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.

My experience with Dr. John was exceptional. He was professional and welcoming. Everything was explained perfectly to me. I came to him for hypnotherapy to quit smoking. It’s been 4 days and I have absolutely no desire to touch a cigarette! And that’s after smoking for 35 years!!! I can’t say enough good things about my experience!

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. McGrail was a true miracle worker for me. His attentive listening, thorough explanations of the process, and strategic planning were instrumental in helping me get back on track. Because of his expertise and dedication, I now have a renewed outlook on life. I believe that while Dr. McGrail’s guidance and support are invaluable, one must also be willing to put in the effort required for change. In my opinion, every penny spent on his services is well worth the investment. I highly recommend Dr. McGrail to anyone seeking professional assistance and guidance.

Dr. McGrail helped me live my best life. I started seeing him because I was suffering from severe anxiety and I wanted to see if hypnosis would help. Nothing else was helping, not exercise, not medication, and not cognitive behavioral therepy, not for me anyways. I was skeptical because I didn’t know much about hypnotherapy, but i was desperately searching for help and something in the universe called me to Dr. McGrail. When we first started, I had relentless anxious thoughts, PTSD, and generalized anxiety. Every moment of my life was anxious, even in my sleep with nightmares. I had suicidal thoughts and fantasies because i just couldn’t see a way out of my anxiety. I started making progress after the 1st session, but after the 4th session i was on my way to being a new person. I could relax again at home. I had moments of peace and calm that i hadn’t had in over two years. I could enjoy my time with friends and family and be present instead of being in my own thoughts. I could see a new life for myself. I regained my hope. Once I could see the possibility for peace inside myself, things started to change quickly. I more peace and happiness inside me than i could have imagined when i started. I continue to use what i have learned from him even a year later. I can truly say that i am back to being myself and i feel renewed. No longer weighed down and held back by my anxiety. I am more confident and moving my career forward. Even taking chances and opportunities that would have scared me away before. For as long as i can remember, whenever i had a wish to make (on a star or dandelion), i wished to be happy. Now i do not have to make that wish, i already have it The work that we did together saved my life. I am so grateful for Dr. McGrail and the transformation he guided me through.

Kirstin, thank you so much for the very kind words. It was truly a joy to work with you, and I am honored to have been able to guide you through your transition; even more delighted that you’re still using the tools and feeling empowered and happy. That’s the way life is supposed to work. You are a very special person and I wish you many, many years of abundance, joy, happiness and everything you dream of. Thanks again for taking the time to post this. Blessings, Dr. John
