I picked-up a brochure at a local Health Store. The brochure was for a local Hypnotherapist named Rebecca Wallace DBA as New Horizons Hypnotherapy. The brochure stated that she can hypnotize anyone, so they would quit smoking in a one hour session, GUARANTEED!
I called and set-up an appointment and when I got there, I was surprised that the session was out of her home. I asked for some licensed credentials and she didn't produce any. She stated she didn't have a current business license as she had just moved to that address. My first red flag to leave, but I didn't. I sat down in a room (spare bedroom) and the first thing she asked, was she needed payment of $500. I gave her a check and now realize that was my second red flag. Payment shouldn't be requested prior to services provided. I did the one hour session, and when I left, she said Congratulations, you are now a non-smoker. About half hour after I left the session, I realized I was still a smoker. Nothing had changed, but I was $500 lighter. Third red flag.
I called her and told her I didn't quit smoking, the hypnosis didn't work and I was very unhappy with the session and that I just wanted a refund. She stated NO, she would not refund my money, but she would give me a half hour session (waste of MY time) refresher. I said no, I just want my money back! She said NO again and then I asked her if she was even a legitamite business, and she quickly hung-up on me. I called a few days later, only to have her hang-up on me again.
This is a complete Scam/Rip-off and does NOT work. She takes your $500 and her one hour session of hynotherapy doesn't work at all.
