What medical experts say about this CD:
“These exercises were clearly thought out and are very professionally done. I believe they will be highly effective for individuals who have experience using relaxation and imagery exercises as well as for those for whom this will be a new experience. The music and voice were very soothing, and the imagery was very rich. The narration also reflected a good balance between being directive and allowing the individual to personalize the imagery. I will be happy to have such a good source to recommend to my patients”!
Dr. Becky O’Hare, Pediatric Psychology Post-Doctoral Fellow/ University of Massachusetts Medical School,Department of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatric

“I think the script is healthy, thoughtfully conceived and artfully produced. Ingrid Edstrom has gone to great lengths to find the balance between what is a positive expectation for positive outcomes and then have the potential for the CD to sound and be prescriptive.”
Dr.Daniel P. Kohen, MD, Director of Behavioral Pediatrics, Professor of Pediatrics, Family Practice and Community Health at The University of Minnesota Medical School, President of the American Academy of Clinical Hypnotherapy.

“I tried your Waves of Serenity CD for the first time this morning and it was great! Just left a little graffiti in the sand ”I was there”. Of course, it washed away so I will have to revisit the beach tomorrow. It was truly relaxing and I felt much calmer afterwards. This will help a lot of your clients”. Veronica T.
