I absolutely love working with Rochelle. She has such a gentle spirit and open heart. Sessions with her are much more like talking with a friend who helps guide you into healthy thinking than a counseling session (though that type of therapy has it’s place too). In the several months that I’ve been working with her, I have grown, healed, and matured in ways that I previously would have said were impossible to achieve, at least without years and years of therapy (I’ve been there, I know). You can tell she genuinely cares, and it is this caring spirit that helps move you to a place of peace. When I met her I was emotionally broken and nearly despondent, but now, thanks to her friendly counsel and her masterful use of hypnosis, I am actually able to live my life. But not just live it, enjoy it! She helped me, through her openness, open my heart and truly begin to heal from a lifetime of trauma, heartache and depression. Certainly it took work on my part, but her clear thinking and insightful guidance helped me to see past the trauma and the heartache and become much more of the person that I have always wanted to be. I will always appreciate the good she has done for me, and I hope that one day you can experience that as well.

Nothing prepares you for the loss of someone close, even when you see them deteriorate gradually. All my projects came to a halt, as did classes to help the family take care of the dying family member. It’s emotionally debilitating to watch someone who helped to raise you not be able to walk, roll over in bed for simple comfort, hold a glass, and perform other normal daily living functions so many of us take for granted. After several months, the family member made their transition; family roles shifted, and I was not ready for this. There were other shifts—too many to deal with at that time. In addition, I neglected myself emotionally, appearance-wise, and in other ways. After taking time to research the subject, it was time to connect with a therapist. After the death of my family member, I was ready for a change and needed to focus on myself and my personal mental and physical wellness. After seeing a Google ad for Joy Mind, I did some research and started my journey. They were fast to respond, and Amy was my contact. Thereafter, I purchased a therapy package of six sessions. During the first session, I listened closely and expressed my goal; toward the end of the session, the actual hypnotherapy came into play. Relaxing into a solution is certainly welcomed; the whole process was soothing and calm. After the hypnotherapy, Rochelle’s team sent a copy of the session to me via email for my future reference. To date, I have copies of all my sessions. Not once did I ever think that hypnotherapy would magically make everything disappear overnight or even in a month. For me, there was work to do. You don’t always know what core issues inspire chain reactions of any kind in your life. It was time to jump in and deal with things. Each session brought new growth in a desired direction. For me, there were times when I had to stop and do the emotional work on my end. This is part of my process. **Rochelle’s soothing voice and reasonability make hypnotherapy approachable and effective. During therapy, I took time to identify the issues addressed in sessions and wrote them down in order to further explore these situations. This helped me identify more of where I want to go. After each session, I unpacked situations, emotions, and energies attached to those situations, documented them for the coming session, and entered the next session ready to grow. During each session, I shared my desired growth direction with Rochelle, and we moved forward. Months after the sessions ended, I’m still reminded of my personal growth. Managing situations that once agitated me is simpler. My mind is more geared toward personal wellness. Highly professional and well documented, each session is an exploration deeply into your personal self. This is one experience where you can genuinely trust the process, see changes, and recognize growth. There’s nothing pretentious or scary about the Joy Mind process. This process is professional, soothing, and effective. If you’re thinking about hypnotherapy, this is a great way to go.
