“I’d been struggling for a number of years before I reached out to Todd three years ago. I would definitely say I had PTSD. I was suffering from incredible burnout, anxiety, depression, repetitive thoughts about betrayal. I had done talk therapy, EMDR, and other trauma work, which weren't that effective. I was still suffering from anxiety and fears, and I had so many complex traumatic issues that I didn't even know where to start. When I talked to Todd, he took time to really find out what my particular issues were. Todd was very compassionate the whole way. I didn't feel re-traumatized during the trauma work, which often I have felt in the past. Doing hypnosis and NLP with Todd was actually fun. I didn't have to go into detail about anything or hold any upsetting thoughts for very long. At first, I was feeling terrible from the thoughts I was having, and within minutes, I still had the thought or memory, but I didn't have the feeling attached to it, so I didn't feel the pain anymore. Once my thinking was balanced out, my experience just changed immediately. I had felt like fear was chasing me, and I've never felt that way since I did the hypnotherapy with Todd. It was incredibly transformative and life changing. The changes that I experienced have been permanent, so I consider it really successful and feel a lot of gratitude for the transformation that I've experienced in my life. I would really recommend him to anyone who wants to let go of their traumas and difficulties and pains, and things that you feel might be holding you back in your life.”

“I wish I found Gina sooner! After experiencing a traumatic loss, I was deep in grief and experiencing symptoms of PTSD that were preventing me from functioning at a healthy level in my daily life. I did months of traditional therapy, followed by a full round of EMDR. They both helped, but only to a point. I was still suffering every day. I knew there had to be another way, so I kept searching and eventually came across Gina and Todd’s videos and podcasts on YouTube. I knew she was exactly what I was seeking, so I booked with her right away. She did not disappoint! Through her innovative (and dare I say fun?) techniques, not only was I completely cleared of the residual PTSD symptoms, but the quality of my life as a whole increased in wonderful ways. In just a few key moments in our sessions, she was able to effectively clear what traditional therapy and EMDR could not clear in MONTHS. I genuinely wish the work with her had been my first course of action, because it would have saved me so much time and unnecessary suffering. I’m so grateful I found her. Gina absolutely has my whole-hearted, highest recommendation.” ❤️❤️❤️

“When I first saw Todd Goodwin in Miami in 2010, my priority was quitting smoking. We had three sessions scheduled, and after my first session, I no longer felt the urge to smoke. It was the easiest thing I'd ever done. But when the pandemic hit 10 years later, it was a very difficult time in my life, and all these things started to surface. At one point, my anxiety got so bad that I even started smoking again. That's when I realized there was a bigger underlying issue that we never addressed initially. The journey that we took together recently was the hardest inner work I've ever done, because it brought out pain and memories that I had pushed down for so long. But it is freeing work, and it is great work. One of the things that I loved most about the experience is just how fast your mindset and actions can change, and honestly, with very little willpower. It was actually quite fun! I stopped smoking almost immediately. I feel less anxious, sleep better, and have all the tools I need to make better choices. I feel in control of my life again for the first time since the pandemic. I was even surprised at how effective the Zoom sessions were. For me, there was no difference between doing them virtually vs. doing them in his office. I've done so many things in my life, and I've read A LOT of self-help books. But what Todd accomplished for me was hands down the most significant, most powerful experience, and I’m so grateful to him for everything he’s done to help me and improve my life.”

“When I was initially recommended hypnosis as a solution to my fears and grief, I was skeptical. My brother passed away 8 years ago and since then, I had been unable to cope with the loss. I had also developed an extreme fear of death. I had seen therapists, practiced yoga, all to no avail. Within two [hourly] sessions with Todd, I had already conquered my fear of death. Hypnosis allowed me to relax and gain perspective for a much more balanced and peaceful life. After completing all of my sessions, I had let go of the grief leftover from my brothers’ death and I had completely rid myself of my irrational fears. Being able to remember and celebrate my brother’s life instead of constantly grieving over his death has been such a blessing. I have so much positive energy flowing through me day-to-day. Hypnosis WORKS. Todd always made me feel so comfortable and he was truly a joy to work with. I can’t believe I suffered for 8 years and was able to so easily solve all of my issues within weeks. I cannot thank Todd enough!”

“As I had great emotional pain and PTSD from my physically and emotionally abusive ex-husband, it was destroying my life and my new beautiful relationship. I was seeing a psychologist, however after a year of sessions, I knew I needed something more. The first consultation with Gina Goodwin immediately gave me hope that I did not have to keep living with this any longer and can finally beat the monster and take my power back. It only took me 7 sessions to completely transform myself. My episodes of anxiety attacks that occurred with the abuse of alcohol were ruining my life, however Gina was able to help me overcome my emotional trauma with plenty of very unique tools. I now feel like I have “grown up”, I am confident, happy, I feel in control, and my relationship has transformed. I truly believe that there are so many people out there with several different issues and trauma in need of true healing, who after years of therapy and ton of money spent still feel helpless. Hypnosis therapy however is a way to really re-program yourself and unlearn unwanted emotions and behaviors completely! I cannot thank Gina enough for all the help and understanding on top of simply being an amazing and fun person 🙂 I am excited now for my future!”

Before I met Todd Goodwin, I was dealing with a trauma that was affecting my personal life. I was really shy and scared to communicate with people and just be around people. I was very, very anxious. I had gone through talk therapy for probably a year and didn't see anything change. I was able to talk about the situation, and they were able to tell me what was wrong with me but didn't know how to fix it. I worked with Todd via Zoom. The experience was amazing. It was a great experience working with him, more than anything because he's just so understanding and caring. I used to look in the mirror and would think how ugly I was because of the shame and regret that I felt because of the trauma that I went through. But after going through the sessions with Todd, it's completely different. I love myself, and I'm very grateful to even be alive now. Before, I would constantly think about how I could just end it all and not be here anymore, and I was just very sad in my own little world. But now I feel there is hope and a lot of opportunities out there. I'm very grateful to have come across him and really do recommend him. It changed my life forever!!!!

“I went to see Todd for grief/acceptance over the death of my mother. She passed away from cancer, and if anyone has ever gone through this with someone they love, they are all too familiar with what I am about to say. I cried almost on a daily basis once she was gone… and realized it had kept up for over 2 years. I was constantly fighting back tears, constantly fighting horrible images and getting flashbacks every single day and night. My nights were restless, and the stress in my life was on overload. I had no energy to do anything because this was draining me. It was starting to affect my job, and my health. The sadness and longing was literally manifesting physically with spasms and headaches, to name a few. I realized I needed help.
Being a holistic person, I was not sure where to turn. I met Todd, and felt so comfortable telling him everything going on. I do not believe I would have spilled my guts and cried like I did to a conventional therapist/psychologist. Not once did I feel like he was judging me, he truly listens and wants to help. My life has completely turned around!! After a few sessions with him, I felt like the world around me was transforming before my eyes, when in reality it was ME who was transforming. Before, I had to fight to keep haunting images OUT of my head, and fighting tears every day for two years… and now, I have to fight to try to even PICTURE those haunting images, let alone cry.
WOW!!! I can finally breathe again!! This has given me a greater understanding to it all. My stress levels have gone down, my eating habits are changing, and I am able to sleep without sleep aids. Most importantly, I am able to remember her as happy and healthy and I am able to finally smile when I think of her now, or whenever I see a picture of her. I cannot thank him enough.”
