I would highly recommend him. Michael Gershman, R.N, C.Cht, C.I Hypnosis Instructor Everett Community College “Thanks Ron. It was a pleasure to meet you. I look forward to our relationship being as mutually beneficial as mine has been with Kevin Hogan. Great articles and I will put them on my website,www.durbinhypnosis.com “ Chaplain Paul Durbin Cht “Ron is an excellent and compassionate teacher. I took a hypnotherapy class in which he taught us how to use hypnotherapy with children. It was apparent that he had a special rapport with children. He also monitored our "practice" sessions, and he critiqued the session in a helpful and instructional way. I would highly recommend him as a therapist”. Diane Shultz, M.A.,CCC-a Audiologist/Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist “Ron's easy manner put me at ease right away. He helped me tremendously coaxing me along to see things in a whole new way. I value his insight & look forward to the next learning experience I have with him.” P. Grover-Rains M.CHt, Registered Counselor “It is said that coincidence plays no part in the people we meet. I was fortunate enough to find myself in the same room with Ron Stubbs during an intensive weeklong training session. He impressed me by the compassion he shared with all he came into contact with. He is professional in every respect. If he lived in my area I would not hesitate to ask him to be my therapist.” Rose Rockney, Cht St. Paul, MN “I had the distinct pleasure of having Ron Stubbs as an instructor for my Master Hypnotherapist Certification in Seattle. It was an absolute pleasure! I was impressed with the intense level of caring he has for his clients, the integrity of his character, and the truly creative way in which he works with children. The acid test, however, was when his family came to visit the class on the final day. The look of pride and affection on their faces said more than anyone ever could. It's obvious that the caring, love and nurture that Ron extends to other people is merely an extension of work he has begun in his own home. There are very few people I would allow to "mess with my head". More importantly, I trust Ron enough to let him into my heart!” Erl Morrell-Stinson, Pastor, M. Cht. ”Thanks, Ron for the intensive work we have done over the last months. Your methods have been extremely effective for my business as well as my personal life. I will highly recommend your practice to others, as well as, personally extend an offer to speak to anyone who may need a personal reference for your services. I have begun to use some of the things that you have taught me, in my consulting of new business start-ups, and their fund raising needs. With my new tools, and self-esteem, I was able to build a presentation strategy that landed that company, a 3 year, 45 million dollar sales contract. Again, thank You for the, "New Directions". David Freshour, Client Hello Ron, I'm fascinated reading your description of using "magic" with a boy who had trouble with bed-wetting, nail biting and other issues. I'd like to know if you'd be willing for me to include it in my section called WHAT'S WORKED FOR ME on the FOR THE THERAPIST pages of my web site (http://www.hypnocenter.com) I'm delighted with the way you work--for this is often how I work with children Your colleague, Del Hunter Morrill, M.S., Counseling Hypnotherapist Good day Ron, Thank you for such a wonderful class last night, you do impress Jeanie and I.

Everett Community College Hypnosis Students Thank you so much for being our teacher this past quarter in the "Intermediate Hypnotherapy Class" at Everett Community College. I have thoroughly enjoyed every session and hope you return for the last quarter. Your skills as a clear clean communicator are incredible. I appreciate the depth of your knowledge and expertise and learned so much more from you than the core curriculum. I really admire the way in which you fully share all that you know and really strive to make sure every one in the class is getting all that they can. And last but not least your gift, compassion, experience and laser sharp skill as a practitioner of the art of hypnotherapy is truly inspirational. Hope to study with you again soon.Sincerely, Darel Grothaus Student Everett Community College Hypnosis Ron Stubbs is a very energetic and compassionate teacher. He brings a level of excitement into the classroom that grabs and keeps my attention. His knowledge of the various hypnotherapeutic processes and techniques is vast and thorough. Ron's teaching style keeps the classroom interesting as he projects a comfortable balance of facts with real life situations.Steve Tracy Hypnotherapy Student Everett Community College Dear Ron; It is with great pleasure that I look back over the many hours of training in hypnotherapy we shared. Your devotion to learning new healing skills and powerful belief in our ability to learn these skills was inspiring and promoted our learning. My understanding of how the human mind works has been deepened by your teaching. My reading skills and self-confidence have expanded wonderfully with your instruction and support. Last month I celebrated my 75th birthday and thanks to you I have enjoyed the best learning experience of my life. I shall always be grateful. With warmth Scotty Smith MSW C.Cht Hypnotherapy Student Everett Community College Dear Ron,Thank you for being such a great hypnosis instructor! I am really enjoying your class and especially appreciated the suggestion you gave me Wednesday night. As you might be able to see from the attached before and after photos, I was rather dismayed and daunted by what the recent windstorm delivered. After class, and especially the next day, I felt infused with new energy and determination and recognized that the loss of my "energy" tree was merely just a sign of change in my life.Thanks again. See you in a couple of weeks.Kelley Woods, Student, Skagit Valley Community College Dear Ron, It was such a pleasure to get to know you more this past week. Thank you for the insights that you shared with Dianne and I. Isn't it amazing that the more we learn the more we realize how much there is to learn! You are a fascinating person with much to give. Lucky is the one who crosses your path. My mind is often drawn to the hypnosis techniques that you shared with Dianne and I on Wednesday. If there is any way possible I could buy a tape of you or the script for that, please let me know. That was the deepest and quickest trance that I have ever achieved. My future clients would be most indebted to you if I could utilize your knowledge. I look forward to growing our friendship. Keep in touch. Yours truly, Lisa Cotter Cht Dear Mr. Stubbs, As a student of Devry Institute in Irving, Tx., I am writing a research paper for my English class on the need for recognition, by the general public, of the therapeutic value and de-mystification of hypnosis. I was impressed by an article you wrote called "Magic Happens...A Placebo Story", which I found on the "Hypnogenesis" website. This story is a perfect example of sound therapeutic use of hypnosis, at least from a layman's point of view. Sincerely, Tony Maldonado Ron-Thanks again for the wonderful training in Phoenix. I am also interested in information on your training in Seattle. Thanks again, Linda Trumpfheller Hypnobirthing student “You may not remember me but I remember you ... you kindly shared some of the information Kevin Hogan delivered at the NGH seminar regarding covert hypnosis (I couldn't attend the presentation due to a schedule conflict) ... it was like being in a private classroom when talking to you. (It was the afternoon of the day before you had to leave to return to home.) Well, I just received the text for the Covert Hypnosis manual and you were right!!! (Yes, I did have a hint of doubt since you didn't have one left to show me --) There is a wealth of information and I greatly appreciate the time you took with me. Again, thank you sooooo much! And I hope your business on the west coast continues to expand and grow exponentially ... you sure did show alot of enthusiasm for the work you are doing.” Stephanie L. Labanowski-Bonner Center for Synergy Consulting Services, LLC ************************************************************************************ A Success Story** Weight Loss In the summer of 1998, I turned 49 years old. The thought of my 50th birthday being just one year away was very unsettling. The half-century mark is not a milestone most women look forward to under any circumstances, and I was no exception. What made it even more difficult for me was that over the previous 10 years, I had carelessly allowed myself to gain a great deal of weight. So, not only was I beginning to feel 'old', but I also felt fat and ugly. Looking in the mirror one day, I did some honest soul-searching and came to the obvious conclusion that my appearance could be vastly improved by losing weight. I was certain that a thinner, healthier body would also improve my attitude and spirit, giving me a positive outlook for the second half of my life. Around that same time, I became aware of Islelife Hypnosis and decided to try that as an aid to my weight loss goal. I contacted Ron Stubbs and set up an appointment. I'd always been curious about hypnosis and heard success stories of it being very helpful to people in a variety of ways, including smoking cessation and weight loss. From the moment I met Ron, I was comfortable with him and confident I'd made a wise choice in seeking his help. He put me at ease with his kind and gentle manner, explaining in layman's terms the journey into my sub-conscious we were about to embark upon together. It was an extremely peaceful experience in every way, and when it was over, I felt completely refreshed. A few days later, I returned for another session. I remember everything we talked about on both occasions. It was an exploration into poor eating habits I developed as a child and continued with off and on throughout my adult life. Many of the reasons why I often turned to food for comfort were also revealed. Ron helped me to discover the source of my weight problem, and offered positive alternatives to past behavior patterns that resulted in over eating. I began to change my diet to a healthier one, drastically reducing my calorie intake by eating the 'right' foods in moderate amounts. I stopped turning to snacks when I was bored, focused on new interests, and started getting more exercise. The weight immediately began to come off. I kept a weekly record of my progress, weighing in every Monday morning and writing it down on a calendar. As the weeks went by and that number got smaller, my spirits and confidence soared. It got easier and easier to lose unwanted pounds because good nutrition started to become a habit, and the positive results were my reward. From August of 1998 to July of 1999 when I turned 50 years old, I lost 110 pounds. By October of that year, I was down another 20, making my grand total an incredible 130 pounds. I went from size 22 to size 8. My life has changed in ways I can't begin to describe, all of them for the better! Not only do I have a confident self-image and attitude, I also look at the rest of the world through more positive eyes. Everything, including me, seems very much alive and vibrant. I've never felt so good physically and emotionally. For anyone who is ready, willing and determined to make a positive change in his or her lifestyle through weight loss, I highly recommend Islelife Hypnosis. Ron Stubbs helped me start my incredible journey to improved health and newfound happiness.
