Company Testimonials
"Patricia is a very skilled hypnotherapist. Unsure as to the results I'd get, I was quite pleased when it became clear that the sessions with Patricia were actually helping me to dismiss thoughts and feelings that had seemed to take up permanent residence. Patricia provided me with some unique techniques that I still practice in order to keep my focus where it needs to be. I highly recommend Patricia to anyone who wants to move past stubborn personal issues, fears, emotional prisons, and the like. As long as they participate with an open mind, they'll see the results." James Alberson, Sandler Training October 9, 2011

Dear Patricia,
Thank you for your help and support. Please feel free to publish my hearty, and heartfelt testimonial to your services. You have been instrumental to my progress and recovery from some traumatic events in my life.
After doing some soul-searching, I finally came to the conclusion that I needed some help. I searched the web, finding Patricia Vessey, and decided that she and her services were a possible answer to my needs. I was out of work, miserable, and going through a divorce. I felt almost as if I was slowly drowning. Upon my first meeting with Patricia, I felt as if I had come upon someone who would help me save myself. She has helped me do wonders. Within a month of sessions with Patricia, she had helped me regain my sense of self-worth, and gave me tools to work with. These tools enabled me to overcome my procrastination and hopelessness, and helped me to look forward to the rest of my life. I believe it is no coincidence that I found a good job (and a number of job offers) just before my last session with her. It's amazing what self-confidence and focus will do for a person. By myself, it was difficult. With her help, counsel, and methods, things have become better and do not seem so impossible. I look forward to a long and mutually rewarding relationship with Patricia, and will be always grateful for her help and support in good times and bad. Thanks, Patricia! Joe Z. November 23, 2011

"Patricia is passionate about her work and it shows. I have had numerous sessions with Patricia and each time I am amazed at what I get out of it. Her approach is creative and informative.

I'd give Patricia Eslava Vessey more than 5 stars if I could. Patricia has been my lifecoach for over 3 years now and I can truly say she has been a huge part of helping me discover who I am and how I want my life to unfold. She has been a blessing with her insight, wisdom, honesty, and encouragement. I started off working at a job I did not care much for (where Patricia was with me as I contemplated leaving unhappiness and taking a leap of faith in pursuit of the start of a dream) to doing things I love by helping others. Through it all Patricia has guided me on starting my own business/practice and continues to help me succeed. Besides being there from a business standpoint, she has helped me in all aspects of my life from relationships with family, friends, and colleagues, to even helping me with my fitness/weight-loss (release) goals. I would highly recommend Patricia and all of her various services to anyone who really wants to take the first step of unleashing their potential. Good luck on the journey- it would be awesome to have Patricia a part of it! Michaella M.Michaella M.Eve's Sanctuary Seattle, WA 2/6/2011

"Patricia brings a sincere compassion and intuitive knowledge for what I could do as her client. Her coaching provides a 'can do and can do it exceptionally' attitude. I rarely doubted that I could establish new routines and practices to support all that I wanted to do. And always with fun and lightness - it was never hard. I amazed myself weekly as I tried on new ways of doing things." Jean Strosinski, Constructive Choices Inc.

“When I first started work with Patricia, professional coaching to me was about developing potential and capabilities in my work. With her insight, experience and facilitation, the motivation to improve transformed all aspects of my life for the better as well. Her in-depth and insightful manner helped me make significant positive changes that were hard to imagine as even being possible at the beginning of the journey. I have moved toward working with difficulties rather than avoiding them, and the path forward is clear and bright. Heartfelt thanks to Patricia!” Lesli L.Cohan, BSN, RN

"I have known Patricia for almost ten years; three of those years, I reported directly to her while working as a Child Care Center Licensor for the Division of Child Care and Early Learning. She is a transformational leader who inspires those around her. As a supervisor for the Division and now as a professional coach, she has a way of instilling passion and energy into everything. It is her unswerving commitment as much as anything else that keeps people going. Patricia is people-oriented and believes that success comes first and last through deep and sustained commitment. As a professional coach, she continues to motivate and rally others by listening, comforting and enthusing." Carissa Doré, Therapist

Patricia, I just want to say thank you for the expert coaching you provided me during my transition from work to retirement. When I first talked with you I was feeling very uncertain and l anxious about my future and now, after the coaching sessions with you, I feel very satisfied with the decisions I have made. You helped me get in touch with my true feelings, which enabled me to take control of my life. You were a great sounding board for me and as a result I am enjoying my retirement today! Again, thanks. Jim, MSW, Trainer, Author, Adults Teaching Adults
************************************************************************
"I was struggling with the life decision about retirement, and Patricia's excellent listening skills helped me reach my decision. Patricia gave me totally focused time and had a knack for drawing out what was already inside but no one has taken the time to listen! Each hour I talked with Patricia was filled with revelations. She gives homework too! And she checks to see that you've done it. I could not recommend Patricia and her life coaching more highly!" Leslie Edwards-Hill, Trainer
************************************************************************
“Patricia’s life coaching has been a great impetus for growth and learning for me. I first connected up with her when I was looking at becoming a Life Coach myself. She stood beside me through the whole learning process, supporting me in accessing my own insight and bringing clarity to daily situations and ongoing experiences. She has helped me to see opportunity in the obstacles and to honor my values, as I live out my life day to day. Her coaching has propelled me into taking baby steps that are leaving big footprints, as I continue to learn to live in the moment, align my values with my choices and find the learning in every situation. I am very grateful for Patricia!” B.Swanson, Life Coach
************************************************************************
I thought I didn't need a life coach at all, but a few sessions with Patricia proved that I was totally wrong. She helped me to totally turn around my whole life in a really short time and in a very pleasant and painless way. First she helped me to change my personal life bad habits which lead to an improvement in my family relationships and my work. Then she helped me with my leadership issues and made it possible for me to solve in only half an hour what I had been fighting with for almost a year. Her ultimate accomplishment was to help me change from living a totally sedentary life with very bad eating habits to exercising every day, and eating healthy foods (and enjoying it). I could never pay for what Patricia has done for me, and she says all the time that I did all the work!!!" Adriana Cal www.redpointwebdesign.com.
************************************************************************
"Patricia has been coaching me for several months in my position as a supervisor with the State of Washington. Each week, she asks what I would like to work on and I tell her about the dilemma or problem I am facing. I appreciate the coaching because it allows me to step back from the crisis to reflect and consider alternative options. Patricia encourages me to commend my staff and to let them know that I value their work individually and as a team. I am learning:
1) To trust my own judgment.
2) That maturity isn’t necessarily connected to age
3) That it is better to say the hard stuff than to let it fester
4) To communicate
5) To remember that listening takes time
6) To deal with problems promptly"
M.G, DSHS Supervisor

“My life has completely changed for the better! Since the very first hypnosis session, I have been making healthy food choices, exercising 3-5 times/week, drinking a minimum of 8 cups of water a day. All this with very little effort on my part. I find myself just wanting to live this new way! The most significant change though has been my ability to stop –cold turkey- my habit /addiction of drinking Diet Pepsi. Since I don’t drink coffee or tea, the Diet Pepsi has been the vice that’s gotten me through the day for the last 30+ years! I have unsuccessfully been trying to stop for 20 years – with no luck until now!! I really have the ability to consistently make good, healthy choices with very little effort! It’s almost magic! I was really pleased with the results, especially with the ease of how almost effortless it is to stay on track! I recommend Patricia Eslava Vessey and the course because it really does work! Her knowledge base is outstanding. The class exercises were fun and really helped to see the points that Patricia was making. I’d recommend this course to anyone that wants to make healthy changes in their life. Thank you so much! You have really changed my life!”C. Jackson 2/12/10

Hi Patricia,
Thank you again for providing your valuable class to the Burien community. I want to report the incredible effect your class has had on me. Without even trying, I've already lost weight and have been inspired to work out on a regular basis. It feels so freeing!
Mind you, I had all but given up on achieving any weight loss before I signed up for your class. I went into the experience with an open mind, however I was skeptical that hypnosis would have any effect on me. Two days after our last class I awoke to an unusual feeling of not wanting to overeat food immediately. I thought I must be getting sick (seriously). Of course, I wasn't sick at all, simply not stuck on food! Well, three weeks later, I still have the same fresh attitude and it feels incredible. I now see food as nourishment and am compelled to eat healthy, nutritious meals. Desserts are no longer fascinating to me; I've maybe had 2 desserts since taking your class, instead of the usual 2 per day. I can now simply live life without feeling bad.
Your CD, which I listen to every night at bedtime, is very effective. Your soothing, confident voice is wonderful. Cheers to you, Patricia - you have a winning formula!” Best, Connie Pettit 2/12/10

“At 54 years of age, with a self image of being 'the pudgy one' from childhood, reinforced with years of 'emotional battering' from my father in a failed attempt to motivate me to be slim, I had a problem. My problem was visible as I carried my excess weight as an armor of protection against hurt. One thing that I knew I controlled for sure was the intake of 'comfort food'. Unfortunately, it seems that somewhere I lost control and reached a very uncomfortable weight at 5'8" and 264 pounds. It was uncomfortable mentally and physically.
Patricia helped me identify the potential source of my problem. In addressing the source I could forgive myself and forgive my father to let go of the past. Then, through hypnotherapy my lifetime of negative image and thoughts that controlled my actions have been replaced by a positive direction that has allowed me to lose 37 pounds in about 3 months with what seemed like 'no effort'. I find that I am making healthy selections for the type and amount of food I eat, along with enjoying the mental and physical benefits of walking as my choice of exercise.
I look forward to additional weight loss as I continue to learn how to approach every situation with my new and more positive approach to life. This includes my new view of food and exercise that contributes to my overall well being.
Thank you Patricia! I am very grateful for the direction you have provided for me to make a welcomed change.”L

"If you are feeling lost, incomplete, empty, etc. and are ready to get back on track but don't know how...I would suggest life coaching with Patricia Vessey. It is not your average counseling session of just having someone "hear" you. You actually are creating clarity yourself with a little tender and sometimes tough-love guidance from Patricia. I have worked with Patricia for some time now and since day one I have come one step closer of breaking me out of my old shell and constantly transforming into the person I knew was already there...I just needed a little help getting out and expressing myself. I would highly recommend to others who want to take a deeper look at their life and are ready to stop being mildly content with the usual and to start waking up to what they really want- to give Patricia a call."Michaella Misko, Licensed Massage Practitioner
