“It is an amazing experience walking out of his office, half-dizzy from all the work that has been done but happy with tangible results.”
– Mary S., Yelp review
“Brian has a jam-packed toolbox of approaches, not just hypnosis. He doesn’t waste your time and he approaches his work with honesty and integrity.”
-Elise Delano, Newton
Clients are unique. They structure their problems in different ways. So I’ve developed a wide variety of tools to help them get things solved. Mostly that means different types of hypnosis work. Sometimes it’s other types of coaching and personal change techniques.
My style can be soft and caring, encouraging clients to take things slowly, to allow time for a process. It can also be very direct and provocative with results coming very quickly.
Client sessions happen privately in my downtown Boston office. No groups or stage shows or past lives. Just practical, focused, one-on-one work to help my clients succeed in getting solid, long-term results they’re happy with.

As of 8/2018, I’ve earned a five-star average on Yelp and a 4.4 star average on Google’s Boston Hypnosis user review page.
I’ve been a guest speaker at both MIT and Boston University, and I’ve appeared in articles in USA Today, Boston Magazine and Boston.com.
I think any time people see “rave reviews” on a web site like this, the question arises, “how do I know they’re real?”
Bottom line is, you don’t. Since this work is therapeutic and often deals with deeply personal issues, I don’t supply e-mail addresses or phone numbers for my former clients. That said, I can tell you that I collected them from –
– emails sent during the course of the work and in response to my later follow-ups
– voice mails (transcribed) left in response to my follow-ups on the work
– online reviews posted at sites like Google, Yelp, etc.
Some of the quotes came spontaneously. Others I’ve asked for at the end of the work when clients have said they’re very happy with what they’ve achieved. Some clients requested their names be changed for privacy, but the actual content is word-for-word accurate. To the best of my knowledge, every quote on the site and on the review sites around the web is true. The only distinction I’d make is in several quotes where clients have given me the credit – it’s always the client who deserves the credit. Basically I’m a guide. I’ve helped them do the work, but the clients are the ones who did the work to achieve the results.
And yes, I do get emails from clients who haven’t been successful (fortunately there are a lot fewer of those). While I don’t use them on the site, I’m happy to talk about them if you ask.
