Stop Smoking
I had been smoking 35-40 cigarettes a day for 37 years and had tried everything, Acupuncture, Nicorettes, Patches, nothing worked. One session with Lindsay in January 1995 and I haven’t smoked since. I can now sit down and have a beer without a smoke. It is marvellous.

Stress
I just wanted to write and thank you for you help getting me back on track. When I first met you, I was on the point of a breakdown, I couldn’t talk to anyone without crying. One session with you really helped me let go of a lot of these old feelings of hurt, disappointment and sorrow I had been carrying around for so long. My career has taken a dramatic turn for the better and my feelings of self worth have improved two hundred fold. I can’t thank you enough for your help and ongoing support.

Grief
My husband passed away in October 2001.
I was handling the situation less than ‘well’, as I was traumatised by the finality of his death. I found it difficult to stay at home for any length of time and reacted physically with panic attacks and, at times, my hands shook so much I had difficulty holding a cup of coffee.
I informed my G.P. that I did not wish to use drugs and he recommended I see Lindsay Ostrofski.
After two consultations with Lindsay in January 2002 my anxiety was almost completely gone and my grief was considerably relieved.
I am indebted to and recommend Mr. Ostrofski to anyone requiring this type of assistance.

Phobias
This letter is to testify to the fact that my son Matthew, was totally cured of a severe phobia which had virtually destroyed his life, after one consultation with the hypnotherapist Lindsay Ostrofski. Matthew had been diagnosed by specialist doctors as suffering from Schizotypal Personality Disorder, Asbergers Syndrome and a form of Schizophrenia. His phobia was to store mannequins which made it virtually impossible for him to leave the security of his home for many years. He is now able to visit shopping centres etc without any ill effect or fear of any kind.
Our sincere thanks go to Mr Ostrofski.

Relationships
Changes I’ve noticed in Peter:-
- More tolerant
- Able to handle problems better
- More thoughtful
- Not as selfish
- Listens more to other peoples opinions
- Much happier
- A small change in affection to me
- Still no intimacy between us
- He is more aware of how important family & friends are to everyday life
- On the whole, Peter is a much nicer human being to be around
Many thanks

Study
I came to see Mr. Ostrofski in desperation, to see if he could cure me of my patterns of binge-eating, anxiety, and depression. I am 24 years old, and over the years I have tried everything I could think of to get rid of them, but nothing lasted very long. I recently returned to my tertiary studies, where the extra stress worsened these symptoms to a point where they were running my life and making me miserable.
On my second visit with Lindsay we talked about my immediate source of stress – assignment writing, which I find a real battle. After listening to me describe it, he was able to explain why I was having so much trouble and show me a technique I could use that was simple and made perfect sense to me. He then did a hypnotism that referred to this technique to reduce anxiety and stress. I walked out of his office feeling absolutely new and confident.
I am grateful for Lindsay’s wide field of knowledge and understanding. He was very easy to talk to and trust. Three months on, study is still stressful for me but I am feeling more confident and able to cope with my assignments more easily. Bit what also happened is that my binge-eating and associated depression unexpectedly reduced as well.
One hour of his help can go a long way.

Gambling
I am writing to thank you for all the help that you have given me. You have helped me to achieve what I believed impossible and for that, I owe you more than anyone can imagine. You have changed my life – no, more than that – you have given me life.
I have decided to write down my story in a letter to you in an effort to help other people. Please feel free to show this to anybody who has any doubts about your work.
This is my story…
In November 2001 I went to see Lindsay in an effort to stop gambling. I was addicted to poker machines and had been for many years. Over time I had lost over $100,000.
I first sought help for my gambling in 1999 when I went into a program at a local university. It didn’t help. Then I tried to get into counselling at the government funded Break Even but I had to wait 3 months. Whilst I was waiting I tried my local doctor who gave me drugs and referred me to a psychiatrist (who gave me drugs). None of this helped.
I finally got into Break Even and it worked for a while but eventually I started gambling again. I went back to Break Even and saw a psychologist this time (rather than a counsellor). The psychologist recognised that my gabling stemmed from other problems in my life, it was a symptom of my problems, not necessarily the problem itself. She was able to help me to identify some of these problems but was unable to show me how to deal with them. She would bring up all these issues that were causing me pain but did not show me how to deal with the pain. This caused me to become very depressed and unstable and I began to gamble again to hide from the pain.
This is where Lindsay came in. Lindsay recognised the same causes as the psychologist (and more) but the difference was that Lindsay guided me past the pain. The psychologist was exposing my wounds and leaving them to fester. I was a wreck. When Lindsay worked with me he treated the wounds and was able to heal many of them.
I had always been overweight, my self-esteem was very low, I was lonely and bored… the list goes on. My outlook on life was very negative and Lindsay has helped me to turn it all around.
I have lost weight, started socialising more, playing sport and basically am now a much happier person. I still have a little way to go but the future is now looking good. I have stopped gambling and very rarely feel the urge to do so and if I do, I know how to deal with it.
Lindsay has changed my life. He was able to help where nobody else has been able to before and I owe him more than I can say. I will recommend Lindsay to anybody who has a problem, be it gambling or anything else. He has a passion for his work and I believe that makes all the difference. He does not like to see anybody in pain and he will give his all to help you through.
Thank you Lindsay for your understanding and acceptance. It makes all the difference.
From your greatest fan,
S M
