What People Are Saying (cont'd.)

As I was planning a large wedding, I wanted to be in the best shape I could be in. Those photos last forever, am I right? When I decided to work with Amy, I realized I was going to have to make a huge commitment to myself. I had always struggled with my weight but from the moment I got engaged, I knew that I wanted to look and feel my best for my wedding, my honeymoon and for the rest of my life as a married woman.

I had never thought in a million years that I would be able to wear a strapless gown. I worked out 3-4 days a week and was amazed at the difference after just three and a half months - I had gone from a size 18 to a size 10! Woo hoo!

By my wedding day, I had gone from 186 lbs to 138 and it was time for a completely new wardrobe. I had learned that working out and eating right is the right combination to achieve your goals. I changed my eating habits and cut down my portions while following Weight Watchers. I’ve added biking, power walking and swimming to my fitness regimen.

It is so wonderful to feel good about myself, like myself and I feel empowered to know that I can accomplish anything. I’ll never forget the feeling of pride that I had when I walked down the aisle and saw hundreds of people watching me, knowing how far I had come.

I clearly feel more confident in my approach to work. The self doubts have gone and I feel as though I am driving the car rather than being the passenger -- and you were right, you can change some deep rooted beliefs. Jerri - Ann Arbor, Michigan {Anxiety of the workplace]

Dear Amy,

I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to share with you that Monday was my six month anniversary for quitting smoking. It's an anniversary that has tremendous meaning for me and one I never thought I'd be able to accomplish.... I have enclosed a picture of myself. My boyfriend took it. He thanks you, too. I don’t smell "smokey" anymore. Sincerely, Renee - Okemos, Michigan

Thank you for helping me. I passed the exam. I’m off to get my Master’s now. Ted Zimmer - Ann Arbor, MI [Test Taking and Memory Improvement]

I made more progress in my 2nd session than in years of regular counseling. I've tried a lot of things, but this is really worthwhile. I really feel I can move on with my life and not struggle with low self-esteem any more. Margaret, Plymouth, Michigan

I've seen Amy a number of times and have found her to have a really good "ear." She is extremely perceptive and intuitive. Whatever you want to work on, she is there to guide you through the process. She is the non-partial, neutral viewer of your process. She has been able to see patterns that I haven't been able to see and she has made connections between my various life "stories" that I thought were completely different. When I leave, I know that something has been healed even if I can't put my finger on it. I just walk out feeling a lot more "whole" than when I walked in. But something always shifts, if you are willing to do the work. Ted, Tecumseh, Michigan

Amy, Just a note to thank you for all of your help. That session has made such an improvement in my life. I don't gasp every time I feel stressed in the car, I just start turning my ring and using the trigger words and I become relaxed. I would like to set up a session for weight loss. Again thank you so much. Linda - Ann Arbor, Michigan [Fear of riding as a passenger in a car]
