Introduction: I have worked with thousands of clients and workshop students from around the world, and have been in full time clinical practice for more than 20 years. My exclusive process called Synthesis, which works on both conscious and subconscious levels, helps my clients achieve their goals very quickly. We are all naturally resistant to change, even when we know it is something that will be very good for us and something that we want. I help my clients and students overcome that resistance very quickly, often in half the number of sessions it might take using hypnotherapy alone. We're all busy so the quicker we can help you think, feel and act the way you wish, the sooner you can enjoy being A Better You! Rule #1 is Life is Supposed to be Fun! RATED BEST IN L.A. BY THUMBTACK.COM I love to help my clients and students realize how powerful they really are, and how simple it can be to start living a happy, productive, abundant, joyful life-- which is our birthright. So many of us feel stuck, broken and hopeless, trapped in a state of unhappiness, low self esteem, and held back by limiting beliefs. I love, love to help make that all disappear, usually in a matter of weeks.

It has been almost a month since I went to Dr McGrail for help. I was a mess and didn’t know how to even begin healing. Dr McGrail spent time getting to know me. He explained things so clearly during our first session and I felt complete confidence in his ability to use hypnotherapy to alleviate anxiety. In just a few sessions the weight of my worries were lifted and I could breath again. Even now I am able to use the tools and resources he gave me to continue the process of growth in my life. Not only that, but he was also able to help me quit vaping, a habit I had picked up as a coping mechanism. I am forever grateful for the help Dr McGrail was able to provide and would highly recommend booking the free consultation even if you aren’t sure hypnotherapy is for you

Dr. John McGrail, through his clinical hypnosis techniques, has helped me make a six-month, aggressive chemotherapy program almost perfectly tolerable. Diagnosed with early-stage pancreatic cancer, my oncology doctor put me into a program that involves sitting every other week while machines pump cancer drugs into my system for around 4 hours. Then, as I leave the infusion center, the nurse connects a portable pump that drips even more drugs into my body for another 46 hours. Facing that and knowing how chemo can affect people with a whole range of symptoms (severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue/exhaustion), I chose Dr. McGrail to help me fortify and protect my body against those symptoms. That is exactly what he did over a course of just two hypnotic sessions. Before my chemo journey began, the oncology nurses told me that my attitude would play a big part in how I dealt with the bad effects chemo can bring. Thanks to Dr. McGrail, my attitude is winning the day at every encounter. I highly recommend him to anyone facing chemotherapy who seeks help with the process.

Dr. John is awesome! I came to him for issues with public speaking and we worked through that by going really deep into other aspects of my life and upbringing. His confidence and belief in his hypnosis methods were a huge draw. If you’re willing to do the work, put In The time, go deep into your feelings and subconscious, he can help change your life and outlook!
