Feedback / Testimonial
My reason for seeking Yoga and Hypnotherapy was to help with depression
and the weight gain that followed from medicating myself with
food. I can say after 7 session with Dr. Wu, I feel as if I have
a new lease on life. I have so far lost 26 lbs and have achieved
a level of confidence and well-being not felt in many years. The
cycle of eating junk foods-weight gain-depression-more junk food
have seemed to disapear and replaced with urges for fruits, vegitables,
water and exercise. Dr. Wu's expertise, knowledge, and understanding
is exceptional. I could not recommend anyone more.

Dr.
Wu has helped me with public speaking. Once
upon a time, I was an extremely shy young woman who would sink
low into her chair to avoid being noticed. Through life experiences
and professional growth I became more comfortable speaking in
front of small groups of people. The more I spoke, the more confident
I became in my knowledge and message. From time to time I had
a speaking experience that left me doubting my ability to be a
public speaker: my hands would shake, my mouth would get dry,
I focused more on peoples reaction to me rather than on
my presentation. After being an independent businessowner for
a couple years, I made the decision to expand my services by incorporating
community education and continuing education courses for attorneys,
CPAs and licensed financial/insurance professionals into my business.
While I felt extremely confidant with my subject knowledge, I
did not feel completely confident in my abilities as a presenter.
Having utilized a hypnotherapist in the past (for an unrelated
purpose), I enlisted the professional help of Dr. Wu to help me
gain focus and the confidence required to give a successful presentation.
Her natural ability to listen and put your fears at
rest with a common sense approach, helped give me that extra little
confidence I needed to remain calm and focused during the presentations.
I was able to relax and really absorb the enjoyment I received
from sharing information with others. The techniques and tools
I have received from Dr. Wu have crossed over to other areas of
my life and will be a sustaining method of focus and enjoyment
for years to come!

Shelley
has introduced the concept and basic method of Yoga to me. It
was an eye-opening experience for me. I am interest in maintaining
and expanding my range of motion. I have achieved significant
results since I start to practice with her. Her Yoga methods also
helped to reduce my knee pain so that I can be more active in
other sports.

Dr.
Wu has help me quit smoking. I finally found something that worked
for my smoking. Have not wanted to smoke since. Really improved
my work situation and relationship. Never knew how time consuming
smoking was and how free I am.
--- Chantelle Gayagas, General Manager of Restaurant
I
truly believe that with the guidance from Dr. Wu, you are in control
of your own thoughts and actions. I've learned how to react more
rationally to situations and people. More importantly, I've learned
how to channel negative emotions into positive ones through the
use of effective tools Dr. Wu has shared with me. She has help
me with how to dal with negative thoughts and negativity in general.

Comments:
We are in our 70s and are physically active. We thought we didn't
need to practise Yoga, until we had our first lesson with Dr.
Wu. She demonstrated how our range of motion was limited by lack
of stretching exercise and poor breathing habits. After 6 excellent
sessions with her we have seen significant improvements. Learning
the history and concept of Yoga is a great experience! Now we
are looking forward to many Yoga practice when we go back China!
--- Mr. and Mrs. Xu, Retired Professors
Dr.
Wu has helped me with stiffness in my neck and upper body as well
as my entire body. The stretching and relaxation have helped me
get in better touch with my body. I have learned to slow down
and relax my entire body especially in stressful situations, which
I often am in. Thank you!
--- Kathie Harris, Real Estate Agent
I
met Dr. Shelley Wu, with my wife, at a yoga class. One of my issues
is weight control, or I should say lack of weight control. I started
hypnotherapy May of 2004, and after three months I have lost 30
pounds, about 21/2 pounds a week. I have more than this one issue;
I also have emotional issues, as many overweight (obese) people
do. Dr. Wu has done more to assist me on emotional issues than
fourteen years of traditional therapy. My treatment will take
quite a while to correct the years of poor eating; however I am
sure Dr. Wu is the right person for me to work with. I'm not a
young person; I am 60. However I have learned so much from Dr.
Wu already that I am a much happier person, showing results outside
and in my heart. Shelley really cares about her patients, she
is more than a hypnotherapist to me, and she is my friend. I recommend
Dr. Shelley Wu with no reservation whatsoever.
--- Dean N. King, San Diego, CA
Shelley
helped me narrow down a particularly troubling issue that has
been with me for my life. She is gentle yet insightful, and served
as the ideal guide into my subconscious. This was a powerful experience
I recommend to anyone seeking to understand themselves on a deeper
level.
--- M.M.
I
am retired with disability. Yoga with Shelley has helped my low
back problem (lying down with radiation into legs at times). Even
though I could not attend all classes last year and first of this
year due to medical problems, yoga has helped me with strength
and flexibility. Since I am extremely tense when I arrive, I am
relaxed when I leave, but just get stressed again by the time
I get home, although I can become relaxed again. It depends upon
situation. But I just try to practice breathing. My blood pressure
is down. I do not think it has all to do with medication. I think
yoga has a great effect.
The
only thing I have difficulty with besides movement is my respirations
and slower. Therefore it takes me a little time for the next breath.
If I attempt to breath more quickly I feel light headed. I think
I am benefiting from the sessions. Thank you.
---Sue Jahn, Retiree
Dr.
Wu has made me a believer in the process of hypnotherapy. She
listens, understands and designs a very specific approach toward
solutions to your problems. She is awesome and I am so grateful
for her help. I would recommend her wholeheartedly and hope to
continue to work with her. Issues Dr. Wu helped me with: Confidence,
calm, organization, focus, career, health, diet.
--- Cynthia Gladstone, Artist
Dr.
Shelley Wu has been a life-saver for me. I first saw her for hypnotherapy
sessions regarding my high-anxiety, low self-esteem, and severe
procrastination. These were manifesting themselves in my inability
to complete my very overdue graduate school assignments, and my
timidity in pursuing the executive positions of higher responsibility
I have been wanting to pursue. My mental block and fear were holding
me back and putting the brakes on my life. I just couldn't get
off the sidelines and into the game. Well, after six hypnotherapy
sessions and three yoga sessions something clicked, because I
finally sat down, completed my assignments, and will receive my
Masters degree in a few weeks. In addition, I started an aggressive
job search for a private sector executive position with much higher
responsibilities, rewards, and a better future than my present
Civil Service job. Thanks to Dr. Wu I'm now off the sidelines
and back in the game. Thank You Dr. Wu.
--- P. F., Management Consultant
I
have been practicing yoga in addition to my regular work outs
for about two years now. I like it very much because it not only
can increase my flexibility, improve my posture but also reduce
stress and experience positive changes on mind and emotions. Another
reason why I like yoga is that I can practice it at any time and
any where, especially when I travel. It is very convenient for
me.
Shelley
is the best teacher I have known. She gives you detailed instructions
on how to get into a posture and how to get out of a posture,
so you don't hurt yourself. She also tells you the benefit of
each different posture, so you know what to practice when you
need them.
--- Polly Liew, Real Estate Development and Management
Dr.
Wu has helped me quit smoking.
I started smoking at the age of ten and had been smoking for 26
years, I never thought I would be able to quit, it was who I was
and all I knew. I must have tried to quit smoking a dozen plus
times and never made it passed day two. Amazingly after just one
session with Dr. Wu, I stopped. Her insight and intelligence,
really helped me put things into perspective, and her calming
nature really helped me relax. I went back for a second visit,
as a kind of reinforcement of the first and have been smoke free
now for a month, which if you knew me, is a miracle. I would definitely
refer Dr. Wu to any one who wanted to quit smoking or just needed
help in other areas of their lives.
--- John Narducci, Designer/Student
Dr.
Wu has helped me with stopping nail biting and strengthening personal
motivation. Dr. Wu has an extraordinary and unique method. She
not only educates you, but helps you see things in life that we
normally let pass by. With her personal touch, you feel like you
are floating on heaven's cloud and she is like your guardian angel.
I highly recommend Dr. Wu for anybody, anytime!
--- G. Fernando, Personal Banker
Dr.
Wu has helped me change diet. The sessions were very helpful.
Dr. Wu helped me sort out issues and identify weak points and
strong points in my approach towards my diet. Positive changes
in my diet have occurred thanks to Dr. Wu.
--- Chad Nickerson, Sony Tech
Dr.
Wu has helped me with poor vision due to stress. I feel way more
relaxed now. I see my vision problems as an extension of other
underlying issues. I know what to do to relax now. Helping myself
relax releases tension and helps me to have more energy so that
I am more effective at my daily tasks.
--- N. Dial, Business Woman
K.
was 12 years old when we sought assistance from Dr. Wu a few months
ago. K. was easily and greatly irritated and distracted by his
excitable and poorly-behaved middle school classmates, and his
psychiatrist (K. has been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder)
suggested meditation as a source of relief. Dr. Wu taught K. meditation
exercises by coaching him through the process in an easy yet expert
manner. He has been able to duplicate the exercises at home which
has enhanced his ability to cope with his classmates. It has helped
him even more to learn through Dr. Wu's calm, soothing, empowering
counseling that it is possible to take control of his environment
internally. Thank you, Dr. Wu.
--- Mrs. M., K's Mom
Dr.
Wu has been wonderful. She has helped me to lose 10 pounds and
increase my confidence level. With Dr. Wu's help I know that I
will continue to lose weight and feel better about myself. I would
highly recommend her services and I plan on coming back to Dr.
Wu periodically to continue the positive changes that I have made
with her help. Issues Dr. Wu helped me with: Weight Loss &
Self-Confidence.
--- Bridget G., Realtor
I
sought the services of Dr. Wu to learn how to keep focused, to
find balance, to enjoy the simple things, and most of all how
to breathe. In addition, I have learned how to listen to my body
and control erratic impulses that make some of my goals and efforts
futile. I am exploring different avenues of my mind that have
never been traveled before. Lastly,
I'm seeking her assistance in eliminating my habits of poor language
(namely curse words). She has taught me on being a better father,
husband and person.

Shelley
has a wealth of knowledge and is very proficient at sharing this
with her clients. She is an excellent role model for all women
and I am grateful to have worked with her to overcome my weight
problems. I will continue to attend her yoga classes because they
are beneficial to my well-being. I would highly recommend her
to anyone seeking guidance.

Dr.
Wu has been a priceless influence in my personal quest for a healthier
and pain free life. She has been a wonderful addition to my weekly
schedule. Dr. Wu has taught me skills and exercises through our
weekly yoga and relaxation sessions that have allowed me to strengthen
my back and live a much more productive life. In fact, I am playing
golf without any pain for the first time in years. Thank you for
all youve done to improve my daily life!

Dear
Shelley: I so much appreciate your warm sincere thoughtfulness.
Not only have you been a remarkably good instructor for yoga and
hypnotherapy, but also you have demonstrated your ability as a
compassionate caring person who truly takes pride in her profession
and in the well-being of her clients beyond the call of duty.
Thank you so much for your honest good energy.
--- Fabienne Hendrix, San Diego, CA
Dr.
Wu has helped me with anxiety which resulted in Panic Attacks.
I'm so excited by the results I've noticed after seeing Dr. Wu
only after 4 sessions. This challenge in my life was affecting
me professionally and personally. I now feel calmer & relaxed
in any type of situation. I've decided to continue seeing her
for yoga on a regular basis because I know this will help me forever.
Thank You Dr. Wu!

I
have pain and uneven flexibility between my left and right side,
particularly in my hips. Dr Shelley Wu has helped me to strengthen
and release tension in that area. --- Jackie Gray, Bookkeeper/Artist
I
found it easy to discuss my issues with Shelley and from there
we were able to work out a course of action. Shelley is very intuitive
and seems to have a genuine interest and compassion for what she
does.
--- M., Accountant
My
hypnotherapy and guided imagery sessions with Dr. Wu have been
incredible. I have been able to work through many of the traumatic
events in my life, and have gotten my anxiety under control. Dr.
Wu has helped me to find ways to tune into my emotions, and therefore
relax both my body and mind when necessary. I have also greatly
enjoyed my weekly yoga sessions with Dr. Wu.
--- Jessica Y., Rancho Bernardo , CA
I
have struggled with my weight since I was a teenager, yo-yoing
up and down. Through hypnotherapy I have been able to incorporate
healthy eating habits that have allowed me to maintain my weight
effortlessly. I am very excited about the prospect of living a
healthy, balanced life without the ups and downs on the scale.
--- Wyatt, Attorney
Dr.
helped me with weight loss and sleep. I had been at a breaking
point. I felt as if I was never going to get better. I had tried
all diets, therapy, ect. Dr. Wu helped me get in touch with what
my body and mind truly needed. I have begun losing weight and
felt so much more confident about my decisions in my personal
and professional life.
--- Michelle Liljengren, Fitness Trainer
Dr.
Shelley Wu has been an eternal blessing in my life. She has enriched
my life not only physically, more importantly, emotionally and
spiritually. In working with her, I have obtained profound balance
in my life. Her guidance I once sought on a superficial level
extended to a deeper understanding of myself, which resulted in
a strong foundation at this early stage in my life. Acting as
a sounding board, by which I could hear myself think, my session
with Dr. Wu revealed much about myself that I had not chosen to
face.
--- Melissa Vera, Student, Writer
Hypnotherapy
with Dr. Wu has really helped with my eating habits. The suggestions
that were given to me while in hypnosis have helped me in areas
where my will power had always failed me.
In
addition, through hypnosis, Dr. Wu has greatly improved my motivation
for achieving my career goals. I run my own consulting company,
where self-motivation is vital.
--- Peng, CA
My
yoga and guided imagery sessions with Shelley have been great.
I can't say enough about how much they have helped reduce my stress
level and develop a calming outlook on life. I have also done
hypnotherapy sessions on hypertension with Shelley. Her techniques
as well as her soothing personality are very effective. I have
noticed results immediately.
--- Mary Davidson, San Diego, CA
Shelley
has helped me overcome anxieties. Shelley has been very patient
with me in my yoga sessions, she has taught me a lot over the
past few months. I have been able to overcome some of my anxiety
issues thru my yoga sessions. I feel with more sessions more of
my anxiety will go away. I am looking forward to a long term yoga
relationship with Shelley.
--- Mark, Mira Mesa
Dr.
Wu was incredibly helpful and inspirational in helping me to quit
drinking. I had tried traditional methods before, including two
different stints with a medical clinic along with required AA
meetings. This is the first time I feel like I actually have a
grasp on the root cause of my reasons for drinking. Dr. Wu made
me feel comfortable from the very beginning in using hypno-therapy
to reprogram my mind and to deal with past issues that had been
haunting me for years. I strongly recommend Dr. Wu as a viable
alternative to traditional methods for giving up alcohol.
--- Bill N., CA
I
travel 100% of my time for work and have gained significant weight
over the last few years. I contacted Dr. Wu for hypnotherapy to
help me control my weight gain. Dr. Wu has been instrumental in
helping me identify areas where I could gain control over my poor
eating habits, add a level of achievable exercise, and turn my
evenings away from home into positive, healthy activities.
Many
evenings I would sit in my hotel room, order room service and
watch television. I am now enrolled in language and yoga classes,
and swim whenever possible. I have also increased my intake of
water and fresh foods. Dr. Wu has helped me put a plan together
to improve my health and lifestyle and reinforced that plan with
hypnotherapy. The hypnotherapy and CD has been instrumental in
keeping me aware of what I need to do and why, plus helping keep
me motivated. I am currently losing weight at a healthy rate.

Linda Cisco, Senior Project Management Consultant
Dr.
Shelley Wu has helped me with de-stressing, relaxation, transitioning
into effective physical workout, and being more happy. Dr. Wu
has helped me greatly through her effective combination of mind
and body workout. The physical part of the yoga, the stretches,
the exercise, and the building of strength and flexibility, have
anchored the sessions and given me something tangible to take
away after each session. At the same time, the meditation and
guided imagery have helped me be happier, consolidate a calmer
state of mind, and feel at the same time younger, and more accepting.
I highly recommend Dr. Wu.
--- Barry Naughton, College Professor
Dr.
Wu was very helpful and insightful, bringing things to my awareness
that helped me let go of childhood issues and move forward into
greater confidence and success. She was very professional and
thorough in understanding my issues and helping to transform them.
It was a pleasure working with her - as a beginning Hypnotherapist,
I learned a lot.

We
enjoy Shelley's yoga lessons very much. She is patient and nice.
Most important of all, I can feel that my body is changing. My
muscle tone is feeling better. I actually feel younger! Thank
you, Shelley.
--- Mr. & Mrs. Lo, & Daughter, Carmel Valley, CA
Dr.
Wu was very accommodating to my requests for special language
patterns. I felt a strong rapport and enjoyed working with her.
I recommend her to anyone seeking to change behaviors with hypnosis.
--- Mary Tokumaru (sought help from hypnotherapy to return to
a healthy body)
I
was experiencing difficulty sleeping and waking up several times
throughout the night. Dr. Shelley Wu taught me to hypnotize myself
prior to going to sleep so that I could get a complete night's
sleep without any pain. Since I have been practicing her technique,
I sleep soundly. Also when I am experiencing pain during the day
in my lower back, I have also applied her technique and it has
effectively eliminated the pain and made my life much more manageable.
I
truly recommend Dr. Wu as an experienced and knowledgeable hypnotherapist.

Fabienne Hendrix, San Diego
One
session quit smoking hypnotherapy worked! Thanks.
--- Chris E., Student
For
Self-esteem: "In the past several weeks, I feel much more
confident in my ability to speak in from to large crowds. I have
learned techniques to overcome anxieties over public speaking,
as well as dealing with difficult situations/people. I have also
leaned techniques to reduce anxiety and stress from my daily activities.
I
enjoyed the hypnosis process, although I was skeptical at first
before I stared my sessions. I also enjoyed our discussions on
why and how things have developed in my childhood that have manifested
as an adult. The one area which I feel I have had the least amount
of benefit from is trying to deal with being obsessed with what
others think about me. Dr. Wu has taught me a simple technique
to work on this."
--- K. L., Pharmacist
The
hypnotherapy was a good springboard in helping me overcome my
internal issues with adding meat into my diet after so many years
of being a vegetarian, while I ma not a complete "omnivore"
just yet, I have been able to slowly venture to try chicken and
sushi. Since so much of what stops me from not being a vegetarian
is my own internal dialogue, the hydrotherapy, I believe, aided
in changing some of those thought patterns.
---Tanja Kropt, Veterinary Medical Sales
With
Dr. Wu's help I have been able to relax a lot better, with less
stress. I can definitely feel the difference.
