Sketchy! This woman WILL NOT refund you, and becomes very cold and uncommunicative if you press the issue. She seems to have quite a lot of inner work of her own to do, ironically, despite what she practices and what she charges for it. Not good!

Steer clear. I was ripped off by Mary Lou Rodriguez. I paid $300.00 to basically hear her chant waves of relaxation over and over again in my ear. This is free on youtube!I got zero results after 2 sessions. $300.00 wasted. She promised a recording and then said nothing in my contract actually says I have to give you that recording.I asked for a refund many times, and she said shes not in a financial position to refund me. (As if thats a good reason, as a business owner). Then she advertises how financially prosperous she is, that she has had to close her wait lists, shes so busy, and how she has a million dollar mindset.She brags about her financial abundance but will not refund or even offer a partial refund. She offers nothing. Steer clear.

Hey there! I’ll be honest and state up front that I, like some others in this review section, was also skeptical of hypnosis. Earlier this year, a female friend of mine said that she would do self hypnosis in the evening and that led to a discussion about my thoughts around the topic. Now, mind you, my only exposure to hypnosis was through pop culture media; this exposure was obviously skewed and is nowhere near reality.I met Mary Lou through a program that we were both in; and since I have a sense of adventure, I allowed myself to have a session with Mary Lou.I was blown away! Every positive thing you read in previous reviews is true!Mary Lou encapsulates all of the qualities others have spoken about; she’s thorough, caring, passionate, nurturing, enthusiastic, heartfelt, and sincere.My session with Mary Lou was nothing like I had anticipated; she took the necessary time to find out what I needed from my session and then she went to “work”. My hypnosis with Mary Lou unlike anything I have ever experienced. As others have said, I was taken DEEP, FAST – and not just one time – every time I re-listen to my hypnosis session.I have had more than one session with Mary Lou at this point and all I can truly say is: she’s amazing!My question to you is: When will you know that you have found the right hypnotherapist? You’re reading this for a reason. Allow yourself the chance to work with Mary Lou; I promise, you won’t regret it!!

Working with Life Guidance Hypnosis has changed my life for the better! Mary Lou is a gifted hypnotherapist. I was a bit hesitant to try hypnotherapy. I love the woo and with past trauma; I am challenged to trust most people. I reached out to Mary Lou because I needed a change and all of the other avenues I had tried had not worked. Mary Lou is gentle, kind, and engaged. She welcomed me with care and compassion. She asks all of the right questions and is able to get to the root of issues to help create and welcome new thought patterns and practices. My work with her brought new habits and ways of living. I highly recommend her! I continue to work with and trust her with conquering some of my biggest and most intimate fears and desires. She is blessed with a gift that she graciously shares with her clients. I am eternally grateful!

My hypnosis experience with Mary Lou Rodriguez was outstanding! From the very beginning, I knew I was in heartfelt caring and professional hands, which helped me relax and give myself to the process. She is highly skilled at getting to the heart of the issue and then builds a profoundly deep experience around that. I continue to make shifts in my beliefs and behaviors, which are having a big impact on my desired outcome. Mary Lou is a delight to work with, and I highly recommend her!

Mary Lou is one of the most exceptional hypnotherapists I have ever come across in my entire life. I was a bit skeptical about hypnotherapy myself, but am so glad I decided to give it a shot, especially with Mary Lou! The way she tailors each session to EXACTLY what the client wants to, and more importantly, NEEDs to hear is incredible. She over-delivers in every way possible and its an ecstatic and refreshing feeling after each hypnotherapy session. She helps unearth a lot of what holds us back and tackles those thoughts head on. Ive noticed a HUGE difference in my life after working with Mary Lou and I highly recommend that others work with her as well!

Think youre too stuck to change habits? Never doubt yourself again. Mary Lou has the complete confidence, compassion, and capabilities to get you in a space where you can better operate in life. You do get to practice and continue changes on your own, but sessions with her are concentrated with transformation. Highly worth while!

Weve been doing hypnotherapy together for several months now and her guidance and insight have been instrumental in helping me through a very challenging period.Mary Lou is a truly gifted hypnotherapist, but more than that she is an empathetic listener, deeply intuitive and compassionate. She took the time to get to know me beyond the surface and to really understand the changes that I wanted to make in my life. She helped me clarify, see my own strength and then have the tools to build on all that was already there. Her encouragement extended well beyond our sessions with resources and practical tools that I could use at home and work.Additionally, Mary Lou puts an incredible amount of thought and time into planning each of our sessions and also takes the time before and after hypnosis to connect and reflect. Nothing ever feels rushed.Thank you for everything!!!

Mary Lou hypnosis sessions are absolutely incredible. She makes you feel heard, helps you focus on true intentions of each session, listens to what YOU want to work on or towards, and ensures that she is helping you every step of your journey (that does even mean after your sessions with her!!). We focused on very personal situations that had occurred in my early childhood and helped mend those issues my inner child was still holding on to. She was gentle and honored the pace I was ready to take, it made me feel more and more comfortable each session with her. I have seen a lot of different therapists/practitioners in my life and have struggled in feeling safe with them, but Mary Lou was so different, she showed the warmth and respect I needed to feel safe. Its been almost 7-8 months since my last session with Mary Lou and Ive reflected on how my life has changed since then, and hence the reason I am writing this review now vs. before. Through the last few months, I have learned more about myself, become more gentle with myself, continued to build trust for others, and learned what it truly means to feel safe and heard. She also assisted with an addiction I had to sugar, which had been triggered by trauma wounds, and I can say that addiction has ceased to exist since my work with Mary Lou. I am forever thankful for Life Guidance Hypnosis and would highly recommend Mary Lou to anyone!

I recently attended Mary Lous online workshop series focused on releasing blocks related to sales, making money and self-sabotage. I loved all of these workshops and found the journaling exercises we began with very helpful to shed light on some thoughts and beliefs I wasnt even aware of. The ahas alone were with the time and investment.The group hypnosis sessions were AWESOME and are always such a powerful way to shift! The bonus is you also have the audio to keep listening to to keep reprogramming your brain.Mary Lou is genuine, kind, caring and professional. I have worked with her privately to help address some PTSD related to a car accident and had amazing results. Im now able to drive on freeways without constant anxiety and thinking how much further I have to go in the car.

Incredible experience! It was an amazing experience during the hypnotherapy, very warm and caring atmosphere. I had been smoking for over ten years. After just one session I was a non smoker. I never had any urges to smoke after the therapy. I couldnt believe it! I would recommend Mary Lou to anyone!

I went to see Mary Lou to deal with some of my anxiety/panic attacks problems that I’d been having my entire life. Little did I know, she’d help me transform my entire mental and emotional outlook on life. When I first started seeing Mary Lou, I had never been hypnotized before. I was actually quite nervous because I’d had no prior knowledge of the subject. To my surprise, when I was hypnotized, it was this lovely feeling of being free and being able to clear my head of anything and everything that my mind was spinning around. Since I have gone through hypnotherapy I have gained many other amazing results from just a few sessions. I was no longer feeling like I was in a state of anxiety but in a happier and more outgoing state. I didn’t feel held back anymore. Other issues I’d been dealing with such as mood swings, nightmares, and just my outlook on life improved dramatically. My confidence was back! I was gaining control of my life again. Hypnosis taught me to relax and focus on loving myself and just being happier. If you’ve never given hypnosis a try, or even if you have- I would 100% recommend Mary Lou. She has been one of the most genuine and beautiful souls that have entered my life for the better and you won’t regret it!

Working with Mary Lou has honestly changed my life. She is an amazing combination of spiritual, scientific and nurturing. She is both teacher and healer. Shes helped me overcome thoughts and feeling that have held me back for years. She has also taught me to take control of my conscious life, changing habits to create better outcomes. The experience of hypnosis with Mary Lou is at once nurturing and healing. I cant recommend her highly enough.

My experience with Mary Lou was great! I highly recommend her. I saw results as soon as my first session. Mary Lou is really helpful and she is just amazing! Her voice so soothing and relaxing. I appreciate her so much! It was a really good experience and she is very committed to her work. I would recommend her to anyone that wants to make a change in their life. I wish I had gone to her sooner.

I am impressed by Mary Lous deep compassion and commitment to work on my guilt, shame and self-rejection issues. She took time to connect, listen and understand my concerns and questions. She was accepting and non-judgmental and most of all, remained calm at all times. She provided a safe space for me to work on my issues during the hypnosis sessions with warmth and kindness. She was patient in guiding and providing support in my self-discovery journey and not once did she made me feel rushed in any way. I came out of the session felling totally validated, supported and encouraged. The techniques she shared to assist me in my transformation process was very helpful and beneficial. I would highly recommend her!

Working with Mary Lou has been awesome!I had been a smoker for thirty years, and tried to quit countless times without success. I finally decided to try hypnosis and reached out to Mary Lou. Her technique, tools and encouragement have enabled me to quit for good. I would highly recommend her to anybody who is looking to make lasting positive changes in their life.

Mary Lou is an amazing professional. She has an exceptional ability to listen carefully, ask important questions - with heartfelt understanding and empathy when you need that. She also educates you on what to expect so that you learn to quickly trust the process, and trust her as your guide. This happens before the hypnotherapy begins. Ive learned its very important to gain this trust so you can deeply relax and receive the change you are looking for. I expect she is exceptional in her professional in creating real change for patients. She did so for me.

Mary Lou is fantastic. She helped my wife get LIFE CHANGING results, so i was like yea sure ill give her a shot.If my issue was at a 1o Mary Lou helped me bring it down to a 1.I am VERY happy with my experience and my wife’s. I recommend he wholeheartedly.

Mary Lou is a gifted healer and our hypnosis sessions were an amazing and positive experience. I went to see her for confidence issues. I am a business owner with who was afraid of selling my services (direct sales) and networking. After five sessions, my life has changed. My confidence, self worth, self esteem have improved 150% and so have my sales! Thank you! Referring everyone I know to you.

I absolutely love working with Mary Lou! In just one session I could feel the transformation. There was a clarity that I awakened to and each session continues to unravel the layers. She is organized and customized a plan of action for me. She has a calming and nurturing voice which was so soothing during hypnosis. I felt safe enough to open up to her which is not easy for me. Mary Lou uses advanced techniques that really work! She even gave me homework to improve the experience. I can honestly say that I feel a definite growth within me. I continue to look forward to these sessions, even the anxiety of scheduling has been put at ease. I can’t wait to learn what I uncover about myself in my next sessions!

I would highly recommend hypnosis to anyone. It’s been hard for me to lose weight and create healthy habits. I’ve tried nearly everything and still got no results. With hypnosis, I’ve lost weight and my eating habits are much better now. There is no struggle, I just automatically eat better. I am making better choices naturally. Thank you, Mary Lou. You’ve given me tools to change my life. Thank you

When I stepped into Mary Lous office, I was going through a separation and was very very sad, depressed, full of anxiety and I felt hopeless. After just 5 sessions, I feel happier, confident and have very little anxiety. Most of all, I feel like I have a new lease on life. I have hope again. Ive done hypnotherapy before, but Mary Lou uses advanced techniques. I was blown away after the first session. Mary Lou has helped me reprogram my mind! She is kind, compassionate and professional. I immediately felt comfortable and safe. I am recommending Life Guidance Hypnosis to everyone, family, friends and colleagues.

Mary Lou does a wonderful job getting to know you and your goals. She provides very personal service. She truly cares and creates and environment that you feel comfortable opening up.

Mary Lou helped me overcome major obstacles that were keeping me from growing my business. She worked with me via ZOOM to helped me overcome my inability to feel comfortable or genuine on stage. Even with practice, I still felt an incredible amount of fear. Five sessions with Mary Lou changed my life! She also helped me unblock my writers block. I am working on my first book. Thank you for your help!

I brought my 14 year old daughter to see Mary Lou. My daughter suffers from very high anxiety, ADD, sensory issues, and low self esteem. We have see therapists, physiologists, occupational therapists, and finally got her on medication. All of this was good, but I wasnt seeing the results I desperately wanted for my daughter.After much research I came across hypnosis and all the benefits it had to offer. I reviewed many hypnotherapist and liked the reviews for Mary Lou.Mary Lou got right back to me and did a free phone consultation. She took the time to really listen to this worried mom and after the phone call I knew my daughter and Mary Lou would be a great fit to work as a team. That is the approach Mary Lou takes.When we arrived at the first session I was pleasantly surprised by Mary Lous personality. She is genuinely happy and very engaged with her clients. You feel like you are coming to see your close friend and biggest supporter. The connection between my teenage daughter (that should speak volumes) and Mary Lou was instant. I will be honest my daughter was not thrilled to be coming to see a hypnotherapist, but after that first appointment she has looked forward to each session.As a mom watching your child suffer is heartwrenching. Coming to these sessions left my heart filled with joy because someone other than me thought my child was as amazing as I think she is. The transformation I have seen with my daughters self confidence has been worth every dollar. My daughter has tools in her toolbox now to deal with stress, negative self talk, healthy life style changes, and anxiety attacks.Coming to see Mary Lou has changed our lives and I cannot recommend her enough to others who want a better life. She is AMAZING!

I will run out of words to describe how amazing and how much value Mary Lou gave to me in return. Im in my 20s who have been through a lot over my short years of life -- pains and joy, failures and successes, love and hate. I was overpowered by negative emotions that I locked away for such a long time bec I never knew how to deal with them, so I just shrugged them all off. Or so I thought. Little did I know, all of the negativity have festered and grew and I have reached my breaking point. In a world today of do-it-yourself and just google it was the way I was dealing with debilitating self doubt, anxiety, sorrow, self-pity and life difficulties. I was so grateful to meet Mary Lou. There was something about her when we first met that just simply felt right. Looking back now, its the energy she radiates, her positivity and ability to share her own painful experiences which shows as if yes that was me, but that doesnt define who i am- message that you feel. Because of her, I was able to let go of my negative debilitating emotions, I started to trust and love myself and live in so much possibilities. Most of all, I rediscovered the girl I used to be and look at myself now and see who I can become. I have so many years ahead of me and it excites me! I am starting to be very emotional writing this post. I KNOW I will still have challenges, I WILL have negative emotions, but you know what, those will never pull me down because I know exactly how to handle them, thanks to Mary Lou.

Wonderful experience with Mary Lou. I immediately felt comfortable and in good hands as she expertly guided me through a process that was both relaxing and powerful. So grateful for the help I received from Mary Lou, and cant recommend her enough.

Mary Lous sessions are amazing. Her guided mediations are powerful and made me realize how powerful our own minds are. Seeing her has changed my life and I always look forward to seeing her again and sharing what amazing creations have happened. I highly reccomend her.

Unprofessional and no benefit after spending $300.00. Mary Lou refuses to refund even one dollar. Watch out.

Mary Lou is an amazing hypnotist!My sessions with her to allevaiate bruxism (teeth grinding) were very effective. She quickly put me into a relaxed and suggestable state. Once in the suggestable state, she used suggestions crafted from our pre-session conversations that spoke deeply and precisely to my mind. I noticed immediate results of relaxation of my TMJ area, and a long-term reduction of my bruxism symptoms.Thank you, Mary Lou!

Life guidance hypnosis has been life changing. Marylou is so kind and makes this experience so comfortable & non judgemental.To know that hypnosis can take you to the root of whatever issue you are going for and Marylou helps you understand not only the process but also understand the whys, And shows you methods on how to deal with everyday issues.Its so refreshing to know that there are other methods out there then having to turn to medicine. Not only will i continue to see Marylou, but reccomend her services. I couldnt be happier with her services.
