 "Thank you, Michael, for assisting me with smoking cessation, an on and off habit I thought relieved my stress and anxiety. Your telephone consultation was informative, comfortable, and reassuring. You made me realize it was a habit I could overcome! I knew after that conversation that I would be able to become a non-smoker with your assistance. Your office was professional and comfortable. I am thrilled to say I have not smoked since our session, and I am now able to call myself a non-smoker and feeling better about it as each day passes. Amazing results, thanks again!! - Stacy

"Hi, just wanted to let you know I haven't had a cigarette since our session. The hypnosis really helped cut my cravings out and that has been amazing! Almost unbelievable! I had been having pretty strong daily cravings and now they are gone." - Ashira 

 "I am beyond amazed that I am truly a non smoker and  that it has been done without any withdrawal symptoms. It just doesn't cross my mind to smoke, a few times I have thought that this is when I would smoke but never with a thought to actually smoke. I wish I had seen you years ago but as you said I had to be ready.  I can't thank you enough for the positive change you have made in my life." - Peg 

" Michael is an incredible hypnotist! Not only was he very professional and kind, but he is very well acknowledged and accredited in the practice of hypnosis by his colleagues. We spent time together before our session talking about the past and working on the foundation of my negative habit that I wanted to let go of. He thoroughly explained the science of hypnosis and his expertise in the field. I would HIGHLY recommend Michael to anyone who is looking to make a LASTING change in their lives and let their mind take charge. Michael has helped me shake a lifelong negative habit and I am very grateful I came to see him." - Chris 

 With the parting words, "You got this," I exited my first-ever hypnosis experience. I had an appointment to prepare me for the high anxiety experience of claustrophobia that would result from 60 minutes in an MRI machine the next day. I believed it would help after my brother, a psychologist, encouraged me to go. I had no idea how much it would help. "I got this' was the right attitude. Hypnosis with Mike Salerno was the vital tool. Things could not have gone better. - John

" I had been dealing with compulsive hair-pulling for 7 years and nothing had helped me long term. I reached out to Mike and after one consultation and one session the urges I was feeling had lessened an incredible amount. After the session he had me re-listen to a pre-recorded taping of the session for a few weeks which really helped me keep a good mindset and to stay strong when urges did come up ." - Abigail 

"I came to see Mike about my sugar addiction and late night junk food cravings. I’m so glad I did! I began the journey on September 11 and have lost 11lbs so far. I have a loose goal of 30lbs and am enjoying the journey. Mike taught me to see the sugar and cravings differently through a relaxing process. I now grocery shop, walk through the bakery and have no desire to buy my usual junk foods. Nor do I feel sad or guilty or otherwise, I see those foods as neutral. I can have them if I want but happily, I have no desire for them. I felt very comfortable working with Mike and will definitely return to work with him on other things." - Greg 

"Mike was able to help me overcome a lifelong issue I have with overeating. I treated every meal like it was going to be forever until my next, so I ate until I was stuffed. Through this process Mike has helped me overcome that need. He helped me with portion control and knowing when I ate enough and knowing when to stop, while still enjoying what I was eating rather than eating until I was past full. I am looking forward to eating right and achieving the weight loss I have set for myself. Mike's help will definitely get me there and I'll never go back to my former shape. If you are looking for help to overcome an issue that you have struggled with, this can definitely help. Thanks Mike! " - Dane

“This note to thank you has been on my mind since I came home from the hospital. The work that we did gave me the tools to go into and through this difficult operation with a clear and focused mind and with a positive relaxed outlook on the future.  I am so happy to let you know everything went better than ever expected.  I was scheduled to be in the hospital for at least a week, but I was physically ready to go home after just five days.  I kept your audio on my phone and used it to relax me every day before and after surgery.  I was so comforted and clear in my heart and mind with your coaching.  It truly amazed me how everything I experienced was so positive throughout the whole journey to where I now am. I can't express enough how glad I am that I went into this with the positive focus you helped me achieve.  I highly recommend your hypnosis session as a must for anyone facing any medical challenge especially surgery.  I truly felt a relaxed mind was the driving force behind such positive healing.” – Ann-Marie

“Michael is awesome! He clearly explained what to expect about the hypnosis process. He takes a genuine interest in his clients and builds his sessions to their specific situation. I have been smoke-free since immediately after our first session!” – Laura 

“My fear of darkness came on quite suddenly last fall. I couldn’t rationalize any reason for my total panic as nightfall descended. I would draw all my drapes, pull all my blinds shut, and put on every outside light. Mike worked with me and In just one session, I was able to clearly identify my anxiety and release it within my subconscious. The very next evening, I noticed I hadn’t even given the approaching darkness another thought and still don’t and it’s six months later. I’m very appreciative of Mike’s professionalism and expertise. He confidently approached my FEARS and was able to access where they began and helped me move forward. I will always be appreciative.” ​– Pat

“Every day I feel stronger in my life as a non-smoker. It sometimes feels as if I never was a smoker. Either way, I feel great and I am so happy that I did hypnosis with you. Thank you for changing my life and for guiding me through that experience. I am eternally grateful. You have changed my life!” – Robyn

“I had a three hypnosis sessions with Mr. Salerno.  I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was open to the experience.  Mr. Salerno made me feel comfortable and relaxed, which helped in the sessions. I was surprised at how much better I felt after each session. The sessions help me to forgive myself and others, and created a better sense of self.”  – Joan

“ I made an appointment with Michael for a session to quit smoking after 32 years. I was quite skeptical. However, after one two hour session I left his office with no desire to smoke. The following morning I had one craving that lasted several seconds. That session was a month and a half ago and I have not smoked since seeing him nor have I had any cravings or desire.”  – Aaron

“Me and my husband haven’t smoked since seeing you : ))). Thank you so much!“ – Kara

“Michael has helped me do what I could not do alone. I quit October 19, 2017. With his help I feel so much better and I sleep through the night. He has a nice relaxed voice, easy to listen to, and his voice is very clear. Thanks Michael!” – L.B.
