In preparation for a pretty major jaw surgery, I turned to David for some assistance with my journey. I had one group of folks who were my typical medical team(dentist, orthodontist and oral surgeon) and another group who I viewed as my secret weapons(naturopath, astrologer and hypnotherapist). I had my surgery on August 20th. There were some unexpected events and the 2.5 hour surgery took nearly 6. When I came to in my room later and met my nurse, I immediately struck up conversation and asked if I could be led to the bathroom. I continued to amaze the nurses throughout the night, eating and drinking and even walking around the hall. I got released the next morning and had almost no swelling while most people look like they have baseketballs on their heads. I am only 5 days out from the surgery and have regained nearly all of the surface feeling, while most patients remain numb for weeks or months. I came off the narcotics quickly– and have been able to manage my pain using only Advil. I worked with David for pre-surgery hypnotherapy and also listened to his pre surgery mp3 tracks each night before bed. As soon as I had enough sense, I requested my phone in the hospital and listened to his post-surgery tracks. About an hour later, the nurses took me OFF the oxygen bc my respirations were perfect on room air. I would highly suggest to anyone who is having any medical procedure call David up and discuss how you could work together. I definitely knew that my «secret weapons» were responsible for the swiftness of my recovery. I had a very gifted surgeon, yes, but even HE was shocked when he saw me at his office a few days later. I did a lot of research on my surgery before I started and I felt empowered by David to own possession of my body during the surgery. I knew my bleeding would be minimal. I knew my immune system would take care of me. I knew that I would regain my energy quickly and easily. I know that he’s had great success with hypnobirthing, and I now know first hand that he has great results with surgical procedures and healing as well! Definitely recommend him 5 full stars.
