Testimonials
-
Danielle is kind and insightful. The hypnotherapy was helpful in healing childhood trauma and re-framing painful memories. I am very grateful.
-
My partner did hypnotherapy with Ms. Jacobs for constant anxiety. I cannot express in words the difference this has made in her life. We left her office and the horns, city noises and etc had zero impact on her, while she was very easily startled before. Even at home, she now enters rooms without hesitation, which is a big change from before the treatment. The results exceeded my own expectations, and we cannot thank her enough.
-
I visited Danielle Jacobs for hypnotherapy. I have not had one episode of anxiety/panic since working with her. I feel like a whole new person! I can’t thank her enough for healing/helping me and changing my life! I am not triggered by noises anymore and can only name two instances where I jumped, but then immediately dismissed it! I will definitely visit her again if needed.

I recently had the most profound and transformative experience with my therapist during a past life regression session, and I truly feel changed in the best possible way. One of the lives I revisited was that of a compassionate physician somewhere in Europe — the specific era escapes me, but the emotions and clarity I felt were unforgettable. In that lifetime, I practiced medicine with genuine care, empathy, and dedication to others. Seeing myself in that role suddenly made so much sense. It explained why, in this life, the path to becoming a doctor never fully aligned: we cannot redo a life we’ve already lived. But what we can do is carry it's lessons forward. And that is exactly what I’ve done — continuing to move through this life with the same empathy, kindness, and desire to help others. What made the experience even more special is that we explored more than one lifetime. Each one offered its own wisdom — threads of courage, intuition, resilience, and compassion that connected perfectly with who I am today. It was eye-opening to see how these pieces come together across time, shaping my strengths, my sensitivities, and even the challenges I’ve faced. Danielle held such a safe, grounded space for this journey. Her guidance made it easy to relax, trust the process, and receive the messages meant for me. I walked away feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply understood — both by her and by myself. If you’ve ever been curious about past life regression or simply want to understand yourself on a deeper level, I cannot recommend this experience — or my therapist — enough. It has been healing, enlightening, and truly unforgettable.

My experience with Danielle and hypnotherapy was so meaningful. I had a very emotional, vivid past life regression, which made me understand why impactful events happened in my current life, my soul connection with my son, and why I repeated certain behaviors as a child. After that session, I started my journey with hypnosis to become a hypnotherapist myself. I feel like a researcher of lot knowledge! I feel it deep in my soul, it’s like a calling. I studied Qhht and I am on my 4th book of Dollores Cannon. I highly recommend hypnotherapy and past life regression with Danielle.

After a tragic and traumatic event in my life I knew I needed guidance and help. I’m so glad that I found Danielle and she helped me navigate the difficult times with a mix of talk therapy and emdr. I purchased touchpoint wristbands so we could do emdr therapy online as we are both in different parts of the country. I was very nervous to do the emdr as it means revisiting the event and at first I wasn’t quite sure whether it made a difference. But a difference it made. It just took a while for me to notice that my emotions were not running the show all day anymore. I also learned techniques to calm my nerves when needed. The touchpoint wristbands are also handy for that because if I have a day where I’m visited by uninvited flashbacks I can wear them and take 10 minutes out of my day to calm myself and make the emotions less heavy. I’m taking a break for now but it’s a reassurance to know that I can also return to sessions with Danielle if things get too difficult again. But for now, I can breathe again and I’m not spending my days reliving my trauma and that’s a result I’ll treasure every day.

Living in a post-Covid world is a whirlwind and we could all use some assistance so an experienced, respectful, attentive, resolute and caring therapist such as Danielle Jacobs is called for. Ms. Jacobs has used guided imagery, breathing techniques, relaxed states, and other skills to improve my mental health. Over the months I have been working with her, she has helped me immensely with the growth of my business and has offered sound advice on how to handle harrowing experiences as well as ways to overcome limiting self-beliefs and negative thought-patterns. Ms. Jacobs has also utilized hypnotherapy, which is not the dark arts of magic, but rather a closed-eye process in which she guides me through the wonderful realm of self-compassion, self-assurance and inner-tranquility. I have found it very therapeutic in perplexing times. Positive Change Therapy is highly beneficial, and I would recommend Ms. Jacobs for counseling. She assists with Emotional Support Animal registration too which enabled me to fly half-way across the globe with my dog under my seat.

Ms. Jacobs is a compassionate (hypno)therapist. She kept me focused on the topic when my urge was to escape difficult feelings. She does this in her own friendly, kind and loving way, without being pushy. I felt like she took me under her wings like a mother swan does with her babies, and it made me feel safe and protected. In hypnotherapy, I felt that she gave me the freedom to follow my internal process from the beginning to the end without unnecessary interruptions. Even when I saw myself in a different dimension that I could not understand at first, Ms. Jacobs encouraged me to explore without questioning my experience. I felt a deeper understanding of myself and the reason I came to see her. I felt tired, but peaceful and more confident inside. I would highly recommend Ms. Jacobs for people who are willing to go to the next level of healing and personal growth.

Danielle Jacobs helped us talk to our daughter about our divorce, understand the child’s perspective and how we can reassure her. She also helped my daughter be more calm and confident and express her emotions in better ways. After the therapy she was a happier child and slept better.

Danielle Jacobs is a compassionate, caring and trustworthy therapist. She helped me take my dog with me in the plane which made me feel comforted while being away from home. Thanks to her, the airline waived the extra fee because I could show them my ESA letter.
