Testimonials
“I have a high-pressure, high-performing C-level job that requires energy, intellect and sophistication. There are times when the pressure seems overwhelming, causing sleep loss and a general sense of dis-ease. I exercise and pray regularly but still I needed more. I met Sheila Swenson and within just a few sessions, my perspective and feelings regarding work and life changed. It may sound too good to be true but there is no need for me to exaggerate. I tease Sheila that she “rewires” my brain and then everything becomes easier, more enjoyable and efficient. My productivity and quality of life have been hugely improved since I have been Sheila’s patient. Think of her as a tune up for your brain! Don’t delay.”

“I am beyond proud to call Sheila my colleague for many years. She is an extraordinary person. Her technique is extremely effective because she is so knowledgeable about the field. She has helped countless patients through her advanced treatments and I will continue to refer patients to her.”

“I have seen Sheila Swenson multiple times. Sheila is a first class professional who truly cares about helping her clients achieve their goals. She is highly effective, a great listener, and a master hypnotherapist. She has assisted me in reaching my personal and financial goals by overcoming mental blocks and focusing on what is most important. Most impressively, she shows a genuine interest in the development of her clients in reaching their full potential. Her approach is classically scientific. She listens to her clients attentively, observes what is working and/or blocking success, applies techniques, sees what is working/not working and addresses the issues head on. I have seen other hypnotherapists, and they were okay, however, after working with Sheila the last year I have been by far most impressed with her work and treatment approach, which is relaxed, and to the point. I am a lawyer and need to be very demanding in my professional relationships, and would recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation. If you were considering a therapist, I would best say Ms. Swenson is truly the “educated professional’s hypnotherapist.”

“I originally saw Sheila when I was recovering from an emotional and physical trauma, (late term pregnancy loss- stillbirths) which had induced night terrors and peaked anxiety. I wanted to cease taking an anxiety medication I’d been prescribed-something I needed to do to allow me to become pregnant again. Sheila estimated that I would feel a sense of calm again in 6-8 sessions. After 2 sessions I tapered down, at 6 sessions I came off the medication completely. And at 8 sessions I stopped having nightmares I’d had off and on since childhood and was enjoying better sleep than in recent memory. I worked with Sheila in releasing pregnancy fears and support during what happily turned into the birth of our son several years later.My experience was so positive that I visited Sheila 2 years ago when I was working towards becoming a successful published author. I’d been writing and felt at the cusp of high-level publication. I did a single session with Sheila to reinforce and affirm my capabilities, talents and success as a writer. In the next year, I sold 3 magazine pieces and signed my first book deal. I see Sheila now when I want to tune up my remembrance that life is good, that I am safe and to affirm fulfillment in my professional life. I have recommended many clients and friends to Sheila and as with me, she has always been entirely professional, helpful, warm,f assuring and a delight to know. I refer to Sheila with my highest recommendations.”

“I can say without reservation that almost no one has taken me into deeper, more effective levels of hypnotic healing than Sheila Swenson. Her induction approach is completely gentle yet incredibly powerful and if you come prepared to achieve, she can get you there. Sheila is a consummate professional.”

“It was recommended that I go to Sheila Swenson for hypnotherapy to help me figure out why I had gorging food urges in the middle of the night especially when I wasn’t hungry. Within a few sessions we resolved and cleared the issue. As an added bonus, I also discovered ways I was blocking healing in other areas of my life. We cleared that, too! I found Sheila very professional, intuitive and highly effective. I strongly recommend her to those looking to heal themselves.”
Jane G. Doyle, Author of "You Heal You", Chicago, IL
“Sheila will help you remove any limiting beliefs and correct anything you feel is holding you back in life. Whatever issue(s) are plaguing you, Sheila will uncover a way to relieve you and help you move forward. If you are open to hypnotherapy and believe it will work for you, you will have great success and experience a new way of life! A happy, stress-free life! Love Sheila!”

“After trying for many years to quit smoking, it only got worse…After getting to three packs a day, with getting up during the night to smoke…Enough was enough…With one two and a half hour visit with Sheila, I have been able to stay smoke free since I walked out of her office on April 5th. I would not have been able to do this on my own…With an open mind and the determination to quit, hypnotism is what brought it all together.”

“I went to see Sheila to help me with physical issues I was suffering due to Multiple Sclerosis. Within three sessions my boyfriend was in tears over the amazing progress I had made. My balance and coordination are profoundly better and I continue to advance due to the self-hypnosis Sheila taught me. I am walking better every day, with more strength, balance and coordination. I highly recommend Sheila for any issue, big or small!”

“Despite many counseling sessions, I was unable to overcome my driving fears and effectively cope with the loss of my mother. Through Sheila’s hypnosis sessions, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my soul! I highly recommend hypnotherapy to everyone who has issues that they wish to address. It is fast and it works!”
G.D., Palos Hills, IL
“With the proper training, anyone can call themselves a hypnotist. But there are four traits that separate Sheila from the crowd: her true passion for the work, her depth of commitment, her expertise, and her genuine compassion for people. I can give no higher recommendation than to say that in my own work as a hypnotherapist, if for some reason I could not help a client, then there was only one other hypnotherapist I felt comfortable recommending them to, and that's Sheila Swenson.”
John Bridges, CH
“Thank you so much for all your help! We truly believe you played a major role in bringing Elise into this world!” (session for challenges related to conceiving)
The Watson Family, Streamwood, IL
“I am so grateful to Sheila for working with me on issues related to over work, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and insomnia. Life has been much easier since doing hypnotherapy, and I have learned a number of different strategies to use on a daily basis that keep me grounded, less anxious, and living a happier and more harmonious life. Sheila is truly a "healer", and a great listener who has the ability to get to know you quickly and deeply so that she can come up with an individualized approach to working on your issues. I highly recommend Sheila and am so glad I found her and have been able to work with her.”
