Essy Freed is a clinical hypnotherapist for the Hypnosis Center of Dunwoody. Always interested in how the brain works, Essy read an article about hypnosis while she was in school. She’s been practicing now for 25 years. In addition to her work as a hypnotherapist, Essy is also a licensed clinical social worker, and has worked in hospice. Essy suggests that each of us goes in and out of hypnosis every day, and that hypnosis is nothing more than a state of suggestibility that allows us to tap the 88% of our mind that is used on the subconscious level. Essy can be reached at 770-390-0444, or on the web at www.hypnosisdunwoody.com.
Today’s final guest is a licensed acupuncturist for the ASA Acupuncture & Wellness Center in Suwanee. Toni Idiaquez started her career in the military. During this time, Toni sustained a knee injury that kept her from running or completing a physical. Though an MRI showed no observable tears, the injury refused to heal. Desperate, Toni sought alternative to traditional medicine. After only eight accupuncture treatments, Toni was able to walk and run without pain. Consequently, she went back to school, obtaining an MS in Oriental Medicine and began sharing her discovery with others. Toni can be reached at (770) 313-0106, or via email at toni@galandfinders.com.
