Originally from the Island of Malta, Maureen is at the Mastery Level of all four modalities and is the ONLY hypnotherapist who has been a director and instructor in two nationally accredited colleges. Because of her medical and scientific training and background, she is also the ONLY hypnotherapist who is a co-author of a research paper issued by the SD County Neuroscience Department at UCLA. She is the resident hypnotherapist at the renowned Chopra Center in Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA, has authored eight hypnotherapy books and produced over 25 hypnotic CDs and is now a certified NLP trainer. Hypnotherapy can unleash the power of the unconscious mind to turn the client’s goals into reality! DOES HYPNOTHERAPY REALLY WORK? Maureen is living PROOF! At age 33 she was declared 100% disabled, put on Social Security & offered a lifetime of medication. She was diagnosed with cubital tunnel syndrome & overuse syndrome in both elbows. She suffered tremendous chronic pain & required surgical treatment. After 6 surgeries (3 on each elbow), she was transferred to an Arm Specialist who proceeded to perform 4 additional surgeries (2 on each elbow). After every surgery, she was placed in a cast after which came weeks on end of painful therapy in an attempt to regain full strength & range of motion. However, after all 10 procedures, the chronic pain never ended, & she was left with permanent gashes on both arms. From there on, every doctor assured her that she would never get full use of her arms, & must learn to live with the pain. During those 6 years of surgical procedures, she had taken 25,000+ tablets! SHE DID NOT GIVE UP and discovered Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy. After just a few sessions, her never-ending, constantly throbbing, aching & debilitating pain WAS GONE! The change was miraculous. TODAY she is drug-free and utilizes a hypnotic technique to reduce residual aches when needed. So, for all of you, who had any doubt if Hypnotherapy works…YES! IT DOES!
