Feedback / Testimonial I
worked with Dr Wu for well over a year on a number of physical, emotional and
cognitive issues. She definitely helped me and there is no doubt that I made significant
improvements during our time working together. As a yoga instructor, she helped
me overcome and improve upon several physical challenges that I face. As a psychologist,
she helped me with some significant cognitive issues and helped me to better control
my emotions as well. As a hypnotherapist, she helped me eliminate some bad nutritional
habits and live a healthier lifestyle. My life is better because of her. 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. I
think overall that hypnosis really helped me... Thank you so much for your wonderful
support and guidance. This was my first experience with hypnosis which I think
is truly an art and science. I plan to continue my endeavor and will keep you
posted in the future. 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 people's 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! Dr.
Wu has helped me with motivation and goals. I noticed when I've started my sessions,
I was low on self confidence, mostly because I was giving myself unreachable goals;
of course I only started to recognize this after Dr. Wu pointed it out. Now that
my sessions are complete I feel happier, and more my self. I know now when I set
myself up for failure by recognizing that there are some goals not important enough
to fret over and cause worry. I feel like I have the tools and capability to reach
any goal I'l like to achieve; given it is something that will benefit me. I know
now that I can do it. I feel much better about that. Issues
Dr. Wu helped me with included skin picking and bad diet. I stopped picking my
scalp immediately and have continued to not pick at my scalp or skin. Dr. Wu helped
me to start drinking a lot more water. She also got me back to exercising 3 times
a week. Dr.
Wu has helped me with audition/performance anxiety issues. The hypnotherapy greatly
helped with my ability to control my audition anxiety. The process of controlled
breathing or more awareness of my breath allowed me to calm myself at the first
symptoms of anxiety. The process of mentally finding a power place for auditions
and visualizing a successful and joyful performance made the actual experience
of auditioning more enjoyable. I am very grateful for the help as many of my friends
are on beta-blockers but I have a natural healthy approach to dealing with anxiety. 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. Dr.
Wu's guidance has helped me resolve certain anxiety issues I had. She made me
emphasize and put more energy into positive thoughts. Her hypnotherapy techniques
have made me at ease with my self. Her calming voice guided me throughout the
hypnotherapy session. Visualizing myself in calm, serene environment is a technique
I will now use for any sort of anxiety that may come up. Thank you Dr. Wu for
all your help and guidance!! Shelley
is very knowledgeable and provides wonderful guidance and understanding in yoga
that encourages me to continue practicing for years to come. Thank you! 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! 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! 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Dr.
Wu has helped me quit smoking. 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! 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 you’ve 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. For
Public Speaking and Golfing: "At Dr. Wu Hypnotherapy & Yoga, the focus
was to open my mindset and remove obstacles related to public speaking and golf.
I have noticed subtle differences and feel that I have made progress and will
continue to make progress going forward. I am encouraged by the differences noticed."
Dr.
Shelley Wu has helped me with: nutrition, weight loss, self-esteem, alcohol abuse.
I truly appreciate Dr. Wu's knowledge, wisdom, and guidance in my search for a
more healthy lifestyle. She is an expert in her field. In addition to helping
me achieve goals, Dr. Wu has helped me gain confidence and a stronger inner peace.
I will continue to see her for lifestyle issues as I become even more fit and
healthy in both mind and body. Thank you, Dr. Wu. 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. 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. 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. One
session quit smoking hypnotherapy worked! Thanks. 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." 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. With
Dr. Wu's help I have been able to relax a lot better, with less stress. I can
definitely feel the difference. |
