I have suffered with insomnia for about 11 years. I would put in a full day at work, running an office, responsible for a staff of 42 people, supporting the president and CEO of a corporation in Washington DC. By the time I got home, my body was exhausted, but my mind would continue to race. At night, I would worry so intensely about sleeping that I would fear it. Bedtime was scary for me. I read so many books about insomnia and spent thousands of dollars on new beds promising me a good nights’sleep but nothing worked. I was at the end of my rope. I used and abused sleeping aids, over the counter drugs, prescription drugs and I still did not sleep. On a typical night, I would take 5 Excedrin Pms and 1 or 2 Ambiens. If that didn’t work, I’d take a Xanax and/or Benadryl. This frightening ritual was just about every night of the week. Any sleep I did get with these drugs left me feeling groggy and tired. Recently, my best friend sent me Kristin Volk Funk’s tape, with a handwritten note that said, ‘Here is the hypnosis tape, for Gods sake DON’T LISTEN TO IT WHILE DRIVING- IT’S HYPNOSIS!’ I smiled and smirked at the same time. “AS IF, I thought to myself, like this is going to work on me!! With my high tolerance I thought this would be just one more thing to prove that I am a non-sleeping freak of nature. Another failure. Nonetheless, I promised myself that I would listen to it that night. I listened and really, REALLY liked it! I felt a warm calming feeling slowly come over me. I LOVE THIS WOMAN’S VOICE!! I felt ‘light’, like the weight of the world had been taken off my shoulders. The next thing I remember it was morning and I felt GREAT! I had slept the entire night through, without ANY drugs or medications and I felt WONDERFUL! To be perfectly honest, I was a non-believer and thought myself to be non-hypnotizable, but I have listened to this tape every night since then and have peacefully drifted off into a tranquil, deep, MUCH NEEDED sleep. Thank you, Kristin!

Nearly 13 years later and I’m still not smoking! I have sent many people to you over the years, and many have also been able to quit, without the mood swings, the eating binges, or the white knuckle sweats. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

When I first started Kristin’s program, I weighed 220 pounds. With her techniques, I easily lost 40 pounds and have stayed at a healthy 180 pounds for over two years. Kristin got me past the psychological walls that used to keep me overweight. I quit smoking thanks to Kristin as well!

I was getting almost no sleep at night because of hot flashes. Now I just listen to your Stress Release CD during the day and I feel refreshed and focused. You should rename your recording the Menopause Tape!

My experience with Kristin has been nothing but positive. Her combination of counseling and hypnosis has made losing a lifetime of poor eating habits and excess weight very easy. The weight is melting off me! The program is about switching bad lifestyle habits for healthy ones, and it is not difficult. I don’t know why I waited so long to do this.

My son, who has been in a slump since the start of baseball season, listened to your recording on sports performance before his game yesterday. They started a tournament with that game, so he’s on his third game since listening. Over the course of these three games, he has made several great (and creative!) plays, he’s gotten on base 3/4 at-bats, and has had no errors. A true turn around story. THANK YOU!!

You have genuinely helped transform my life!!! I honestly can’t thank you enough!

You helped me quit smoking 10 years ago. THANK YOU!!! Still not smoking and loving it!!!

Hi Kristin, Well, nearly 13 years later and I’m still not smoking! I remember calling you one cold Saturday many years ago, asking when you could see me. I walked in at 11:30 the following Monday, we had our session and I haven’t smoked since. I have sent many people to you over the years, and many have also been able to quit, without the mood swings, the eating binges, or the white knuckle sweats. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I just had my first ever writing published and was thinking of you. I wanted to say thank you for your encouragement in that area and all others!

Kristin, It’s been 4 years and my wife and I are both still not smoking, thanks to you.

It’s been one month since our appointment and I have to report that I haven’t smoked a single cigarette! Thank you endlessly for the gift of health. Hope all is well with you as you continue to heal others, you have inspired me!
