Real people. Real shifts.

“My session with Ugo was awesome! He has the ability to be very present and focused with his clients, while offering a space of deep listening. Ugo was professional, compassionate and patient as he guided me to some inner answers through skilled coaching, followed by hypnotherapy. Our session went so much deeper than I had imagined, and Ugo provided the perfect combination of guidance while gently allowing me to uncover information and to access my own inner resources. This process was very empowering! In addition, he has incredible skills as a hypnotherapist and I was able to easily go into a deeply relaxed trance state. The most incredible part of it all is that Ugo helped me to clarify in a specific way, my life purpose; which has generated an inner excitement for my work that continues to grow! Oh yeah ~ and since the session, some anxieties and concerns that I had been carrying around with me, seem to have simply disappeared!!”

— Alesia R.

“I sought out Ugo Tsalapatanis and Pacific Hypnosis for spiritual assistance. Specifically, to help move past limitations and feelings of inadequacies related to prior Big T traumas. I wanted to grow in knowing self, by understanding the nature of self. I can tell you we are accomplishing this.

Since starting, my meditation practice has grown and I’m feeling calm and connected spiritually in a way I have never felt before. With Ugo’s help, I’m able to move through stress successfully and peaceful.

I would highly recommend Ugo to anyone that feels lost, stuck in life or troubled by daily life stressors. No need is too great for Ugo’s tranquil demeanor and complete acceptance of what is.”

— Betsy P.

“Ugo is a fantastic hypnotherapist. Over the last few weeks of sessions, I’ve come to see him as a sort of Lifecoach. He’s very talented in his art, and knows how to tune a person to the right frequency. He has helped me tremendously with my anxiety and self-esteem issues by helping me replace my past conditioning with an updated set of beliefs. He’s helped me correlate feelings and events to desirable outcomes and has helped me out of my mind block, and limiting beliefs. He’s a wonderful coach, hypnotherapist, and overall a really good person. I’d highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a way out of a rut, or just in general for the improvement of quality of life.”

— Rebecca D.

“I worked with Ugo for 12 weekly sessions focused on confidence, stress management, and social ease — things like being more engaging in conversations, remembering names, and letting go of worry about judgment. Ugo brings real skill and genuine care to his hypnotherapy work; sessions felt purposeful, and he tailored the approach as we went rather than following a generic script.

The results have been noticeable, not just to me but to people close to me — my wife has commented on the difference in how I carry myself day to day. If you’re looking for a coach who combines expertise with a good ear, I highly recommend Ugo.”

— J R

“I can’t thank Ugo enough for the amazing work he did for my family. I had spent a lot of money on traditional cognitive therapy for sports performance anxiety and it wasn’t helping hardly at all. I thought the only thing to do was quit. But after just a few sessions with Ugo I was witness to a total transformation. I saw confidence growing and a renewed enjoyment of competition. This was my first experience with hypnosis and I’m a true believer that if it works for this it will work with anything you want to accomplish.”

— Andrew A.

“I was dubious about hypnotherapy but desperate. I was about to have a traumatic family visit and needed to have emotional distance. Ugo helped me create a loving boundary which made for a much more peaceful trip. I was also seeing a therapist and the two combined gave me the insight and compassion to be loving and present without bitterness, anger and depression. You are awake and aware the whole time, but the imagery created is very powerful and stayed with me. It worked! I’m so grateful. Don’t dismiss this treatment, it’s holistic and compatible with all therapies.”

— Erin M.

“I have been to traditional talk therapy on and off over the years so I am in tune with why I feel and act in certain ways but still struggled with taking action to continue to change. I wanted to try something different and after some research decided to try hypnotherapy. I am so glad I did and can’t say enough good things about my experience with Ugo. Ugo was able to help me reframe my thoughts and focus on the key behaviors and thoughts behind them that I wanted to change. I saw Ugo for 6 sessions and feel much lighter and have a new viewpoint which is helping me relook at and react differently to my circumstances. As a result, I truly feel stronger and more confident.”

— Susan M.

“I’ve worked with many practitioners over the years, therapists, teachers, coaches and none stand out the way Ugo does. I’ve been seeing him for a couple of months now, and every session leaves a real impact.

He has a genuine passion for life that you can feel immediately. It creates a space where you’re encouraged to explore parts of yourself you might normally avoid, but in a way that feels exciting rather than intimidating.

I genuinely look forward to every session. If you’re on the fence about booking a session with him, don’t be. You won’t regret it.”

— Ryland S.

“I am incredibly grateful for the support I’ve received from Ugo. He has a fantastic energy that makes each session feel welcoming and safe. His ability to explain complex concepts in a way that makes sense has truly helped me understand my thoughts and feelings better.

Through our work together, I’ve been able to overcome mental blocks, boost my confidence, and address codependency issues that have held me back. His unique perspective has provided me with valuable insights that I carry with me in my daily life.”

— Shantal T.

“I’ve tried hypnosis for a few things over the years with mostly good results, so I can compare a few hypnotists I’ve worked with. Ugo is top notch. You’ll have to meet him to find out what I mean, but be ready to learn about yourself. When I leave Ugo’s office, I always feel supercharged and ready to push forward to meet my goals. If you have never tried hypnosis, Ugo is a great person to start with.”

— Wade G.

“Ugo’s skills in hypnotherapy were nothing short of amazing. Not only does he have a great care for humanity, he spends time on explaining topics for your better understanding so that your greater self can be internally guided. He has a great advocacy for self love and empowerment. He will make sure to tackle internal barriers that are holding you back from love and greatness.”

— Natalia S.

“I was struggling to take new risks and battled with self image / self confidence issues after a past failed business. Ugo did a fantastic job in guiding me through and breaking the patterns that were holding me back. I felt the results immediately but they also continue to take effect long after the sessions. He was also very kind, compassionate and non judgemental.”

— Romica D.

“Ugo is very knowledgeable and has helped with improving my state of mind. I am a business owner and Ugo has helped me grow my business by guiding me every step of the way. My beliefs, lifestyle and overall health has drastically improved due to Ugo guiding me.

I don’t know what path I would have taken if I had not contacted Ugo. My business and mindset keeps growing, and I feel abundant.”

— H S.

“Ugo is a fantastic therapist and a great human being. He helped me tremendously in letting go of the past and becoming at peace with myself. Working with him has allowed me to find ways to deal with sadness, family sickness, and losing confidence (not feeling enough). He helped me tap into the best version of myself and find the light within. I will always be thankful to him.”

— Ali A.

“I’d like to thank Ugo for helping me calm my mind and to instill confidence in me. The 5 sessions has helped me in my life and I am grateful for it. These sessions will also help you visualize what you want for the future. I would recommend Pacific Hypnosis to anyone that needs help with any sort of issue they may have.”

— Alex J.

“I got referred by my girlfriend to talk with Ugo and I’m glad I did! I’ve been attending Ugo’s sessions for a few months now, and it’s made a huge difference in my life. Ugo is compassionate and insightful, helping me navigate my challenges with clarity and confidence. I highly recommend Ugo to anyone seeking personal growth and emotional well-being!”

— Fabian R.

“I’ve seen Ugo twice … both amazing experiences. I totally recommend him. I left with more understanding and joy. After each session, I purposely became aware of my life over the next few days, realizing how much his multi levelled expertise benefitted me.”

— Patricia W.

“Ugo is truly amazing! He is warm, loving and truly a master of his craft. If you are looking to get beyond any stuck areas in your life than I highly recommend working with Ugo. He is a true healer and powerful hypnotherapist.”

— Dustin W.

“Ugo helped me to overcome many challenges. He has guided and taught me how to manifest situations and outcomes of my own life which has been a remarkable process. It is difficult to explain just how effective hypnotherapy has been for me. Like opening up the maintenance bay of your mind, replacing and rewiring components, and closing it back up. It is therapy in high-speed mode! I have to highlight how Ugo strives to really understand your situation and your concerns. It is never a rushed process, and you are very much an active participant throughout the session. He has a way of asking the right questions to get to the core of the issue, even if you did not realize it yourself. All of my sessions have been via webcam which is convenient and effective for me as I am always on the move.”

— Connor H.

“I recently saw Ugo for 3 sessions to help me quit smoking once and for all. I had been smoking on and off for many years and was just sick and tired of it! I will say that I didn’t really expect the results to be as fast nor as good as they were, but to my delight, from the first session I had already become a non-smoker! The next two sessions just built upon the first and actually went deeper than I ever imagined and actually made it clear to me and addressed the reasons I began smoking in the first place.”

— Marlena H.

“Incredible experience, I cannot fully explain how precisely it has helped, but after 3 sessions with Ugo many of the negative self perceptions I held of myself associated with poor health decisions have all but been resolved. I admit it’s a bizarre experience and I held a lot of skepticism of hypnotherapy being as I work in the field of evidence based behavior therapies myself. However, though the changes were subtle and not obvious at first, the scrambled thoughts in my head sort of “clicked” after a few weeks, and ever since then I have felt happier and more at ease with the challenges and self criticism I have held tightly on to regarding my identity. Definitely recommend at least trying it out.”

— Tyler W.

“I absolutely recommend Ugo for Hypnotherapy. I’ve been reading and listening to personal development material for over a decade and it’s made an incredible impact on my life. However, after working with Hypnosis, I saw quicker changes and improvements than I had ever seen.

Instead of working on our issues on an intellectual level, hypnosis goes deep into your subconscious and emotions and makes deeper and quicker changes.

Understand that you are never out of control with hypnotherapy. You are always fully aware of what’s going on, but you are in a deeper relaxed state while working through your issues with exercises and guidance.”

— Kevin L.

“In every session with Ugo, I am met with straight truth and wisdom. He cuts through the “fluff” to help me see what really matters vs living in my mind. His calm gentle nature invites me to share anything and everything I need to bring to light… to be an open book so that we may get to the crux of the matter. Going deeper to work on a subconscious level, bolsters and fortifies all that we work on in our discussions.

His ability as a therapist is only surpassed by his desire to help people.”

— Ka’imi K.

“Ugo is uniquely gifted at the work he does. I first went to his office years ago on a referral from my aunt whose son had a great experience and outcome with the hypnosis therapy. Ugo was able to help me with issues that had been holding me back for years. I’ve been a patient for years sometimes more often than others depending what is happening in my life. The hypnosis has ALWAYS helped. Ugo is a kind, professional, straightforward good person.”

— Felecia S.

“Ugo, thank you for opening my eyes to living in the present. You are an exceptional teacher who I’d recommend to anyone wishing to view themselves in a more positive way. The changes I experienced moved me away from a false self thinking that I’ve let limit my joy. You helped me break a cycle. You proved to me we can enjoy life more fully with new understandings and gave me tools to build on the progress I’ve made. I am indebted.”

— Charley M.

“I recently had my first experience with Ugo the other day to try and work on some deep issues I’ve had to deal with for awhile. I was nervous at first, however he explained everything to me and made me feel very comfortable with starting. After the hypnotherapy I feel much better about the issues I was having and have never been happier.”

— Kane H.

“Ugo was great. He helped me feel more at peace with moving out of addictive behaviors. First session is longer and he works on how you can move towards seeing yourself the way you want to be. Found it to be much more effective than a much longer time in traditional talk therapy. The sense of relaxation you achieve in a session is amazing.”

— Brian W.

“I can’t adequately explain the value of what Ugo provides, but I’ll try since this is a review. He has provided a safe environment and interaction to find and integrate aspects of myself that I couldn’t quite reach on my own. His open warm professionalism facilitates my being able to express, inwardly and outwardly, complex nonverbal feelings and images. I highly recommend his services. In fact I’ve already sent my friends his way.”

— David K.

“I was drinking 6-8 sodas a day for years and after just one wonderful session with Ugo, I have not had a single soda in six weeks. The freedom this has given me is incredible, not to mention so great for my health. I just returned from my first family vacation that wasn’t overshadowed by where I would get my next soda. I can’t thank you enough, Ugo! So happy!”

— Alicia C.

“I have experienced Ugo only in 2 meet-up meetings. I will tell you in those 2 meetings I watched him assist participants get to their core belief about themselves in under 10 minutes, I was amazed. I look forward to working with him professionally.”

— Ginny L.

“Ugo has an outstanding demeanor and level of emotional comprehension.

He has a refined ability to help individuals explore the true capacity of their own thoughts and feelings, pushing them to new boundaries instead of automatically reacting to past memories or triggers. He is professional and caring in his practice, a service I utilize and recommend.”

— John J.

“Ugo made me immediately feel comfortable and relaxed in an experience that at first didn’t seem familiar. He is not only skilled at what he does, but also gives great advice and helpful tools for life. He is professional yet personable and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to explore hypnotherapy!”

— Parvane B.

“I worked with Ugo for about 5 weeks but I uncovered some of my past passion for life in the first session. He is a gifted hypnotist and caring soul. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is dealing with an issue in their life that they can’t seem to get over.”

— Matt B.

“My sessions with Ugo have been transformative. I have been able to unlock some things that have helped me tremendously. Each session feels like a journey where I come out a bit stronger while overcoming some issues from my past habits. I highly recommend Ugo for anyone looking for a powerful transformative experience.”

— Robert H.

“I concur 100% with all other 5 Star reviewers. Ugo is a marvelous, caring human being. With this quality at the forefront of every session his skills as counselor and hypnotherapist helped me to help myself. I highly recommend seeing Ugo for help with ANY concern you might have.”

— Beth R.

“This was my first time doing this type of therapy. I was a bit nervous but Ugo makes you feel so comfortable. He’s amazing at what he does. I would highly recommend him, no matter what you are trying to overcome he can help you!”

— Jaime O.

“Ugo is a very effective hypnotist. I’ve seen results from working with him on exercising regularly, and I feel tremendously energized from our sessions. Meeting virtually has not been a barrier at all. I really appreciate Ugo’s positivity and generosity of spirit!”

— Colleen L.

“With all the stuff going on personally, I really needed a mental shift in my motivation. During my session, Ugo helped me see a picture and a vision of what I am working towards. This has made a great impact for me.”

— Don L.
