My wife and I took Noam’s Introduction to Hypnotherapy 4 week course in August. It was really an excellent intro to self-hypnosis. Noam was structured in his presentation, and skilled in his responses to questions and confusion. But the meat of the course, the experimenting with the practice, felt safe as Noam guided us through hypnosis. I feel I’ve got a good grasp on the technique, enough to go on and develop the practice for myself. I’d highly recommend him as a teacher and hypnotherapist!

Having myself found in a particular situation with a strange anxiety, and after going through shrinks, refusing to take any meds, I decided to try out hypnosis. I found Noam on here, and honestly chose him because of that picture — he just looks like a stage magician! I got excited to be rid of my mental instability. Noam’s a mild mannered, intuitive man. I had four sessions with him, and did enjoy talking with him, but — effect was null. He said that I certainly was not part of the group that can not be hypnotized — but, galaxy, he couldnt do it. I was aware throughout the whole thing and was willing to play along and I was NOT incredulous — but you can only play along so much before you realize that nothing’s happening. I still believe in hypnosis, but I certainly dont believe in Noam! I spent several hundred dollars, and am left feeling a bit of a mark. But what can you do? This is like accupuncture or palm reading, choosing alternative medicine is a gamble as it is a SUBJECTIVE medicine.

Noam helped a friend of mine to quit smoking. Sam(not his real name) smoked on and off for 25 years and had never been able to kick the habit on his own. After a few sessions with Noam, Sam now has his smoking under control and has not had one cigarette in over 4 months. plus he really enjoyed the experience.

From bad experiences I have an aversion to anything like therapy, yet when a dentist wanted to prescribe an expensive mouth guard for teeth grinding I thought maybe hypnotherapy would help — and it did. I’ve been hypnotized twice by Noam Salpeter now for two unrelated issues and each time I saw a remarkable improvement in my habits and attitude. Noam is completely approachable — like a close friend — alleviates all fear, and carefully explains exactly what and how the session will unfold. I felt totally safe and always in control and I could completely relax into the experience. I never felt any pressure to come back for endless repeat sessions. Noam wants and expects the session to work as quickly as I hoped. Considering the cost of bad habits, this is the best bang for my therapeutic buck I’ve ever experienced.
