Working with Joan was incredible -- she understood immediately what I was looking to achieve and we made significant progress in just a few sessions.

All of our sessions were virtual -- I still felt completely connected and was even more relaxed being in the comfort of my own home. I had lifelong fears of public speaking and after a few sessions have been able to begin presenting again with ease. Joan is an expert at what she does and explains every step of the process in detail for those who are looking to learn!  DM NYC

“I had a great experience with Joan. I reached out to her about hypnotherapy and how it could help with my anxiety and panic attacks.

I had never done hypnotherapy before, but Joan was very informative and clear on what I should expect and her unique approach. I did four sessions with her virtually (great for Covid purposes) and it was incredibly helpful. She took the time to get to know me and based each session and treatment on present anxieties I was dealing with. I was able to let go, relax and really find my inner subconscious. I found myself learning more about myself and different coping strategies that worked for me. Previous to this, I was not big on meditation - I have a very wondering mind and found it hard to concentrate, but I had no problem finding my "deep sleep" with Joan. I would highly recommend and will continue to to explore the wonders of hypnotherapy with her! “ EC NYC

Joan is absolutely phenomenal and has become a trusted advisor to me.

For those living the fast paced lives so many of us do, finding balance can be a regular struggle and Joan has worked with me have the right tools to tackle challenges in a productive way and hold onto long term balance in my life. Could not recommend Joan enough.” LC NYC

“Joan will make you feel comfortable no matter what age or background you are.

Anyone and everyone can benefit from her practice. It’s more than just hypnosis, but a new and refreshing way of looking at yourself, your choices, and at life. Joan’s work is truly transformative... and I honestly can’t wait to come back!” AM LI

“I met Joan prior to competing on a ninja warrior show.

I felt completely out of space and anxious to finally compete. Seeing Joan every week prior to me stepping on the big stage was transforming and so what I needed in the right time. I was able to transfer a lot of the therapy work to everyday living on how I approach situations in life that get me out of whack. I was the type for years that simply steered clear of any form of therapy but sitting down with Joan for 5 minutes before stepping foot into her work space made me feel such at ease and she has an amazing gift with connecting with people. Thank you Joan for everything you continue to do.” R.G.

“I really saw a shift in my internal self talk which is so impactful.” KH

I can’t speak highly enough about Joan Teasdale.

I’ve been seeing Joan off and on for several years now and my only regret is that I didn’t start seeing her when I was in my 20’s!

Originally, I saw Joan for anxiety which I’d suffered from for years.  Surprisingly,  I gathered tools to use for myself and quickly moved toward other “issues”.

I’ve learned to access my subconscious and to realize my goals and dreams. Mostly when I’ve come to understand is that nothing needs to be difficult or hard. My dreams are falling into place with little effort on my part.

Joan made me feel very safe from the beginning and my fears of hypnosis- of perhaps feeling out of control - went away immediately.

I feel blessed to have Joan as a resource I can turn to again and again - it’s like getting a tune up for my car!

Allow the goodness and joy and acceptance of everything you desire and deserve. Joan will assist you in your journey.   MH NYC

“I’ve been a lifelong nail biter and truly thought there weren’t any options for me to stop the habit.

Fast forward to after a session with Joan and my nails are happily growing! I was even feeling compelled to paint them (I think for the first time in my entire life!) and feel proud to show them off now. Gone are the days of going to great lengths to hide my nails, which contributed to a general lower confidence. What I appreciate most is that with Joan’s approach, I’ve been able to just decide on a very practical level that I don’t want to bite my nails. I always had the impression that for hypnosis to be successful, you’d have to become literally disgusted at the prospect of picking up the habit again. I’m grateful that this achievement for me isn’t coming from a place of negativity or shame, but from a place of sustainable, steady, conscious thinking. Joan also takes the time to really equip you with the background knowledge of what you’re working on during the session and why. I feel empowered to see other “bad” habits or behaviors I want to stop NOT as inevitable but rather as something I do have control over and can change for myself.”

“Joan has amazing professional techniques that helped me overcome years of sleepless nights! 

I highly recommend her to anyone needing hypnosis assistance.  Her therapeutic and professional approach is superb!” PM NYC

“After 3 sessions with Joan, I can say with full sincerity that working with her has opened up my heart in some very profound ways.

I initially visited her with hopes of cutting down on bad habits, which was addressed early on and successfully, but as we’ve gotten to know each other, we have focused on more personal, abstract areas of my life. Our first session tackled the tangible things, like my bad habits, freeing us up to work on self-esteem issues, blockages in my friendships and a life-long battle with chronic pain. “Opening my heart” is the best way I can think to explain how she has changed me. I feel an inner calm that has helped me become a much better listener, both to myself and to people in my life. My issues have not disappeared entirely, but rather, she has helped me reframe my own thoughts regarding these issues and constantly makes me feel like I have a true champion on my team. She is kind, supportive and very intelligent. I am a somewhat guarded person emotionally, but I have found myself opening up to her easily and each time I leave a session, I feel lighter in my own body and am able to carry the feeling with me all day. In addition to the actual hypnosis, she has also given me some great (and easy!) daily tools to continue evolving my relationship with myself. I highly recommend Joan!”

“Joan has helped me to overcome hurdles and achieve goals I wasn’t sure I would.

It isn’t what is waiting around the corner that can be so daunting but taking the first step towards that corner. Through my hypnotherapy sessions with Joan and my own reflection I have come to see that for me it was not the fear of failing as much as it was the fear of trying because how can you possibly fail if you never try? With Joan’s help I have broken through the barrier that was stalling my progress. Failing is easy, life isn’t.” 

- R.D. LI NY

“When I left my first session people kept stopping me on the street to tell me what great energy I have and asked me what I was doing!

Looking forward to my next session! Joan is a highly trained and very effective practitioner! ”

“Joan is fantastic. I struggle with anxiety and self image issues that were beginning to impact many areas of my life.

After a few sessions with her I developed the skills to curb my anxiety and got to the root of my self image issues. I couldn’t recommend her more!!” 

- S.F. NYC

“Joan is an incredibly compassionate, intuitive, and brilliant healer, and I am so grateful to have crossed paths with her.

When I unearthed the gem that is Joan three months ago, I was at my wit’s end with a decade-long struggle with chronic illness. I had seen dozens upon dozens of doctors/healers (both traditional and extremely woo-woo), spent thousands upon thousands of dollars, and felt like I’d tried just about everything. But I hadn’t tried Joan.

It’s difficult to summarize all of the personal revelations and transformations that took place during our six sessions, but I can say that Joan helped me realize why all of my previous efforts had been ineffective and she helped me heal. Consciously I desperately wanted to be healthy, I was holding on to subconscious beliefs and thought patterns (picked up from childhood, my experience with chronic illness, or just culture at large), which were inhibiting and sabotaging my progress. Through a skillful combination of conversation, hypnosis, and guided imagery, Joan helped me identify and reprogram these limiting beliefs and patterns so that I could get out of my own way and start healing.
In our six weeks together, I felt more improvement than I had in the previous six years. In six weeks. That still blows my mind. I went from living in a constant state of fear, anxiety, and general dis-ease to approaching each day with a sense of joy, purpose, and excitement. There are, of course, still moments where my old limiting ways of thinking creep in, but I now have the tools to recognize and transform them. My subconscious beliefs are now aligned with my conscious intentions and desires, I no longer feel like I’m constantly fighting against a rushing current. Now I am flowing with the current: growing, healing, and succeeding with a sense of ease I never even knew was possible.

Just a few months ago, I remember feeling so desperately ill and reading reviews like this and hoping that someday I would get to a place where I felt well enough to write one. I am eternally grateful to Joan for helping me reach that place.”

“With the up coming knee replacement on my mind and stressing me out and the constant hearing that recovery is the most painful of surgeries,

I contacted Joan thru a small ad found in Westview a local West Village publication. She worked with me to allay my nervousness; it was a cross between having your own cheerleader and a coach. I came thru the surgery with a positive attitude and a recovery as a way to do something good for yourself.  Another plus, Joan is accomplished aromatherapist supplying me with essences to help with sleep and salves to help with pain. Her generosity extended to visits to my home and to the facility that I went to for recover. Another knee replacement awaits in the wings but this time I know where to go.”

“Joan was an instrumental caring person who was part of my healing team.  Last year I was suffering from Eczema that was all over my body.  

I was geographically challenged to see Joan in person because I live on the West Coast of B.C., in Canada. Thank goodness for modern day technology as Joan and I were able to have all of our sessions via FaceTime.  Joan’s kind and caring manner helped heal my inner world and she was able to calm my mind and heart with her wonderful hypnotherapy.  With deep gratitude, thank-you Joan!”

“I turned to Joan Teasdale’s hypnotherapy after years of trying to address fears of intimacy through talk therapy, couples counseling, 12 step groups and even a shaman and a psychic. Many of those approaches helped me understand my problems intellectually, but did not change them.

It was frustrating to simply know more but not alter my hidden assumptions. Joan helped push some of the obstacles of consciousness aside and dig deeper into the subconscious where my fears are rooted. While my intellect was defensive at first, some of the barriers started to open after several sessions. On many occasions after hypnotherapy  I would find my subconscious revealing things to me with vivid dreams. I feel I have made more progress with Joan’s approach than with other therapeutic approaches I have tried. My state of mind continues to evolve and I am more confident that the behaviors I want will follow.”

“Our work together has been a game-changer for me. Joan’s insight, patience and expertise has allowed us to accomplish so much in such a short time.  Professionally, she helped me stop the loop of negative thinking which had settled in, unwittingly, over the last few years. 

Working with more positive imagery has allowed me to commit to a new business venture and weather the ups and downs more easily.  Personally, I have new relationships and deeper old relationships. When I leave our sessions, the feeling of relaxation and serenity is astonishing.  I could never have anticipated the positive effects hypnosis has had on my state of being.  Most of all, I am so grateful to have found a skilled practitioner like you, Joan.  Thank you.”

“I’ve struggled with sleep issues for years and Joan dramatically improved my ability to achieve deep sleep and has greatly improved the overall quality of my life.

Joan Teasdale is a miracle worker. I live a fast paced fairly stressful lifestyle with lots of travel”.

“Joan offer’s tremendous insight through her hypnosis sessions. I’ve found them to be immensely valuable.”

- Nick G, NYC

“This has been helpful for the understanding of the mind body connection. It’s helpful for me to understand that self improvement does not need to be hard.

It’s also helped me to develop a sense of trust. Joan is unique in her approach towards listening and using real wants and needs in therapy.” 

- W.K. NYC

“Joan’s intuition is spot on! She “got me” in the first 30 minutes of our session.

Her knowledge of hypnotherapy and training the subconscious mind is outstanding. My sessions exceeded my expectations as I felt like I had experienced hypnotherapy, psychiatric counseling & life coaching all rolled into one session!” 

- B.C. NYC

“I just wanted to let you know that I had such an uplifting day after our session yesterday. It was the most positive that I have felt in a long time.”

“Joan Teasdale is a miracle worker!

I had my doubts about hypnotherapy, but, as a writer and as someone who’s suffered from anxiety my entire life, I discovered how easy it is to let go, imagine the life I want, and allow it to happen. Joan is the real deal, sincere, trustworthy, caring. Are you feeling stuck and want to live your best life? Start with Joan!”

“Joan opened a door to the possible in my life, I found an angel!

Under immense despair and after investing a lot of money in medications, pills, and other therapies to combat insomnia and anxiety I found Joan. I have always been intrigued by hypnotherapy but lacked credibility in it. I began my first session with Joan with all the faith in the world, for me she was my only option after trying so much. The first session was a success and without exaggeration, I was able to get better sleep, an effect that no insomnia pill could achieve. I continued with Joan  and if I am honest I wish I had found Joan sooner. Each session helped me discover the potential of my mind and body. In the same way, I was able to understand why I was so vulnerable to the energy around me and to know what to allow into my life. Thanks to Joan, I began to believe in myself, began to take care of myself and prioritize. Today I can say that I am still building the healthiest greatest version of me with a better perspective, more alive, more complete, more determined!  ER

“I originally went to Joan upon a friend’s recommendation.

He had amazing results and he said that anyone should try it for anything if they are looking for self-improvement. I decided to go for overall confidence and relationship issues. I have found clarity and calmness and have been able to move forward in my life with less anxiety and more happiness thanks to Joan. I can’t recommend it enough.” A.H. NYC

“Working with Joan was life changing for me. I am currently in the process of starting my own business and working as a yoga teacher.

Joan had a huge part to do with my transition into achieving my dreams. There is no question in my mind about the decision that I made to work with Joan. It has been a miracle and I am beyond grateful for all of her guidance and support.”

“I had been informed by a physician (a well as a therapist) to try hypnosis for a mild disorder that has plagued me for the majority of my life. Years had passed with no solution or cure, only brief periods of respite. During my sessions with Joan, it didn’t take long for me to notice that not only was the issue that I had originally gone to see her for was being addressed but somehow subtly everything in my life was being addressed and guided favorably forward, gently but effectively. I followed her instructions while “under” and at home and somehow, I can’t say quite when, but I noticed that during the 6 weeks I saw her that my condition went away.” 

- J.W. NYC

“Hypnosis is the most amazing experience I have ever had. I have never been as relaxed, balanced and centered.

I smiled for a week after my first session. I could not get the smile off my face. The hypnosis has given me more stability, which improved my relationship tremendously. I have had 12 sessions of hypnosis and feel like I have reached goals. The imagery excites me most.” 

- A.S. Los Angeles, CA

“By far, the best experience.

Her approach is humble, wise, and so comfortable - I feel like I have know her forever or in a past life. She did an amazing job tapping into my the real root of my issues and it allowed me to let them pass into oblivion. Thank you Joan. S.VH. NYC

“Thank you deeply for meeting with me last week and taking me through my first hypnosis. Since then, I truly feel different – more positive, relaxed, and at peace.

I was wondering if you have the availability to meet again. I’m also wondering how we would hypothetically move forward if I were to come on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.” 

- C.T. NYC

“Joan is a great hypnotherapist. Highly recommended. I was a little skeptical at first, but I keep coming back because it's been so helpful. Hypnosis works.” N.P.

“I am feeling fantastic since our first session and sleeping good.

My venting dreams are are pretty vague thus far, but I am having them. I’m very interested in booking more sessions.”
