Biography for Shirley Strauss Vinock, CHt

Make positive choices and create life change from the inside out! First you see it and then you do it! Imagine the possibilities. Make life choices to change habits. Stop smoking, release unwanted cravings and anxiety for weight or stress management, improve your work, home life, healthy habits and sleep or sports performance.

Shirley believes we have the capacity to make positive life choices to improve our daily lives. How good it is to have the freedom to bring balance, relaxation and harmony back. Our unique personalities and choices result in an internal script. Sometimes our automatic responses are not exactly what we desire.

Good news! You have the capacity to change it. Shirley guides your journey as you bring forward the creative potential and inner strength from deep within your subconscious, opening space for healthier habits, thoughts and relationships. Relax, release anxiety and increase motivation with focus on achievement. Release procrastination and overwhelm through self-hypnosis and focus in individual or group sessions available in your office or by phone.

It is my pleasure and passion to help others fulfill their goals working together to create success, happiness and prosperity in all areas of life. International phone, group or individual sessions and training available. Visit one of my West San Fernando Valley offices or call to schedule a relaxed session of hypnosis by phone. Hypnosis and therapeutic imagery is delivered by voice with your eyes closed to work just as effectively by phone as in person. Many find hypnosis by phone, in the privacy and comfort of your own surroundings, to be even more powerful and pleasurable.

You may also order a full session personal self-help SmartPhone App, CD or MP3.

Experience

Shirley was not always a Hypnotherapist. Now, she incorporates knowledge from her extensive training into your successful sessions. In her twenties, she first joined Toastmasters to overcome shyness in public speaking. Then on to a 25 year career, incorporating skills learned during her extensive executive management career as a Fortune 500 National Title Insurance Executive Manager, Corporate Training Director for a firm of 10,000 people and Human Resource Executive Team Leader with a national retailer. You, too, can achieve your goals while maintaining healthy balance.

This practical experience coupled with achievement of a MBA and BS in Management at traditional Colleges and Universities (while flying 20 days a month for over a decade) provide applicable pragmatic experience to guide achieving your goals. Extensive teaching experience in private industry as Chair of the Statewide CLTA Education Committee and Regional Training Director for seven states and as an instructor at a variety of venues (including the Hypnosis Motivation Institute) provides concrete results for success through awareness, stress reduction and focus.

Using a range of techniques to clarify communication, you learn how to make positive life choices to turn negatives into positives, enhance daily lives and discover your own inner wisdom. She is passionate in her belief that each of us has the ability to improve our lives and become our very best selves. She believes each individual should be treated with respect and without judgment. What you focus on you will achieve.

Changing careers did not mean Shirley left the knowledge and experience behind. Coming from a corporate background, Shirley understands how pervasive work and career related issues can affect people. She has walked in their shoes. Shirley guides and inspires an executive who develops a fear of public speaking, anxiety resulting in poor sleep, nail biting or weight gain, or fears of flying, driving on the freeway, a manager who does not see opportunities in a tough economy, a writer with writer's block, a student who is consumed with fear blocking successfully passing the bar or real estate exam.
