Sha LeWilante

I first saw Sha in 2001 for problems I had within my work relationships. I felt I was being bullied in every job I got. I originally wanted hypnotherapy because I thought it would somehow make me gain control over how I felt, but also how others treated me. Sha suggested we start with some relaxation techniques to help me with anxiety and my nervousness. The first session relaxed me like I had never relaxed before. She made a CD for me to listen to at home. I was supposed to practice it daily, but I found myself listening to it sometimes 3 times a day, especially at night. It helped me so much. After 3 sessions, we started psychotherapy sessions, where we looked at my past and past behaviours, how I reacted to people. I discovered a lot that I had covered up for over 30 years. It was amazing, painful, enlightening and relieving. Sha helped me through this, because I can tell you, a lot of it was very personal, but I trusted her immediately. She has a naturally warm presence. But she is also quite business-like and professional.  Within only 2 months, my confidence had increased so much, that I actually realised that I was wasting my time in those jobs. I always wanted to get a degree, but was too afraid of failing. Well, I enrolled in a course, which shocked me. I studied for 4 years and got my degree. I would never in a  million years think I could do that in my 30’s. But I did it. And I know it was because I came to Sha for help. I would highly recommend her. I think what she has goes beyond any kind of training people get to do that job. She doesn’t bog you down with science. She gets to it, and once you get there, real change happens. I still listen to the tape Sha made for me. It’s so relaxing. Now that I’m in a new profession, I travel quite a bit and it really helps me to relax. I even give presentations now. I would never have stood in front of people before. I know how to handle bullies. Through therapy with Sha, one think I learned about myself, is that I don’t have to act just like the bully. I can be me. And I am enough. Sure, there will always be people who are jealous, envious and just plain mean & unhappy. But the difference is that now, I don’t let them spoil the great life I’ve created for myself, through hard work and change. I can honestly say I thank Sha LeWilante for that.
