About Us (acupuncturist, hypnotherapist)

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.


Weight Loss
Never has the name of a business impacted me as much as when I want to meet with Ron McKie at Turning Point. I believe and it has been proven, the subconscious mind controls more of what we do, think and feel then the conscious mind. I had been struggling with many things, too many and too personal to go into. I thought I went to see Ron about helping me to shed a few extra pounds. I really went to see Ron to help let go of things in my past that caused my subconscious mind to hang on to weight I was fighting to loose. Fighting is the key word! In a one hour session with Ron, I truly believe has changed my life. I have found my reactions (not always positive) have changed to healthy responses. I feel wonderful! It has been two weeks since that session and I have lost 15 pounds and wend down a full size (without doing anything differently then before.) I know that is just the beginning of the physical results. The emotional results are immeasurable. If you are struggling with an inner conflict and need to find peace, I highly recommend you see Ron McKie.


Ron,
Just a quick note to say thanks for your wonderful guidance. I have literally become a new person! I look at food differently, look at myself differently, and my weight is on a downward slope (a nice change). I'm sure I will have more of an update when we meet again on Tuesday.


Ron,
There will never be enough ways to say thank you for all that you have done in helping me to change my life and eating habits. Being strong and in control is such a nicer way to live. And I have you to thank. The Christmas holiday was such a pleasant experience this year. I was able to look at food in a totally different way. I was no longer preoccupied with diet, losing weight, measuring, counting calories, etc. The very best part is that I was able to make good choices and thereby not gain weight. I actually ended up losing one pound -- something that has never occurred over a holiday period in my entire life!!!

I truly believe that had I not come to see you in November I would have sunk into a depressed state of mind, adding more weight and never to be happy again. As this new year begins, I have a new life beginning also.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart.


Hypnotherapy isn’t magic and I credit Ron to laying the foundation for me to stop smoking, lose 70 pounds and turning around an old habit of being late.


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.


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.

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 that I 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 was a 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.
