I am on a journey for self-acceptance and love. I thank Robert Merlin for his ability to share his talents and knowledge so openly and in a transformational way. I would recommend these hypnosis sessions to anyone needing help with weight wellness. "

I wanted to try hypnosis because I was drinking sodas all the time and I wanted to stop the habit. I relly felt confident that hypnosis would work for me. I had tried willpower and that did not work! After the session I felt very relaxed and calm. I even fell asleep. I now have greater confidence that the positive changes will take place and I can achieve my goal. I would recommend hypnosis and Robert to my friends who may want to gain self control over their habits.

I came to the Merlin Centre for stress management. I was having trouble sleeping and I felt very angry. I also felt a lot of resentment and I was unable to cope with the stress at the workplace. After just a few hypnosis sessions I felt a strong peace of mind. I also was falling asleep and staying asleep and waking up more refreshed than I had in a long time. My stress level was reduced greatly. I also found I was able to deal with stressful situations with out any anger. I am now able to enjoy my life more. Robert Merlin was a great help and I feel so much better. I would recommend the Merlin Centre to anyone looking to better their life by changing old habits.

I saw Robert Merlin at the Merlin Centre and I can see why he is so successful. His office provides a wonderful atmosphere of Peace and Safety. He is very professional and easy to speak with. I felt a new sense of personal power and was able to speak up for myself after the session. I am looking forward to continuing my visits to the Merlin Centre.

I, too, was surprised by the effectiveness of the hypnosis sessions. Talking to Mr. Merlin gave me a different outlook on life and made me feel at peace with things I cannot change or prevent. He's a great listener; I never felt like I was being judged by my issues. I'm grateful for his help, and I'd recommend his services to anyone!

Stress Reduction Testimonials
I visited the Merlin Centre because I knew I needed to get past subconscious blocks that were holding me back from overcoming my health issues. What I didn't expect was that my visits would be so much more than hypnosis - they were like deep therapy sessions. I have done so much self-work before this and still, I was unaware of some of the things that I uncovered with Mr. Merlin. After my sessions I started having the most vivid, lucid dreams where I was able to work through some deep seated issues. I'm so glad I decided to try hypnosis and am really excited for my continued progress!

I can say I am a rational person, but my fear of flying had nothing rational in it. I tried my best in the past to talk myself out of it, I also tried situational stress medicines or a whiskey shot (!) before a flight, all without success. When I started to work with Robert, I was hoping hypnosis may help, but I never expected it to work so well! While before I was paralyzed by fear at every take off and landing, I was surprised to notice that, after working with him, I was actually enjoying it! How amazing! Thank you, Robert!

Mr. Merlin has shown me what a wonderful future I have ahead of me instead of continuing to suffer from deep sadness and depression since I was a teenager. Although I had a little doubt about doing hypnotism, he understood my concerns and assured me with his kind, caring, understanding character and professionalism that I could trust him to help me and I felt comfortable and complete in trusting him to reach out to my inner self and began healing my mind and body to levels I never would have thought were possible in my 67 years of life. I praise and thank God that He led me to Mr. Merlin and that I now know that my life is worth living and that I now look forward to a brighter and more productive future. I look forward to more sessions and my continuing to evolve into my true self. It is amazing and beautiful and peaceful. Thank you sir for your compassion and truth.

I just wanted to thank you so much for helping me out. I was so close to the point of cancelling the appointment but I am glad I did not. I had been wanting to do this for a couple of years but I was unsure. After yesterday afternoon, I did not think I would be able to go under hypnosis or benefit from this but I did. I remember you telling me right before I left that I would probably have a very good night sleep. I kept remembering on my way home as I was not quite sure if I would actually be able to sleep much anyway. For the past few weeks, I have had some pain in my lower back due to osteoarthritis. I went to bed at approximately 1:30am Friday night and woke up at 11:00am Saturday morning. I could not believe that I slept that long. I have never been so relaxed and it feels good. Again, thanks and I will see you in two weeks.

After years and years of playing basketball and softball and turning my ankle, I realized it was time to solve the problem of my reoccurring ankle instability. The surgical date was set, but emotionally, I was filled with situational stress and trepidations. I sought Robert's advice and with his help, I am currently 6 weeks removed from complete ankle reconstruction. I only used pain medication for the first 4 days following surgery (mostly to dull the pain from the nerve block wearing off; BTW I totally do not recommend a nerve block), and I have well surpassed my surgeon's expectations for recovery. Since my recovery has progressed so rapidly, my surgeon skipped the walking boot altogether: I graduated from a plaster cast to a lace up brace. The 8 inch scar in barely noticeable, and most notably, I am pain-free! The success of this surgery can be attributed 100% to you, Robert, for understanding my complicated psyche, for unearthing my resilience, and for instilling a swift and painless recovery process. I truly believe, had it not been for you and your methods, I would have needed more pain medication, and I would not have been as advanced in my recovery process. For this, I am grateful.

My surgery was scheduled at 5:30pm with arrival at 4:00pm. I listened to the Pre-Surgery CD that you created from our office session around 1:30pm before leaving home. By the time I arrived for the procedure, I was so relaxed and not as nervous as I usually am. Since my session with you, my pain level has decreased tremendously. I managed to go without pain meds until 5am. I did pass a few very small stones. I am looking forward to see how my recovery progresses.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my sessions and have learned a lot about myself and what I am able to overcome.

I had reached a point in my life that I knew I was at a place I didn't want to be. I needed to get healthier if I didn't want to become one of my patients in the near future. Approaching 60 years old with some chronic health problems, I was aware that I needed outside assistance if I was going to change my life. Hypnotherapy has become the answer to achieve my goals. It has shown me the path to control over my life again. As the weight comes off, the medications and disease issues have declined. Positive attitude and confidence have taken the place of desperation and hopelessness. An added bonus has also come with this new lifestyle---sleep has returned and stress levels have plummeted. This pathway may not be as simple as popping another pill, but the rewards have been amazing.

Before my session I was nervous with a lot of anxiety. I had a fall when tumbling and the fear stopped me from continuing a sport I loved. After a few sessions I felt confident, happy,relaxed and ready to tumble on my college team for try outs. I did do my flips and tumble and my fear was gone! Hypnotherapy really worked for me and helped me out. I would recommend Robert Merlin and the Hypnotherapy Center to my friends and family.

I had been biting my fingernails since I can remember (so that is approximately 50 years). Over the years, I had tried everything from wearing gloves, to snapping a band on my wrist, to polishing my nails with disgusting odors/tastes. I came to the Merlin Center thinking this was just a matter of willpower. But what i learned was that even with nail biting, there are underlying issues and if I didn't address them, it would be a constant struggle to stop biting my nails. With Robert Merlin's counsel, I was able to recognize these issues. After the issues were uncovered and having the hypnosis session, I now have beautiful, healthy nails. I feel proud and self-confident knowing that I am in control of my well-being. I highly recommend Robert Merlin for self esteem issues, positive self change, learning to forgive and let go issues, and nail biting. Every issue I have endeavored to change has been dealt with and resolved through hypnotherapy at the Merlin Centre.

Hypnotherapy has changed my life. Robert counseled with me to get to the root of my self-esteem issues. After finding the root cause, the hypnosis sessions were designed for my sub-conscience to awaken my conscience being. I feel so enlightened and empowered now. I used to think massages were the ultimate gift I could give myself to feel better but those results only lasted a few days and were primarily for my external being. Hypnotherapy is hands down the BEST gift I have ever given myself; I feel the results of these sessions every second of every day. I am more positive, happier with life and have much healthier relationships. I have and would highly recommend the Merlin Centre to anyone. Robert Merlin is highly qualified and such a genuine and kind person. He has helped change my life for the better.

Life Between Lives and Past Life Regression Testimonials
I have had three sessions. They've been very helpful! Two sessions were Between Lives or Past Life Regression. I appreciate that the sessions are recorded, so I can listen to them as often as needed. I value having this information and how it can benefit my life now. Several years prior to any of my sessions, I tried conventional medicine to resolve health issues. It was a very temporary fix, like putting a bandaid on a massive wound. The problems grew back within a few short years of medications and surgery even. My third session was to deal with stress and how I felt it was impacting my mindset and body. I'm generally rather laid back and joful but was growing increasingly frustrated dealing with the "adults" I worked with daily. My body was creating tumors and other ailments again to let me know some form of change was needed. Towards the end of the session, I noticed one tumor began shrinking. Within hours after the session, I noticed a second tumor began shrinking also. Since then, the smallest tumor has completely left my body. Also, I was able to start recalling pieces of dreams again. Unfortunately this session was not in office (as I moved half way across the U. S. about a year or so before this session), so I can't listen to it as needed. I am very interested in more sessions and would even like to take the training classes offered to help others along their paths, as well. Merlin was professional and courteous. He explained the process was and was interesting to talk with. I highly recommend using the Merlin Centre to help with you needs!

Overcoming Fears
I came to the Merlin Centre with the hope that I could get over my fear of flying. I had not flown alone in over 30 years. The in flight fear was real and debilitating to me. I only flew on a plane if it was an emergency. After my sessions I had an emerging confidence that grew stronger every day that I could successfully fly again. Before my first flight , my pre-flight anxiousness was greatly reduced. My plane flight was also manageable, much better then ever before . I am now ready for my second flight and I am looking forward to it. I have had fantastic progress thanks to Robert Merlin and the Merlin Centre. I am now 2 times successful with hypnosis - Smoking and my Fear of Flying. Hypnosis works and I would recommend it to anyone who wants results.

Stress Reduction for Testing and Studying Testimonials
I was really worried about a big exam I had to take and I could not focus or retain what I was reading. I made an appointment at the Merlin Centre to see Robert Merlin. I was very confused, scared and worried before I went. I felt at ease as soon as I entered the office and met Robert. The office was inviting and the space was very positive and professional. After the relaxing sessions, I felt very confident, inspired, not scared at all, not worried anymore and I found it easier to study for the exam. My retainment and comprehension of the material was greatly improved. The hypnosis and the study techniques I was taught will help me now and in the future. I wish I had done this before! I now feel totally ready to take the test because I now feel more confident in myself and my new skills. This was a great thing I did for myself. If I have any more needs in the future I will not hesitate to call the Merlin Centre for help.
