WHY SETTLE FOR STRESS AND ANXIETY BEING YOUR “NORMAL”?

What Clients Are Saying

Real experiences. Real transformation. 125 five-star reviews.

These reviews were collected over years of practice through Genbook, a verified booking platform. Every word below belongs to a real client who trusted me with their inner world — and chose to share their experience.

I share them here because when you're considering this kind of work, hearing from someone who's been exactly where you are matters more than anything I could say myself.

 

✦  Voices That Say It Best

"I feel reborn. I had chronic/incurable pain so debilitating I couldn't wear regular clothes. After only a few sessions, most of my pain is gone. I've had general anxiety for over 30 years — this is also mostly gone. Like 'poof' — it just went away."

"After years and years of therapy, it's refreshing to find something that produces real progress quickly, simply, and with ease. I tried hypnosis as an end-of-my-rope effort — and I wish I had started there."

🔓  Feeling Stuck, Procrastination & Getting Unstuck

For high achievers who know what they want but can't seem to get there — this theme shows up again and again.

"Achieving Clarity, Getting Unstuck, Moving Forward"

I get stuck and block my own progress. My insecurities manifest as anxiety, over planning, perfectionism, self doubt & life distractions. I came initially 4 years ago for weight loss, and left losing the self-defeating behavior that weighs me down. Returned to continue my personal investment with Shalynn to help get my head & heart in sync; making progress, moving forward.

— Audra McCoy  ★★★★★

 

"Finding Myself Again!"

Shalynn has been absolutely wonderful! I came in with a specific set of areas where I wanted to make improvements. She helped me identify the root causes of many of my issues and then layered in hypnosis to start to re-wire my thinking. I cannot wait for next time. Highly recommend!

— Aaron A  ★★★★★

 

"The Power To Choose"

As we talked, she helped me realize that the issues mostly stemmed from my own self image and the way I see my world. After the hypnosis I began to feel energized and empowered. I can choose what thoughts I entertain and what thoughts I act upon.

— J.D.  ★★★★★

 

"Switching the Script"

Shalynn is a deep listener, completely in the moment with you, has an intuitive talent of asking all the right questions. My intent was to replace old ways of thinking that were working counter-productive to the life I'd like to live. Thanks to Shalynn, my goals are becoming reality.

— Lauren H  ★★★★★

🌿  Anxiety, Stress & Finding Peace

"Stress and Anxiety"

Ms. Flavell did something for me that no one else has — she gave me the tools to change. She gave me a few simple but effective tools for retraining the way my brain was handling changes in my life. She used my words, my version of happiness for myself, to help me have freedom to grow right as I was sitting with her and every moment afterwards.

— Lilly  ★★★★★

 

"Helped Me Find Inner Peace"

Shalynn has helped me find relief from anxiety that has been troubling me for years. I have never had experience with hypnotherapy before, and she made me comfortable with the process.

— Curt D  ★★★★★

 

"Changing Perspective"

Working with Shalynn has made me look at anxieties, stress and challenging periods in my life in a completely different way. She truly gets to the heart of what is going on and has been a source of great support. I highly recommend her to anyone going through difficult times looking for a fresh perspective.

— C.S.  ★★★★★

 

"The Second Best Money I Ever Spent"

Anti-depressants worked for about nine years, then stopped. My life became a series of panic attacks. Long story short, my first session with Shalynn brought the full-on panic attacks to a stop! I have had five sessions now and we are down to just working on little tweaks such as diet and exercise.

— Rick S  ★★★★★

🌱  Weight Management, Food & Habit Change

Weight loss was on my mind when I stepped into Shalynn's office a year ago. Since then, I have dropped 20 pounds and a TON of other baggage I had been carrying around for a decade. Shalynn has an amazing, positive & compassionate way about her. She is a great guide to help you help yourself.

— Brandee S  ★★★★★

 

"Shalynn's Method Works"

I've struggled with food cravings and compulsive overeating for most of my life, and nothing has ever helped.

🔍  From Skeptic to Believer

Some of the most powerful testimonials come from people who almost didn't come at all.

"From Skeptic to Believer"

Preconceived notions of both therapy and hypnosis caused me to put off meeting Shalynn. My initial conversation was both informative and calming. She helped me listen to myself.

"Can't Say Enough Good Things"

Prior to even meeting with Shalynn, I was very skeptical of the process. I emailed about my hesitations and she really addressed everything thoughtfully, in detail, and in good time. I feel I am on the right path after 5 visits. Worth the investment for me!

— TW  ★★★★★

 

"True Hypnosis"

Shalynn immediately cut through any nonsense surrounding hypnosis and dove straight into the mechanisms of the conscious/unconscious mind. Her confident explanations instilled me with trust and receptivity. Will definitely return!

"Shalynn Helped Me with Sleep Problems"

I've had sleep problems for years and have tried EVERYTHING. My doctor suggested I give Shalynn a try. I was skeptical but thought why not?

So glad I met her.
