"Sessions with Joshua were very relaxing and a positive experience."
Michael Levitin Houston, Texas
"I was very impressed with the results and have been able to share
my goals with others who could use the benefits as well."
Russell J. Guidry Sr. Houston, Texas
"Through the use of hypnosis, I was able to lose 10 pounds. The
sessions were relaxing and enjoyable and I looked forward to them each
week. Talking with Joshua Syna helped me learn a lot about why I ate
too much. I found myself eating less and less and reducing weight steadily.
I never felt deprived or hungry and even looked forward to exercising.
In addition, I felt more relaxed throughout the week. I would recommend
hypnosis to anyone who has struggled to lose weight or wonders why they
consistently gain weight after dieting."
Charlotte Chatelain Houston, Texas
"I was treated to stop smoking (1 pack per day). I have had no
desire to smoke since. Actually, the thought of being around smoke makes
me sick."
David Rasp Houston, Texas
"Stress was reduced by using the techniques used and taught. Refocusing
on problems and the options help with sleep patterns; make a choice and
move on; strive to eliminate procrastination!"
Peggy Strong Houston, Texas
I’ve always been apprehensive about dental work – okay, “fear” is the
proper description. So when I needed to have a root canal, I knew I
was in for a bout of real pain followed by extreme agony. I asked Joshua
if there was anything he could do to help. I wasn’t sure it would work,
but it was worth a try. He gave me some instructions on how to handle
the fear, and I just followed them. It was pretty simple, and it worked!
I ended up having the entire root canal procedure (four roots “excavated”),
with absolutely no anesthesia and no pain. My dentist was astonished
because he knew what kind of trouble I had before. He kept saying, “Are
you sure you didn’t feel that?” I felt it, but it didn’t hurt. “No pain
dentistry,” I guess you could call it. Thanks, Joshua!

"I first decided to try hypnosis for weight loss after hearing of a woman who had gone to Joshua Syna. Hypnosis was the most peaceful and relaxing experience. I must say before my first experience I was a bit skeptical. I didn't think it would work. My experiences under hypnosis amazed me because I wasn't asleep and could recall what was said. Hypnosis helped me realize I often ate out of frustration or depression. In turn I also discovered many other things about myself...I was unhappy with my job and I rediscovered other things I liked to do. I've lost 13 lbs. and have 9lbs to go to reach my goal. I'm happier than I've been in a long time. I'll be forever grateful to Joshua and am planning on taking my college son to Joshua to help him with test anxiety. I am a believer in hypnosis and have begun to read more about it. Thank You, Joshua!"

"Hypnosis gave me relief in stressful situations. It enabled me to use what I learned to relax and calm myself during stressful situations from that time on. Hypnosis was the beginning of a pattern in my life of self-care."

My name is Ira Chorush. I began smoking when I was sixteen years old and
smoked about two and a half packs a day for 37 years. During that time,
I made dozens of attempts to quit, using acupuncture, the patch, gum, xyban,
and even cold turkey. No method ever succeeded for as much as a full day.
I avoided being in situations where I couldn't smoke; sporting events,
plays etc., or traveling by airplane. Since visiting Joshua Syna more than
four months ago, I have not smoked a single cigarette. Moreover, I have
had very few occasions on which I felt more than a mild urge to smoke and
even then the urge passed quickly. I regard Joshua's treatment as amazingly
effective. Joshua is willing to spend whatever time is necessary to achieve
his results. In my own case, he spent more than two hours with me. The
time I spent in hypnosis was relaxing and would have been worthwhile on
its own, but the result has surpassed my most wishful thinking; an (almost)
painless, stressless method for quitting smoking. I say "almost"
because some effort is required, but it is truly minimal. No one who truly
wants to stop smoking should fail to consult with Joshua. I recommend his
services wholeheartedly and with no reservations whatsoever."

"Joshua enabled me to strengthen my own ability to relax, concentrate, and control my urges to smoke, but also to control other urges like overeating, worrying, etc. I highly recommend hypnosis for anyone that needs to get in touch with themselves and strengthen their will power."
Joanna P. Yates Houston, Texas
"I went to Joshua for 2 months. I am a Realtor and find the stress can be overwhelming at times. The benefit of hypnosis for me was like cleaning out the cobwebs. I was able to focus more and be much more productive with my time. I felt a peace that, even though the world around me was chaotic, I was better able to focus on the issues and handle them without stress. My priorities seemed to be better aligned. I had always been anxious about driving in Houston traffic. My heart would pound, the anxiety would mount, and many times I would be in tears. I would normally avoid driving in Houston by myself. After only one session, I can drive in the Houston traffic without the intense fear I felt before."
Judy Bell The Woodlands, Texas
"My name is Kathleen S. Ford. Four years ago I was desperately seeking help to stop smoking. I was looking through the phone book and found Joshua. At that time the only exposure I had to hypnosis was on the television, movies, etc. I called him on that day, and he sent me a brochure. I later went in for my first visit. This was Oct. 28, 1994 the first day of my new life as a Non Smoker. On this day, after 33 years of smoking at least 2 1/2 to 3 packs per day, I was free. A couple of weeks went by and I called Joshua feeling a little scared I might slip back. I went in for another visit to assist my stop smoking campaign. Since then I visit the Transformation and Empowerment Center at least 4 times per year to deal with other problems. It has helped me in so many ways. I haven't smoked for almost 4 years. Hypnosis has helped me in other ways as well. Such as dealing with stress management, personal problems such as depression, and a sleep disorder. Two years ago my granddaughter Brittany, an eight year old with the unconscious habit of sucking her fingers in her sleep, was brought to Joshua for help. She had to sleep with wool gloves on and the dentist had made a terrible contraption for her to put on while she slept. After spending much money, time, and effort we all felt as though this problem was hopeless. I mentioned Brittany to Joshua and we later made an appointment. After only one visit Brittany was also free from her prison as well. Before I thought I could never be a candidate for hypnosis because I am very stubborn and strong willed. I actually thought I couldn't be hypnotized. Much to my surprise hypnosis has become another tool I have acquired for dealing with life's problems. I am very thankful for this gift Joshua has introduced to me and my family. May you be blessed with the same success I have had for the last four years."

"I made an appointment
with Joshua because I needed to lose weight. I also had so much stress going. I am a realtor and own and operate a property management company that is completely separate from my real estate brokerage. My husband and I worked together, we had just built a new home and after we moved in, the flood of '94 came in our brand new 3100 sq. ft. home and we didn't have any flood insurance. It caused $50,000 worth of damage. When I'm stressed and depressed, I eat. The night before my appointment with Joshua, my husband of 34 years left me because he wanted to run away from our problems. Joshua not only helped me lose weight, but was one of the wisest counselors I've ever come across. He didn't charge by the hour as all of my past counselors and therapists did, but by the session. It was the same charge no matter how long we talked, including time before the hypnosis session. He sincerely cares about you and gives you a different perspective to try. I felt so relaxed and calm after our hypnosis sessions. I highly recommend Joshua to anyone wanting to try hypnosis for their problems, whether it's overeating, drinking, smoking, or just stress from your fast pace life."

"I first decided to try hypnosis because I was so stressed out that I just wanted to die. Nothing else seemed to help so I decided try hypnosis as a last resort. I was astounded at how much better I felt after just one visit!!! After about three visits I was finally relieved of a lifetime of stress and tension. I realized that I had actually never been relaxed before in my life!!! It made such a difference in my attitude that people were asking me what I had done. Needless to say, they wanted to try hypnosis too! And they always seemed to experience positive results, sometimes astonishingly so. I cannot tell you how or why hypnosis works, all that I can tell you is that it does work! I also used hypnosis for weight loss and lost a total of about twenty pounds with no effort on my part at all. It was the easiest "diet" I had ever been on. I wholeheartedly recommend this procedure to anyone interested in feeling good both mentally and physically."
Mary Andrews Zurovec

"I have been smoking for a long time, about 18
years. And then I went to a stop smoking session with Joshua and did not want to smoke then after. After my session when I saw someone smoking I did not want to smoke! I also went through hypnosis for relaxation and it helped me a lot!. I felt suddenly relaxed and happy after the session. This program really works!"
Mohammed Hussain

"When I first came to the Transformation and Empowerment Center I had been diagnosed with adult onset diabetes. I was also suffering from impotence, partly as a result of the diabetes, and partly from the fear and humiliation that had resulted from the impotence. It was difficult for me, at first, to accept that my diabetes, and the resulting impotence could be helped by hypnotism. But after a few sessions, I noticed an improvement in my symptoms and with continued use of the techniques and suggestions that I was given, I now am no longer using the sugar control medication, that I was told by my doctor that I would need for the rest of my life (my sugar level is now normal ), and I now have normal erections and my overall heath has improved dramatically. I feel better than I ever have and my life has turned around so much that I feel like a new person. I, my companion, and my family are forever in your debt. Thank you, Joshua for giving me my life back!"
Rick Andrews Houston, Texas
" I feel better about me. I was willing to remain on a better health
program after a session. When you realize it's not the food that solves
the problem-only I can solve it."
Sandy Shear Houston, Texas
"I went to Joshua with a series of health challenges, but I was more
interested in getting help on my ability to putt. After two sessions, my
ability on the golf course has been incredible. My attitude and ability to
relax has been phenomenal. I have seen Joshua on several occasions to
remedy those things in my life that need attention. I believe so much in
his work that I have sent several friends and business associates to visit
him"
Randy C. Fletcher

"The result that I have gotten from the Transformation and Empowerment
Center fit under the category of Miraculous. I am still in this process
and already have seen amazing results. The first thing that we tackled
was weight. I am now 25 pounds closer to my weight goal and do not diet
or struggle with eating mouse size portions. I now just eat when I am hungry
and naturally stop when I am full even when it's food that I really like
and would have overeaten on before. I have also learned that the food that
you eat has nothing to do with how much you weigh. I was one of the people
that could eat 900 calories per day, work out 4 times per week for six
weeks straight and not cheat and gain weight. The reason for this weight
gain, even through dieting was that I was allergic to more than 250 foods,
(that's when we stopped counting). When I would eat the food my whole body
swell, I would get welts, my skin would burn and my shoulder muscles would
tighten to a painful level. In one day I could gain 20-25 pounds. In the
last week I have eaten anything I wanted and have not swelled at all. The
hives/welts are gone and the burning sensation in my hands comes and is
gone within 10 minutes. It used to be 2-3 days. I am also sure that this
symptom will leave soon. The best part is getting rid of Lupus. A disease
that I have been fighting for 15 years plus is now completely gone. No
more fatigue, no kidney pain. My thinking power is no longer foggy, trying
to remember what to say. No more joint and muscle pain. It¹s all just gone!
This was not a short process, although for some people it is, everyone
is different. For me I had exhausted everything else so I had no other
options. I had to learn to relax and stick with it no matter how long it
took. The results have paid off. As soon as we restore my organs to normal
functionality, which is absolutely possible. I am going to do some really
fun stuff like creating lots of money, and creating an even better sexual
relationship with my husband. There are only three things that you have
to do in order to make this work, and I am living proof of this. You have
to want the results, your spouse can't want them for you. You have to be
committed to the result. You have to come to a realization that you created
the problem in your body and mind, and you have to show up faithfully to
do the work, even when you think it's not working, the changes are small,
sometimes at first, and then they get big all of a sudden. Oh I keep remembering
that everyone is different. Joshua is wonderful. He is a person that's
out to have you win and he really cares about people. He has a special
gift and I thank God that I have had the opportunity to do this work with
him that has healed my mind and body."
Kelly Gore-Kauffman Spring, Texas
"To whom it may concern, In my entire life I have never endorsed someone's
practices or beliefs as everyone has their own opinion or concerns about
everything. In this case I was asked and had no problem about giving my
endorsement and report of hypnosis session with Joshua Syna. I was a smoker
for 32-33 years and for the last 10 or so of those years, was a 2.5-3 pack
a day smoker. I had tried almost everything and every gimmick to quit smoking
in the past. Mr. Syna was recommended to me by two friends of mine who
were also die-hard smokers whom Joshua had cured of the problem. I figured
that I was a such a die-hard that I needed more than Joshua had to offer,
so I took Zyban pills and set up my hypnosis session on the same day as
my quit date on the pills. I stopped taking the pills 1 week after my session.
The hypnosis left a constant reminder of keeping myself healthy and smoke
free. It was by far the easiest experience that I had ever had in trying
to quit. It has now been 15 months and I haven't smoked since my session.
So based on my experience I would highly recommend Joshua Syna's services."
Johnny Sellers Houston, Texas
"A few years ago I found myself feeling discouraged about my weight - I had
gained 12 pounds over the course of 5 years and could not seem to
successfully diet. I supposed it was pre-menopause because in my thirty¹s
dieting worked for me. I thought about diet pills, but shied away from
that and decided to try hypnosis. Not only did I lose those 12 pounds, but
I found myself feeling more relaxed, happier and spiritually renewed.
Hypnosis taught me to be more aware of when I am full and I choose more
healthy foods naturally today. Joshua Syna is a very caring practitioner
and a man who tries hard to make a positive difference."
Flo Newman The Woodlands, Texas
"My son had an emotional breakdown at age 4. Over the next 4 years,
over $250,000 was spent on his mental healthcare. We went through 5 insurance
policies and United Way helped us. It didn¹t help at all. Though my son
had a high IQ, he had a lot of problems in school and was almost held back
in the second grade. Fate brought us to Joshua. Just 3 sessions changed
our lives. My son is healthy and emotionally stable. He is in advanced
classes in the 8th grade and has many friends. Hypnosis worked very quickly
for us and the effects were apparantly permanent (4 years). Thank you,
Josh! We love you."

"I recently met you at a business breakfast and was impressed with
your subject. I quit smoking over 25 years ago and recently began smoking
cigars and cigarettes. I came to you the first week in July 1999 and after
one and a half hours walked out of our session and HAVE NOT HAD AN URGE
TO SMOKE any more. I can't tell you how impressed I am. Thank you so much
for your help."
