The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with many customers appreciating the engaging and informative nature of the seminars, particularly praising the presenters' ability to connect and motivate participants. However, significant concerns arise regarding the perceived emphasis on selling supplements rather than delivering effective hypnosis, leading some to label the experience as a scam. Many attendees express skepticism about the effectiveness of the hypnosis itself, with reports of unmet expectations and a lack of a clear money-back guarantee. Overall, while there are positive experiences, the negative sentiments surrounding product transparency and effectiveness suggest room for improvement in customer trust and service clarity.

This was a seminar discussing how to lose weight using hypnosis and good eating habits. The speaker took the time to explain the physiology of weight loss, without getting too technical. He explained how hypnosis and the use of the "vitamins" he was selling would help people lose weight. He made it a point to say that the hypnosis and good eating habits would work WITHOUT the vitamins, but that the vitamins would accelerate the fat loss process. I decided to give his products a chance, so I purchased a 7 month supply. I'm hoping to be a success story.
Highly recommend mark patrick seminars I've attended the quit smoking seminar a year ago next week and couldn't be happier. I decided to try the weight loss hypnosis and again very happy
Don't waste your money, 100% scam? Weight loss or smoking cessation! Snake oil practice, been around for centuries!
I was considering paying for both the weight loss and smoking seminars. After reading hundreds of reviews, most of which were negative!
I just want to tell everyone that you can listen to several different hypnosis and meditation videos on YouTube for free, they have ones covering everything from weight loss, smoking, procrastination, anxiety and more. I personally listen to sleep hypnosis videos every night to help me fall asleep quickly.
I believe this product is a scam from everything I've read so far, I would rather listen to free videos every night to slowly change my mentally over time then lose $50-$500.
I'm a licensed mental health counselor and a professional presenter myself, and I attended the weight loss seminar. I was very impressed with the knowledge of the presenter, Jill, and how professional and responsible she was and what she provided to us. I never doubted her sincerity in trying to genuinely help us. I also work in a Whole Person Health Center dealing with both mental and physical issues and I could see that her understanding about the metabolism was accurate. The whole way the seminar was done—explaining to us in advance what was going to take place, clarifying the information behind the suggestion she was going to give us, making some space for asking individual questions during the break—was top notch. Anyone making the claim that this is all about pushing some supplements is mistaken. They make it very clear that the high quality supplements they're recommending will greatly accelerate weight loss but is not necessary, because the hypnotherapy itself will work reliably. I was terribly impressed by the whole program, which went faster than I expected and done very efficiently.
The hypnosis seminar to quit smoking was an intense experience. The hypnotist, Larry, didn't just make me want to quit; he made the very idea of smoking a horrible, disgusting thought. I walked out feeling highly encouraged that I could quit smoking through the power of suggestion. Definitely recommend this to anyone who wishes to be smoke-free!
Wow these reviews are awful. Uncomfortable seeing the bad reviews of the lack of money back Guarantee that is promised. My husband texted me from the stop smoking session he went to and said it was a sham supplement sales pitch. He stayed for the hypnosis but found the group session to be distracting. I'm going to the weight loss session tomorrow and interested.
I not only was not hypnotized but had checked my watch seconds before closing my eyes. When the supposed hypnosis was finished and we were told to open our eyes he asked people he asked all of us how long we thought we would eyes were closed and everyone replied 6-8 minutes. He then explained that you have no concept of time when under hypnosis, of course getting a shocked reaction from everyone when telling us it had been 20+ minutes. My watch confirmed it had actually been 9 minutes! Time it!
I loved Mark's approach and humor he brought to this weight loss seminar! He was quick witty, lots of examples of why we do what we do! Mark made it very easy to understand the process and what/how we need to look and revamp our thoughts on eating and weight loss! I did make a purchase but I don't have my receipt with me.
THIS IS A VITAMIN HARD SELL, BAIT AND SWITCH, MASQUERADING AS HYPNOSIS. REMINDS ME OF TIME SHARE THE SALESMAN, WITH A JEHOVAH WITNESS GANG UP STYLE PSY OP ON YOUR POCKET BQQK. BRING $400 FOR VITAMINS. MAYBE, THE VITAMINS HELP; BUT THE BAIT, & SWITCH TACTICS TURNED ME OFF. THE RADIO AD TOUTED MR PATRICK, BUT THESE SALES GOONS ARE JUST HIS TRAINED Monkees... USING HIS PSYCHOLOGY TACTICS. HE HAD A SEMINAR advertised ON THE DELMARVA peninsula ON THE SAME DAY, THEY HAD THIS IN ONE MINNESOTA. BETTER TO WATCH DR. BERG ON YOU TUBE.
I went in sooooo nervous. The instructor, Larry, immediately made all of us feel calmer and explained the process in detail. Dynamic presenter and I have lost 2 lbs in 2 days. My goal is 13 more and the habits shared and spoken of during hypnosis are definitely driving my behavior towards eating.
I'm a newbie to hypnosis and was a skeptic. We received some great tips for weight loss. It's only been a day and we'll see how it goes. But I can say one of the hypnotist suggestion was to chew food slowly. And I'll be a monkey's uncle I was eating and unconsciously was chewing my food slowly. I had to laugh to myself as I thought this wasn't going to work.
The seminar and Jill And Jeff are absolutely amazing! She really knows her stuff and was trained by Jeff who is one of the leading people in his field. I feel so confident that I will stay a lifelong non-smoker due to the Hypnosis and tools from today's seminar. I'm so grateful for this program. This program is well worth it, it seems. Very impressive.
Will see if the hypnosis was successful. Just went to seminar last night. Was given valuable information to help me lose weight.
Do not do it I don't even know if Mark Patrick exists he doesn't even show up there's some guy that can't talk and some lady that well she's just a riot let me tell you don't do it this is a scam and they say there's money back guarantee that's a lie too you don't get your money back after you get in there they want you to spend two three four hundred more dollars blah blah blah then they tell you no watches no cell phones because they want you to think you being hypnotized for 30 minutes instead she's just doing a relaxation thing for about 8 minutes anyway this is a scam it's like one of those late night infomercials and do not do it the only reason I gave a star is to give this review I can't believe I got scammed I'm smarter than that and I was so excited I really thought it was going to work this is a bunch of crap do not waste your money do not go do not do it and I don't even think Mark Patrick exists scam scam scam and they lie and you don't get your money back
I went for smoking and nothing. Heck the hypnosis didnt even work. The whole thing is to just sell supplements. The supplements, for all of them are over 500 dollars. Not hypnosis but hypno crap. Complete scam.
The presenter was great. Not sure the hypnosis did anything special. Bought the supplements because the presenter convinced me throughout the presentation that this was the best way to keep muscle cells wide open. When I came home I did some research on the Muscle Milk protein shake he highly recommended. Turns out Muscle Milk is chock full of many of the ingredients he lectured repeatedly about staying away from, especially artificial sweeteners. He didn't try to sell it to us, but it convinced me the presenter was either a fake or not knowledgeable. Time will tell….
Larry was excellent. Very motivating and personable. Very practical and helpful. Sound weightloss advice. Thank you.
Very educational for the 1st part of both seminars. Larry teaches new healthy routines and how to kick habits/addictions while adding some comedy and some history as to why we are the way we are via family traditions. 2nd part of the seminar is hypnosis which really helps destroy your cravings and replace them with healthier thought patterns. To add to both these helpful tools he also has very specific natural supplements designed for your triggers. This program only works if you are in the mindset to be serious about kicking your addictions and have tried your best to do so 1st. Also, if you feel that your 1st session with Larry didn't achieve your goals then you can come back anytime free of charge as long as you keep your receipts.
All in all, Larry is a great guy, funny and full of energy, very inviting. I wish you all the best of luck on your journey to kick your addictions!
Very professional. Larry was informative and careing. He did a very good job and did his very best to help everyone who attended. Products offered made sense.
