Client success stories

"On recommendation, I came to Sara. My daughter was supposed to get an impression, and after the intense first phone contact, she was already very enthusiastic. The foundation that was built there became the basis for the therapy. For me, the most important thing: My daughter feels comfortable, taken seriously, understood, and supported. I am very glad to have met Sara." (Anne)


"We are incredibly grateful for the support Sara has given our daughter and us as a family. Sara radiated warmth and professionalism, immediately creating a trustworthy atmosphere in which our daughter felt comfortable. We especially liked her dog, who, with his calm nature, contributed to the relaxation. Through the compassionate hypnotherapy, we were able to see great progress. The practice is inviting and peaceful – we felt well taken care of all around. Highly recommended!" (Rabea)
