Mary Beth
My name is Mary Beth and I am recommending Herrick Hypnosis; as a hypnotist, Linda thoroughly explained the hypnosis process and answered all my questions and concerns regarding my hypnosis session. I’d leave her with a relaxed, peaceful disposition and steps closer to or even completion of my goal regardless of what that would be. She is ethical and client centered. I highly recommend her.
As an hypnosis teacher, the same ethical, student centered applications apply. She explains the hypnosis process in detail. A history of hypnosis is provided and discussed. It’s important to understand the beginning concepts of hypnosis and see how it has evolved into a therapeutic avenue to discover a deeper meaning of the issues to be addressed. It is also imperative to practice the different approaches to induction and client issues resulting in a successful session. She provides everything you need to become a successful hypnotist, even confidence.
I was amazed at how much I learned about myself from taking this coursework. I see people very differently now; how their journey is not my journey and to respect where they are even though it is different from where I am. Helping people sort out parts of their life to make more sense to them is very satisfying to me. In a short time I have assisted with smoking cessation, weight control, stress relief and insomnia. I am completely satisfied with the training I received from Herrick Hypnosis as a student. I highly recommend Herrick Hypnosis for hypnosis and training to become a hypnotist.

What I liked the most was the environment combining practice along with the knowledge. Also, having Linda’s support – she makes sure we feel confident, prepared and expecting success. She also takes time to add special features – such as special guest Hypnotists. She conducts a demonstration for the class with a student, so we can see how a professional does it. Linda has done this for many many years and she knows what we need to bring–it-all-together. I feel very good that the level of education and practice I have received will assist me in jump starting my practice in a successful way. If you love hypnosis – then this is the class for you. Linda makes sure all she covers is with high
integrity, and high ethics. She offers a wonderful blend of knowledge and practice. She is all about creating a caring and wonderful environment where one experiences and learns, where they can stretch their wings and not be afraid, she is all about giving everyone what they need in order to be successful.

The best part of the class is the good communication of the teacher and the connection that she has with the
students. I would say that it is a good experience and you will know more things about yourself.
Overcoming Fears
Nijole A.
“I met wonderful lady, Linda Herrick, and after a couple appointments with her I GOT MY LIFE BACK.
My husband and I own a sailboat and we do charters. We sail a lot and I enjoyed it, if conditions were perfect. But that was not always the case, strong winds on Lake Michigan are pretty common and that terrified me. It came to the point, were I was dreading every sailing trip we had to make. I was constantly checking the weather. DEBILITATING. NO FUN AT ALL. My husband did not enjoy it either, because he saw how hard it is on me. Anyway, it was fear that was not real, but I did not know how to deal with it. Three visits in person and one phone call, that’s all it took for miss Linda Herrick to do her magic.
I have so much fun now. Truly enjoy sailing. It is really fun to watch my husbands surprised face, when the wind is strong, the boat is on its side and I am at the helm, completely relaxed, carrying conversation and making jokes.
Ladies, if you have phobia of any kind: DO NOT LIVE WITH IT. It can be gone and you can be FREE. Let Linda do her magic – and I mean, it’s magic! Thank you so much Linda. You are making me so happy everyday. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR WORK.”
Anxiety Relief
Katrina E.
“I was amazed how easy it was to feel comfortable and at ease. I learned that I can love myself instead of being a bag of nerves all the time. Linda was an amazing instructor. She is gentle, understanding and has a wonderful energy to be around.”
Hypno-Childbirth
Jenine C.
“I have used Linda’s hypnotherapy to help ease the pains of natural childbirth for the births of both our children. My husband and I were absolutely amazed at how effective the hypnotherapy was, so we automatically knew it was a must for the next delivery. It helped relieve the labor pains and really helped me to concentrate on my breathing. By doing more effective breathing I was able to deliver without the use of pain medications, as well as having two speedy deliveries. I cannot say enough positive things about how well and effective Linda’s hypnotherapy for childbirth works! I am truly grateful to have had the experience twice!!”
Quitting Smoking
Doug’s Story
Doug K of Morris, Illinois had been smoking for 53 years when he came in for a consultation at Herrick Hypnosis. Despite trying to quit many times before without success, he still dreamed of living cigarette free. Doug had tried everything to quit smoking, including nicotine gum, the patch, and quitting cold turkey. “I wasn’t a candidate for Chantix or I would have tried that too”, he said. Doug heard about Herrick Hypnosis through his physician’s office. “I had no idea what to expect ”, he told us, “It was pleasant, relaxing… nice”, he said, recalling the sessions. Doug was a bit hesitant to share his story, “It’s kind of embarrassing, you know? …but if it will help other people find Linda and quit smoking, I have to”. After smoking for the majority of his life, during many of those years he was smoking three packs per day. After three hypnosis sessions with Linda, Doug has quit smoking completely. Doug is absolutely elated with his incredible results. He said that he always hoped to quit, but never dreamed it could be this simple. He says he would “absolutely” recommend Herrick Hypnosis to anyone who wants to quit smoking. Congratulations Doug!

Past Life Regressions
Anna’s Story
“I went to Linda for a Past Life Regression. I was curious, have had small brushes with it & also read about it. My main goal was to help me resolve things that I felt were holding me back from living this life with the fullest confidence. I have read many self-help books & done a lot of work within myself, but couldn’t seem to move past some deep seated fear.
When I went in, I recalled memories from my childhood. I had not been able to do that prior to this. I was also able to recall being in the womb & 2 past lives. I wasn’t Cleopatra or Joan of Arc, but it did help me understand several things about myself & resolve fear that was baseless in this life. It also helped me find a deep peace & trust in the Universe & the process of life & that there’s no right or wrong or better or worse. Everything is as it should be & everyone has their path. There’s a new found freedom & joy that I feel awakened to from this process.
For example, I had a debilitating fear of heights as long as I could remember. My parents often recall stories of me crying & being terrified while visiting different attractions. A few of my friends who’ve had the pleasure of being in my presence while climbing more than 2 flights of stairs could tell you, I would get dizzy, my heart would race & I would either cling to whomever was closest or hyperventilate the higher we’d go. It was embarrassing & harrowing all at the same time!
Recently, I decided that I was going to confront my fear & go to the Willis (Sears) Tower Skydeck glass ledge. “At 1,353 feet (412 meters), the Skydeck is the highest observatory in Chicago . The Ledge’s glass boxes extend out 4.3 feet from the skyscraper’s Skydeck on the 103rd floor, providing never-before-seen views of the city & unobstructed views straight down.” As we went up the elevator, I automatically felt a difference. Instead of overwhelming anxiety, I was excited. The closer we got, the more I expected for “the big fear” to hit me & it never did. As we approached the glass ledge, I felt a little nervous & as I stood there & embraced the moment, I felt it pass. I ended up having a great time!!! The fear was gone!!!
Surprisingly, this is one of the many “side effects” from doing the past life regression with Linda. Even though, we did not deal with THAT fear specifically, the peace of knowing that everything was okay no matter what had resolved it. I highly recommend her & the process!”
Many Blessings,
Anna
