I came across Michael while looking for a more holistic approach to therapy. I saw that he had extremely positive reviews so I decided to give it a shot. I saw and felt incredible results after my very first hypnotherapy session. Michael makes you feel comfortable (not an easy thing to do when doing remote sessions) he is kind, knowledgeable and very professional. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Andrew is a masterful hypnotherapist that brings a variety of wisdom and holistic approaches towards healing and reaching your goals. His sessions and teachings are a great resource for those who need support and resources. Highly recommend.

I love the restful liberating feeling I get when I’ve worked with Michael. It’s instant clarity with the ability to choose exactly what I want at the moment. It *feels* real, real good!

I have worked with both Andrew and Michael for the past 2 years. I started out as a client and ended up taking their 10 day hypnotherapy course which Andrew recommended to me. My experiences with hypnotherapy have been life changing and transformational. I am so grateful to have learned so much about emotional healing and healing trauma. I am much more resilient than I have ever been. I no longer feel powerless. It has been a true pleasure to work with both Andrew and Michael. They are so kind and gentle, and genuine and trustworthy. They have helped me in ways I never thought possible. I have sent my friends and family over to see Andrew or Michael and they have all had amazing experiences. I deeply trust Andrew and Michael. They both are well rounded hypnotherapists that have knowledge in several schools of thought, nutrition, religions etc. I have learned to help myself and to also seek support when needed. Would give 10 stars if I could.

I attended a Self-Hypnosis Workshop as part of a larger retreat Michael facilitated in New Orleans. It was AMAZING. I appreciated the experiential opportunity to practice various levels of resource states & harmonizing. It was academically stimulating & spiritually enlightening. As a psychotherapist, I was taught some of these skills in conferences. I was not taught its origin or numerous applications. It was helpful to receive in-depth/holistic context and applicability regarding the tools. Also, Michael was a grounded, knowledgeable, and supportive teacher.

I absolutely LOVED working with Andrew ! I went to see Andrew few years ago in order to confront my fear of confrontations and my writers block. As an academic and an artist, these skills are crucial for my work, and Andrew helped me clear my past, outdated, modes of thinking and helped me reach my full potential.Whenever I encounter emotional obstacles that seem too difficult to solve on my own I always seek Andrews help, and without a fail, Andrew succeeds in helping me with any given problem at hand.Thank you Andrew!

Michael introduced me to Self-Hypnosis, and it entered my life at just the right point. I was contemplating some significant life changes and the process played a pivotal and serendipitous role in allowing me to get real, become more authentic and act with greater confidence and self-knowledge. It is a great tool to counteract negativity, and now I truly cannot imagine my life without it. Michael guides you through the process with ease and clarity, is a very attentive and focused listener as you discuss your goals and aims with him and some of our conversations have had tremendous merit and effect outside of the process as well. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

We all in this world have challenges and hurtles in our own lives and with me it was no exception, I was looking for someone that I could be myself with and figure out different ways of handling situations. When I met Michael, I really felt he got me as weird as that sounds being the first or second time we had met he just got me. In a situation like this you become very very vulnerable and it is hard to be that way, especially for myself. Michael never rushed me, it was at my own pace, he makes you feel that his office is a safe place where you can just pretty much put everything on the table.. and that is EXACTLY what I have done. Michael, is a one of kind inspirational intelligent and all around amazing person, I would NEVER recommend anyone else but Michael to help anyone with their challenges in life. I have found someone that no matter what is happening in my life, he is always there for me.. no matter what. Give him a call today, you WON’T be disappointed!!! Thanks.

I have participated in the ten days course of Hypnotherapy offered by Michael Nolan and Andrew Gentile in the summer of 2018. After this experience, I feel enriched with the knowledge of the possibilities of hypnosis, enlightened with the effects of the practice endured onto myself, and deeply grateful.Nolan and Gentille have been practicing hypnotherapy for years in San Francisco and Toronto and finally decided to organize all this experience and start sharing it. They have different characters, which was great because it gives a wider image of the spectrum of the hypnotherapist´s personality. To have them both explaining the concepts and applications from each one´s point of view and experience was the perfect complement.I came from the field of Philosophy and felt deeply satisfied with all the conceptual frame and general perspective. Thanks to the congruence and clarity of the presentation, we were all talking the same language quickly and were able to start practicing for hours since day four.And when the practice began and everyone was hypnotizing and being hypnotized, a whole new situation became apparent. While hypnotist, we were like rollerblading for the first time, enjoying but stiff, watching the thing happening in surprise. And while hypnotized, everyone was taken to its own memories, feelings, thoughts, and emotions, and was able to do something productive with that. The result was an amazing and surprising experience, which I recommend to everyone, even if you are not thinking about becoming a professional hypnotherapist!

Michael was recommended to me by a friend who had success with some issues by using hypnotherapy. I ended up doing several sessions of coaching with Michael by phone and found him to be very open and a deep listener. He was able to make connections for me that I had not been able to see previously and those insights were definitely helpful to me in my process. Over all I was very happy with the work he did and recommend his service.

I had a Skype session just last Monday with Michael Nolan of San Francisco Hypnotherapy to help me quit smoking. I must admit although I wanted to quit intellectually, boy oh boy - I liked to have my smokes so it was not so cut and dried for me. I knew it was time though because my lungs hurt and I was coughing a lot.I was TOTALLY impressed with Michaels professionalism and I liked how we began our session with some deep looking at when I started to smoke, what was going on in my life and what some of the possible motivations might have been. I had never looked at it quite that way so it was a revelation on many levels.After talking for a few minutes, I turned my computer screen so Michael could see me, and I lay down on a little day bed I have in my office.How to explain - I felt entirely aware on one level and as we went deeper I could feel different connections being made in my nervous system and in my brain. I had many awarenesss come in throughout the session and towards the end a beautiful integration and healing of the younger me, with the older wiser me.I HAVE NOT had a cigarette since then. I did not say I didnt have any cravings, but I have not picked up a smoke since then. There is an awareness that I AM NOT that person any more. It is liberating and fantastic.I can see that if you are not really on board with quitting, it might be possible to go back so I can not empathize enough that you have to want to and to work with the cravings until the nicotine totally leaves your body. I highly, highly recommend Michael and would trust him with future needs.

I completed a 10 day transformational hypnotherapy certification course with Andrew and Michael and could not sing their praises any louder. The course was a wonderful mix of theory and hand on practice. And beautifully paced. What I did not expect but should have, is how much work we each did on ourselves, how much we each transformed. These guys begin, continue and end with love and compassion - what other way is there to do this beautiful healing work.And after, as we’ve each returned to our respective lives they are completely supportive and available to consult and assist us in our healing work. Very naturally and easily, a person is able to walk away from this session and begin.They’re the real deal. I’m sure you understand and can imagine taking this course. Because they equip you to do the work.

My first session with Michael was 10 years ago.. It was a deep and impactful session for me at a very important juncture in my life. Ive worked with him since then off and on over the years as needs have arisen and each session connects me to myself and gets me back on track to live my life the way I really want to be living it. Each session has been a unique experience and I appreciate the connection we have made. Thanks!

It was fantastic to meet a therapist who was able to seamlessly incorporate my spiritual belief system into a deeply insightful session in to why I have certain thought patterns - and how I can change those that are not serving me. I felt that Michael truly listened and understood me which made it so easy opening up to him. I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders immediately after the session and the feeling has stayed with me. 100% recommended working with him.

I had a session with Michael 5 weeks ago in an attempt to give up Diet Coke - after almost 30 years. In our first session Michael provided some insight into why Diet Coke was something that both soothed and provided a reward. I had no craving for Diet Coke immediately after our session and am still free of Diet Coke for 5 weeks. Michael is a gem to connect with and I highly recommend working with him.

I’ve had a great overall experience working with Michael. The patience and understanding he’s had as I work through my experiences to install a more empowering belief system has been truly great. Very much recommend working with them.

Michael is a healer of the upmost sensitivity. He brings an incredible tool box to any session. I feel seen and understood as Michaels intuition and guidance is spot on. In sharing his own stories and experience, Michael reassures me that he has been there and so I trust him and feel cared for. His expertise and clarity of my situation lets me know Im in the right place. Thank you Michael! Im so grateful.

Do you truly seek change and healing?! Had a transformative experience at San Francisco hypnotherapy. Their multifaceted approach to deep healing, helped me immensely with my anxiety and depression and their ongoing support solidified long term shifts. One of the best things one could do for the self.

I saw Michael for a series of sessions to help me work through some old feelings and attitudes that I felt were getting in my way. I was super impressed with his ability to help me identify the underlying issues keeping me from moving forward both professionally and personally.(I had some ongoing health issues that I was dealing with that created quite a bit of stress for me.) I felt like he truly listened and had a solid grasp of me and my situation on multiple levels during our sessions. After years of struggling, I feel like I finally got some relief and am moving in the right direction! Thanks!

I’ve always wanted to do this work, and I really love it. One of the most worthwhile things I’ve ever done! Michael creates a safe and compassionate environment. Thank you🙏🏼

This was such an exquisite journey into the imprints and narratives that were the source of anxiety, aversion and interference patterns of my life. Michael is curious and dynamic in creating a space for inner healing to emerge. He enhances resilience and creative exploration.

I had my first hypnotherapy session over a year ago. I did not know what to expect and no real understanding of what Hypnotherapy was - my dear friend highly suggested it, so I took a leap of faith. There were a few challenges I thought about working on and during the intake we came up with one theme to address in my session. In one session Michael guided me through a past traumatic experience and transformed it to something that I could feel good about. Ive carried significant emotional weight around that past experience for 20 years, and in that one session, the emotional charge was lifted, completely, and still is. This is beautiful healing work that would benefit anyone. So much appreciation for Michael, for his knowledge and his intuitive beautiful spirit!

Michael is both professional and knowledgeable. A great environment to get the most from each session. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Michaels savoir faire and professional demeanor have only grown in quality since I began working with him in 2017. As a hypnotherapy educator and practitioner he is constantly refining his craft and applying his wisdom in the service of stewarding his clients towards healing. I have experienced great leaps and bounds in my healing journey since I began working with him. I HIGHLY recommend working with him.

Michael is a great hypnotherapist and educator. He has helped me immensely with my anxiety and that has translated to so many areas of my life! Totally recommend!

Attending your 2019 training in Puerto Vallarta was a life changing experience. Not only have I learned to uproot and change patterns of thought I established before I learned to think for myself, Ive learned how to help others do that as well. Thanks and blessings to you and your work!
