D. M. - Trainer/Wellness Consultant, Ojai"A skeptic who smoked a pack a day for over 30 years. 1 session with Dr. Irwin and a week of listening to the recording while going to sleep....done. Three months in and I'm a former smoker. She also helped my mother of 85 years finally get some sound sleep, which has done wonders for her. Dr. Irwin's field of practice is not "one size fits all", so please don't be dissuaded by the handful of reviews that are not 5 stars. It's inevitable when dealing with behaviors and matters of the mind or heart or subconscious. I may not understand how it works, or why it may not click for everyone, but it worked for me, my mother and others I know. Reach out to Dr. Irwin when you're ready......and Good Luck!!"

Stop Smoking Hypnosis
Hamish Brocklebank, as reviewed on GoogleI could not have passed the Bar Exam without hypnosis. It completely allowed me to maximize my mental capabilities, and I actually knew while I was taking the exam that I would pass. Thank you, Nancy, for getting me through it!
Anxiety Hypnosis
D. D. - Attorney, Los AngelesDr. Irwin is a PHD as well as a hypnotherapist. She is wonderful....easy to talk to and makes you feel safe and heard. She really helped guide me with hypnosis to stop smoking marijuana and helped with some sleep issues. It was made perfectly clear that hypnosis can't make you do/don't something you aren't REALLY committed to changing.
Hypnosis to Stop Smoking Marijuana
EG in Venice, CA, as reviewed on YelpAfter years as an actor, I began panicking at auditions. Hypnotherapy really helped me get past the fear of rejection and express myself freely again.
Anxiety Hypnosis
F. F. - Actor, Hollywood, CAI came to Dr. Irwin over a year ago to help with fear of public speaking. Through my career in public accounting, I spend a lot of time presenting to and working with companies’ executive management, audit committees, and their Board's. For the past 15 years, I have felt my fear and nervousness of speaking in public has held me back from effectively presenting to my clients. Working with Dr Irwin has provided me with various techniques to harness the fear and nervousness into positive energy to effectively communicate and adapt my style to my audience. I still work on my techniques daily and have periodic touch points with Dr Irwin, but have seen and heard very positive feedback from my clients, co-workers and my firm's leadership. I would definitely recommend Dr Irwin to my family, friends and co-workers.

Fear and Phobia Hypnosis
S. S. - Web Developer/Software Engineer, Pacific Palisades, CADr. Nancy B. Irwin changed my life in 40 minutes. I still can't believe it. I waited two months to write this to see if I was truly cured. And I am. If you have any problems at all, and if you know what they are and just can't get yourself to overcome them, go and see her. I guarantee that she will help more than anything. I've already seen her twice for two different problems that have each debilitated me for years and she fixed both of them permanently. If you don't believe in magic, you will, although Dr. Irwin's humility makes her argue for the science of the brain and the power of the subconscious. I am convinced that with hypnosis, and with Dr. Irwin in particular, I will never be at the mercy of my mind ever again. I will see her for any other problem I can think of, petty or painful, until I feel as I should. I have about a dozen things left to "fix" and I have no doubt that she will help me reach every goal I have. It's very hard for me to keep from writing a dissertation about how blown away I am by this whole experience, so instead, I will leave my email. Feel free to contact me regarding Dr. Irwin. I will personally take the time to answer any questions you may have about my time with her, what came before, and the details of the results I've obtained with her help.

Z. T. - Computer Tech, Ventura County, CAI smoked for over 20 years and tried quitting several times without success. Of all the smoking cessation methods, hypnotherapy is the only one that worked. Thanks, Dr. Nancy!
Smoking Cessation Hypnotherapy
B. T. - General Contractor, Santa Monica, CAMy sessions with Dr. Irwin have been fantastic. She is knowledgeable, empathetic, and thorough in her explanations and treatment. Combined, those qualities translate into a wonderful hypnotherapy experience and with each session I see greater improvement in my well-being. The best part is that she records each session for you, if you wish, and provides an mp3 so you can listen whenever you'd like. Personally, I listen to both recordings I have each night as I fall asleep and I wake up each morning feeling refreshed and positive. If you are looking for a hypnotherapist with proven success and the kindest of hearts, Nancy is the one. Highly recommended.

M. R. MFT/Psychotherapist - Los AngelesAfter you spoke to us, two students contacted our school nurse about their being sexually abused. Thanks to you, they were able to start on the path to recovery. I just wanted to let you know that what you do is important.

T. L. - Reporter, The ClarionI achieved INCREDIBLE results with Dr. Irwin, and I think she is outstanding. I, probably like many people, was very skeptical about hypnotherapy before my session with Dr. Irwin but I decided to give it a try because all of the other habit-breaking methods/groups that I had tried did not work at all for me. Dr. Irwin records your sessions so that you can listen to them over and over to reinforce the positive messages. I could not recommend anyone higher and am very grateful that a friend recommended her to me.
Hypnotherapy
Bren Conner, as reviewed on GoogleI attended a hypnotherapy session for smoking cessation with Dr. Nancy Irwin 15 years ago and to this day I am still a non smoker. I had attempted to quit several times using various approaches but this was by far the best. Her approach to helping you understand the reasons for the addiction, both physical and mental eased the withdrawal process and gave me determination to succeed. Truly a life saving experience!

Anxiety Hypnosis
K. C. - Physical Therapist, San Diego, CAI went to see Dr. Nancy few years ago. I must say that at the time I was rather skeptical about hypnotherapy especially after numerous attempts to quit smoking with all sort of methods. Nancy was extremely accommodating and informative and the outcome of our session couldn't be more successful. I quit smoking right away without any effort. I have recommended many friends that have succeeded as well and will continue doing so.
