Testimonials about David as a Hypnotist and Hypnosis Trainer:

Arthur Dean DMD Periodontist:

I can give the strongest recommendation for David Chandler’s Hypnosis Course. He is an excellent teacher, and the material is fascinating. He made the material very understandable. I looked forward to every session and put what I learned into use in my practice as a dentist.

With love and light from Elaine J: LMT

I feel very honored to say that David Chandler has been my hypnosis teacher. David created

an environment rich with stories of how hypnosis has successfully helped people with a vast

variety of issues as well as an in depth education of the history of hypnosis and step by step

instructions on how to be the best practitioner you can be. There were opportunities to practice

hypnosis with classmates and invited guests all the while being gently critiqued so we could reach

our highest potential for our future clients. I highly recommend David as a teacher and Hypnotist!

With gratitude from Bill:

I recently decided to have an hypnosis session with David to help me stop drinking. I had heard

of people using hypnosis to quit smoking and figured I'd give it a shot. After the session I felt

wonderful-more connected and alive than I had for as long as I can remember. For the first time

in my life I felt free! About a month after my session I had a dream. I was dreaming of the

type of situation I used to love-a smoke filled room with candle light, good food, soft music,

and glasses of red wine. As I took in the scene, savoring the rich atmosphere, I heard a clear

strong voice that came from my subconscious stating, "I don't drink anymore". It was a very

powerful moment for me. I realized the impact of the session had gone deep. I haven't had a drink

since that session. I am now comfortable with who I am--I wasn't before. I'm happy, free, and

excited about my life. I can't thank David enough for his help.

It was suggested to David by his instructor that as a newly certified hypnotist, he offer a number of

free hypnosis sessions. Natalie traveled from Colorado to receive one of those sessions.

Here's what she has to say about her experience:

I am AMAZING!!!!! I cannot thank you enough! David changed my life. Without his help, I am 100%

positive that I'd still be plagued with an uncontrollable phobic reaction to an ordinary painted face.

I test myself and even point out the clowns I do see and say "oh my, that would have had me on the

ground for 30 minutes and jolted me for the rest of the day"-even my friends can't believe the

transformation. They've grabbed images off the internet through their smart phones to test me on

the spot, over dinner at my apt, getting drinks....it is truly a liberating feeling to not have ANY FEAR!

I spoke to a psychotherapist who deals with obsessive-compulsive disorders and she guided me

away from hypnotic suggestion stating there was no clinical data supporting its effectiveness. I

wrote her back and told her I did go and I was relieved of years of Terror in the first 20 minutes of

the session-she thought it was outstanding!!! I spoke to a therapist "off the cuff" at work one day,

explained what David was able to do for me...By "suggesting" my memory (the root cause of my

phobia" of my brother's prank be a calmer and less alarming memory with playful intentions instead

of the alarming scary memory that it was-I quickly felt the undue burden lift from my memories.

I asked the therapist "have you ever cured anyone of a phobia"? He said, " I have a few times, but

it takes a lot longer than 20 minutes. I need to make some money too."

What David did for me was soooo helpful, so unbelievably kind and generous-I can't thank him

enough. He did it out of the goodness of his heart, his intrinsic compassion healing my

wounded self.

Blaze Schwaller, Intuitive Life Coach:

I couldn't be happier with the results of my hypnosis with David!

When I arrived for my session, I was scared to drive further than 10-15 minutes away, just driving

to the session was a hurdle.

I was afraid to handle highway traffic and I had to psych myself up to get in the car even to get

groceries down the hill. My trust in driving, other drivers and road conditions was at an all time low.

I knew it was no way to live. Something had to change.

In only one session, David helped me reset my emotional and logical responses to driving, returning

me to the confidence I had felt decades earlier, before the car accident triggered my phobia.

I drove away from that session a free woman! I can now drive confidently, calmly and even joyfully

anywhere I choose. I have my life back.

Thank you David! I cannot recommend your services more highly!

With gratitude from Sally:

David's healing gifts touch me deeply. The session we had was astounding. His skill, insight,

sensitivity, quality of expression and perception were so impressive and took me to a place I

never expected. The realization and understanding he helped me achieve have transformed me,

my vision of who I am and what I am capable of being. And in such a subtle but dramatic way,

I feel more at ease yet more empowered. I am incredibly grateful.

Mindfulness Meditation Facilitator

Trained and Certified by Dr. Deborah Norris, PhD of the Mindfulness Center, David teaches Mindfulness Meditation as a complementary healing practice for all ages. Mindfulness is the practice of bringing one's attention to the internal and external experiences occurring in the present moment. Evidence supports the use of mindfulness programs to alleviate symptoms of a variety of mental and physical disorders. Mindfulness meditation has been connected to favorable structural changes in the brain, including prevention or delay in the onset of dementia. Mindfulness Meditation is unique in that it is not directed toward getting us to be different from how we already are. Instead, it helps us become aware of what is already true, moment by moment; to be present with whatever is happening, no matter what it is. Mindful meditation is a great way to increase focus, decrease stress, stimulate your creativity and is appropriate for all ages.
