Success Stories

"Hi Max,   So here I am, the American Monkees mentioner and I haven’t had a cigarette and don’t intend to. It hasn’t been a piece of cake, but it hasn’t been crazy bad either. In my case I’m not missing smoking so much as those little 1 milligram nicotine lozenges. That’s what I often crave, but I’m also liking being nicotine free.The breathing exercise helps as does the juice and water. As does your App. I like that whole echo chamber effect.  HUGE MEGA  thanks. Right now I’m a Believer. All best, Cindy"

"Dear Max, I just wanted to inform you that it has been 21 days since I saw you and 21 days since my last cigarette. Thanks for healing me. Those who know me can’t believe it. Neither can I!! My friends who smoke are on their way to see you!! God bless you. Kindest regards, Deepak"

"Hello Max. Hope your good. 6 months smoke free! Thank you for performing a cig lobotomy! Much appreciated."

"Thank you for the quit smoking app. I was able to quit smoking so easily with almost no withdrawals. It was kind of like magic! I tell everyone about your app. Hi. First off I would like to thank you for the quit smoking app. I was able to quit smoking so easily with almost no withdrawals. It was kind of like magic! I tell everyone about your app. I was writing to ask if you could make an app/mp3 about attracting wealth/ abundance. Remove limiting money beliefs and attracting more abundance. I have been listening to other people apps on the subject but I keep wishing you made one. I have listened to your basic meditation app too but your other ones are not quite like the quit smoking one. I like the clanking in the background and the two different voices in each ear at once. Just wondering if you thought about making a wealth app… let me know. And thanks again!"

"I love you! Your quit smoking hypnotherapy program has changed my life! I am 29 years old, female, and have been a smoker for 11 years. that was up until 2 days ago when I quit using your mantras and relaxation along with hypnotherapy! I can tell you I have never felt this good in my life! I feel free, aromatic with the sweet smell of a non smoker, and energized! I love you max Kirsten, you have changed my life!"

Shaina

"Hello, I wanted to take a minute of your time to tell you how gracious I am for your Quit Smoking app. I have been a smoker for quite some time now, and after sitting down to do the math, I realized I smoke about 6-7 (or sometimes more) times a day. I have finally realized that this has got to stop, and I need to take action…for my health, for my girlfriend, and for my family. I have told myself over and over that I would do something about smoking, but just haven’t. Over time, I have gone to the doctor to get a prescription for smoking-cessation pills, but never got them filled at the pharmacy. I tried smoking cessation lozenges once or twice, but never followed through. I never really kept to any routine, until I purchased your program from the App Store on my iPod touch. When I laid down to listen to your program for the first time, I honestly questioned whether or not this was worth the time and money. I didn’t honestly believe that hypnotherapy was of any real benefit, and was very doubtful of the program in its entirety. Until I pressed play. …. and WOW!! I started to relax, and then became even more relaxed. I followed your voice, went through the motions and the breathing exercises, and totally relaxed my body and mind. What I never thought would happen, HAPPENED! During the session, I felt as if I was in another world, in another state….totally relaxed and empowered. What a feeling!! As soon as you say “10” with a thunderous boom, I awoke feeling refreshed, energized and just awe-stricken. That same night, I went outside only once to smoke and noticed I could only smoke half of a cigarette before putting it out. It tasted disgusting to me, and I felt wrong even smoking it. Day two, I smoked one cigarette. I am now at work, and am anxious to see how I make it through a work-day, and the coming weekend. I am extremely eager to report back to my colleagues on Monday with my results. I feel confident that they will be very positive results. I was so struck with your program, that I had my mother listen to it. She has been very stressed out this past few weeks as she is going through a divorce. She does not smoke, but I figured the program would relax her immensely as it did for me. So I let her borrow my iPod to take the session this morning while I went to work. I just received a text message from her stating she was going to buy the program!! She does not even smoke!! I’ll tell you – you have one hell of a program here. I cannot shut up about it!!!! I am so grateful and thankful that I came across this, and I am spreading it to everyone I know. I again am very eager to see how my results are going to be. By this time, I would be usually dying to go out to smoke, but I do not feel this way today. I feel very calm, relaxed and FOCUSED. There are some physical withdrawals, but I take 3 deep breaths, and they’re gone…just like that, Remarkable! You, my friend, are a life saver…literally. I just wanted you to know, as I am sure you already do, how much this means to me – and everyone else who has gone down the road I have. Thank you ever so much!! I will report back after a month, after 6 months, and after a year!! Take care"

Michael C.

"Hi Max, thanks so much for the iPhone app. I’ve smoked pretty heavily for many years, have wanted to stop for a long time and found it impossible. I listened to your main session (I think I fell asleep!), and then the next day, was kind of stunned to find out I really didn’t desperately want a cigarette. I have to say I was cynical about this working, but I feel I now have the best chance ever of this working. You’re amazing!!!"

Rob S.

"Max, I started when I was 14 I am now 37. The difference this time is that I truly want to stop. The difference this time is you! You are my biggest fan, my own personal cheerleader. I am so grateful you are here with me. In your voice I have found out the truth about my old best friends…..how they were trying to kill me. Thank you so much for giving of yourself this way. I am free and this is the way I was intended to be. Cigarettes ARE poison. That was all I needed to learn. How simple! Sending you a hug of gratitude."

Marnie

"I have smoked on and off for 20 years. The last 7 years i have smoked a packet a day along with an ice coffee. Because of Max i have no desire to smoke and do not even want an ice coffee. I can happily be around other smokers. I am so glad that i did the program. The breathing technique was awesome and so was having juice. I did not get sick, only felt better. If i can do it any one can. Thank you Max."

Renae Z.

"I just wanted to express my gratitude for helping me quit smoking. I purchased your app from itunes in July of this year and started the program on July 15th. I am happy to report that I have not smoked since. I was skeptical to say the least when purchasing the app after trying nicotine gum and patches in the past with no success. But after listening to the program and following the steps, I still can’t believe how easy it was to quit. I had been smoking for the better part of ten years and was up to about a half pack per day when I had decided I not longer had control over my cravings. Quitting smoking has given me a renewed feeling of self confidence I didn’t expect. Since quitting I have started exercising, increased muscle and stamina and lost a good deal of body fat. Thank you for this, there is really no way for me to express how grateful I am. Sincerely."

Steven C.

"Amazing app. Working for me. Non-smoker for 31 days now. I used to be a heavy 30+ a day smoker. This app has helped me so much and I am so grateful. I didn’t really believe an app would help me to quit smoking. I read all the testimonials on here and hoped it might help a bit. The first quit day I chose didn’t work out – I ended up smoking, after being agitated all day without a cigarette.

Not to be defeated, I listened to the main session for the next 2 consecutive nights then decided to try again. I also read the book Never Take Another Puff by Joel Spitzer. I smoked my last cigarette at 10:45 pm and listened to the main session right after. I woke up the next morning without my usual, frantic, desperate need for a cigarette first thing – I was surprisingly calm and didn’t have that mad panic to light up before doing anything else. This has never happened before, a cigarette is the first thing I think of and had to have a soon as I was awake.

I drank cranberry juice for the first 3 days, as it is very acidic and helps the body eliminate nicotine faster. I did have mild crave times (surprisingly not as strong or as frequent as in the past) but these passed by quickly and I used the 3 breath technique when they persisted. I still listen to the main session twice a week and the booster session on the other days. Thank you so much Max, this app has changed my life."

Bob H.

"I quit smoking 9 months ago thanks to the “Quit smoking” application for iPhone with 2 main sessions and 2 booster sessions. Thanks Max!"

Edson S.

"Dear Max, “Quit Smoking Now” is the best App I ever bought! I have been a smoker for 27 years. Now I don’t even have the urge to smoke anymore. I only listen to the apps for about 2 weeks, now I’m free! Thanks for helping me stop smoking."

Andrew A.

"Max-your “quit smoking app” is amazing. I have tried everything in the past from gums to patches to prescription pills with zero success. I am on day 3 without smoking all because of you and your app. Thank you so much."

Tracey Raines

"Just to say thanks. I downloaded the app 12 days ago and I’m now a non smoker after 16yrs of smoking. I feel amazing and a little bit silly that I was so fearful of quitting before. There is nothing to fear. It Is a great feeling. Thanks again."

Polly Wilson

"Hi Max, I successfully quit smoking in February 2010 thanks to your download. Thank you."

Steve C.

"Thank you Max I am forever in your debt for what your program has done for me. Much love & respect!"

Kaveh T.

"Your app is amazing! I smoked from age 13-30 and never thought I could kick it. That is till I came across your app and it changed my life! Thank you!"

Aoife B.

"I love that app! It’s my favorite, and I listen to it every night. I wrote a five star review for it in the iTunes store. Your voice is very soothing, and I fall asleep very quickly. It’s like taking a sleeping pill without the groggy after-effects the next day. I sleep so much better now, and I really appreciate your “Insomnia Cure” Sleep app. It’s wonderful!"

Catherine S.

"Great news is – the quit smoking app worked day 1 – haven’t wanted to touch one since and it’s been over a month now? I actually laughed at myself the other day when I said to myself as someone (who I usually always smoked with) offered me a cigarette and I just shook my head and kept on with my story. So many thanks."

Mary A.

"Hi Max, Had been smoking for 30 years, tried to quit lots of time using nicotine gum, patches, medication and also cold turkey. Never lasted more than about 3 weeks. I tried your app for the iPad, did not expect much, but for 5 bucks… Why not. Wow, I could not believe the results, barely a craving and the times I did have them they were so easy to control! It’s been over 4 months now, never touched a cigaret since even though my wife still smokes. Thanks a bunch Max!"

Sandra D.

"Max, Sorry I totally forgot, The great news is that I haven’t had or had the need for a cigarette since leaving your office; I am also eating 3 times a day and smaller portions with no noticeable weight gain, I am getting off the train a stop earlier and walking to & from work, and stress free. You have been a great help, many thanks!"

Simon B.

"Hi Max, I used your stop smoking app and have been smoke free for over a year now. I can’t recall ever even having more than two or three cravings within that time and they were easily overcome. Plus there were almost no signs of withdrawal."

Mike F.

"Hello Max, I came to you in February 2008. l came with a friend of ours Simon. Anyway Max I just want you to know that I’ve still not!!! smoked!!!! cigarettes!!! Just over five years now. How good were you to stop me from smoking :))"

Pauline G.

"Hi Max, Well, I might have felt tearful and depressed the first week of being stopped, but I persevered this time and am celebrating three weeks today!! Thanks so much for your help, I will keep you posted. Pretty sure I can be a happy non-smoker for the rest of my life now, but no room for complacency!!"

Juliette A.

"Hi Max, It’s been a year now since I came to see you, everything still good. I’ve spoken to many people over the last year and nobody can believe I gave up smoking and haven’t gone back to it and neither can I. I thought back  to that day when I’d sat by the church round the corner from you and chain smoked till my appointment I knew that if I had to bring some cigarettes with me I wouldn’t leave with them so at £9.50 a pack I made sure that I smoked all but one!! If I’m honest I’m not sure I really wanted to give up I’d already seen where I could buy a pack on the way home but of course I didn’t, I had never, in 40 years gone home without my last thought being have I got enough cigarettes to get me through until morning. I know you can’t worry about things you can’t change but if I knew it would have been as easy as this I would have done it years ago, I’ve had no withdrawal symptoms, desire to smoke or any problems being near smokers this last year and I do feel like I’ve never smoked. The money saving is fantastic too. I have put on weight but not really because of giving up smoking so I purchased your Weight Loss app haven’t listened to it yet but I may end up coming up to see you again and working my way through your list!!  Hope all is well with you – thanks again."

Sue L.

"My name is Dave. You may or may not remember me as the Newsnight driver. I smoke 20 cigarettes a day. That is 140 cigarettes per week. or 560 per month, 6,720 per year. I have done this for 65 years, which means I have smoked 436,800 over my lifetime. ‘IF’, over that time the average price has been 10 pence per cigarette, I have spent £43,680. Some while ago it was recommended to me to try Max Kirsten’s hypnosis treatment which I duly tried.Upon leaving the clinic I could clearly remember every word which had been used and was totally convinced it would NOT work in my case. That was 4 months ago and I haven’t smoked since. I would like to congratulate you on your achievement and importantly thank you for the part you played in helping me. Thank you."

David M.

I am so happy that I have quit nicotine for good. It’s really hard to imagine how you will manage without it-especially as someone who vaped constantly - but after hypnosis with Max you feel so positive about being free of nicotine that it is manageable and then your cravings become less and less ‘there’ until you realise you haven’t even thought about vaping. I found it really helpful that the session is tailored to your individual circumstances as it really helps as it focused on what is important to me and why I am quitting. Feeling so much healthier and positive. Thanks Max!

I am a non smoker and it’s not an issue! Never thought that would ever be possible. I can honestly say that every time I’ve thought of folding, felt tempted or reckless I have thought of Max and the work and that has provided significant support. Thanks kindly!

Max was, good fun, very professional and certainly helped to point me in the right direction.

"Max helped me to overcome the overwhelming anxiety and panic I was struggling with when trying to study for my final law exams. Without his help I doubt I would have got my degree; I certainly wouldn’t have been one of only a handful in my year to have been awarded it with first class honours. He made it feel effortless."

Deborah B.

"My daughter was getting nervy in tests and exams so much so that it was affecting her grades. I brought her to see Max for a series of sessions that really did help her with her pre-exam anxiety. She has not had any further anxiety or fear of exams since that time, and am very grateful for all the help and care she received from Max."

Emily T.

"Thank you Max. I was once suffering from needle phobia, however thanks to the amazing work of your hypnotherapy sessions and your hypnosis downloads, I was able to go in a matter of 2 sessions, from being so afraid of needles that I hadn’t had even a vaccination in 11 years, to being someone who underwent a spinal operation and was calmly accepting of the blood tests, the anesthetics and the anticoagulat injections i had to take every night in hospital for a week while recovering. I can’t thank you enough as I can now finally catch up on all the immunisations that i’ve had to skip and this literally could be a life saver. Thank you!"

"Hello, I am reaching out to you from the Headache Institute of Texas, located in San Antonio, Texas. We wanted to tell you that your Insomnia Cure sleep tool has been so helpful for our many of our patients that come to us with headaches and poor sleep. We truly believe that improved sleep has a profound impact on our patients and their ability to heal the underlying causes of their headaches and migraines. Thank you so much for providing this tool! Kind regards, Allison Ward"

"I’ve been struggling with insomnia for 16 years on and off , after working as a chef doing unprincipled hours. I started using your insomnia cure App , 2 months ago. It has really changed my life, not having to take sleeping pills to be able to get to sleep."

Geoff

"Just wanted to say a big thank you for yesterday I floated home! Listened to the insomnia disc and slept solid for 9hrs woke up in exactly the same position I went to sleep! Amazing!"

Anne M.

"Great value for all the features included…and a welcome addition to your phone or i pad…for less than a quid you can’t go wrong."

Joeyceee

"This app is amazing, I’ve just bought it and tried the 15 min session and feel sooo relaxed, I can’t believe it! How Max does it I don’t know but I’m so glad he does, I have his sleep app which is fantastic so much so I’ve never been able to stay awake to hear the end of it, many thanks Max."

Doreen

"I have found this podcast relax a winner I play this every night & it does what it says many thanks for a great item at such a cheap price."

Steve F.

"This is an amazing app! Previously I had problems dropping off to sleep and I often used to wake up in the middle of the night, not being able to get back to sleep, now I just put this on and I fall asleep within minutes, it is fantastic. It is also brilliant for unwinding and getting into a relaxed state of mind. Thanks Max!"

Geoff

"I am a police officer and work a 5 on 5 off shift pattern doing twelve hour shifts of 2 days and 3 nights!!! I have never been able to fall asleep I was very little, can’t seem to find the off switch and have always envied people who fall asleep within minutes of hitting the pillow compared to my one hour….I also wake up all through the night….Doing the job I do not getting enough sleep can really affect my performance! I have used this app 5 times now and have managed to fall sleep each time b4 the recording finishes and even better I am staying asleep!! Thank you sooo much."

Mia Pea

"Sleepless no more! I’ve been using this app with the newer ‘Insomnia Cure’…amazing. I love the dreamy state I seem to go into…I let go…and let go…and let….Zzzzz…Best sleep app on the iPhone!"

Maxduder

"Hi, I have had insomnia off and on for over 10 years. Since utilizing your Insomnia Cure and the ABC of Better Sleep hypnosis sessions, I have been able to fall asleep within 15 minutes of going to bed. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I just replay one of the sessions and fall asleep within minutes. I have struggled to find good therapy in Colorado and have purchased many guided imagery programs that did not work for me. What a find!! It’s great to have my life back, with energy to do all the things I need to get done during the day."

Marty N-H

"I tried this after reading a Wall Street Journal article in which it was rated highest of several sleep assistance applications tried by the authors. It is very relaxing and a comforting way to get to sleep, to remain asleep throughout the night, and to make the most out of the time that you have for sleep. I also bought Mr. Kirsten’s The Insomnia Cure, which is recommended as a companion to this recording, but have not yet used that, as this is doing a splendid job of helping me. The only caveat regarding the ABC of Better Sleep is that it utilizes water (ocean or sea) imagery, so it it is not for those with a fear of water. My understanding is that The Insomnia Cure would be a better choice for such a person."

Austen F.

"Hi just a little shout-out.  I’ve been afflicted with insomnia for most of my 6 decades.  I started prescription prescription medication for it about 4 years ago.  Then, in early January 2014, I bought the “ABCs of Better Sleep” from the Apple App store (it doesn’t seem to be available there anymore?), after reading about it in The Wall Street Journal.  Well, I certainly needed it for a lot longer than a week.  I was a hard-core case.  By sneaking a lot of reading with a flashlight under the covers as a child, I had developed an intractable sleep habit of bedtime alertness.  A sleep hygiene course I took in the 1990s didn’t help much.  I actually listened to the app regularly for at least 18 months, but I am now delighted to report that as of January 2016, I sleep well & have finally transitioned away from prescription sleep medication.  I’ve got the gist of the beginning of the Main Sleep Session memorized – I don’t have the end set in my head because I’ve fallen asleep long before I get there.  I just launch it in my head, & off I go to dreamland. I’m really grateful.  I wish I’d found this app sooner.  What a difference it has made to my quality of life.  Please use this e-mail as a testimonial, if you wish."

"Hi Ladies, Thought I would see if anyone is interested. I have been doing the home hypnotherapy course from Max Kirsten for 5wks now, and have so far managed to lose 10lbs. I am thrilled with it! Google him, and if anyone is interested, I am happy to send you a complete copy of the programme (via email, its mp3 format)! Nothing to lose, except lbs!   x"

Leanne L.

"Hi Max! I just have to write because I don’t know what finally happen. I kept the one week of no chocolate and the days kept passing by without a problem at all. I can now walk past any chocolate and laugh at how ridiculously powerful it was before and how I don’t even want to touch it now. I am so grateful, I almost didn’t think I was able to ever be free. Its an amazing feeling. My mind is still struggling from time to time with finishing food at the right time but never ever to the same degree as I use to. Thank you so so much for what you have done so far though! And I’m sure you’ve heard it all before but really, this saved my life! Take care!"

Anja

"I find that it only works if you keep up with listening to it everyday or every other day. It is great if you have the motivation. It works if you work it!"

H&G

"Been waiting for this one to come out! – I used the quit smoking app before christmas and have been smoke free since then – and this one seems every bit as good – only been using it for a few days but it seems to be working in exactly the same way. I’ve got about 15kg to lose and have lost 1.5kg this week to start with. Good one Max! – highly recommended."

Frances R.

"I already have the Paul McKenna App which is also based on hypnosis, but I wanted to try something new and I’m very glad that I did! I like the fact that the booseter session is only ten minutes long and therefore you will be more likely to listen to it everyday. Anyway, I’ve been listening to it for over a week and it’s so weird because my craving for unhealhty food has gone! In the morning, I wake up craving porridge and fruit instead of white bread and sugary tea (as I used to before). The 45 minute session has to be listened to once a week and it always makes me fall asleep but i’m guessing it works because I feel very motivated to exercise. Also, there are some very good tips! I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wants to lose weight – the easy way! If you just listen to the booster session you will notice a major effect!"

Roshas

"First of all, I really fell in love with the voice I am listening to every morning. It became almost my every morning pill for not loosing weight, but to feel better. Secondly, I really can’t finish any meal since I started listening to this program.. I eat when I feel hungry, never starving myself, but honestly I never finish the plate. It is weird and amazing that it actually works. It was also good motivation for me to start going to the gym. Three weeks on, I feel great, I am loosing my kilos, I’m starting to see my waist. Thank you Max!"

Osinka

"It works!!! Really nice voice and good format. And it is working for me, along with diet and exercise of course, but really not feeling like an effort. Fourteen pounds down, a few more to go!"

Ambear

"I am currently using Max Kirsten’s Weight Loss iPhone app and happy to say that it’s wonderful. His British accent is relaxing, peaceful and effective. The suggestions and guidelines seem to work automatically. I have been on yo- yo diets for years including; Weight Watches etc. It’s kind of amazing how within several days, I feel different and have much less desire to eat more. What a value! Thanks Max!"

Brad P.

"I’m stunned! I bought this app not knowing how I would react to hypnosis and well I’m living proof it is working for me, my cravings are disappearing. I no longer want to eat as much of the wrong foods and my energy levels are better. The tapping techniques really worked for me, I would recommend this to anyone who has struggled with diets and has tried to diet alone. You really feel better and healthier and just more positive about being able to lose weight and keep it off, thanks Max."

Suzy (21)

"Forget Dieting and Try This - You’ll Be Amazed at the Results! The hypnosis sessions from licensed clinical hypnotherapist Max Kirsten are amazing. It is a weight loss aid that is effortless, inexpensive, non-drug, and, although it does urge the user to eat less and exercise more, works even for people who can’t or won’t exercise and who don’t want to consciously diet. It has helped me to steadily lose weight without dieting or feeling deprived. Its binaural beats and subliminal suggestions prompt the user to automatically stop eating when satiated, to eat only the amount of food needed to sustain oneself for the day, to avoid eating so-called comfort foods that often lead to an uncomfortable feeling, and even to walk past the empty calorie and unhealthy processed food aisles in the supermarket, so it changes even one’s buying habits, making the whole family healthier. It is the perfect antidote to the constant barrage of subliminal messages that food processors and advertisers subject us to each day. I tried this hypnosis only after seeing positive reviews and commentary about Mr. Kirsten’s ABC of Better Sleep audiobook, which also worked well for me, as well as his smoking cessation audiobook, which, as a non-smoker, I have not tried, but which I understand has also delivered outstanding results."

Austen F.

"Hi Max, I just started the Weight Loss app for iPhone and it improves my days quite a bit. Well it really improves my mind set. I feel I have an easier time relaxing, I find myself actually saying out loud “eat less, eat better, exercise more” I am a big believer in the power of self. Thank you for this great app."

"‎I lost 3 kilos in my first week of using your weight loss iPad App, I drink water when before it was unheard of and I never overeat now… Whatever you set out to do, OMG… it’s worked…"

Michelle D.

"It worked for me. I was really sceptical when I brought this ap. As I’m not a great believer in alternative therapy. After listening as directed I’ve found after 3 weeks that I’ve gone from couch potato to exercising for 30 mins daily. I’ve lost 6 inches off my waist and 8 lbs in weight. The changes started slowly and seemed to gather momentum as the days have passed. I enjoy food more, even though I’m now eating thing I’d previously found boring (like salads) I drink more water and don’t eat as an emotional response. ENJOYING regular exercise and increased energy. Really believe that I can achieve my weight loss goals now and live a healthier happier life long term."

Charlotte T.

"For the first time ever I didn’t finish off my son’s Mcdonald's thanks to listening to your weight loss app. Fantastic, hope it lasts!"

Sandy L.

"Hi Max, I seen this app. on iTunes and was all like “Yeah Right!!!” but I have been the “Gluten Queen” lately and was feeling desperate for some support. I am 32, overweight, and so not happy with my body shape. After listening to your program I no longer get stressed and think of Krispy Kremes to cure it!! Ok well actually I do think of them out of habit but I don’t want them. Instead I don’t get them and start thinking of other things other then food or donuts!! I’m happy with the results. I wanted to change my habits and boost confidence. This program did it for me. The next day I sat down to eat and felt like I didn’t want to eat all the food in front of me. I still ate but when I would normally polish it all off and even get seconds, I realized I was full and still had food on my plate. That’s just not something I was raised to do. We aren’t supposed to waist our food- that’s what I was taught. After I was finished eating the next day after listening to you- it was weird- how could I not clean my plate?? It’s just getting better too… I crave healthier food. I drink more water. I am already smiling more and feeling happy about my new journey. I have never felt like that “bad side” of me was not there. It’s gone- It’s great!! Actually, I visualized that bad side of me sitting at the top of the stairs, staring at me, like a dark shadow just watching me go down the black stone stairs. I left it behind. Haven’t seen it since. SIGH!!! That was super cool- nothing like that has ever happened to me. I wish you could see the smile on my face right now!! THANK YOU SO MUCH MAX KIRSTEN Be Healthy!!"

"Dear Max, THANK YOU for your Conquering Fear app. For 10 years I’ve struggled with depression resulting from various life challenges including financial uncertainty. For 10-years I’ve tried medications, a psychiatrist – and nothing worked! I listen to your app every day! Thank you for helping me to recover and take charge of my thoughts and life."

"An unknown virus caused damage in my right ear causing mild to moderate hearing loss. I then realised that I was also suffering with tinnitus. I spent many months attending a tinnitus clinic to try and come to terms with the condition which was ruling my life. In desperation a friend mentioned Max Kirsten as a highly regarded hypnotherapist.

I have only visited Max for one session and although the tinnitus hasn’t ‘gone’, Max helped tremendously in helping me to become more acceptant of the condition and also to try to become calmer within myself. My coffee intake has remained a maximum of two cups a day, whereas before my visit was up to ten. I still have some ‘bad’ days but I know within myself that it is not constant and that the bad day will pass. Max helped me and I can only recommend him highly as a gateway to which has made what I first found almost impossible to cope with, to a condition that I am more accepting of.

He phoned me on a number of occasions as a follow up and, in fairness did suggest another appointment. I felt one was enough but actually am planning to return to see if another session might help me even more.

If anyone is thinking about making an appointment, all I can say is DO IT!"

"Hi Max!  I just have to write because I don’t know what finally happen. I kept the one week of no chocolate and the days  kept passing by without a problem at all. I can now walk past any chocolate and laugh at how ridiculously powerful it was before and how I don’t even want to touch  it now. I am so grateful, I almost didn’t think I was able to ever be free. Its an amazing feeling.  My mind is still struggling from time to time with finishing food at the right time but never ever to the same degree as I use to.  Thank you so so much for what you have done so far though! And I’m sure you’ve heard it all before but really, this saved my life!  Take care!"

"Max Kirsten – I was not sure about hypnotherapy, I guess because I had never had a specific ‘need’ for it before, but honestly it was an incredible journey that I took through Max’s work. He took me back and made me remember what it felt like to be ‘me’ again, healthy and ‘ana’ free. Something that I had completely lost all memory of, or i was too far into anorexia to reach that far away and remember how I used to feel and live my life. Max’s support has been simply incredible throughout my recovery and I highly recommend his work for all sorts of addictions. Thanks, Clare"

"Hi Max! Thank you so much for everything you did for me when I was unwell. Really means a lot especially now I am 100% back to myself. The last few months I have just become totally myself. Not one bit of any eating disorder is left and I know it will never return. I still study hypnosis books actually . It makes me feel sick when I think how unwell I was and a complete stubborn pain, but I got there in the end and I love every single day. I came off the anti-depressants I was put on and everyday I just grow as myself. All I ever wanted was to be me again because I was always so happy and loved life and that’s exactly where I am now. Hugely grateful to this man for getting me to start eating again when I was at my lowest point. Cannot thank you enough for everything you did for me I wouldn’t have my little family if it wasn’t for you and Kyra Mathers. You deserve all the recognition thank you beyond words, and huge congratulations xx xxxx."

"Hello Max , I just wanted to let you know what an incredible difference your relaxation download has made to my life. I have been listening to you, using the main session, everyday now for about 10 days. I own a restaurant in france, a job i love but which can be very stressful and exhausting. I have a french partner who I love very much but he is a typical french chef who gets very stressed and shouts a lot in the kitchen! All of which added to my own stress. Also I am going through a difficult perimenopause and can get very emotional and moody.Now it all seems to just float over my head and i feel i can cope with everything. I really cant believe the difference your hypnosis has made to my life in such a short time. So thank you enormously! I have also downloaded your quit smoking programme which i intend to start in a couple of weeks – i am completely positive that it will work for me (though i have smoked since I was 16 and tried to give up several times before)
I can't thank you enough, you really have changed my life."

"At the beginning of July this year my 12 year old daughter Olivia came to see Mr Kirsten for help with a problem she has had since an operation approximately one and a half years ago. We are very pleased that the constant headaches  she was suffering have all but disappeared. Kind regards, Catherine"

"I arranged to see Max in 2014 as I was preparing to undergo IVF treatment. This was my 14th attempt and I had also suffered several miscarriages, one of which had been a particularly horrendous experience. Emotionally I was very low and feared that even if I did conceive, that I may never carry my baby to full term. Max identified my fears and discussed them openly with me before the hypnosis session began. I found the 1 to 1 sessions very relaxing and enjoyable and I left Max’s office feeling more positive about life generally and believing that my treatment could actually work. Between sessions with Max, I listened to his relaxation App which reinforced the messages and I almost always drifted off to sleep and woke up feeling refreshed. I’m delighted to say that my treatment did work and I am now the proud mother of my gorgeous seven month old son. I would like to thank Max for all of his support. I truly believe that he helped me to believe in myself, reduce my stress levels and relax during my last IVF treatment. With best wishes, Julia"

"Hi Max, Thank you again for all your help last week. I had a great flight out to Istanbul.  I’m feeling much more confident about flying and will continue to listen to your apps. Best wishes. Christina"

"Hello, I had an appointment with Max in March for fear of flying that was really serious and after my one session I have been so much better, so unfased by it and almost unable to imagine a bad flight; the session and his MP3 recordings also really helped with general anxiety. Thank you. Aida."
