Testimonials

"I was pretty depressed about my life at the beginning of 2010 - at the end of the previous year I had caused an accident which left me scared to drive on the freeways and at night; I was trying with no success to lose weight, at work there was downsizing and I was afraid I would lose my job.  In other words, life sucked.

A co-worker suggested I see a hypnotherapist she knew who had helped her and maybe this person could help me with my weight.  So that is how I arrived at Maria Olga Paiz's Office, scared and depressed about everything.  Maria made time for me during the weekends and was never a clock watcher concerning the length of our sessions.  She not only concentrated on my weight, but also on my feelings about the car accident, worries about my job, money and future plans.  Shorthly thereafter, it was suggested that I retire at the end of the year.  Maria tackled all of my problems, made me work on seeing possibilities in my future.  She went so far as to drive me through the place of my car accident over and over again until I understood exactly what had happened and why.  She applied the same tactics in discussing with me my future alternative and possibilites as to where to move to and what to do.  She also very patiently made me realize what I should and what I should not eat in order to lose weight but also in order to eat healthier food by shopping at better stores, reading labels, avoiding ingredients not good for me.  All in all, from the wreck that I felt I was when I began seeing Maria, in four months she had managed to make me a braver person, willing to take risks and plan for a future without fear.  I lost weight and the freedom I feel now of being able to once again drive the freeways day and night, living with the idea of retirement as a good thing to look forward to and the peace of mind I now have is Maria's work and I thank her from the bottom of my heart."    N.P. 2010

“Maria, thank you so very much for the terrific program and all the support.  I am having
great success and making positive changes having lost 16 out of my projected 20
lbs. (or more) in three months.  I am really changing my eating habits and focused
on good health, not just losing weight. You Maria have been beyond wonderful! 
So very compassionate in addition to being skilled.  All in all I have a very positive
attitude.  Thank you, thank you!”

“ I wanted to learn more about nutrition and how to develop healthier eating
habits. This Meetup.com was very informative. Maria took the time to investigate
why I was on the weight loss-weight gain roller coaster and showed me things that
I could do to improve my eating habits. She suggested different foods that I could
try as substitutes for the junk I was eating. I am looking forward to shedding
pounds, improving the way I feel, and having a healthier lifestyle. Thanks, Maria,
for getting me started.”   J.H.  July  2009

I began my weight-loss program with Solutions 2 Life in December of 2008.  

I signed up for a 6 month course, as I wanted to lose around 25 pounds.  I figured
that it would be good to go slowly.  I began at 165 pounds.  The sessions were easy
and listening to the tapes every night, before sleep helped to reinforce the
suggestions that Maria made during the sessions.  I lost my goal of 25 pounds in
the 6 months and have continued to lose.  As of today I have lost 30.6 pounds. 

Solutions 2 Life helped me to focus on being "satisfied", so that I do not over eat. 
The recorded CD's have continued to help me relax and feel good about my weight
loss.

Thank you, Maria!  I feel that I will never have the eating problems again.

Vickie Myers.
