"I wish to express my sincere and complete appreciation for what you have helped me with. Overcoming my fear of (let's call it) "water" has opened a entirely new realm of possibilities for me. Thank you to your guidance and learnings. You are an amazing man Travis, and have truly found your calling! The fact that you took the time to meet me at the pool in order to assess and provide immediate feedback is remarkable, you are definitely concerned for the successes of your clients.

I recently round myself at a point in my life where I found myself obsessing over some particular things in my current relationship.I had come to a point where the obsession became so bad I found myself almost on the verge of tears. I had done everything possible on my own to try to rid myself of these thoughts and move on with little to no success. It was during one of my frantic attempts at finding a solution onine that I stumbled upon Travis' website and watched his introductory video. Although a little hesitant, I book a intro session with Travis just to see what he had to offer.
I went into my session knowing what I thought was the issue and hoping for a fix and to be on my way; little did I know Travis was going to truly open my eyes to everything I didn't know. Through coaching and some deep, meaningful conversation, Travis helped me develop awareness. Each session we had further developed my new found awareness to see the issue for what it truly was, and how it was impacting my life. A phrases often used during our meetings was "You don't know, what you don't know." This was pure truth. Had I never taken the leap of faith to work with Travis I would continue to be living in a nightmare world where I really had no idea what was going on and continued to suffer.
Travis' development of my awareness and strategies for growth have already begun to yield positive results in my life. Our conversations were always authentic and open; we both spoke from a place of complete vulnerability allowing there to be connection, understanding and growth.
The value Travis' coaching has provided will impact me for the rest of my life. I encourage anyone in need of guidance to take advantage of Travis' services. The most manly thing I have ever done, was putting my pride aside and stepping through Travis' door.

I felt the need to email you because, like I am sure many of your clients feel, you are a different kind of person, unlike most people I have ever met. I guess maybe what I found so interesting about you is the fact that when I first saw you, I thought "hmm, he looks like a jock I would have gone to school with..." and in thinking in that presumptuous judgemental way (my apologies :P), I was unprepared for your ability to connect yourself with people without you losing who you are...your sense of being real. Genuine... I suppose that's what it is. I don't know you, but I left the last session feeling a strong sense of connection with you and I think it's amazing that you are the person you are. I find you and your work incredibly interesting and I look forward to eventually meeting you again in the future. Thank you for the connection - I haven't felt it in a while - from one person to another.
- Brandy, Edmonton AB
It as been a few months since I last saw you. I just wanted to send a huge thank you your way. Life has been wonderful to say the very least. I never knew I could live without the doubts, worries or negativity before my sessions with you. After my 2nd session....I had learned that I had given up on and stopped taking care of myself, a hard lesson to learn because I came home that night and cried and cried periodically through the days that followed. It was 3 days later, I dug my heels in and firmly told myself that that will never happen again. Now that I have made the changes for myself, I see changes all around me, my kids are happier, friendships have rebuilt themselves, I attract positive and uplifting people and the negative influences have drifted away. And all of this was occurring without me noticing at first. I have found that if I don't feel good about something or can't laugh about it, I have no space in my mind for it and like that it's gone......a truly freeing experience. I always knew the barriers I had were within but had no clue how to break them down or if some of them could be broken at all. But with your teachings and tools I have reshaped my mind....and for that I owe you a tremendous thank you! You are truly gifted at what you do and an inspirational person. So thank you from the bottom of my heart....because with your help.... my life, mood and mind set has been transformed.
- Jennifer Spielman, Edmonton AB
Thanks for the big hand you have given me in self actualization and realization! I have been using the amazing EFT almost daily with smashing success. I've done more research on the Law of Attraction, and realizing how powerful this tool is, employ it daily. My morning routine keeps getting easier and crazier with awesome results. I've also started nightly breathing meditation with chakra work and Reiki self-therapy. I feel like I'm on a cloud! Both my job and my business are taking off, too. For the smile more recommendation? My cheeks are sore! Ah, life ^-^
Rock on!
- Victoria Domshy, Edmonton AB
Wow...what an amazing feeling, walking downtown on lunch,
witnessing all of the smokers from Commerce Place nestling into their
"cubbies" in the wall, inhaling smoke after smoke into their lungs
because they are so controlled by habit or by some unknown reason that
plagues them...and of me walking by, drinking water, breathing in the
beauty of fresh air as I have never known it and NOT missing smoking
for one second. I realize now how wonderful it is to be in the moment,
and to truly embrace the moment because I am reliant on nothing. It
blows my mind to feel this way, and I thank you again.
- Lisa Popek, Edmonton AB
I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in May of 2007. Since then I
have had several flare ups that have forced me to basically put my life
on hold. The medications I'm taking helped, but I soon realized that
the side effects of them are almost as bad as the disease itself. That
is when I started looking in to alternative treatments. Ulcerative
colitis is a disease in which the immune system gets confused and
starts attacking the lining in the large intestine. Ultimately the mind
is what controls immune system function, so it only made sense to
correct things at the root of the problem. That is why I decided to
start working with Travis. Since then I have made steady improvements.
I have felt better with each session and my medication doses have been
reduced. I am confident that with a few more sessions and a little time
I will be able to feel great with out any medications at all. That is
something that I never would have thought possible before I started
treatment with Travis.

Hey Travis this is Kjellby. The hypnosis worked great. I felt 100 times
better and more confident. I played consistently to my full potential
in numerous situations. It was great! Thank you for your help.

I feel more relaxed and calm when I'm performing in front of people,
and seem to be able to focus on what I am doing at the time instead of
focusing on the other people around me - which used to make me feel
nervous. Because I feel more calm, focused and relaxed, I can enjoy
myself more and focus on improving instead of being caught up with
everything else.

As someone who has an extensive playing background in hockey, and is
the owner of a hockey conditioning company, it is clear to me that the
importance of the mental side of the game of hockey can not be
understated. The work Travis and his company did with my athletes
helped strengthen them mentally, improved their overall performance,
and did so in quick fashion.

Before you had come to our team we were experiencing a bit of a slump in our 2008-2009 campaign. We had started the season off better than I think anyone would have thought. Then, throughout the month of December we started to experience some difficulties with the team as well as our performance. We were struggling with confidence as a team and as players - consistency just was not there. You could feel the frustration throughout the room. The guys wanting things to get better and be able to get back on track, but it just seemed like nothing was working. When you came to the team and started to work with us. It started with each one of us looking at ourselves as individuals and reflect back on what we can do to gain focus in ourselves and well as confidence which would carry on to team confidence and focus.
Through talking and doing the exercises with us, you helped us re-gain the confidence, focus and the consistency we were looking for. From a captain standpoint, I have found that focus in the dressing room is now amazing and contagious throughout. Everyone has it - thinking about the same thing and we are able to keep that focus even when we have hardship. For instance, if there is a momentum shift in the game. We are able to keep the focus as a team and as players, and play on through it. What you have done with our team has allowed us re-gain confidence, focus and consistency. Allowing us to set goals for the rest of our regular season and carry it on throughout playoffs.
I would just like to thank you for what you have done for the Sherwood
Park Crusaders.
I would also recommend you to any other team struggling or not. We
would not have been able to do with out your help and we look forward
to continuing our work with you.
Thank you.
- Trevor Conrad (Captain, Sherwood Park Crusaders Junior 'A' Hockey) -
Sherwood Park, AB
Travis really helped by showing me how to anchor myself to a positive
state to control my anxiety around women. This made me a lot more
confident. I feel like I can approach anyone! I have never felt so
relaxed and calm as after one of his sessions.
- Vic Mittal - Edmonton, AB
I was having some trouble with a breakup, so I decided to get a session
from Travis. He helped me to realize some important things that I
wouldn't have seen otherwise. Now I'm able to think about my life with
a clear head and put myself first instead of settling for second best.
- Victoria Magas, Edmonton AB
(Note: Ross was born with cerebral palsy - a group of chronic conditions affecting body movements and muscle coordination. He initially came to see me to address issues of depression and social anxiety caused by thinking about his situation in a negative, disempowering way. Together, in the course of 3 sessions, we restructured his unconscious beliefs about his situation and thus allowed him to think about his life in a whole new way. Below is an excerpt from an email he sent to me 2 weeks after our work together...)
I just wanted to thank you for all your help. I continue to feel great,
and will always focus on positive energy and thoughts. I feel like
nothing is holding me back now and now I can be the person that I want
to be - out going and talking with other people TILL I TURN BLUE HAHA.
Thanks again Travis. I'm in a much better place now. One day
I would love to get together for coffee with my new girlfriend and
introduce you to her, and I truly believe that. Its only a matter of
time and I'm going to be my true self always, so I figure I
can't go wrong.
- Ross Bowler, Edmonton AB
Things are going pretty good. I feel like I am more in control of my
sleep now. Attending to the activities I like and giving myself extra
rest/sleep during the day whenever I feel like I need extra rest.
Thanks for all the help.
- B.D.G, Edmonton AB
I just wanted to thank you again for helping end my 25 year Tobacco addiction. As discussed during our first meeting, I'd tried everything to quit (Patches,Zyban,Champix,Will Power) and always kept going back for whatever excuse I could come up with. (stress etc.) I decided that I would try hypnosis and very reluctantly made an appointment to see you. I was scheduled for an afternoon appointment and made every attempt to smoke as much as possible on my way to that appointment as I could.
During the session, I found myself doubting the effects of the hypnosis
until I started to experience it for myself. I had lots of reservations
about hypnosis and can't thank you enough for my personal experience
with it. I know everyone responds differently, but my experience with
quitting was almost effortless with your program. I have been 6 Weeks
without Tobacco,and I find it hard to believe I'd spent so much of my
life doing it. Thanks again for your efforts and you can count me as
one of you successful clients.
- Scott McDonald, Edmonton AB
I'm still drinkin' tons of water and not eating nearly as much junk as
I used to. I'm pretty much a lightweight when it comes to food now
which is an awesome feeling! I've lost almost 47lbs in just over 3
months and I'm eager to lose the rest. I had my body comp done last
week and I went from 27% excess fat to 19% which is a huge thing. I
never thought something so simple could do so much, but so far so good!
I am missing the awesome feeling right after our sessions - but you
gave me so much to be happy about :) Food no longer consumes my life!
- Cynthia-Jean Smith, Edmonton AB
Before Hypnotherapy I ate takeout, chips, cheeses and lots of
chocolate. My friends called me the candy man. I was overweight and had
very low self esteem. I wanted to change, my search took me to Travis.
Best choice I have ever made. After three sessions of Think Yourself
Thin, my life changed for the better. Organics are all I eat and I have
lost 25 lbs. in 4 weeks. I am 53 but feel like a new man. If you are
ready for a change in your life, Travis is definitely the
hypnotherapist to help you reach your goals.
- Mike MacInnis, Edmonton AB
Things are going very well, Travis. I have to say that I don't look at
food the same way. Sometimes I forget to eat because I'm busy with my
courses. I'm working out everyday. My body is changing and I feel
FANTASTIC! I've lost 8lbs so far and am building some lean muscle. I
feel great! Thank you so much. You know, my way of thinking has totally
changed - I don't let it consume me anymore and honestly, I don't think
I noticed when the change really occurred... I just kept plugging away.
I feel I am in more control of my actions... I feel more confident in
my behavior and I put myself first instead of last. Thank you so much
for our sessions. You have helped me a great deal. I must confess, I do
miss our chats... you're truly a wonderful person who is meant to help
people.
- C. Rissling, Edmonton AB
Things in my world are good! The hypnotherapy totally helped! (I'm sure
this doesn't surprise you!) Before hypnotherapy, the only way I can
really describe it is that I felt sheer panic when flying. I felt
really vulnerable and like I was going to die. I felt like I couldn't
breathe and that my heart was jumping out of my chest. I also felt
nauseous as you already know. Of course this feeling was intensified
with any turbulence or stormy weather. Flying for me is completely
different than it was before - its like night and day. I'm not gonna
lie I still get a bit nervous before travel but its nothing like it was
before. I had one bad flight out of the 10 flights I had last month. We
had to fly through a storm so it was really turbulent. It didn't matter
though because on the way home I was so tired I couldn't have cared
less about flying! Thanks so much for everything and I hope you are
doing well!
- T.U., Edmonton AB
I already feel a shift and an underlying confidence that is ready to
come out of hiding. You have compassionate, non-judgmental energy. With
our intake session, I feel validated and heard! You touched on some key
points that have been mentioned to me by various energy healers, which
is interesting.
- K.B., St. Albert AB
I used to be extremely uncomfortable driving over bridges and
overpasses and I would avoid them at all costs. I decided to give
hypnotherapy a try and by the time I was finished working with Travis,
I was feeling more calm and relaxed and I had much more control. At
first it was tentative forays into the driving world but now I am so
relaxed when I am driving; doing bridges when I have to without even
thinking about it and also the overpasses... I don't even
realize it half the time until I am on it! It's made a huge
difference to me and I am very grateful.
- Beverly Simpson Headon, Edmonton AB
When I left that Monday afternoon, I felt lighter...like a weight had been lifted from me. I wasn't lighter physically but I was alot lighter spiritually and emotionally. Getting to the root of my instable emotions (thus also my emotional eating) was like someone rescuing me from a jail with no windows and a welded shut door! I was trapped in a dark and sad place with no light and no hope for many years and, with your help, we smashed through those jail walls and I knew there was hope and life for me once again. I thank you, from the deepest part of my heart, for walking with me through this journey, Travis. Don`t stop helping people, there`s alot of us out there!
- Tannis Stuckless, Edmonton AB
Well I'm sure there has been a shift for the best. I feel so alive inside and it shows in my work, I got a raise, making friends people want me to come with them to do stuff, call me all the time my life has changed so positively - it is amazing I am so happy that I got the help from you to seriously kick start my life in the direction that I wanted it to go for years. Still things I am working on yet these signals come to me daily. I could be here so long telling you all the wonderful things that happened to me. I am not sure what I thought hypnosis was going to be - some watch dangled in front of my face telling me what to do, yet this was so easy to do so free flowing and effortless I am so blessed to have met you. The biggest Thank You!! I want to tell you the biggest thanks ever. You are so amazing at what you do and there is a special purpose for what you do and to open my eyes to my life I know you are what I need at that time now I sleep every night so sound to [your self-hypnosis recording]. My daughter loves it to she does the exercises with me they sleep so deep and sound as we listen. There is two different people the one who came to see you; the first time lost and distressed and now this happy loving caring special wonderful person I am today. I know and feel every day that I am back to myself again that kind happy person I was and now am again so happy to be back in full swing and flow of. Thank You.
