Hypnosis is a natural state. Everyone experiences trance in moments of daydreaming, intense concentration, and when entering and exiting sleep. In a hypnosis session you achieve a similar state intentionally. You don't go unconscious, have total amnesia, or surrender control. You do usually become very deeply relaxed.
Everyone can benefit from hypnosis. If you need to overcome a habit or fear, reduce anxiety, or perform at your best, hypnosis can help you achieve your ideal thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. John Mongiovi is a Board-Certified Hypnotist and Certified Instructor of hypnotism. He helps people to overcome unwanted habits, fears, and anxieties, and to maximize performance in business, athletics, and the arts.

Some issues require written referral of a qualified medical practitioner. As a hypnotist my role is help you resolve everyday problems using hypnosis. I am not a medical doctor or mental health practitioner. I do not diagnose, prescribe, treat, cure, or heal any physical, mental, or emotional illness.
Some studies have found that hypnosis is over 3 times more effective to help people stop smoking than nicotine patches or gum, and 15 times more effective than trying to quit smoking cigarettes with willpower alone. Nicotine is addictive, but it's the mental habit that makes it challenging for most people to stop smoking.
Our conscious and unconscious beliefs surrounding food, eating, and activity are significant factors when it comes to weight loss and fitness. For a person who wants to lose weight, eat more healthfully, or get more exercise, the important moment is when you finally decide to do something about it and begin to look for help.
If you have an anxiety disorder, please consult a medical practitioner before using hypnosis. I use hypnotism to reduce the physical, mental, and emotional effects of stress and anxiety. I do not "treat" or "cure" anxiety disorders. Anxiety often presents as preoccupation and rumination, catastrophic thinking, social anxiety performance anxiety, phobias, and compulsions.
If you are suffering from insomnia, please consult a medical practitioner before seeking hypnosis. Lack of sleep can be a serious issue. While it is not usually a sign of illness lack of sleep has been linked to chronic issues, including anxiety, depression, heart disease, and obesity. Trouble sleeping takes different forms.

Not an exaggeration to say my sessions with John saved my life. I don't know if he even realizes it but now, at six months after a few sessions, it dawned on me that I may not have made it through without his help. I had pretty severe anxiety and none of the talk therapy, acupuncture, yoga, exercise, etc was helping. It was a very frustrating year and half of going two steps forward, 8 steps back. Until someone suggested hypnotherapy. I needed a reset to my trauma response and that's just what he did. It has truly made all the difference. There's nothing to be scared of with hypnotherapy

John helped assist me in quitting smoking cigarettes. I had been a smoker for 10 years and had tried most common methods of quitting. John was personable, friendly, an excellent listener, and tailored a method specific to me to help with quitting. The experience was overwhelmingly positive and I would recommend John to anybody.

John is very talented. I struggled my whole life with being neat and tidy. After one session with him, I noticed a profound shift. It's already two years later and I am able to consistently keep my home tidy! I later saw him for a number of other issues which he helped shift as well. I recommend him whenever my friends are looking for a hypnotherapist.

Excellent hypnotist. I visited John for constant anxiety I was suffering. We spent some time discussing hypnosis, what I'd like to achieve, and a bit about how the therapy works. I was such a fantastic learning experience. Once the hypnosis started, I reached my relaxed state and embraced everything John was suggesting during the session. I left feeling very calm and the calmness persists. It is not a magic bullet, but Im just at a different level of calm. And I notice the physical triggers of my anxiety. Im an athlete and went to training after my session a few days later. Ive never been more

Going to see John was one of the best and most helpful experiences in my entire life. I was suffering from a fear of bugs/insects for a little over a year. After one visit, I felt like a brand new person. At first, I was up all night and would sleep in the morning, I would have severe panic attacks and anxiety whenever I saw a bug, and I wouldn’t wish that feeling upon my worst enemy. I would constantly cry and tremble in fear, I was always scared of my surroundings 24/7 and it was torture for me. Even the sounds of insects made me scared and I couldn’t deal with it. I went to John a few weeks

I saw John back in 2017 to help with a major fear I’d had since childhood. He was strongly recommended to me by a friend who went to him as a last resort to stop smoking. I watched her completely quit cold turkey after her session (I haven’t seen her pick up a cigarette since). I never believed that hypnosis was a real thing, but I’m so glad I went for it. I remember the whole experience very clearly, like it was a few weeks ago. John made me feel very comfortable, he explained everything in detail and why it works, and then proceeded with what was similar to a guided meditation. While being

I recently saw John to address a anxious habit I have had for the past 10+ years. The session was wonderful, very relaxing and comfortable. He is incredibly calming and knowledgeable. In the days following, I have almost completely stopped the habit. John made such a difference in my life. I would recommend him to anyone.

I was skeptical at first about the efficacy of hypnotism but after battling with sleeping issues for years, and trying multiple "remedies", I decided to give it a shot. Ive done 5 sessions so far and have recommend countless friends to John. He's also greatly helped with my periodic NYC blues. Highly recommended!

John's an expert who helped me improve my own hypnotherapy practice in California. Not only is he knowledgeable about helping clients and running a successful practice, but he has a great voice which helps us experience hypnosis in a more profound way. I highly recommend you give John a call to learn how he can help you improve your life.

I went to see John in March 2014 to help me out with some issues such as smoking cessation, anxiety and self-esteem. Right after the hypnosis, I felt completely rejuvenated with energy, but most importantly, felt more comfortable in my own body. Two months later, that refreshing feeling has not faded one bit. I am still smoke free and feel more confident than ever before. I highly recommend anybody with the same issues I did to go to him. I have a strong notion that one two-hour session will make a lifetime of difference.

This is so very helpful... I had a session with John for frequent sleeplessness I have experienced most of my life. I wasn't sure what to expect with hypnosis but was open to the possibilities. Our conversation before the hypnosis was comforting, and right away I could tell he was on his game and knew his stuff. John had me close my eyes as he led me into a comfortable hypnosis, which in my experience was like a deep meditation. I was always aware and in control, but in a deep relaxed state where my mind could access things I had forgotten. Without going into the personal details too much, we reached

John’s work had a major impact on me and others who I’ve sent his way. He’s bright, professional, and so easy to talk to you’ll think you’ve known him for years. You begin to see your problem in a different light before he even starts hypnosis. The experience of hypnosis itself is very relaxing. During the session and afterward you begin feel like a shift has taken place. You not only think differently, but actually feel like something has changed physically and emotionally. Plus John has a great voice for hypnosis. I’m very happy with his work. It has been truly amazing for me and
