Testimonials

Endorsements from Leading Mind-Body Experts

“For several years, I served as a consultant to Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI), the division of Disney that create, develop, and design the theme park attractions. At that time, a joke circulated at WDI asking "How many Imagineers does it take to change a light bulb?" The answer was, "Does it have to be a light bulb?

Judith Westerfield is gifted with this kind of out-of-the-box thinking, and she would have been right at home with the Imagineers at WDI. Her training programs reflect not only her knowledge and creativity — they are also enjoyable and fun. If you are interested in learning about hypnosis and guided imagery and how they can help, you couldn't find a better coach/instructor/teacher/guide than Judith.”

• Nightmares & Stress Relief

“A few years ago during a stressful time in my life I had severe nightmares that created a sense of panic during the day. I sought professional assistance from Judith Westerfield. Looking back at that time today, I feel so fortunate at the progress I made with Judith's help.

The interactive guided imagery provided me the necessary understanding to alleviate the symptoms and causes of my stress. Judith's ability to administer therapeutic techniques coupled with her keen insight into the underlying root causes were extremely helpful.

I have made numerous referrals to Judith Westerfield for both hypnosis and Interactive Guided Imagery and feel that she is at the top in her field of expertise."

Trauma

"Soon after 9-11 I was called to go to New York to work with the Red Cross as a Mental Health disaster specialist. While there I worked at ground zero and with survivors, families and rescuers. Daily, for 3 weeks, I listened to their stories.

Upon returning home I soon realized how this had affected that and me I was suffering from PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). I kept dreaming of all the stories told to me. I was reliving their experiences in my nightmares. Everything in my life seemed trivial. I was re-evaluating everything. I was depressed.

I asked Judy to help me with my trauma. She was my lifesaver. During our session she guided me through trauma-relief imagery. I felt immediate relief and peace. I was finally able to function. I can now talk about my experiences and not be taken over by them. Judy was truly invaluable to me."

M. Daru Maer, M.A., L.P.C., Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Mental Health Disaster Specialist

Inner Wisdom

"Guided Imagery works and it's so relaxing. She guided me down a wonderful yellow brick road to my own ‘inner wizard.’ I use imagery on my own all the time. It's made a huge difference in my life."

Jann Ruth Fredrickson, M.A.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Cancer

"Having cancer is both frightening and solitary, I believe in the mind-body connection and wanted to do guided imagery and hypnosis while I was undergoing chemotherapy. Judy helped me find healing and loving images. The hypnosis was revealing, soothing and reassuring. Now I can recreate all my images of healing and love anytime I want and I feel less alone. I continue to use all the tools Judy introduced me to now that my chemotherapy is over. "
