*Gary Stewart
"I quit smoking using hypnotherapy in 2010. I saw Dr Tracie O’Keefe for three sessions. Smoking was a big part of my life and I found that it was anchored to everything: driving, social situations. I was worried that hypnosis wouldn’t get rid of my smoking but I can honestly say after the first session it just didn’t occur to me to smoke cigarettes. So the three sessions really enforced it for me; it has been fantastic for me. I haven’t looked back since then and I’d totallyrecommend it for anyone who is thinking about giving up smoking using hypnosis."
Results may vary according to the individual.
*Sage Godrie
"I’ve been working with Tracie O’Keefe for a couple of years now. I come to sessions in every 6 months or so and I’ve found Tracie’s sessions to be very, very helpful for me. I mainly get her advice as a life coach, helping me preparing my mindset for big events, attaining goals, just making the most of every opportunity really, and I found with Tracie’s help it actually helps to make things happen the way I want them to. She brings a lot of joy and she helps me to appreciate what I am about, who I am and that I have a purpose. And all the techniques are very easy to follow – they’re simple,but very, very effective."
Results may vary according to the individual.
*Jenny McConchie

I really recommend to anybody suffering from anxiety that they go and see Tracie because she could really help."

*Tanya Magnay Ravel
"I attended my hypnotherapy sessions with Tracie to give up smoking and I want people to have the opportunity to experience what I’ve experienced, which is the health and wellbeing for myself and my family, and my child that will be herein a few months. It’s been a life-changing experience and if you’re thinking of giving this a go, do it! Invest in it.

Results may vary according to the individual.
*Kate Hodges
"I came to see Tracie with a nail biting habit. I just had one session with her and I’m happy to say that the impulse seems to have gone. I feel more relaxed and calm. She gave me some homework to do which was excellent. And that was the one thing I think that I really got out of the session was not just to go away and expect one session to cure me but to actually put the effort into doing the meditationand relaxation between sessions. So I totally recommend the sessions with Dr O’Keefe – it certainly worked for me."
Results may vary according to the individual.
*Collin Brown
"I came in here to get hypnotised to stop smoking. I didn’t believe in it and it actually works. I’ve stopped smoking for about two weeks now and still don’t have the urge to do it. I’m gobsmacked. So if you want to quit smoking try, it. It’s the way."
Results may vary according to the individual.

I am back in Tracie's office today after two weeks and I'm feeling amazing. I couldn't imagine I’d be feeling this good. I’ve lost 4 kilos in two weeks and after not having alcohol and caffeine, I'm very much looking forward to continuing on a clean and sober life and to see how far I can go.

So it’s very highly recommended from me. "
Results may vary according to the individual.
*Jennifer, Accounts Manager
“I came to Tracie because I've been to her for another issue previously and had a lot of success so I came to see her this time because I was drinking too much red wine – anything between 5 and 7 nights a week and I wanted to stop that.

Results may vary according to the individual.
*John Kamleitner, Financial Controller
“I've been a smoker for 40 years and I was talking to a friend of mine who had received some treatment from Tracie about 8 years ago. He explained to me that the treatment helped him to get off cigarettes. I thought that would be a big challenge for me because I’ve been smoking for 40 odd years. But I took that opportunity and I'm so glad I did because I tried many different methods and none of them worked but I've been here now, this the second time I've come – it’s been a 2-week program for me and it has just worked beautifully. Even people I come across now, friends and colleagues who are smokers are quite amazed with what's happened and so I've encouraged them to seek the same treatment. I highly recommend it."
Results may vary according to the individual.

Results may vary according to the individual.
*Kevin Moran, Scaffolder

Results may vary according to the individual.
*Adam, Architect
“I came to see Tracie about two months ago. I really wanted to cut down on my drinking. I had one hypnosis session and I gave up straight away. I haven’t had a drink for 2 months and I’ve been exercising every day. I guess I was what I call a night-time drinker so I never drank during the day but it was something I wanted to do when the kids went to bed. But I felt it was slipping out of control and after just one session I’m back to normal now. Everything’s great! "
Results may vary according to the individual.

I came here for my first appointment six weeks ago and I'm happy and proud to say I'm smoke-free! I really was looking forward to meeting Dr O'Keefe because I was very keen to stop smoking and I found the first session very reassuring and non threatening and she went through the process and I found it very educational as well as helpful. I then went home and did my homework and found that six weeks later I'm still smoke-free! So thank you very much Dr O'Keefe."

“I came to see Tracie about two months ago. I really wanted to cut down on my drinking. I had one hypnosis session and I gave up straight away. I haven’t had a drink for 2 months and I’ve been exercising every day. I guess I was what I call a night-time drinker so I never drank during the day but it was something I wanted to do when the kids went to bed. But I felt it was slipping out of control and after just one session I’m back to normal now. Everything’s great! "

*Claire, Home Maker
“I’m an alcoholic. It’s taken me a lot of time to actually admit that about myself to anyone else. I’ve tried a lot of things, such as Alcoholics Anonymous. I’ve tried programs where you live in. I did them but I went back to drinking again afterwards. But I got a lot from Tracie. She gave me ideas. I couldn’t be more happy."

“I came here to Dr Tracie to quit smoking. I’d been smoking for 15 years and it was really a drag on my life. I decided to take the step to quit smoking. I’ve never felt freer. I feel like the shackles have been removed, and I feel like there’s hope for me to stop smoking for the rest of my life."

*Kristiane Heidrich, midwife
“I came to no longer have my little cigarette at the end of the day which I loved. After one session, basically a switch has been switching in my head and I feel that no longer defines me and I no longer need it. So I’m very happy!"

*Natalie Woods, Manager
“I came to see Tracie to quit smoking. I came to two sessions. After the first session, I successfully stopped smoking but I also got to take away a lot more from Tracie than I thought I would in terms of my health and in terms of strategies going forward. So I'm very happy about what I changed in in coming to see Tracie."

“I came here to stop smoking and this is my second session now. I used to smoke 3 or 4 cigarettes a day and I’ve completely stopped that now. As I said this is my second session, two weeks ago was my first one, and I haven't smoked since then. I’m really happy with the progress that I’ve had and I really want this to continue. I’m determined and focused to carry this on."

*Joseph Daaud, Property Developer
“I came to Tracie to quit smoking and I can say successfully after 2 sessions I am a non-smoker. I wouldn't even have a thought of having cigarettes again. I also became less anxious. I have better vascular energy. I'm lifting heavy weights that I ever had before and everything is just a whole lot better. Thank you very much, Tracie."

*Fred, Brick Layer
“I came to see Tracie about 15 days ago with a pretty serious alcohol problem, in denial, drinking anything up to 60 cans a week. I really wasn't confident in this type of thing working for me but my daughters put me on to it. I had one session for 2 hours and I haven’t had a beer in 15 days. So I'm back for my second visit and happy to stay like it."
