“My body is shrinking while my world is expanding”

I have done weight loss in the past, several times. This time I really wanted to understand the mechanism that keeps bringing the weight back up for me. Samantha was an awesome guide on this exploration. She helped me paint a whole picture of my relationship with food, with my past, with unconscious beliefs, mindless habits, and forgiveness. By combining effective techniques, keen insights into human behavior, and a wonderful ability to listen with compassion, she led me, again and again, to fully experience what was holding me back and how I could free myself. Hypnosis with Samantha felt like the best cutting-edge techniques and advice, delivered to me in a state of deep calm and trust. After six weeks, I have dropped seven pounds. My body is shrinking while my world is expanding with freed-up energy, new joy and possibilities. And--nothing magic to this process--just a brilliant combination of all the right ingredients!

“I've been through therapy many times before but this was deeper”

Sam has a gentle and amazing way of getting 'beneath the surface' to help you on your healing journey! Her voice is like a warm blanket that guides you towards paths of pain, fear and resistance so they can be exposed and healed. I've been thru therapy many times before but this therapy was deeper...it got to the root of my issues and brought me such understanding and freedom from my past. Hypnosis is not scary. It was a deeper thought process... like a meditation that she guided me thru. I remember everything and she also sent me a recording of each of my sessions to review and think upon. I can't say enough about this woman's passion to genuinely want to see her clients come to a place of wholeness and peace. She goes beyond the call to assist you. I am forever grateful! Highly recommend Sam! This was worth the time and investment and I'm so very happy and satisfied with the outcome!

“I can live my life again!”

Sam-Wise removed my fear of heights and enclosed spaces! For 2 years after a specific event, I had extreme anxiety over heights and enclosed spaces. It reached a point where I was unable to perform everyday activities, but after sessions with Sam, I am now able to identify what is real and what is irrational. I was not able to go into my car, pantry or elevator without fear that I would be trapped. I’m looking forward to once again getting on a ski-lift this winter, instead of letting the fear totally prevent me from even hitting the slopes. I don’t worry about, or even think about, enclosed spaces or heights sending me into a panic attack—I can live my life again! Thank you so much, Sam!

“My brain is back to functioning better, faster, and sharper”

As the CEO of an event planning company, with multiple clients, my brain functioning at an optimal level is imperative to success in business. This is why I reached out to Samantha for hypnosis. I had reached a point where there was too much white noise taking up space in my mind. I was worried about how I would get it all together. I feel blessed to know Samantha and to have gone through the 6 week journey with her. The hypnosis experience was incredible and truly did put me back on the path where my brain is back to functioning better, faster, and sharper. I was able to heal some relationships (or how I saw the relationships) and release some hurt and anger that had been a burden to me. I have already referred Samantha and will continue to do so, especially to anyone in a high powered position. Not only is Sam a great hypnosis instructor, she is also caring and full of energy. Our sessions were vibrant, energetic, and goal oriented. I felt like each week I was meeting with my coach to take things to another level. She's brilliant and I am so grateful to have gone down this journey. Thank you, Sam.

“I noticed results immediately after our first session”

My experience with hypnosis has been life changing! If you're thinking it's "magic" and that you will not be fully present and participating then I invite you to reconsider; the process is nothing like the TV hype. I was completely put at ease during my first session with Samantha. She was professional and friendly and we dove really deep into my desired outcomes and got very specific about what success looks like. I felt very comfortable being open and vulnerable. I noticed results immediately after our first session and each week I gained new confidence and skills. Part of the process I really appreciated was the personalization Sam provided and I feel that's what allowed us to really get to the root of my issues and transform them into behaviors that served me. I learned new tools that I can utilize for the rest of my life! I'm so grateful that I found Sam-Wise! THANK YOU!

“I just love this lady!”

Just love this lady! Her gentle approach made me feel comfortable enough to open my soul to her. I don't think I've ever bared myself to anyone as much as I did to her. My compulsion and my anxieties. I am grateful that Sam help me paved the way of understanding and gave myself a new angle of things. Thanks again, Sam.

“Because of our sessions, I stopped letting life just happen to me”

During hypnosis with Sam I felt comfortable and safe and heard. Because of our sessions, I stopped letting life just happen to me, and I gained the confidence to make my own decisions and stand by my own side. I've learned to voice what is important to me in a relationship and life. Moving forward I have more compassion and acceptance for myself everyday, and I take steps to live the life that I want every day.

“6 week later, I am more present with my family, at work, and have a completely different mindset”

I feel so lucky to have found Samantha and would recommend her services to anyone. While initially skeptical that hypnotherapy would be effective in a virtual setting, I was happily surprised at how much positive change I saw after just my first session. Six weeks later, I am more present with my family, at work, and have a completely different mindset about my life. Samantha's impact has been incredible and I'm confident my learnings will last me a lifetime. Thank you so much Samantha!

“Finally over the wall I had hit at the gym!”

Sam is an incredible coach who helped me overhaul my eating habits AND developed a customized workout plan for me so I could simultaneously tone-up and improve my bouldering skills. She got results! I got stronger and fitter and finally got over the "wall" I had hit at the gym. On top of that, she's a caring and wonderful person who lights up everyone's day. I can't recommend her highly enough.

“I no longer get that sick feeling in my gut I have to deal with money situations”

Thank you Sam for the hypnosis journey you lead me on. Thanks to the work we did together... I no longer get that sick feeling in my gut I have to deal with money situations. Plus, I no longer have to carry other people's burden as my own. I can care without carrying. If you are considering hypnosis...DO IT! Sam is amazing!

“Now I am mindful about my eating and chose other things when emotional”

I met Sam when I had reached out to a community about binge-eating. Sam suggested hypnotherapy to get to the root of my poor eating habits. Sam worked some magic over six weeks and helped me recover memories that I had buried deep. Through her support, I was able to address my emotions, create new habits, and redirect my energies. Now, I am mindful about my eating and chose things other than food when emotional. If you are curious about methods to help anything you may be battling internally, I highly recommend that you reach out to Sam for assistance. Her calming voice allowed me to quickly get into a hypnotic state so that we could get the most of my sessions. You won’t regret reaching out to her!

“I feel so much more confident and unafraid of future change and growth!”

Shout out to Samantha Smith Shaw, my new friend and also my hypnotherapist who has done wonders for me!! I came to her with a few areas of personal growth I wanted to work on ~ mainly addressing my fears that are holding me back from my huge goals in life and also ending my self-sabotaging behaviors (which were ALL CONNECTED!) After 6 weeks of amazing discussion, hypnosis, targeted follow ups and focused plans of action going forward, I feel so much more confident and unafraid of future change and growth!! Keep in mind, this was all done across country via Zoom! How great is technology for this purpose alone? Samantha has the perfect gentle, relaxing coaching voice for her profession. I highly recommend learning more if you'd like to figure out how you can become your best self!! Thank you Samantha so much!!

“I started seeing changes in my daily routine almost immediately, and I now feel more in control of my life and my health”

I knew I needed to focus on my health but lacked the willpower to stick to any workout regime or diet I tried. Knowing Sam had changed her career path to help others achieve their health goals, I reached out and took my first step toward changing my life forever. I've done two hypnotherapy packages with her (one to better manage my eating habits and another to help me manage work stress) and I exercise with her every week. I started seeing changes in my daily routine almost immediately, and I now feel more in control of my life and my health. I can't recommend Sam enough!

“Sam helped me "clear out the gutters" so I could get mentally and emotionally back on track.”

During the Covid period I gained 10lbs. I felt defeated. I reached out to Sam for help because she has a background in personal training, nutrition and hypnotherapy. and I wanted somebody with all the tools to help me succeed. In as little as one session with her, Sam put me at ease and allowed me to refocus my thinking on what is possible. Through the work I did with her, I could visualize the results I wanted and that gave me power to not feel like I'm digging myself out of an insurmountable hole. Her sessions also helped me come to my own realization of the limiting beliefs I subconsciously put on myself, that were preventing me from losing the weight previously. I don't think this would have been possible without Samantha's guidance. Sam helped me "clear out the gutters" so I could get mentally and emotionally back on track. Thank you for guiding me from defeat to victory!

“I began to see results very quickly”

This past year I was experiencing unprecedented levels of anxiety with overwhelming physical symptoms whenever I knew I was going to have to speak up or speak to a group. I reached out to Samantha, and I worked through these patterns and behaviors with hypnotherapy and I began to see results very quickly with how much calmer and confident I felt. In the process I was getting control of the thoughts and becoming aware of outdated old programs that were no longer serving me. Although I came to Samantha for help with anxiety, I found that I was seeing the results in other areas of my life simultaneously. I was prepared to commit to the process and do the work and it made such a difference for me. Thanks, Sam!!

“That meeting changed my life”

It took most of 6 weeks of frustrating interactions before I found Sam, and that meeting changed my life. When I tell you Sam listens and crafts sessions tailored to what she has heard, and that that might be the single most important thing I can tell you, it is really just scratching the surface. Every session begins with discussion, and questions, from which Sam obviously fine tunes the content of the session that follows. And Every Single Session accomplished what was intended. Read that sentence again. Every session. Every one. Surely that must be the most important piece of information, right? The reports that come awhile after each session serve to recap, reiterate, reinforce, and to show you each epiphany and how it impacted. Sam Shaw, herself, though, is the most important piece of this review. Sam is intelligent, kind, intuitive and caring. She is obviously committed to producing the highest quality result each session and works hard to achieve it. Personally, I don’t believe I could have had even an equal experience with anyone else. The experience was so personal, the insights so staggering, the resolutions so perfect—and that is all down to Sam, who made it all seem so easy, all I did was show up and follow instructions. Hypnosis is an awesome tool. Samantha Shaw is a Master Craftsman.

“Life-long fear of mice - GONE!”

Life-long fear of mice - GONE! Sam has amazing skills at getting to the root of the problem and solving it quickly and easily. I never could have figured it out on my own. Now I can walk into my garage, the basement, the attic without that feeling of pure terror that there could be a mouse. I still don't like mice, but now I know to calmly and rationally call an exterminator if they are in my space. Sam gave me back peace and comfort in my own home - so amazing. I highly recommend Sam-Wise Coaching & Hypnosis!
