Biography for Marcy Lifavi, C.Ht., D.C., B.S.

Marcy Lifavi is sincere, compassionate, creative, and passionate about her practice. As a graduate from HMI with full honors, and a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic, she has chosen to focus on Hypnotherapy because she believes that all healing begins in the mind, heart and spirit, and there is a powerful mind/body connection.

Her life experiences have served her well in allowing wholeness and positive changes to occur in her clients, enabling them to access their own inner resources to achieve their goals and desired outcomes. Marcy helps them replace negative thinking and negative self-talk with a happy, positive outlook on life. "I am dedicated to offering a space that is secure, respectful, and non-judgmental, providing my clients with an environment of nurturing, self-empowerment, harmony and balance."

"Marcy Lifavi contacted me through a friend over the phone from [her home in] California to La Paz, Bolivia, South America, where I live. She did a hypnosis session with me for one hour and I was very pleased, since she helped me prepare for my chemotherapy treatment that I was about to begin. It went very well and I did receive great benefit from it. I cannot think of anything else that made me feel at ease. Marcy Lifavi is truly a professional that can easily perform her work either in her office or over the phone and in any situation; she is an excellent hypnotherapist."
Ana Isabel Garcia - Satisfied International Client

In her private practice one-on-one and over the phone, Marcy continually provides an atmosphere where her clients can discover a joy of life that allows them to thrive and excel at creating the life they want for themselves.
