On Wednesday March 18, 2009, Ryerson's student newspaper The Eyeopener featured our hypnosis centre in their feature story on hypnotherapy:

Will Lam was in a rut and needed to turn his life around. His marks were down and he couldn't quit smoking. So, two years ago, the part-time accounting student decided to try hypnotherapy.

"I was sick of not getting a lot out of life, mediocre results," Lam said. "At that point in time, I was willing to try everything and anything. I just decided to give it a chance."

And the results were outstanding. Lam gave up cigarettes and all of his marks improved by at least one full grade per class.

"With respect to change, it's sort of like replacing a broken record and getting a new one that works," he said.

Hypnotherapy can help people lose weight, reduce pain and overcome phobias, but it can also help some become better students — especially if they have treatment now while they're still young.

Luke Chao, founder of The Morpheus Clinic, where Lam was treated, said about five per cent of his clients have been students, from high school to university age.
