I'm finding the experience to be truly life changing

“Hypnosis has a big fan, me!   Thanks to Margot Schelew's invitational yet highly informed and skillful approach, I'm finding the experience to be truly life changing in a positive manner.   Under Margot's compassionate and expert guidance I explore answering goal-setting questions recommended by the National Guild of Hypnotists (the governing body) which provides the basis of my personal profile for each session.   So in effect, I'm directly involved in deciding the areas of interest for the session.  At all times Margot demonstrates great care and patience in clearly explaining every aspect of the hypnosis.  By the time I enter into hypnosis I feel relaxed, confident and safe.  In short, I trust Margot to guide me through hypnosis.  It is trust well placed. In fact, I now eagerly look forward to exploring further areas of growth and improvement under hypnosis.  I am steadily becoming the best version of myself ...how wonderful and exciting is that?”

I now have a way to manage my weight that is almost effortless

I started on Hypnosis in the City's Weight Management program early in January 2015. Margot told me that I could eat and drink whatever I wanted, and have as much as I wanted. This program is more about weight management than it is about weight loss. An enormous weight seemed to drop from my shoulders upon hearing those words. Following this program has helped me move towards my desired weight in a healthy way. I did virtually every weight loss program going, but over the years my weight continued to creep up. It seems to me that when I'm on a diet I'm constantly thinking about food - what to eat, and if it is okay to snack, etc. Through positive suggestions in hypnosis, I have been able to avoid the foods that I craved, which helped me to make healthier choices. With Hypnosis in the City's Weight Management program I didn't need to weigh myself; I could tell that pounds were dropping away by the way my clothes fit. At no time was my actual weight discussed. We did talk about the level of exercise I'd be comfortable with and I committed to exercise six days a week. On my final appointment, I had a choice to weigh myself or not. That being said, I did weigh myself and was extremely satisfied with my progress. I still have a long way to go, but believe that I now have a way to manage my weight that is almost effortless. I would strongly urge anyone who has struggled with weight loss to try Hypnosis in the City's Weight Management program. You will be amazed at what you're capable of. Margot's support and encouragement is invaluable. MH, Halifax, NS

Margot lowered my stress significantly

Working with Margot lowered my stress significantly and made me feel calm and positive throughout my In Vitro Fertilization treatment. We did a couple of hypnosis sessions before the embryo transfer so I would be comfortable with being hypnotized and know that the deep state of relaxation experienced in hypnosis is quite enjoyable and natural. Being hypnotized during the embryo transfer was a positive experience not just for me but for my husband and the medical professionals attending to me. I continue to feel relaxed and centered as I move into my pregnancy.

Her teaching style is a blend of challenge, support, care, humour and nurturing

Yoga has become a very important part of my life and enhanced it in many ways and I attribute most of this to Margot. Her teaching style is a blend of challenge, support, care, humour and nurturing, not necessarily in that order. Margot's home studio is a nice size and space and one always feels very welcome. She also has a great supply of props. I have been practicing yoga with Margot for about 6 years now and it never feels routine. She is always keeping it fresh with new poses, music and ideas. I highly recommend the Yin class, thank you Margot.

Yoga in the middle of the day left me revitalized for the afternoon

In a busy work day, it is all too easy to work through lunch and rarely leave your desk. Having a yoga session with Margot in the middle of the day was a welcome break that was relaxing, yet left me revitalized for the afternoon. If only we could have these sessions everyday!

Yoga was the perfect way to slow down, reflect, and take a moment for myself

Margot taught a special yoga class the morning of my wedding day. The sun was shining on our warm faces and the river was running by full of life in front of us. I was surrounded by close friends and family. Yoga was the perfect way to slow down, reflect, and take a moment for myself on a very busy and exciting day! It allowed me to relax so I could focus on the rest of my day feeling rejuvenated. The feeling I get when I leave my mat is the reason I practice yoga regularly. No matter what kind of day I'm having, yoga always gives me the break and mental reset I need.

She always has lots energy and enthusiasm

I find yoga is an excellent way to build strength and flexibility. It differs from other forms of exercise such as weight training or stretching, because it has the added benefit of good breathing techniques. Breathing with awareness while doing yoga, teaches your body to keep breathing while doing hard things. We can apply this to anything difficult in life. I enjoy doing yoga with Margot as she always has lots energy and enthusiasm. She brings something new to each class such as proper alignment for a particular pose and reminds us to express our gratitude daily.

Labour and birth...are something we are equipped to do naturally

HypnoBirthing gave me the tools to not only allow for a calm and relaxing labour, but to be calm and relaxed in the preparation as well. The message of HypnoBirthing for me was that labour and birth are not something that happens to women, but rather, they are something we are equipped to do naturally.
