Testimonials

EVELYN IS AMAZING. As a coach myself, I really value someone who can blend both empathy and strategy. Evelyn helped me get to the root of an emotional eating problem I had been struggling with for years, shift my high-achievement mindset to create more lifestyle balance, and get clear on what I actually value out of life. She is a wizard of transformation and knows exactly where to go and what to do to get you your breakthrough. NLP and hypnotherapy are the WAY TO GO if you’re looking for real transformation and Evelyn is a master at this craft! Highly highly recommend!!! Thank you Evelyn!! *

My experience with Evelyn was amazing. She helped me get rid of a fear of heights that I’d had for 30 years. Now I can fly! I recommend her to anyone. Thank you. *

I have been dealing with some chronic health issues for a few years now and was looking for some assistance and support in healing my body. I have come a long way in my healing journey but recently realized I had hit the wall and needed help to really get the results I was looking for. I asked Evelyn for her help because I have deep respect for her knowledge and talent as a coach and healer. Evelyn has a unique way of guiding her clients to truth which allows them to let go of the past and experience real healing. During our sessions she assisted me in uncovering the root cause of my problems so I could resolve the conflicts and let them go. At the end of our sessions I felt a great sense of relief. It’s hard to explain but I feel light, and I have a sense of clarity I haven’t felt before. The best part is that I feel well and as each day passes I feel stronger. I can’t thank Evelyn enough the life changing work we did together. I highly recommend Evelyn and I promise you won’t be disappointed. *

At 41, I made the decision to try hypnotherapy to help me change my life. I came to Evelyn for help with my eating habits and, as a result, my life changed drastically. I’m now the healthiest I’ve EVER been. I’ve lost 100 pounds and am in the best shape of my life. I went from not wanting to touch—let alone eat—vegetables to enjoying spinach and kale salads. It’s funny how I still get the shocked looks from family and friends who knew of my past eating habits. I tell everyone that hypnotherapy helped me change my life. Evelyn was a true blessing, and she helped me through a serious mental road block. I have now gone on to inspire others to make healthier lifestyle changes as well. I thank Evelyn from the bottom of my heart for being part of my journey. *

I started sessions with Evelyn after I had an emotional breakdown causing me to be hospitalized. From my very first session with Evelyn, I realized that though I had talked about things with previous therapists, I was never given any tools to truly let go. After two sessions with Evelyn, I fully let go and had no more emotional pain from many things I had since I was a child. I now look forward to the future and what I choose it to be. *

Evelyn is a great coach and hypnotherapist, she was very intuitive yet clear in her approach to help me find new perspectives, make changes and create breakthroughs for me. Evelyn’s humor and straight forwardness made it really easy for me to open up and feel comfortable. She’s a powerful hypnotist. Evelyn will help you relax and is always finding the right affirmations you need to hear in order to start changing. An additional plus is that I find her voice extremely soothing and reassuring. I highly recommend her! *

All my life I have been looking for a life coach that could really guide me through life challenges. I have met many; however, none was able to penetrate my subconscious mind so effectively. I went through all the abuse a child can go through, but always knew in my heart there is a way to get better and stop the suicidal thoughts and never give up. I had seen a psychologist for many years and never had a change in my behavior and never got better. The trauma always hunted me in one way or another. The relaxation that I felt the first session with Evelyn was a feeling that I can hardly put into words. The feeling of serenity, security, safety, and most importantly all is well and that I AM IN CHARGE OF LIFE. Each session with Evelyn was as if one chapter had been read, resolved and closed. She is absolutely the best. Very active listener, absolute observer, and the healthiest and most effective life coach I have ever worked with. My life has changed inside out. I am most grateful to the work of Evelyn Wang, who has been guiding me to better myself every day in every way. Once we commit to better ourselves, grow, and keep learning; and once we are ready to do the work, Hypnotherapy is the most effective way to start. *

Evelyn’s group coaching has been extremely impactful on my life, both professionally and personally. Over the course of 8 months, I saw myself transform immensely with the help of this group. The group allowed me to be in charge of my journey as it was up to me to decide what I was going to bring to the group each week and how I was going to show up. It taught me how to hold myself accountable, be vulnerable, ask for help, and gave me a sense of agency. I also enjoyed learning from my peers as they were often going through similar situations; helping them was similar to helping a client as your mentor observes. It is really an all around excellent environment for true growth … the type of growth that includes healing through reflecting, forgiveness, and acceptance. Thank you Evelyn and others who have been on this wild ride with me!!! *

I learned Time Line Therapy, NLP and Coaching with her more than 2 years ago. The program, the information and techniques I gathered were life changing for me and my family. After the certifications, I used the information to heal myself and start my practice. Now I’m part of her Mastermind for coaches, which has been so helpful in every way possible. We are a group of great people, we practice with each other and learn while in our group coaching sessions. We share our personal life sometimes and we talk about ways to help our clients. I have different types of clients in my practice, and sometimes I don’t know what is the best way to go. I ask Evelyn about ways to manage some issues, and she always finds the best technique to guide me towards a successful path. It has been so helpful and good for me to know that I always have her by my side; to guide me, refresh learnings from the past, or learn a new technique to practice. Overall, I feel safe knowing that I can always count on her in my personal life and to guide me with my clients. *

I took the Hypnosis Course with Jack and Evelyn in October. I absolutely loved it. I attended a different Hypnotherapy College before taking this course. This was a much better fit for me. The casual atmosphere versus the business casual dress code. The small class size vs. the masses. The 7 days vs. 12 months. The professional binders provided for us vs. online material that you print out yourself. I attended two lectures on The Milton Model at the other school and I left totally confused. After one lesson at Center for Advanced Life Skills, I totally understood it. The course is well thought out, modern, and presented in a logical sequence that is easy to follow. I truly appreciate the no-nonsense approach that Jack and Evelyn have. They don’t prolong the course with filler material. They teach you what hypnosis is, how to use various inductions, how to speak to the unconscious mind, and how to legally work with your clients, all with funny real-life stories. The days fly by as they keep the class interesting the entire way through. They are genuine and down-to-earth people. The environment is peaceful, relaxed, and cozy. I appreciated the aromatherapy and blankets. The class size is small and you get time to practice your skills in a piece by piece way with each lesson building upon the other. I enjoyed getting direct feedback with each skill practice session. We were a class of three so we took turns being the hypnotherapist and client while Jack and Evelyn observed and were there to help if anyone got stuck. The final day culminated with us taking a “client” through a complete session from start to finish. Everyone was able to do it with confidence. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in learning hypnosis either for personal use or for professional practice. *

Jack and Evelyn are the type of teachers that make learning actually fun…they’re like the teachers everyone wished they had in college. I spent two days with them doing the Quantum Touch course and I walked away feeling so happy and accomplished with the new knowledge I had acquired over the weekend! The class size is very intimate (they purposefully keep it small) to allow for more interactions and there isn’t a SINGLE dull moment during the entire class. I love that they know how to keep students engaged with lots of visuals, story-telling, practical applications, examples, etc. I just went for the Quantum Touch but will be back for the NLP and hypnosis! (I didn’t even know what those were before I took the class but honestly, if Jack and Evelyn can teach it as a life skill, it’s probably gonna be awesome.) *

I took Quantum Touch with Jack and Evelyn. This is one of the best trainings that I have ever been to (and trust me – I’ve been to a lot of different types of trainings/seminars over my 30 year + career). It takes a lot of luck to be able to find teachers who are not only skilled at what they do, but able to communicate their teachings in a fun, absorbable way. I didn’t plan on this but I’ll be coming back for the NLP and hypnotherapy trainings soon (doesn’t matter what they’re teaching because honestly, they’re THAT good). *

Wow! Evelyn and Jack are just freaking phenomenal!!! I took the NLP Practitioner/Coach and Time Line Therapy Practitioner trainings and feel like a completely new woman! Evelyn and Jack are amazing teachers and are so skilled, patient, and kind! They helped me break through years of pain and sadness and really connect with my inner truth (who is happy and bubbly!!!). Their style of teaching is wonderful. I felt like I was truly able to let go and be myself with them. I recommend them 100%!!! Thank you Evelyn and Jack for all of the breakthroughs, for holding space for me, and for allowing me to find the answers to the burning questions within myself. You are the best! *

Outstanding training. Evelyn and Jack each have the spirit of a true healer. Both are also engaging educators. Their hypnotherapy training cuts through the hype and bloat that I see with other trainings. The course focuses on what is truly important and does not waste time on voodoo. The hypnotic and therapeutic techniques taught were straight forward and effective. I say that with confidence because the students got a good deal of experience working with each other as live subjects during the course. *

I just finished the NLP and Time Line Therapy course and it was really amazing! This was by far one of the best trainings I’ve attended. I have a doctorate in Psychology and an Educational Therapy office and wanted to add NLP and Time Line Therapy to my practice. I am so happy that I chose this course with Jack and Evelyn! They offer so much excellent information and teach practical skills so that one can apply this knowledge to their own practice, or just use these skills in their everyday life. The both of them are so knowledgeable and do a great job at balancing each other in the instruction. I’m so happy I took this course and just signed up to take the hypnotherapy course with them as well. *

Thank you Evelyn and Jack for providing a fun and safe space to learn the fundamentals of hypnotherapy! I enjoyed the wealth of information shared specially the standards and best practices around business, ethics, legalities, workflow and technology. Most of all, as subject matter experts for over a decade, I value your mentorship and unique insights in the field. As a a result of taking your course, I am confident in my abilities to grow as a budding hypnotherapist. I am also excited to explore the resource list you provided. I look forward to taking your NLP course in the near future. *

I completed the NLP Practitioner training with Jack and Evelyn and I would give 6 stars if there was the opportunity! Amazing program, amazing teachers, and great environment. I’ll definitely recommend them. *

If you have any doubts on whether or not their Hypnotherapy training is enough to teach you hypnosis, allow them to dissolve and sign up for this course. I thoroughly enjoyed the training they offer. Jack and Evelyn, both former teachers at Hypnosis Motivation Institute, were wonderful teachers who created a comfortable learning environment. The course was recently revamped and, while I can’t speak on the previous version, the one that I just took was incredible at teaching multiple hypnotic methods and some Neuro Linguistic Programming fundamentals. Therefore, I’d recommend this course to anyone with little knowledge of hypnosis, those who already practice hypnosis, and those who’ve taken the course in the past. I’m very excited to take the NLP course next. *

Best training I have been to! Great support and kindness! Was amazed how much preparation was put into the trainings. So grateful I got to have the opportunity to participate. I am looking forward to more trainings in the future. *

I completed NLP training with Jack and Evelyn in April. This was the BEST experience ever! I searched high and low for coaching training and I’m so grateful I chose Center for Advanced Life Skills. The environment is very intimate and these two have the skills and professionalism that made it super-easy to absorb the information. Their guided, hand-on training takes you on a personal journey that evokes the ability to easily access all you learn once you leave the training. Alone, I had some great, life-changing experiences during class. Jack and Evelyn, through their teachings, helped me tremendously! I’m forever grateful for these two! My personal transformation truly placed these learnings at the fingertips of my subconscious mind and will help me better serve my own clients. I advise all to study here. Their teaching method meets the need of every learning style! You will not be disappointed! You will leave empowered, renewed, fearless and ready to be of service! I’m definitely going back for hypnotherapy training! *

The training offered by Jack and Evelyn was perfectly packaged. Small class, very interactive, lots of practice and a thorough education. What more could I ask for? I enjoyed this training and feel it well prepared me. *

I want to express my gratitude to both of you for your professionalism; and succinct, informative training. In my personal experience as a professional assisting others through the art of listening, intervening, educating and healing; I found that this training has been one that has impacted me the most—as well as a great tool to assist my patients in impacting their quality of life. I thought that the training was balanced in the sense of teamwork (both perspectives male/female) and in utilizing your personal experience and wealth of knowledge in hypnotherapy. Providing a brief history and implementing concepts—as well as hands-on training—was attuned to my style of learning. The information was not overwhelming, but digestible. I was able to follow easily and your availability to answer questions and clarify concepts was important for me. I would definitely come back if you offer a second level to this training. *

I did the training with Jack and Evelyn, and couldn’t have been happier. My main focus was to learn more about how we each develop our mindsets, and how I can greater influence my own, and I learned that, and so much more. Best part was how intimate the group was, which allowed for lots of questions and learning. Jack and Evelyn are totally available to make sure you get everything you want out of the training, and are amazing therapists / coaches — both to work with, and to learn from. I’m grateful for this experience. *

I completed the Hypnotherapist Certification Training in February 2016. Evelyn and Jack were amazing. They made the training fun, light-hearted, yet very rigorous. They created an effective learning environment. I would definitely take more trainings with them, and highly recommend their programs. *

I just completed hypnotherapy certification training with Jack and Evelyn and highly recommend it. I had previously tried to do some of this training online and that just didn’t work for me—this is something you need to learn and practice in person. Our training was not only VERY informative but also lots of fun! Jack and Evelyn keep on pace to make sure you get everything you need and they inject humor and compassion into the time too. They are both thoughtful, insightful and professional trainers with a lovely likability. I had previously taken the Quantum Touch training and have a feeling I’ll be back for NLP soon! *

Jack and Evelyn do a fantastic job of presenting a ton of material in a very understandable and digestible way. They have a real expert understanding of the material and are passionate in approach. I highly recommend the Hypnotherapist Certification Training course. *

Evelyn and Jack are amazing teachers. They are willing to go the extra mile in everything they do and always perform in the most professional way. The Hypnotherapy Certification training is very specific and right to the point. The methodology they use is based on theory and then a lot of practice which is what I liked the most. The fact that they have small groups is a perfect way to have a personalized learning experience. It not only provided me with the skills I was looking for, but also helped me heal some old stuff. The materials used and the place are a perfect combination for the class. This training is not only an intense and experiential way to learn hypnotherapy, but also a way to heal and transform for good the trainees life. I definitely have new life skills I will cherish for life. Highly recommended! *

I completed the hypnotherapy course with Jack and Evelyn, two very helpful and patient instructors. I learned so much from them and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Can’t wait to take more classes! *

I would recommend the Center for Advanced Life Skills to anyone interested in the disciplines of change work and healing. Evelyn and Jack are excellent trainers, the venue is kept nice and small (around 6 to 8 people) so that the trainers themselves can help out when you get get stuck on something. *

Thank you for the most incredible course in hypnotherapy last month. You both are so talented and I so appreciate your outlook on life. I wonder if you put a suggestion in our minds to love you forever? LOL, seems like it.

After many hours of research, I decided to go with the Center for Advanced Life Skills. My experience was excellent. My four classmates were and are wonderful people to work with. Jack and Evelyn were very professional, yet welcoming and most informative. All in all I would highly recommend this course, as I have done to my close friends. Thank you Jack and Evelyn. *

Extremely comfortable classroom mixed with very high-tech graphics combined with a very small class made for a perfect training intensive. 
Excited to add this fun and worthwhile practice, and I look forward to helping people on a deep level! I highly recommend this training method and people, a couple of nice hotels within walking distance too. *
