About Positive Changes Hypnosis and Coaching

Positive Changes Etobicoke has been a successful behaviour modification centre serving our community for 19 years. We use powerful personal coaching backed up by hypnosis to help you stop smoking, lose weight, manage pain, reduce stress and anxiety, accelerate learning, improve sports performance, improve business performance and much more. The Positive Changes concept was founded by Patrick K. Porter, PhD, in 1987.

Dr. Bronwen Gates and Terry J. Hodgkinson at Positive Changes Etobicoke have been active in the community successfully helping clients accomplish specific behaviour and lifestyle changes they desire. At Positive Changes, we ensure your results with our stay with it policy. We stay with you until you achieve the results you want to see. Positive Changes uses this stay with it method so you can be assured of having a comprehensive program of support designed with your lasting results in mind.

Our Mission

At Positive Changes, our mission is to create lasting positive change, in every human life, one client at a time. We chose that mission because we believe so strongly in the work we do and in the ability of hypnosis and personal coaching to empower people to change their lives for the better.

Hypnosis Today

Our Office in Etobicoke

Hypnosis is possibly as old as mankind. The old myths and misconceptions about hypnosis have given way to proven, scientifically-sound applications. Today the ethical use of hypnosis is seen in a variety of fields, including medicine, dentistry, law enforcement, professional sports, and education. The American Medical Association approved hypnosis in 1958, calling it a viable and beneficial health alternative. Since then thousands of people have benefited from its use.

Most people have limited understanding of the positive results that can be achieved in a professionally controlled hypnosis session. We believe hypnosis can benefit almost every individual who wishes to lose weight, stop smoking, gain confidence, or make any other positive behavior change. Before we can reach our professional goals, we must first be successful in assisting you attain your goals. We give you our personal promise that your needs, goals and desires will always be our top priority.
