“I turned to Cori with help on weight release and in six weeks I have lost 10 pounds so far! She helped me break my serious and unhealthy addiction to candy, and I have not craved it since our first session. Working with Cori is a pleasure and she is very adaptable. We were having technical issues with our video conference, so she made a pivot to do the session over the phone and it worked out fine. It's great to know in these times of social distancing that you don't have to meet in person to get results. I would definitely recommend Cori McConnell Hypnosis to my family and friends!"

“It was an incredibly beneficial experience working with Cori on reducing stress in my life. Her voice was soothing as she guided me through the hypnosis. I trusted her immediately and felt extremely relaxed. She was able to help me still my ever-moving mind and set clear intentions and goals. Afterward, I had a deep sense of calm and also confidence in my ability to do the work. Cori is an excellent listener, non-judgmental, and very easy to talk to. She gave me an experience I continue to return to for strength and focus. “

“I guess I need to write you another review. I accepted a new position today!” - Margaret

“Cori took her time to thoroughly understand what I wanted to achieve from hypnosis in a pre-session call. Our session was so calming and relaxing... Over the next few days and weeks I’ve noticed that the issue I wanted “corrected” seems to have magically vanished. It’s amazing! I highly recommend Cori to help with any issue you are wanting to shake off."

“Hypnosis with Cori was very relaxing, she was able to address a few concerns I had surrounding finances. Since then I have been confident in the prices I charge for my services. It is fascinating how money blocks are formed from childhood and how hypnosis was able to bring that to light. I highly recommend Cori! She has a gift and makes you feel very comfortable from the first moment.

"Cori is great! I came to her seeking help with quitting smoking. I have smoked for half my life. Although as of today I am not 100% smoke free, she has helped me change my routines and talk myself out of a craving. I know that one day very soon I will be and that is all thanks to her because I have zero will power. “

“Cori helped me to regain my passion for running after several years out of the sport. I now have a renewed excitement when I go out for a run and I find myself enjoying time spent running, where in years past I would feel the opposite. Cori is excellent at her craft, and her results speak for themselves. Call her ASAP, you won't be disappointed.”

“Cori helped me break a deeply ingrained 40-year stress eating habit. Her passionate, intelligent, compassionate process is base on extraordinary preparation and individualized services. While originally somewhat skeptical, upon completion of hypnosis I am now incredibly impressed by and grateful for her extraordinary services."

— Dom, CT, March 2021

Update May 2021”Cori, I can’t thank you enough. You should be so proud of yourself, I am down approx 40lbs and don’t eat after dinner any longer and track almost every bite of food into my fitness pal. I feel great thanks to your help.” -Dom

“My session with Cori helped me tremendously releasing emotional anxiety and stress which I felt was responsible for my increasing level of pain in my hips. This discomfort that I had been experiencing for a few years resulted in stifling me from expressing love and kindness to those who depended on me.I felt totally comfortable as the Intake started, and when I learnt that Cori utilized similar principles as propounded by Louise Hays in her treatment, it made me even more relaxed and happy that I was being helped to put those principles into daily practice in my life. After my initial session, I felt peace and serenity and optimism returning into my life and for the first time in a very long time I felt positive about the future. I am very grateful and appreciative of the help provided by Cori.”

— Betty, CT, May 2021

I found her very empathetic and appreciated tremendously how gently Cori guided me towards assisting me with tools, affirmations and resources to help me manage critical issues.

I feel I came out of her sessions feeling positive, energized with a sense of personal empowerment. I feel and increase in self esteem, and confident and feel happy to and happy to hear reflections of such sentiments by family and friends.

“ I came to Cori after couple failed attempts at passing my boards. I was so nervous to reach out as hypnosis previously was talked about in such a negative light. However, I was desperate to try something and the most recent research on hypnosis is quite promising. After reaching out to Cori, she scheduled a pre-session video call and did such a thorough intake. She so easily and quickly learned about my test anxieties and I felt understood and validated. She explained what hypnosis was all about and as she spoke, it reminded me of my own work as a clinician. She wanted to help and I knew that. My favorite part about going through hypnosis with Cori was her gentle, kind, and engaging approach. She not only put me under hypnosis, but she helped me utilize positive affirmations, guided imagery, and sent me a recording to do self hypnosis which all helped me finally pass my boards. I can’t thank Cori enough and I will definitely recommend people to her who are looking to start the healing/goal achievement process. Thank you, Cori!!!”

You have to understand the journey I've been on. I'm required to fly and have been for the past two decades (mostly from the North East to Florida). Only 1 - 2 round trips per month recently, but more than your average person. I have a military background with more combat experience than most people you would encounter in your day to day. I've rappelled and fast roped from helicopters and faced extreme environments unknown to many. Trust me when I say, "I have guts". While I do have fear, it does not drive me to back away from things I want to do and/or accomplish (usually).

I've always enjoyed flying from a young age (16). I thought planes were magical. I remember staring out a plane portal day dreaming about my future. This would last for many years. Nonetheless, over time, I slowly developed a fear of flying. I don't remember the first time I was fearful on a flight, but I do recall slowly getting annoyed with the airport grind. The idea of sitting in a tube with people I didn't really want to share space with, much less hours of my life, began to make me anxious. Then something did trigger me quite noticeably. You may remember an issue back in late 2018 and early 2019 with the 737 Max. I won't go into the details here, but let's just say a lot of people died. This ramped up my anxiety to a level I couldn't deny or contain. For the next two years I progressively got worse. Each flight seemed to have more turbulence than the last and filled me with dread. Every fear you can imagine would go through my head. "This plane is going to crash. I'm going to die in this tube, with these people, breathing someone else's farts. Awesome! This is how I die after all that I've lived through." My anxiety progressed to the point that I began worrying about my next flight as soon as I landed from my last. Finally, I had an all-out panic attack in the air. I thought I must be dying. "Good. Better this way. That way everyone can watch (sarcasm)." This was bad. My heart raced, I couldn't breathe. They had me take off my shirt and breath into a paper bag. Yeh, I'm that guy now. A surgeon just so happened to be on the flight. He helped calm me. He said, if I didn't calm down, he was going to intubate. That was my low point. I started to look for a way out. I couldn't stop traveling, but maybe I could take a train or drive. These were not viable options because each would add at least a day to my trip. Finally I pleaded with my wife to move to Florida. I was willing to leave a town and home I love, uproot my kids, and change careers. I felt desperate, but Hypnosis was furthest from my mind.

I didn't believe in Hypnosis. It seemed like a scam. I thought Hypnotists were bottom feeders making a buck off vulnerable people. A family member convinced me to give it a try. After all, worst case scenario I lose a few hundred dollars and get to tell my loved one they were wrong. Not great, but I was desperate. I had my initial consult with Cori back in 2021. During our session, I realized the reason I was so fearful of dying now, was because of my Wife and Children. I am part of a big family, and our Dad died when I was 15. He had brain cancer. I didn't want to leave my Wife and Kids behind. I couldn't bear the thought of leaving them like my Dad left. Not that it was his fault, but the impact remains today. More than 20 years later, the aftershocks of his death are stronger than I could ever have imagined. I've been suppressing this for some time. Nothing like pushing 40 and realizing you have Daddy issues.

As I type this note, it is more than a year later. Now, you may ask yourself why it took me so long to write a review. It's simple. I wanted to make sure it worked. Believe me when I say, I've tested the tools Cori gave me. I followed her instructions, and found peace. Today I fly anxiety and fear free. I am forever grateful for her careful preparation, calming voice, and patience (because I am not an easy client). If only she could do something about the farts.

If you are struggling, want relief, and believe in the power of the mind, you should give Cori a call. It could change your life.
