"I am a confident person, but lately at work I've started to question my decisions. Immediately after my session with Mari, I felt such a joy in my heart. It's hard to describe but I felt so light! Later that day, I looked in a mirror and had the thought, 'I am a confident woman!' That was rather odd but I totally believe and KNOW IT. Mari, you do MAGIC! -Jean, Healthcare Executive
"When Mari first suggested hypnosis to help ease the pain from my fractured hip and the subsequent hip pinning, I thought she was crazy. I was pretty reluctant because I never believed that I could be hypnotized but I was in such terrible pain, I thought it was worth a try. I knew I could trust Mari and that she truly wanted to help me. While in hypnosis, I was able to envision my favorite place in nature, what I call my 'happy place'. The imagery was so vivid that felt like I was actually walking in this beautiful place. I felt such great peace, joy, and love. The remarkable thing was I experienced the most beautiful, heavenly scent while I was in my happy place. It's hard to describe the scent but it was one from my childhood; a crisp, clean, linen scent that I smelled as a child when my mother and aunt would hang the freshly washed linens on the clothes line. It brought me such wonderful memories and a deep peace. At the end of the session, I felt so much better and was confident that I would recovery quickly from my hip surgery, which I have.
Three months later, as a cancer survivor, I had to undergo a radioisotope procedure to determine if I have any remaining cancer cells in my body. If you've ever undergone this procedure or know anyone who has, you would know it is very intense. Your body is under extreme pressure from the radiology machine. It was so intense that tears endlessly streamed down my face. I tried to find my happy place but I just couldn't do it. Right about the time when I thought I couldn't tolerate it any more, I became surrounded by a heavenly scent. It was so beautiful! I just breathed in as much of it as I could and began to experience a wonderful inner-peace. I asked the radiologist what the smell was that I was smelling. I could only describe it as heavenly. She responded, 'I don't smell anything. The only thing I smell is the coffee and pastry from our break room.' Upon hearing these words, the beautiful scent was gone. Thankfully, the procedure was almost done and I was able deal with the rest of it. The technician was astonished that I could easily tolerate the procedure, one that often takes up to four hours for some patients who need to take multiple breaks to complete the full body scan. It only took me 40 minutes! The technician documented my comments about the heavenly scent and said that she had never heard anyone say that before.
I realized later that scent was unique to me and only I could smell it; yet, it was so present. It completely enveloped me and brought me inner-peace. I remembered the scent being present when I was in my happy place, while under hypnosis with Mari. Maybe it was the hypnosis, maybe it was my guardian angels. I don't really know but whatever it was, it is so beautiful and peaceful! I am confident that I can call upon it whenever I'm experiencing difficulties and know I can deal with anything that comes my way!" -Ellie, Retired Credit Card Associate
