A great Experience From start to finish, Maddy was a pleasure to work with and really challenged my way of thinking I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to anybody.

Report
I attended a quite smoking hypnosis session in Swindon. I am still smoking regrettably after 180. All that is actually offered is a form of counciling and a mindfulness listening experience, unfortunately doesn't even mention not smoking, as I was informed the smoking audio is a bit out of date.... No wonder you don't need a consultation prior to this, if you did then you would not part with your money. After complaining in several emails, I was offered a free session, which I declined as I have no trust in the company. I would have been happy to received a partial refund but this was out
