Phobias
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been afraid of snakes. Even snake-shaped vines or twigs would give me a start. I grew tired of my fear ruining my love of the outdoors. I decided to try hypnotherapy with Ron McKie to rid myself of my fear of snakes. Using time-line therapy we were able to reconstruct the root of my fear, and walk through the moment with new and open eyes. After journeying through the once terrifying moment, I had a new look on the way snakes played a part in my life.
The whole process only took about 20 minutes but will affect the rest of my life. Sometime during that night as I slept, I dreamed of swimming in a large swimming pool with lots of snakes. All of the snakes were just floating by, with big smiles on their faces. When I woke I knew that whatever fear I had of snakes before, was now gone. Since my hypnotherapy session with Ron, I have been able to fully enjoy the outdoors. And have even gone as far as to pick up and admire a few snakes.

Fears can sometimes be paralyzing. My fear of needles didn’t seem that bad, just a minor nuisance during doctor visits. That was until I started skipping my appointments in an attempt to avoid being stuck with a needle. My fear was now potentially putting my health at risk. I never could have imagined that it was possible to overcome this fear, until I met Ron. Hypnotherapy made it possible for me to put my fear in the past and move forward unafraid and with confidence. Thank you.

Ever since 9/11 and a bad flying experience shortly after in 2002, I have been terrified of flying. It has been a real inconvenience and very upsetting for 7 years now. I must fly for business at least 4 times a year and also I love to travel. It sometimes would get depressing because it would actually deter me from going to places I wanted to go to and getting the most out of life.
A few months back I decided to spend one hour with Mr. McKie and it literally changed everything. One hour, yes only one session fixed my problem, eliminated my fear! It not only eliminated my fear, it literally changed my feelings about flying 180 degrees. Instead of just “not minding” to fly, I actually love it now. I went from being scared to death of flying to looking forward to it! Thanks Ron!

Pain
For as long as I can remember, I have suffered minor back pain every day. Although I tried many alternatives, traditional treatments just did not help. I was about to give up and just accept that I would have to live with back pain. After meeting Colette, she convinced me to give acupuncture a try, and I am SO glad I did! Not only was she able to cure my back pain, she has been able to boost my immunity, help me sleep better, and give me more energy. Colette is a kind practitioner, who really cares about her patients.

I am a retired firefighter who sustained multiple back injuries over a 30 year career. As a result of these injuries I had major surgery performed on my neck and lower spine. The most recent surgery in February 2008 left me with a hematoma the size of a walnut. Three months of physical therapy produced no results.
In May of 2008 I was referred to Turning Point. On my first visit I was treated for chronic neck pain as well as the large hematoma. To my delight I got some immediate relief. The range of motion in my neck increased and the chronic pain improved significantly. The hematoma was reduced in size by 30%. Within 6 weeks the large hematoma had completely disappeared. The reduction in neck pain has enabled me to resume some activities that conventional medicine failed to do.
I have referred other patients including my daughter who, for the first time, is seeing marked improvement with fibromyalgia.
If you are looking for the Gold Standard in health care, I highly recommend Turning Point Acupuncture.

Turning Point’s acupuncture therapy worked "miracles for me!"
I first consulted my practitioner for a severely sprained ankle. My physician, having put me in a non-weight-bearing cast for a week or ten days, informed me that I had torn more than one major ligament and could expect to have major issues with my ankle for at least a year.
She treated me a couple times a week for several weeks. Within a week or so - my foot went from being like a fat club to almost normal size - the black and blue that covered my entire foot and up my calf had started to fade.
When I saw my doc for follow up, he was amazed at the degree of healing that had occurred. I highly recommend acupuncture treatment with acYOUpoint for any type of problem that you may be having. It works!

Sports injuries have been an ongoing struggle with our teenage boys. Being as active as they are has taken a toll on their bodies at an early age. Knowing their hopes to play sports after high school, we recognized the need to be proactive in their healing as well as the preventing future injuries.
We wanted to offer our kids a more holistic approach to healing apposed to using pain medicines to just cover up the pain.
Our Turning Point practitioner has worked magic on both our boys. Her explanation of what she is doing and why has helped ease their minds before during and after. She has helped them understand their bodies better and that just ‘working through the pain on the field or court’ is not the best way to cope with injuries. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boys. Thanks

Smoking
I had been smoking for almost 40 years and I had stopped once for a number of years. Unfortunately, I started smoking again and, this time, my smoking habit was severe.
I had heard about hypnotherapy and its positive results but I had also had a few friends that had gone through it but had gone back to smoking. My wife finally convinced me that I should try it.
I have not had a cigarette or a cigar in almost 3 months. I do not get cravings and I did not turn into an ogre. My family is amazed at how I just stopped smoking. I left in the morning with a pack of cigarettes in my hand and came home smoke free. I have strongly recommended Turning Point to a number of my friends and will continue to do so.

Dipping is holding me back. It's time to quit! After our session I got rid of all my spitoons and I haven't looked back. I am tobacco free!

Breakthrough Session
I wanted to write to you a long time ago, and I was so busy!... I want to thank you again for the breakthrough session!... It was an amazing change that I continue to feel. I'm much more confident, now I know my true value and I charge accordingly. For any one that ask if this technique works for prosperity and goal setting I can simply tell them that in just one month I reached my goal and my business doubled.
Thank you again and all the best.

Performance Improvement
Unsolicited Testimonial from Rob Levit
I have greatly benefited from the work of Colette McKie. Her unique integration of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, cutting-edge hypnotherapy techniques, and eastern medicine creates a unique approach for artists and performers like myself who endeavor to reach that ever elusive next level or consistent state of peak performance. After working with Colette, I feel more empowered, energized, and confident in my performances and business. For artists and performers, energy, awareness, and vitality are essential and Colette has tangible ways of helping them thrive and prosper. The performing arts can be a difficult field so I am always seeking beneficial ways to stay focused and positive -- working with Colette McKie has been essential to my success.

Limiting Decisions
Ron,
I've listened to your presentation numerous times and I came to the realization that you would be able to help me. I couldn't put my finger on my problem. I wanted to sleep all the time. I didn't want to face the day, even though I knew thatI had something valuable to offer. My customers love what I have given them. But somehow I always doubted what I was doing. The phone would ring and I always assumed that it must be a problem, so I would be afraid to answer the call directly. I constantly lived in fear that I had done something wrong.
When we sat down to discuss this problem, you eventually brought me to the realization that I had a problem accepting the success that was being presented to me. I don't know if I was afraid of success, but more accurately I felt that I was not worthy of the success that was coming my way. After all, I wasa poor country boy who was out of his league, or so I thought. Who was I to deserve this success? I'm not a Ford or Rockefeller. Who was my Master to serve? You helped me understand that I am the Master.
These days, I am in command of my surroundings, and the people I come in contact with. I can walk into a room and command an audience, quietly, because that's my style. I am completely confident, no matter what is in front of me. I love to meet new prospects, almost as much as I love to meet old customers. I look forward to the phone ringing, because that means there's someone on the other end who wants to hand me money. I've worked hard to become known from coast to coast as "the Man". I like that. Somehow, that's now comfortable.
Ron. Thank you. Thank you. I would not be the man I am today without you. Wait 'till you see what I do next!

Ron,
I will apologize up front for this lengthy e-mail. I wanted to thank you for the session this past Tuesday. I can't explain it, but I feel very different. Nothing has dramatically changed with business or finances.
I say that because I'm sure you know that when things go well in other arenas, we tend to say we feel better. It's been 4 days since we met & with no other life category really changing, I feel much less stress. I had a feeling that I focused a lot on things which were in the past & that it may have affected my day to day happiness. There have been a few times over the last few days where something has occurred where I would have done my normal Jekyll & Hyde routine & become irritated & annoyed. It didn't really bother me. My wife & I switched phones to Blackberry's yesterday & obviously it was not a smooth transition. I was on the phone with Sprint for 4 hours this morning. Didn't bother me in the least. I was calm & understanding.
Normally, after about 30 minutes, the tension would be so high that I would not have been able to turn my head from side to side (seriously). I hope that this continues (I still need to do a session for my skepticism) :) I don't feel different, except I certainly am not as nervous as before. I am my own worst critic & put an enormous amount of pressure on myself. I had a very busy week. I did it without the normal stress & of course I was even more effective. I have no idea what we accomplished & I honestly don't need to understand. I am not the written testimonial type for a service such as this. Don't ever hesitate, however, to ask me to speak to someone on your behalf. I'm a believer. Thank you again, Ron. As business owners, we all run into the same types of obstacles. Your work must be wonderfully rewarding with the results that you see.

Dear Ron,
I am so satisfied, beyond satisfied, with the results of my hypnotherapy sessions with you that I want to take a moment to stop and thank you.
One of my goals was to laugh and smile more. Well I am and it is noticeable to others as well. Following the old axiom “that laughter is the best therapy”, I find that I am a much happier person and more grounded and stable. If I had known that it would work this well, I would have done it long ago.
As to the other personal development goals they too are working but it will take longer for that to unfold.
When I signed up for hypnotherapy I had a real misconception as to what it really was. I thought I would come in, get “tranced” and go merrily on my way with a smile on my face. I found that you bring much more to the table than that and know because of your help, the result will be lasting.
I look forward to returning sometime in the future for reinforcement or to work on some other issue.
Thanks Again.
-Gary Haynes
Dear Ron,
I just wanted to thank you for your help with our daughter. As I mentioned at our visit, I had never been to a hypnotherapist before and was a bit surprised when our daughter’s pediatrician suggested that perhaps you could help her with her severe anxiety about attending middle school. I must admit I was a little nervous as to what to expect, and was relieved when, at the consult, you explained that both my husband and I could be in the room the whole time if we liked and that there was no “hocus pocus,” in fact, our daughter would be cognizant the entire time.
In a way, the session itself reminded me of a therapy session – the difference was that we had taken our daughter to therapy before and she was very agitated…in your session she seemed relaxed and appeared to be enjoying herself as she happily answered the questions and quickly began revealing feelings that she had kept bottled up inside.
You had told us upon leaving that we should see results fairly quickly, and sure enough, we noticed immediately that her anxiety about school had decreased significantly. In fact, even she noticed it herself, saying she was feeling much better about things “for some reason.”
I’m thrilled to say that our daughter had a wonderful transition to middle school. After a year of sleepless nights and severe anxiety about her transition, our daughter began middle school relaxed yet excited.
Both my husband and I were amazed and impressed. It is hard to believe that such dramatic results were achieved with only two visits.
Thank you so much!
-Cheryl Guttridge
The French lessons have been going well! I definitely feel a difference in my attitude towards learning. As if there is a block or obstacle that isn't there anymore. I just need more time to study now and I'm sure I will be picking things up much more easily.
Thanks again for your help!
-Katrina
