leaving behind my home, my counseling practice, friends, adult children and grandchildren.  Feeling that I’d lost all sense of purpose in my life, I sank into deep depression.  I had absolutely no confidence in hypnotherapy and, having experienced some trauma around yoga, I certainly had no interest in yoga therapy, but I’d been referred to Cooper by someone whom I trust who was concerned about my safety.  I didn’t believe that anything she had to offer could help, but have since found that her guidance, the hypnosis sessions and recordings have brought me out of the deep depression and into a feeling of loving my life once more.  When, during the second year of our relationship, I developed some physical problems, I chose to do yoga therapy with Cooper rather than surgery or traditional physical therapy and I found her clinical skills to be as brilliant as her therapeutic skills.  I am now pain-free, anxiety-free, and have a sense of well-being that I wouldn’t have believed possible.
