SPIRITUAL GROWTH and WORTHINESS:
"Working with Laura has been a transformational experience that continues to leave a lasting impression on my spiritual journey.
From our initial introductory call until our final hypnotherapy session, Laura demonstrated the compassion and care that any client would expect. She gained my trust from day one. She also went the extra mile in making sure I was comfortable and safe working with her.
I highly recommend working with Laura. Her professionalism, compassion, and heartfelt willingness help to leave a lasting impression on anyone who works with her."

INTUITIVE READING and HEALING:
"Laura did a distance Reiki for my son (who was on another continent), who was suffering from multiple spinal injuries. My son was in a very bad state, because previous surgeries and hardware were coming apart and his neck was collapsing. My son was in extreme pain in his head and his body was becoming paralyzed. Nothing helped with the pain and he couldn’t sleep.
Laura did not know the specifics of my son’s condition, yet she was able to “see” it in detail during her treatments. With Laura’s Reiki treatments, my son was able to sleep, and he felt more at ease and peaceful, which was a huge relief. In the process of her Reiki treatments, Laura also received intuitive information that helped bring emotional relief to my son, and she was spot on as to what was happening.
Laura was very professional in her work. Laura is kind, caring and a wonderful intuitive healer and psychic-medium. I appreciate her support so much. I would highly recommend working with Laura."

INTUITIVE READING:
"Laura’s intuitive reading provided clarity on a personal issue I was struggling with. Her reading highlighted the inner conflict I was having and gave me a deeper sense of understanding and permission to let go. Because of that, I have been able to allow something bigger and better into my life, and I am so grateful. Laura has a unique gift of tapping into the energy and providing guidance that is both comforting and empowering. I walked away from the reading feeling lighter and more hopeful about the future. I highly recommend Laura to anyone seeking clarity, guidance, and validation. Thank you for your amazing gift and for providing me with such a powerful reading."

OVER-THINKING AND UNDER-DOING:
"I went to Hyde Park Hypnosis and Coaching to work with Laura Skosey on resolving issues of overthinking and analyzing situations with never executing on any plan. I worked on unknown feelings of not being good enough and being stuck in the motions of life controlling me.
I saw results in understanding how old thoughts and patterns gave misinformation in my mind and behavior. Over the course of our sessions, I learned to trust myself and step into new situations and the future, and I gained the tools for me to help myself in the future. I achieved a better understanding of self and how to trust my intuition and my divine self. I have already experienced successes.
Laura was very supportive in my journey, is very well trained and experienced in hypnotherapy, and provided me a clear understanding of the process. Laura held me accountable on assignments and goals between sessions that I had committed to complete each week. I highly recommend working with Laura and Hyde Park Hypnosis and Coaching. This process can help so many avenues of life.
Do you want to feel good about yourself and become motivated to realize your full potential in life? Then contact Laura to see how she can help you."

GETTING UNSTUCK, LEARNING SELF-TRUST, FINDING LIFE PURPOSE:
"I decided to work with Laura because I felt stuck. I no longer trusted my decision-making capabilities, my intuition, or my purpose in life, despite the fact that this hadn’t been the case previously. Laura used techniques to clear past traumas. I had issues/events from decades ago I hadn’t remembered or even knew were a problem but which had kept me stuck in a negative loop, preventing me from moving past certain current life circumstances. These situations and life events were affecting my sleep, my confidence, and my peace of mind until Laura gave me the tools that I needed to help myself. Not only do I now sleep like a baby, but I have more energy and I’ve gained valuable information that has helped propel my life forward in a positive way!
One of my favorite statements that Laura shared with me, and which she had learned from one of her teachers, was that “life is happening for me, not to me!” I love this, as it gave me an entirely new perspective on and insight into the world, allowing me to interpret situations in a more positive light.
Laura has a very calm and reassuring voice that projects nothing but positivity and light, but don’t let this fool you: She is no pushover, as she really makes you think and work towards your goals. If you want someone to tell you what to do, she is not the person for you. She knows that true healing comes from a place of inner knowing that a change needs to be made and then actually putting in the work to achieve those goals. Her expectations are high and working with her was a true blessing! I believe our paths were meant to cross.
Let Laura be your guide if you truly value transformation! She does not disappoint! She is knowledgeable, an expert in her field, caring, kind, and patient. Laura makes you feel like you are her only client and because of her my life has changed for the better!
Thank you, Laura!"

BODY-FOCUSED-REPETITIVE-BEHAVIORAL DISORDER:
“I came to Laura new to hypnotherapy with the goal of releasing a body-focused-repetitive-behavioral (BFRB) disorder that I let consume my identity and adversely affect my emotional growth throughout my teens and twenties, and, for the second half of the latter, my career and even relationship choices. I've known about a range of productive coping skills to help reduce engagement with this particular BFRB but lacked a willingness to use them despite wanting better for myself.
During hypnotherapy sessions, Laura created a trusting environment that enabled me to access those parts of myself that I was suppressing. Her individualized approach helped me articulate the internal factors that I've let repeatedly reinforce my long-held resistance to leading a life free of the fatigue, embarrassment, and shame often tied to this BFRB. Hands down, Laura is the reason I was able to clear out the blockage, stop self-pitying, and start using the coping skills in my proverbial toolbox.
Through this newfound commitment to helping myself, I sought additional coping skills from Laura that are great for life and even relevant to releasing this BFRB. Laura showed me how, for example, in matters of self-talk, the words I choose and when I choose to use them inform the extent of my accountability to myself, and how that level of accountability translates into my relationship with myself. Because of Laura and her commitment to helping me implement manageable steps for improving my outlook on my life, I pay a lot more attention to the language I use and take greater ownership of my decisions and how much significance I attach to them.
Laura's also given me deep mindfulness skills that are practical and easy-to-integrate -- since seeing her, I've surprised myself and friends with the positive musings that have flown from my mouth impulsively on a few occasions. I am in a lot better mental shape now because of Laura's help. Again, I initially went to her for hypnotherapy, but as she was so patient and nonjudgmental, and genuine in her commitment to helping me help myself, I decided to seek life coaching skills from her, as well.
Between hypnotherapy and life coaching with Laura, I have energy and happily work every day to focus my attention on the aspects of my life that will push me closer to my goals. What can I say? I'm soaring."

SMOKING CESSATION:
“Cigarettes had been companion since I was 15 years old. I enjoyed smoking, and naively thought I was smoking on my terms, since I was not one of those smokers with a raspy voice and leathery skin. With each passing year, and after strings of failed attempts to quit, I was becoming increasingly worried that cigarettes had gained complete control over me. A closet smoker for nearly 25 years, I became an expert at lying to those around me, and most importantly, to myself. I felt like a failure not being able to quit doing something I knew was terrible for me. I was also failing my daughter, after promising her I would quit, but not doing so.
During the time Laura was working with me as a life coach focusing on aspects of my professional and personal growth, it was evident that the inability to quit smoking weighed heavily on me. As I learned she was working with another client with a similar challenge, I immediately asked for her help. She suggested I try hypnotherapy for smoking cessation. I was at first dubious, not having experienced hypnotherapy before, but one thing I was sure of: my absolute trust in Laura. Laura personalized a plan by helping me understand and own why I smoked, as well as why I wanted to quit, and she taught me how to deal with those trigger moments.
Laura was always patient, gentle, understanding, and, when necessary, firm. As part of her holistic and methodical approach, daily assignments and practices were given, to which Laura joined the life coaching principle of accountability. It was a labor of love and coming to acceptance of my role in accomplishing my goal, but in just a few sessions, I was able to do so.
It has been three years now since I said goodbye to my companion of 25 years. There are moments I want to light up ‘one last time,' but during those moments I take a deep breath, and Laura’s voice floats through my mind, hugging me with warmth and strength, and reminding me that it is my choice to be smoke-free.
Laura’s hypnotherapy is a gift to anyone with a desire to start a new life pattern or habit. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Laura Skosey. Thanks to her, I now celebrate a smoke-free lifestyle.
P.S. To Laura, I am forever grateful for you.”

CAREER and PERSONAL GOALS:
“In just a few months working with Laura I was able to get 'unstuck' from a place I’d been stuck in for nearly a decade! Laura’s coaching style is gentle, yet persistent. She inspired me to reflect and to shift my perspective, while gently pushing me to confront the thoughts and feelings that were holding me back.
Each session was extremely productive. Laura has an amazing depth of expertise which is manifested in the way she selected the most appropriate tool to guide me through a particular problem, or to chellenge me and give me insights to continue to move forward after our session was over.
I started my coaching and hypnotherapy sessions with the expectation that I would gain some practical tools for achieving my goals. I did not anticipate the dramatic impact that working with Laura would have on my life -- not only do I feel different, but other people have noticed positive changes in me, as well.
With Laura's guidance, suport, and encouragement, I am able to pursue a path that had previously seemed impossible."

REIKI TO PROVIDE RELIEF FROM PHYSICAL PAIN AND DISCOMFORT:
“I am a seasoned Reiki client, and have had the privilege of working with truly gifted healers. Dr. Laura Skosey is at the top of the list. Her treatment of intense post-dental operation swelling and pain were dramatically effective. Two days after surgery I woke up in Seattle, Washington with such severe swelling that my left eye could barely open. I arranged for a Reiki session with Dr. Skosey for that morning. I felt the effects of the treatment almost immediately, and within a short while the swelling on the upper part of my face was completely reduced, and the pain virtually eradicated. Additionally, I had an internal sense of balance and peace.
I am especially grateful that, notwithstanding our physical distance, I am able to avail myself of Dr. Skosey's treatment, which is empathic, gentle, and extremely effective.”
~~ Lynn P.
SELF-CONFIDENCE and PHYSICAL AILMENTS:
“Laura started working with me as my personal coach. Through her inquiry and guidance, I learned how to overcome limiting belief patterns as they related to starting my own coaching business. With Laura’s assistance I was able to develop a clear vision of what I wanted to achieve in my new career.
In her approach to working with me, Laura has used hypnotherapy and various processes in combination with exercises that helped me become more self-aware and ready to face new challenges that I previously believed difficult, or even impossible, to manage. Laura used hypnotherapy as a means of unlocking the root causes of my blockages. After a few sessions of hypnotherapy, I was able to release my fears and I now have the confidence to move forward with my business plans with purpose and determination.
Laura has taught me invaluable tools and techniques that I have since incorporated into my personal and professional lives, giving me amazing results in every area of my life. In addition, Laura has recently helped me by applying long distance Reiki healings when I was experiencing unexplained severe joint pain in my entire body. Laura did not know the details of my illness, nor did she know in which part of my body the ailment was manifesting itself. Through her intuitive abilities, Laura was able to locate the root cause of my pain. Her insights finally lead to a clear diagnosis by my medical team, that otherwise might have been missed. I am now receiving suitable medical treatment and am on the way to a full recovery.
I am eternally grateful to Laura for her extraordinary healing abilities and insights. Laura is a highly competent and gifted coach, hypnotist, and Reiki healer. She has the unique talent of applying her skills gently and compassionately by giving deep consideration to each situation. Laura brings a high degree of professionalism to her work that is paired with a deep sense of caring for her clients. With Laura’s guidance I learned how to tap into my own inner wisdom so I can live the life of my dreams. I highly recommend Laura to anyone who is committed to making a change in their lives in order to fulfill the highest expression of their true nature.”

CLARITY TOWARDS NEXT STEPS:
“My experience with Laura as my coach has been an absolute success. I was skeptical about coaching as a concept, but the first session made me realize how much we can achieve if guided and helped to uncover our own abilities to change, to find the right path, to understand ourselves better.
Laura is the person who listens and is able to guide me to see issues and problems from a completely different perspective, one that I was not sure I had. From the very first session, I started to feel so much better. It's truly remarkable how Laura can unearth the capabilities that lie within me and that help me to change the way I think. All her efforts go into building that repository of skills so I can deal with my issues and learn how to approach problems from a different angle -- the positive, creative, forward-looking one. I'm very happy that I can do these sessions with Laura. She does make a huge difference, and I know that going forward I will only continue to feel this difference even more.
I highly recommend Laura. I believe that she was born to help people, and coaching is a perfect fit for her personality and her heart!”

HEALING EMOTIONAL WOUNDS and SELF-EMPOWERMENT:
“I highly recommend Laura Skosey! Laura’s highly professional manner conveys confidentiality and confidence in her ability as a Coach, and gives clients ease knowing their privacy is honored and respected.
Laura is very intuitive and brings that awareness to the sessions. Her friendly nature allows you to feel comfortable expressing the issues or concerns that you’re facing. I felt heard, which is so important when dealing with matters of the heart. Laura has a way of assisting you in gaining clarity, using Coaching techniques, Hypnotherapy, and Reiki. All these techniques are extremely helpful at getting to the core of the problem, so you can work through it and release it.
The overall experience is loving in nature, and I made ground breaking revelations which aided in my healing of old emotional wounds, and patterns of behavior in my thinking and being. It felt great knowing that I was supported through the Coaching sessions, and even after the fact.
I absolutely adore this lady and I’m so grateful for what she was able to help me accomplish in my transformation and awareness. Amazing experience!”

MOVING THROUGH GRIEF:
"I have always believed that my family and I have been blessed in life -- with love and good health foremost. When cancer ravaged and took my beloved father, all of life's blessings seemed to vanish, and grief became a way of everyday life. But the Universe sent me my friend and life coach, Laura Skosey, to guide and nurture me, and remind me that my life still holds joy, and that honoring my father's memory does not mean I have to be sad each and every moment.
Thank you, Laura, for your patience and love, your support and guidance, and for giving me the skills I need to move forward in my life without the grief that had paralyzed and devastated me. Without you, Laura, I would not have been able to help myself. I am forever grateful.
Each of us, on this human journey, will at some point find ourselves in a life situation that we feel unable to overcome without the assistance of another caring person. I thank the Universe for Laura Skosey, life coach extraordinaire, whose wisdom and compassion positively changed my worldview. This has been the most healing experience of my life.”

MOVING TOWARDS LIFE'S PASSIONS:
My experience with Laura has been amazing! I have let go of so much past trauma, and I’ve let go of lifelong grudges. 7th Path® Self-Hypnosis has really opened my eyes to past, present and future me. I’ve always had a strong connection with and love for animals. My sessions have taught me that I am on the right path, that I am going in the right direction.
I have learned so much from Laura, and her guidance has truly helped me move forward. She has shown me that dreams are possible. I have always wanted to be able to communicate with animals and now I believe I can.
Thank you so much for your guidance, Laura. I am so grateful for meeting you!"

RELATIONSHIPS and LIFE EXPANSION:
“Laura calls herself a coach. I think of her more as a seer, uncannily knowing exactly where to move the conversation to help me explore and grow, both spiritually and emotionally. Her heart is open and wide, plus she’s smart. Since working with Laura, my daily life has been enriched, and my dreams have found form. What more could one ask?”
