Description

Specialties

Get the tools and support you need to finally make the changes you desire. This coaching heals you body, mind and soul. My clients love the rapid, easy and fun results they get when I combine the relaxation of hypnotherapy, the targeted change power of NLP, and the healing insight of spiritual awareness. NLP is the study of human excellence and communication, and is a powerful tool to «re-​wire» unproductive subconscious patterns very quickly. The responses we have to life situations are all a product of our subconscious mind. These patterns are formed in the past, and can provide results today (feeling anxious, stressed, fear, low self-​esteem and low energy) that don’t work well. It is so easy to update these patterns, and discover amazing opportunities for a good life that are surrounding us right now. You can be a better you today.

History

Established in 1998.

I began coaching from my passion for helping people get real results while discovering the power stored within their subconscious minds. I have helped hundreds of people gain confidence and clarity, lose weight, drop unhealthy habits, release addictions and fears, reduce stress, improve studying and test taking skills, and achieve their goals: all through mind technologies that allow us to tap into your highest potential.

I began studying meditation and energy healing in 1994, and continued on to become a professionally trained psychic reader and teacher. I continued on to become Board Certified as a Hypnotherapist, a Master NLP Practitioner, a Language and Behavior Consultant and a Certified Instructor for both Hypnotherapy and NLP. All these tools work together to help heal body, mind and soul. I love helping people easily transform their lives! Let’s get started today!

I found Jenny through Unilocal and it have been the best discover I could have made, so I’ve decided to give back to the online community by adding my experience too.
I was in a challenging period of my personal and professional life. I was new in my job and felt a lot of pressure and anxiety that prevented me to shine and be myself. On the private side, I felt the urgency to grow our family but couldn’t even start planning it as my job was absorbing any energy.
In an incredibly short time, Jenny fixed all this. After a couple of months, she told me I was ready to explore myself the results of the work we did together: I couldn’t believe we were «done» already. But she was right, I’m now so much more relaxed at work and I’m finally able to enjoy my colleagues and the job challenges I get every day. I go home still full of energy and I see the possibility to finally grow our family. I’m joyful, fearless and I love the life I’m in!
Jenny works in a meticulous and scientific way. She adapts the sessions depending on the situation and she prepares in advance so to use the time in a very effective way. It’s incredible the amount of discoveries I’ve done, and I’m continuing to do, on myself. She unblocks patterns that are preventing you to live a fulfilling life. And after they are removed, you wonder how you could have lived with such burden for so long.
Thank you so much Jenny!

«Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-​becoming everything that isn’t really you so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.»
Working with Jenny has gotten me exactly that! Jenny has helped me wade through 34 years of junk & get rid of everything that didn’t fit. Now I have the time, energy, & wisdom to only focus on the people, relationships, jobs, hobbies, health & lifestyle that are fulfilling & make me happy.
In the 1.5 years I’ve worked with Jenny, she’s helped me to ACCELERATE my career — 3 promotions in 1 year! I also worked with her to craft a job description & identify my strengths so that I’m in a job that I love & I turn down job opportunities that have aspects that won’t be enjoyable to me. My professional life is soaring, & she also advises me in my entrepreneurial ventures.
Through working with Jenny I have learned a number of communication skills & tools that have TRANSFORMED my relationships with my family, friends, & acquaintances. She also has a vast network of advisors whom she has occasionally referred only when she thinks that another professional has specific skills or background that could help me navigate a situation faster. My health has also improved drastically, & I now have the physical energy to match the speed at which my mind, emotions & spirit want to function :).
What I love about working with Jenny is that we don’t just sit around & talk — we actively DO :). She has a wide range of exercises & tools from a cross section of different backgrounds. I leave her office every time feeling like I can conquer the world! If you’re wondering what life coaching is all about or if it’s for you or if Jenny can work some magic for you, I 1000% recommend giving Jenny a call. It’s not hocus pocus magic — there’s definitely some work involved — but the work you’ll do will certainly lead to the magical & awesome life you’re meant to live :).

I contacted Jenny Knowles when I was feeling very unsure about how I was going to transition from being a full time independent personal trainer into building a solid coaching business. I already had all of my skills in NLP, hypnotherapy, holistic lifestyle coaching and more, but I was missing the business strategy part.
First she helped me get beyond the issues that were leading me to overworking and under-​charging for my services and helped me get over the fear of making the «big leap». She also gave me very logical steps to follow to make the business transition easier, and has been a tremendous support on multiple levels, mental & emotional as well as with business strategy and implementation.
Something that has been equally important as starting a successful coaching practice for entrepreneurs and leaders struggling with the symptoms of ADHD, was finding the love of my life! Once I got beyond many of the issues I worked through with Jenny, I was able to open myself to having deeper relationships, and now I’m engaged to be married!

Jenny is absolutely great– she is super helpful and intuitive and great at coaching you to dig a little deeper and really reveal something new you hadn’t thought about before.
We did a coaching session around limiting beliefs, and I had some significant realizations which will help me seize future opportunities in a new way and really see things differently.
Jenny went the extra mile and also gave me some long term techniques to stay in practice and have maximum impact– much appreciated.
Time with Jenny is well spent — thanks Jenny!

I can’t say enough about how much Jenny’s coaching has changed my life. Before her help, I had spent the last several years feeling a little lost and quite frankly, insecure in nearly all of my relationships – both romantically and otherwise. After a tumultuous year of moving across the country, away from all of my friends and family, starting a new job, and ending a relationship, I was feeling like something was «missing.» After my first session with Jenny, I immediately felt things beginning to fall into place. Every session brought me closer to reaching the root of my problems and fixing them, and after each weekly meeting I left with a new life-​long lesson and saw positive changes in all aspects of my life.
What makes Jenny’s coaching so unique, is that she couples really «listening» with thoughtful insight and actual advice. But that’s not all, the NLP exercises offer amazing clarity, and stay with you long after you leave her office.
After 11 sessions, (she threw in one for free, thanks Jenny!) I can honestly say I have her to thank for helping me to become a MUCH stronger person. I now have a clear path to my goals both personally and professionally, and I am already seeing the work we did together pay off in my career and love life. I have told anyone who will listen, Jenny is worth her weight in gold! No matter what you’re going through or working on, if you want real-​world solutions, you should call on Jenny. I am eternally grateful to Jenny for her services.

A good friend of mine recommended I see Jenny to help me tackle some life issues. When I wet to see her, I did not know what to expect. I had been in therapy before and thought it would be similar. Boy was I wrong! Jenny immediately tackled the issue for which I came to see her –which was weight loss– She didn’t waste any time. Very results oriented and super nice. Through her magic she got me to be crystal clear about what it was I wanted and why I wanted it. We also worked on clearing some emotional blockage that I had around the issue. When I left her office, I felt motivated and inspired to meet my weight loss goals. Since I have seen her, I have not deviated from my plan a bit. I am more than ready to tackle this issue once and for all. Thanks, Jenny! You are awesome!

I’m pleased to write a review for Jenny (something I don’t often take time to do). She has a great presence about her and has proven time and again to be able to quickly and effectively help identify the things that are troubling me and how to go about addressing them in the manner that is most productive for me. The questions she asks and the exercises she uses help to identify where there are problems with my beliefs and thought processes, and then we quickly move to effective and lasting ways to change those beliefs and feelings in a positive way. The best part is, it sticks!

Jenny is the real deal! I couldn’t recommend her more highly. After years of feeling like I couldn’t control my weight, I went to Jenny. After the first session, I stopped craving bread (my big weakness). Without feeling hungry or deprived, I started losing weight immediately, and after 3 months, I have lost 30 pounds, and am still losing about 1 pound per week.
The crazy thing is, I’m not on a diet. With Jenny’s help, I just eat better foods.
I feel and look like I haven’t in more than 10 years. I hold myself differently, I walk differently, and my clothes don’t fit! In addition, my blood pressure is down and, I’m working with my doctor to reduce/​eliminate blood pressure and cholesterol meds. My doctor was so impressed with the changes, he asked for Jenny’s phone number so her could refer other patients to her.
In addition to weight loss, Jenny has helped me to reduce stress, relax, and feel more confident. Jenny is now helping me improve my business.
She has truly helped me transform and I’m deeply grateful.

I can’t even begin to describe how my life has changed after going to Jenny. I had always been a skeptic about hypnosis and other therapy methods, but after finding myself stuck in a rut that I was unable to pull myself out of for years, I relucantly decided to meet with her, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My life has done a complete 180, and I feel better than I have in a very long time. Jenny is warm and sincere, and I can’t recommend her more highly!

There are no words to REALLY articulate how much Effective Healing Hypnotherapy & NLP Coaching has helped me!
Coach Jenny is gentle, kind and trustworthy. My world has simply exploded in goodness ever since I started seeing her. I have started exercising, drinking water, stopped smoking and overcome the fear of living with a serious chronic illness. I also just got a huge promotion at work.
She has brought more joy & clarity than years of therapy.
NLP and hypnosis is the way to go if you are in Jenny’s hands.
She is now a lifelong friend and will always believe in her work.

Jenny is awesome. I go to Jenny when I experience any inner conflicts and she helps me to sort them out so I can move forward powerfully. Jenny has MANY tools in her tool belt. What I am most impressed with, is she intuitively uses the right tool at the right time, depending on what the moment calls for as she is working with you. She has adept skill with listening, compassion, and eliciting your own highest virtues. When you work with Jenny, you don’t get some cookie cutter script. Rather, you get her full, undivided attention, with success coaching tailored to YOU. I can honestly say Jenny has profoundly helped lead me to a new life — a new way of seeing myself, relationships, and the world. Thanks Jenny!!!

I am generally a skeptical and cautious person, particularly with new methods of treatment. However, I set aside my anxieties about NLP and decided to give Jenny a try after a friend recommended her. Working with Jenny has been such a positive experience. She is engaging, humorous, easy to talk to, and provides honest (and helpful) feedback for YOUR benefit, not hers. She is clearly not in this field to ‘suck you dry’ financially or emotionally and even gives you homework to make sure that you can continue this important work on your own if you choose.
I highly recommend her as a practitioner and hope that your experience is as wonderful as mine.

I was really nervous about this, but Jenny has a very comforting way about her. She broke down the process methodically, and every step of the way made lots of sense to me. After leaving from my first session, I had a clear idea of the beginning steps I need to take, and more importantly why.

I am honored to write a review about Jenny Knowles and Effective Healing Hypnosis and NLP. I went to Jenny to get some work done to process through losing my mother tragically in 2010. The blockages created after this extreme situation felt like I was unable to move forward in any of the goals that I had envisioned for myself. After fighting through a year of emotional destruction, I decided that I would give Jenny a chance at helping me heal.
Jenny is compassionate and empathetic in working with me around these issues and constantly pushing me towards becoming a better me and learning to dream again. I have gone to three sessions and am feeling more connected to myself and my goals as a result. I can not imagine trusting anyone else with such sensitive information and Jenny has shown integrity and professionalism in her delivery of services while I was in my most vulnerable place. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for ways to unlock their potential and move forward in achieving their life dreams.
