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.

  I've had a few sessions with Christina on a variety of topics and it works amazingly! Christina is very professional, and friendly. I find her style of hypnosis extremely effective.... read more Going in for my first time I thought it was going to take a few sessions to solve my bad habits that I had for years. However to my surprise, it has been my biggest accomplishment yet since she solved my bad habit in only just one session!

I recently needed Christina's help and went to her for some sessions. Because of covid-19, they offer a safe alternative of having the session via Zoom through the comfort of your own home. At first I was skeptical of doing the session online and thought that the result might not be as well as in person, but boy was I wrong. I've worked with Christina on a variety of issues through Zoom and seen fascinating improvements just as well as in-person sessions.

To anyone who is looking for an effective hypnotherapist, I highly recommend International Clinical Hypnotherapy and Christina as you gal.

  I worked with Christina for my phobia of public speaking. In the past, I have at least once in my life fainted, blacked out, threw up, and cried uncontrollably when... read more trying to give presentations for school or work. I couldn't even give a toast as the maid of honor at my best friend's wedding. It was really holding me back and I knew I had to try something different. I had two sessions with her and saw such a drastic change in my anxiety levels that I joined toastmasters. I have been speaking up more at work and am working on perfecting my public speaking skills without the fear and anxiety holding me back. Because I saw such improvement, I also decided to also tackle my phobia of spiders and also my addiction to unhealthy foods. It has only been a few weeks but I feel like a new person! I was especially grateful that she is offering hypnosis through zoom during the Covid quarantine so that I didn't have to waste time waiting for an in-person meeting. I was nervous about it at first, unsure if it would have the same effect but as you can see, that's not the case. I highly recommend working with Christina! She knows her stuff!

  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.

  I was going through a stressful period in my life and had considered hypnotherapy as a way to rewire my negative thought patterns. Christina made the process easy to understand... read more and personalized towards my goals. The first session was literally life-changing. It helped me connect with my subconscious mind in a way I had never experienced previously. The following sessions solidified my goals and forged new neural pathways through the use of visualization and "anchors", which I'm still utilizing daily. I highly recommend Christina and International Clinical Hypnotherapy to anyone looking to live a healthier, happier life.

  I have had several sessions with Christina via Skype and they have been life changing and extremely beneficial in overcoming blocks, negative patterns of belief, and helping me to overwrite... read more negative experiences and realize and step into my power to change my life for the better and as I desire. I highly recommend for anyone interested to definitely work with her.

  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.

  Christina helped me overcome my fear of flying. I flew to NYC from SD for the first time in 8 years to attend my grandmas funeral. I'll be very forever... read more grateful that she helped me overcome one of my biggest fears ever. She's very straightforward, responsive and has intuitive ability.

  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!!

  If you are determined to improve your mental wellbeing or change a habit, but can't seem to make it happen by yourself,  I highly recommend Hypnosis by Christina Higgins. With... read more Christina's guidance,  I have attained clarity on several issues and a new found determination. Christina operates on the cutting edge of Hypnosis and stays on top of new developments that can help us achieve our goals. She is a professional in a field that is often misunderstood.

  I obtained Christina's services to overcome test anxiety. I had to pass a test to finish a certification, and my anxiety kept tripping myself up. I bought a 3-visit package... read more and was lucky enough that Christina was able to work me into her schedule in time before my test. When you work with Christina, it is evident that she is very experienced and knowledgeable about hypnotherapy and the subconscious mind, and psychology in general. She knows how to tap into your problem areas. She has you give her feedback between session so that she can tweak the next session based on the feedback. I'm so glad I did this, the sessions allowed me to relax my anxiety enough to feel CONFIDENT on the day of my test. I passed the test and now have my certification! Watch the video she sends you, it gives you a little bit of a primer on what goes on. p.s. she has a really soothing voice during the sessions. 😉

  Christina really knows her stuff, by tapping into the subconscious. She explains how it works, asking questions to better diagnose the situation. Then puts you under hypnosis, trance. I've gotten... read more positive results from this experience of hypnotherapy. At the end, I felt that it was worth the cost. I'm very thankful for her services. To bring out the best of who I am.

  Conquered my needle phobia!!

The only thing holding me back from pursuing nursing as a career was my needle phobia. I would reliably pass out (vasovagal syncope reflex!) when around a... read more needle. It didn't even have to be me getting the pointy end. There was no traumatic event, just a wildly irrational reaction (my whole life) that I couldn't shake with logic or willpower.

I found Christina on yelp, signed up for a package of sessions and it only took two! It might have only taken the one, but I wasn't challenged with a situation between my first and second sessions. The day after my second session, I was in a clinical rotation and the challenge moment arrived: I was expected to give an injection to a patient. I did it! With no anxiety, only calmness and confidence. Then I gave five more that day. Hasn't been an issue since.

It's not a crazy process. You're just ultra-relaxed, being talked through guided imagery, you use your imagination as prompted. And viola! Brain reprogrammed. I'll be coming back for sure, to tackle other psychological blocks keeping me from reaching my fullest potential.

  After seeing a half dozen medical doctor over the course of ten months, we were at a loss for what was causing my son's cough because there were no signs... read more of any underlying medical problem.  Three of the doctors suggested it may be a "habit cough."  After searching high and low, we found Christina at the San Diego Clinical Hypnotherapy.  She admitted that although she had never treated a habit cough specifically, she had indeed helped other individuals with breaking bad habits.  We decided to give it a try.  We agreed to attend at least three sessions, but after the second session, attending the third was really just a formality.  She helped with my son's habit cough, and we couldn't be more relieved.  It worked for us, it may work for you.  Christina is up front, honest, and willing to help.  Give it a try!

  Christina Higgins is a very knowledgeable and experienced hypnotherapist. I met with her for three sessions from December 2015 to February 2016. As a professional musician, I am always interested... read more in enhancing my level of performance, concentration, and relaxation (not only when I am performing, but also in general everyday living). I had tried a different hypnotherapist in town before Christina, and I felt Christina was much more skilled. I am a longtime student of meditation, and am familiar with many forms of "self-exploration" of one's own mind, including cognitive behavior therapy, NLP, and mindfulness meditation.

I would recommend her if you are interested in exploring hypnotherapy. She does, indeed, seem to know what she is doing, and has different modalities in her background from which she can choose, as they seem fitting for the individual client. Overall, I give her a "thumbs-up".

  What I like about Christina is that she gets results. $150 is a lot to spend for something to "maybe" work- but with her.. in my experience, her hypnosis definitely... read more works. I had massive success from just one session with her. My confidence boosted, I obtained a new job that was in alignment with my life purpose and passion, opened my own personal practice and took leaps and bounds in my relationships. She's awesome, I suggest her to anyone wanting transformation!

  Christine presented a very thorough explanation of the hypnotherapy process, putting me at ease to move forward. After our 1st session I recognized a notable change in how I felt.... read more Every session has yielded positive results each time and I've been able to make many positive changes in my life , moving past walls and fears.

  I was beyond amazed. In one session I was able to achieve my goals and get the help i truly needed. It would have taken thousands of dollars and much... read more more time with other methods to get the same results. Christina is very easy to work with and takes the time to explain everything to you before hand. Amazing, Amazing, AMAZING!

  My first session with Christina was incredible. She conducted a detailed evaluation as part of her consultation (which, btw, was FREE). The consultation included Christina thoroughly describing how the subconscious... read more brain functions, as well as what to expect from her processes. Her knowledge, confidence, and professionalism quickly puts you at ease and her methods really work.

I came out of the trance state feeling physically better than I can ever remember feeling. I sought out Christina to help me with anxiety and panic attacks. I felt a shift in the way I felt immediately after the session. My body felt light and pain-free and my mind felt clear and relaxed. It has been three days since the session and I feel so much better. I definitely need to attend more sessions with Christina, but I can honestly say that after one single hypnotherapy session, I have NO FEAR of having a panic attack. This is incredible and I can not wait until my next session with Christina. I have been looking forward to it since I left! I will post an update after my next session.

If you have a deeply rooted issue, phobia, or habit that you want to overcome I would HIGHLY recommend giving Christina a try. She's really good at what she does. Thanks Christina xx

  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.
