"I developed a very serious anxiety towards undergoing a nerve surgery. Irene's calm and reassuring presence guided me through three hypnotic sessions. Visualization of safe and calming images provided tools for reducing anxiety prior to and during surgery and guidelines for recovery. I have since recommended hypnosis to several people requiring surgery and extolled the benefits of using Irene as the hypnotherapist."

"I had quit smoking a few times in the past year but failed for various reasons. The emotional roller coaster one experiences in the first month or so was basically gone with Irene's help. I respect that she has taken time to check in on me daily at times for the support and is not just out to take your money as she genuinely cares about each client. Co-workers may be seeking her assistance as we have all been trying to quit smoking and were surprised with my progress. Thanks so much for your help."

Harv Lane, Nelson, BC

"I was having panic attacks about going back to school. I had tried almost everything to get rid of them naturally with alternative medicine, but nothing seemed to help. I was about to turn to anti-anxiety pills, when a friend suggested hypnotherapy. I was skeptical, after all, nothing else had worked. After my 1st session with Irene, I left her office feeling like an elephant had been lifted off my shoulders! I drove the 1/2 hour drive home laughing almost the whole way! I am now 2 weeks away from writing my final exam and have no anxiety. I would definitely recommend Irene Mock to anyone wanting to get rid of their anxiety."

"I found my hypnotherapy sessions with Irene to be relaxing, illuminating, and productive. Relaxing, because Irene's calm and empathic manner allowed me to be totally at easy with her. Illuminating, because through her careful and competent instructions I was able to enter the hypnotic state and see myself from a different and helpful perspective. And productive, because the methods that Irene teaches can easily be taken into everyday life and applied to problem areas. Hypnotherapy is also time-efficient. I experienced positive results in coping with anxiety within a few sessions."

"I wish to thank you for your caring and thoughtful treatment sessions. I know that my 'extreme hearing sensitivity' issues were a challenging new area to your practice, and yet you found a method of helping me. Without the tapings we made of our sessions and other suggested sleep and relaxation CDs I would not have achieved either. I make regular use of all these aides and they have turned my life from a train wreck to a near normal living schedule. I also know that during rough patches help is as close as an e-mail, phone call or another session. It is nice to know that I have these further extensions of yourself.

I have recommended your help to many individuals and also to our local Hearing Loss Center. They tell me in this noisy world there are many people who suffer from sleep loss and other problems stemming from sound sensitivity.

Once again my thanks."

"I had only one session with Irene while I was pregnant. I had never given birth before and was nervous about what it might be like. Irene made me feel very comfortable and tailored the session to be as useful for me as possible. It turned out that my labour was a long one. I used these techniques throughout and found that they helped me to relax and recoup. Thanks in part to the skills that Irene taught me, I had energy to keep going, and felt calmer throughout the entire labour. I would definitely recommend using hypnotherapy for labour or any other challenging situation."

"Work with Irene has dissolved a block which came with a nattering interior voice and sucked the pleasure out of everything. It had been with me as long as I can remember. And now it has no power over me! She has given me tools to prevent its recurrence. This magic, and more, was accomplished in just three sessions. I highly recommend Irene for anyone who works in the creative fields. She understands creative processes and pitfalls as only an author (fiction) can."

S.G., Nelson, BC

"Working with Irene has been an absolutely comfortable and energizing experience. Irene provides a safe, non-judgmental space that has allowed me to zone in on challenging parts of my life and personality that had produced high anxiety states, and an eating disorder. I found hypnotherapy was a way to be curious about myself and show compassion and understanding to the things that I had previously run away from. I feel more confident in my own life and more in touch with myself. This has been such a powerful tool in my healing and I cannot thank Irene enough for being there to guide me through it."

H.L., Kaslo, BC

"For decades I had been suffering with painful self consciousness, anxiety and emotional pain that reached back to my formative years. After the first of three sessions with Irene I was surprised to find that most of my suffering simply went into the background of my being or left me entirely. While conventional talk therapy seemed to validate my issues, hypnotherapy opened different doors; this allowed me to move on with my life in a way I had not before, giving me much needed relief."

M.S., Nelson, BC

"Irene's professionalism, compassion, and knowledge create a safe and nurturing environment which fosters the opportunity for deep self-exploration and change. Under her guidance, I experienced transformative breakthroughs which freed me from patterns that had been plaguing me for years. I highly recommend her to anyone who desires lasting change in his or her life."

"I can't believe it's been almost 2 weeks already! I have noticed a significant difference in my reaction to an encounter with any insect. I still have an 'eek' reaction if I see a normal insect because it really surprises me. My heart does not race and I am not scared anymore. I am busy doing yard work today and ran into my first two large beetles. They are still scary but not nearly as much as before. I am really enjoying the gardening and yard today which is really surprising to me. It's usually a nightmare from start to finish."

A.C., Slocan Park, BC

"I really appreciate how Irene approached my unique blend of issues and integrated them into my session. Her skillful, nonjudgmental manner helped me to let go into a deep state of hypnosis where some key seeds were planted. I was a 30 year smoker and haven't smoked a cigarette since; thus, my work with Irene has been invaluable."

J.D., Boswell, BC

"I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that tomorrow I celebrate my 6th month free of smoking. If I had ever believed that I could go from 2 packs a day to smoke free in two hours, I would have done it so much sooner!!! Thank you for helping me win the toughest fight of my life."

Brad Scriver, Cranbrook, BC

"I first contacted Irene Mock to help me wit self-esteem issues which were triggering depression. I have to say that Irene was excellent from the start. She handled everything in a highly professional manner but above all, she was passionate and understanding. I could feel immediate changes on some of my issues and continued to work on others. I found Irene to be a very caring and insightful person. I would highly recommend Irene for help working through problems large or small."
