Highly recommend trying a few sessions with Christina. The sessions are through zoom and you can do them while you're laying in bed, it's great! I was a little skeptical... read more at first but after a few sessions Christina completely changed my mind about hypnotherapy. I have noticed many positive changes in my behavior and thought patterns and I got over a breakup faster than I ever have before.

  My boyfriend was having a hard time passing his paramedic national registry test. We had tried every study guide, tool, had a meeting with a therapist to go over study... read more habits and test anxiety and it wasn't enough. Someone recommended we try hypnosis so after a quick google search we found Christina. He went the first time slightly unsure because its just not a technique we often hear about to test anxiety. After the first session he came out loving it and even said he would go every day if he could! He said he felt so strong and confident at a time that his confidence was pretty low. In addition to finding a tutor who specialized in paramedicine, he went back to Christina the day before his test and again felt really prepared and confident. He took his test the next day and passed! I would recommend Christina to anyone looking to better their lives. Thank you Christina!

  Christina is the best! She has helped me with my fear of heights,fear of flying and many other issues. After working with her my anxiety and panic response has decreased... read more significantly and my life has improved immensely. If you are struggling with fears or anxiety I would highly reccomend talking with Christina. There is nothing more important that taking care of our mental health. Christina is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. She has changed my life so much There aren't enough thank you's I could give!

  Christina has helped me make important changes in my life.  I am shocked by my progress and excited about the future.

I have struggled with various obsessions over the years.  Nothing... read more too serious, just things like drinking Redbull and eating late at night.  I have strong willpower but I just have not been able to kick some of my habits.  This has gone on for 10+ years.  I have felt frustrated, defeated and self-loathing with my inability to make better decisions regarding my health.  I have seen therapists over the years and have had lots of success in dealing with challenges from my childhood and improving my relationships.  However, I have not been able to achieve sustainable success in dealing with some of my behaviors.

My wife heard good things about Hypnotherapy and suggested I give it a try.  Without having a good referral, I looked for Hypnotherapists on Yelp and came across Christina.

Even though the reviews were very positive, I did not have very high expectations for my first visit. When I met with Christina, I felt comfortable and open to the process.  The results from the first session were pretty amazing.  No kidding, I have not had even the slightest desire for a Redbull for the last week.  A ten-year obsession was addressed almost immediately.  I am still in a state of disbelief and humbled by the progress.  I just finished my second session and look forward to seeing how I do with my late-night eating.

  Christina has been wonderful and a great help in overcoming many of my issues.  I went there initially for help with stress related excessive eating. She helped me get that... read more under control quickly and very effectively.  I  then worked with her on my social anxiety issues plus correcting my negative self-image problems.  I have been ecstatic with the results. She even helped me get my Restless Leg Syndrome under control which is fantastic. I cannot thank her enough for all of her help and I would highly encourage anyone seeking help to take advantage of her therapy.   She provided a very positive and supportive environment to help me get through these issues, including accommodating my work schedule.  If you need help please see Christina.

  I am 53 years old and have struggled with OCD in the form of obsessive fearful thinking for over 32 years.   I have seen therapists off and on for... read more years, I've tried energy healing and positive thinking and many other ways of coping, some healthy, some not so much. I've tried anti anxiety medicine and anti depressants, nothing helped.  I even saw another hypnotherapist that used a softer method with little change.  I really believed that I couldn't be cured and that I could not change.  I thought it was genetic as many of my relatives suffer from similar conditions.  I thought it was trauma or complex PTSD. I thought I was broken beyond repair.

After reading reviews and viewing her YouTube video that is available on her website (you have to copy and paste) I knew that her more direct approach would help me.  Her video is brilliant and she does a beautiful job of explaining altered states, the unconscious mind and the power of hypnosis.

After only two sessions I feel like I've experienced a miracle.  The changes are profound.  Less negative self talk, less negative intrusive thoughts.  When they do arise I'm able to reel myself back in pretty quickly.  I'm just doing things without thinking, like exercising.  I'm allowing flow without the former ideas of how my day should be structured. I feel good and I feel motivated.   My understanding is that the effects of hypnosis trickle down so I anticipate more and more positive change.

Another benefit of Christina's method is that you don't have to go into story or relive any trauma.  It's a very directly indirect way of accessing the incredible resources of the mind.

I plan on seeing Christina for several sessions as I truly believe that this work and her specific approach will transform all aspects of my life and being.

  It's been 5 weeks since my first session with Christina and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.  She helped me overcome my... read more bad nail biting habit I've had my entire life.  I haven't bitten my nails in 5 full weeks!

I've tried other methods on my own and I could go a week maybe 10 days without biting my nails and that included a lot of me catching myself in the act.  Since meeting with Christina I haven't even felt the urge!  It's just unbelievable.  

I was skeptical for sure but very open to trying anything to help me quit. The two sessions I had consisted of what felt like a guided meditation that really left me feeling lighter and less anxious after.  There was a bit of homework I needed to do each day to help accelerate my results and I think it really worked.  I got my nails done last week and for the first time I wasn't embarrassed to the point where I only got a pedicure.  

I think that even though I went for nail biting I left with less anxiety than I normally have and that's pretty life changing.  I'm normally a very anxious, in my head all the time person and I feel much more confident and present.  I highly recommend Christina and hypnotherapy for anyone with anxiety or a bad habit they really want to overcome.

  I recommend 100% and have raved to my friends and family about my success - I struggled with sleep problems throughout my whole life, and even knew that I would... read more not be able to "go under" or (by my misunderstood definition) "be hypnotized."

It wasn't until I became absolutely desperate and felt like I was facing destruction with my health, work, and role as a mother that I decided to give this a shot.  I was 100% committed, did the exercises after our short session (for the record, I did not "go under," but this did not pose any issue with obtaining success), and was completely healed after the first session.  I used to experience debilitating abdominal cramps in the morning to the point that I'd be late to my morning appointments, and have not felt them since.

Since I had another session booked and paid for, I asked to address waking up in the mornings to be more alert and to ease into sleep / out of sleep more easily.  Done and done.  Where doctors, essential oils, routines, diet changes, sleep aids and stimulants did not help, hypnotherapy solved my sleep problems pretty much overnight.  As all the other reviewers said, ***I Wish I Would Have Done This Sooner.***

I cannot thank Christina and the other reviewers who helped urge me to address this last year.  It has changed my life!!!

  Christina literally cured my son of night terrors in one session. ONE SESSION! I am eternally grateful for her knowledge and expertise.

  I truly can't say enough to describe the incredible impact Christina has made on my life. The amount I have been able to realize and grow from, even after just... read more ONE session, is something I will appreciate forever.

Working on deep-rooted issues seems extremely terrifying at first; It seems as though you would have to reopen (or keep open) the wound/s in order to release, but that has not been the case with Christina. She has the ability to totally relax the mind and take you to a place that makes the removal process so simplistic and easy. I appreciate and value Christina and her tools, and what really sold me at first was her NLP Practice. I can whole-heartedly say that during the two sessions I have had with her, I feel open and in love with life for the first time in a long time. I have released what used to hold me down, and I feel as though I can finally express my true self. Things that seemed as though they would stick forever are so far gone out of my conscious/subconscious mind.

Christina will create a change for you. She will give you the results you were searching for (and MORE than you could've imagined). She will provide you with whatever you need, and she will make you feel extremely comfortable as she does this. She is incredible, and her heart is the most beautiful I have ever seen. I will continue to go to her for the rest of my life. Thank you so much!!

  I have been to hypnotherapist before but none like Christina. Since day one I felt welcome and an atmosphere of professionalism. I had a number of issues and all resolved... read more within three sessions.  I am planning on going back for more sessions. But if you need issues resolved, Christina is your person

  Christina works wonders!  I have been a nail biter my whole life and she had me breaking the habit after a single session. Very nice, very skilled and incredibly knowledgable... read more and professional. The entire experience is pleasant and relaxing from start to finish. I was skeptical about hypnosis since this was my first time, but you can't argue with results. I would highly recommend Christina if you are even considering hypnotherapy.

  Christina is skilled, professional, kind and GETS RESULTS. I have seen her only twice so far and my issues are more than 75% resolved. This is after about 4 hours!... read more

Other things happened too, that I wasn't expecting and wasn't directly trying to accomplish: my self esteem and self confidence took a huge turn for the better. I am happier, and more forgiving of myself than I have been in years. I guess I didn't realize how self critical and judgmental I had become, possibly because I could not seem resolve my issues through the usual cognitive protocols. Somehow my subconscious decided that was my fault and I was busy making myself suffer for it. I am way more in control after two sessions, and although I need more, I feel relatively stable. This is huge.

I have been called away on family matters, but I can't wait to have another session when I return.

Highly recommend. After all, if you "knew" what the problem was, you would have solved it...

  Christina definitely helped me with my fear of needles, which is important - as I have a genetic condition which requires me to donate blood as part of my treatment.... read more She is caring, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about what she does. Even after only one session, my fears were greatly reduced!

  I can't say enough how much working with Tina has helped me in my business.  I went from having extreme fear of speaking in front of groups to shining and... read more making real transformation within the lives of hundreds, with NO FEAR.  

After only a few sessions I can see and feel my life has skyrocketed into the intentions and dreams I had previously created.  Her methods and modalities for transforming the subconscious are the best I have seen, and I am in this industry.  My connection with money has transformed and I am feeling more at peace and in a co creation with it.  The more light workers who have the power of money, the more impact can be made in this world.

She truly is amazing and will help you reach your dreams.

  Christina At SD Clinical Hypnotherapy is awesome, i had been dealing with some depressive issues arising from a work related injury that had me stressed with PTSD and horrific nightmares,... read more after one session I can finally sleep with no nightmares, and the issues fall off like water off a frogs butt.  Thanks so much for helping me get back to sleeping again!     Tina is thorough, professional, patient, and compassionate, I recommend her if you are having any issues you need to overcome that are affecting your life and holding you back.  She also helps me be able to focus again on my priorities.  Thanks Again Christina!

  Tina at San Diego hypnotherapy is amazing! I had been struggling with my business and wealth building. I couldn't figure it out, until Tina was able to help me uncover... read more a lot of past conditioning from my past that was inhibiting my business success.

Since my session with Tina, my business grew almost instantly over night. I hired more staff, and now am busier than ever thanks to her help. If you're an executive or business owner looking for business hypnotherapy, then Tina is the one to go to.

I'm forever thankful for her help.

  A little late on this review but Christina had such an impact in such a short introductory session that I felt compelled to tell the Yelp world about it.  I... read more first met Christina at a workshop, she was hosting a group session introducing hypnotherapy and even provided a group session.  This was my first personal encounter with hypnotherapy although I had heard about a major positive experience from a friend about Ms. Higgens.  (My friend was in a bad spot in her life, hated her job, bad relationship, just not a good place in her life, and within a short amount of time, with Christina's help, my friend was able to find the strength to move forward and move past it, and make her way to a life she had always dreamed of.)  With my experience, Christina did an excellent job at explaining how hypnotherapy works and seems to really have a strong understanding of how to conduct sessions and personal growth.  Even in the large group session I was in, I was able to move my brain into a realm I had not experienced before.  Still conscious but with a vivid image of a goal and deeper understanding of what I was looking for.  It was rad and I highly recommend her.

  Tina is amazing!!! I struggled with a fear of flying for many, many years. I travel overseas for a living, so it was all that much worse! I finally found... read more Tina and decided to try hypnotherapy as I had heard that it could quite possibly work and could alleviate some of my fear and anxiety - and I was leaving for a trip in a few days and was full of dread.  It was the best decision I've made in a long time. After just one session with Tina, I got on a plane two days later and felt dramatically different. I was calmer, centered, and my palms were dry! The best thing is that I have flown many times since and have experienced the same sense of calm.  I would seriously recommend Tina to anyone that suffers from any kind of fear or anxiety... she means business!!! She is a serious professional, trained, seasoned and knows exactly what she is doing.

  My wife went to see Tina for a phobia that she has been affected by after a traumatic experience she had years ago. She had suffered countless times since then... read more (for years!) when she experienced trigger situations. After just 1 session with Tina, it was probably 90% gone! My wife will probably go back for a follow up, but for now, the results are nothing less than amazing! Thank you!
