I have been dealing with chronic pain for over 30 years most of it I have been able to handle, lately it has gotten so much worse. I decided to look into hypnotherapy. I really like working with Melissa. After our conversations each week, I feel like she had a grasp on what my main concerns were. I will need to continue to listen to my recordings for a while since one month isn’t going to take away 30 years of chronic issues but it has helped quite a bit. Thank you so very much Melissa.

Great listener, asks great probing questions. Each session Melissa formulated on the spot a relaxation recording that very specifically touched all of the key discussion points mentioned during our call. The recording was specifically customized to areas we are working on to improve my game. More...

Hypnotherapy

I started working with Melissa for hypnotherapy after months of exhausting insomnia. From our first session, she created a safe, supportive space and tailored every technique to my specific sleep struggles. Her calm voice, clear explanations, and evidence-based approach helped me feel results quickly—by the third session I was falling asleep faster and, more importantly, staying asleep through the night.

Melissa’s follow-up resources (recorded meditations) made it easy to keep progressing between appointments. I now wake up refreshed, and my anxiety around bedtime is virtually gone.

If you’re battling insomnia and looking for a compassionate, highly skilled hypnotherapist, I can’t recommend Melissa enough. Working with her has been a genuine life-changer.

My name is Sami I am 49 years old from Louisiana! I have been struggling with my weight for my entire life!
I have done a variety of diets including gastric sleeve surgery more than 20 years ago but it really didn’t solve my actual problem which was emotional stress that caused all this emotional eating and weight gain. I reached a point that I was 275lb ! I was sick all the time . Had Depression,Anxiety. I Didn’t sleep well . Can barely walk. Had Pain all over my body. I was tired all the time. One day I woke up and decided to look for something different for weight loss plan . I started to search for days for a real way that can work on the root of my problem which’s my emotional state before my weight loss .Right there I got to see hypnosis therapy as an option that never tried before. I decided to try it and came across a Website “Ocean Of Change Hypnotherapy “ .I Started to read about Melissa Mahoney’s the hypnotherapist . Right there and then I felt that this lady will help me ! So I contacted her and had 4 sessions with her that actually changed my life. In 8 months from the moment that I started hypnotherapy with Melissa as of July 2024 ! I have lost 60 lb ! FYI ! I lost net fat not muscle mass or fluids and kept it off ! I Went down from size 22 to size 14 ! I had the power for first time to control my eating habits ! My life improved , I sleep better. Happier than before ! Very fulfilled ! Melissa’s therapy helped me with resolving 25 years of weight struggles emotional eating and stress . Further more I had an extra sessions with her for another issue that I had and she really helped me out! She’s Professional,Dedicated and was always there for me in case I had any questions or concerns!

Walking in as a skeptic and unsure how things were going to work out, Alyssa really helped me uncover and begin overcoming some deep rooted issues that I have been working on for years. In the month of working with her, I have made strides that I haven’t been able to overcome in years and years of self work, therapy, and self improvement. I am very happy and excited to walk into the future for the first time and maybe my adult life. More...

Hypnotherapy

When I met Melissa, I’d been struggling with insomnia for eight years. I’d tried everything–years of talk therapy, medication, a disciplined yoga/exercise rhythm, a clinical class for insomniacs, bedtime rituals… all to no avail. After four personalized sessions with Melissa over the course of four weeks, her clinical hypnosis approach helped me reframe my relationship with sleep and bedtime to become a consistent sleeper again. Her sessions equipped me with both an understanding of how hypnosis works, as well as personalized meditations to use each night to help my mind deconstruct the barriers that prevented me from sleeping AND reconstruct new patterns of thought that supported a good night’s rest. Melissa exudes warmth and compassion. While her work is grounded in a scientific framework, she leaves room for beautiful mysteries of our unconscious realm to help us heal. As an artist, I especially appreciated her knack for imagery in the meditations she designed for me. So much so that I’ve begun a series of paintings based on her meditations. I can’t recommend her enough! More...

Hypnotherapy

I have been suffering from anxiety associated with a medical diagnosis for the past 10 years. This anxiety was impacting my life so negatively that I was afraid to leave my house, to travel and to do many other things that I used to enjoy. After much thought, I decided to try hypnotherapy with Melissa, and I was cautiously optimistic about the results. However, after my first session, I noticed that my anxiety had remarkably decreased and that I was able to slowly start enjoying my life again. By the end of the fourth session, I experienced little to no anxiety, I had an extremely positive outlook, and I was able to live freely despite my medical condition. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone in need. She is awesome but more importantly, she is so compassionate, non-judgmental, smart and kind. Hypnotherapy with Melissa was a real game changer for me. Now I will always remember that "every day is a good day!" More...

I was skeptical of hypnotherapy at first, but after trying every weight loss diet known to man I thought I might as well try it.
After my first session all the doubts and skepticism quickly left. It was an incredible experience and I could tell I had a mind shift towards the foods I had once craved.
Fast forward, after completing my 4 sessions with Melissa my whole perspective has changed. I don’t feel like I am missing out on anything. I love to eat healthy and simply pass on the junk food because I have no desire to eat it.
Taking it a step further, I am now celebrating my new healthy lifestyle by exercising and jogging.
This journey has been nothing short of amazing so far and it would have not been possible without the support and guidance of Melissa. She has truly reset my life and headed me in a healthy direction.

Working with the therapist from Ocean of therapy was great. I was nervous about doing the therapy at first. But Melissa was great at easing the tension that I had. The first visit, Melissa had gain so much information about what was happening. But after the first session was done I felt great. The big difference showed up within a day and when it happened it was like WOW. And the people around me is like are asking what happen to me it's like I am a different person.

Working with Ocean of Change Hypnotherapy was an excellent experience from beginning to end! I found their business through bark, and after a quick call I was able to schedule four appointments at a great deal to help progress my personal development forward.

I knew exactly what I needed to overcome, so I communicated over text with my hypnotherapist. My hypnotherapist not only understood where I was coming from, but was able to work with me over text and help tailor each hypnotherapy session to overcome my past experiences as effectively as possible.

The sessions left such an impact that, by the second session, I had already achieved what I had sought out to with hypnotherapy. This let me identify and pursue other goals with the help of my hypnotherapist to significantly improve my daily quality of life.

I strongly recommend Ocean of Change Hypnotherapy!

Melissa is so easy to talk to and taylors her hypnotherapy to individual needs and interests, as to make her clients as comfortable with the process, as possible. She not only hypnotises, but provides tools should we need support moving forward. Melissa has her clients be a part of the process and encourages homework between sessions, to gain the best experience possible. I was on a very strong, dangerous medication to manage pain. Melissa guided me to find the courage to try life without it (with guidance from my physician of course). I am far from cured of my ailments, but proud to say that with the tools provided to me, I have not returned to the medication. I use the guided practices daily and know that Melissa is there for me if I need to return for additional assistance. She opened my mind to allow me to realize that I was in control of my pain.

Melissa is so caring and so good at making you feel safe and calm during the sessions.
Melissa helped me immensely with pain management - bringing me from a state of high anxiety, due to my MS pain, to a state of calm. By calming my emotional state Melissa taught me how to focus my mind & body in-order to control my pain and move it down from a 7.5+ to a 5 or below.
I have tried acupuncture, massage therapy, chiropractic therapy, as well as traditional pain management. This is the first “non-traditional” therapy that has worked to improve my quality of life & make my pain more manageable. What’s better than getting pain under control without the addition of more medication?
I am, eternally, grateful to her!
