“The results were noticeable even after the first session.”
“Great experience with Morgan! The session was relaxing, professional. I felt comfortable the entire time and the results were noticeable even after the first session. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make a positive change.”
“Immediately after Joe’s session, I was a non-smoker.”
“My name is Joel. I was a smoker for at least 40 years. I’m turning 49 this month. However, I started smoking when I was 16. I wanted to quit many times, didn’t have the willpower to make it past maybe a few weeks. I found Joe, however, this last summer, and became interested in hypnosis. My father had had it done many, many years ago, so I knew that it was possible for hypnosis to work for people and immediately after Joe’s session last Friday, I was a non-smoker immediately. It’s amazing. It’s very hard to explain how, but it worked and very happy with that. Thanks, Joe.”
“At 7:30 was my last cigarette.”
“First of all I have been a smoker for 35 years my health has been questionable at times because of my smoking I've tried patches gum the Chanticleer. the Wellbutrin I've tried them all nothing seem to work until I started reading about Hipnosis and Joe I did a lot of thinking read a lot of reviews and decided it was something to try Monday morning on Presidents' Day February 15 at 7:30 was my last cigarette my session started at eight and was over by 930 I have not picked up a cigarette sense I seem to be liking food a little more than normalBut if you truly want to quit smoking and truly tune in to what Joe's tells you and where he takes you on your path to quit smoking I recommend this 100%Thank you Joe”
“He gave us the tools that we needed to be non-smokers.”
“Hi, my name is Steve Hubbard. I’m 34 and I live in Bend, Oregon. I was hypnotized by Joe about a year and a half ago to quit smoking cigarettes as I started dialysis for the second time for my second kidney transplant. I really wanted to quit smoking cigarettes at the time and I also really needed to quit smoking cigarettes for my health. But Joe really gave me the tools over speakerphone, talking to myself and my girlfriend, Samantha. He gave us the tools that we needed to be non-smokers as soon as we were off the phone. It was really an easy process for me. I didn’t feel like I was out of my body or in a different place. I just felt like I was sitting at my kitchen table, listening to Joe talking on the phone. And literally though the change was night and day from having all the cravings, the stress, anger, the frustration to none of that and being free and clear for the rest of my life. So I really feel like he saved the two of us and really gave us a new chance at life without being so addicted to cigarettes. So thank you Joe for your help. We greatly appreciate it.”
“He helped me in reframing my way of thinking.”
“I recently worked with Morgan on some issues I have been dealing with at work. He helped me in reframing my way of thinking and other techniques to deal with the stressors at work and in my daily life. Overall it was a positive and actually fun experience and I left our sessions feeling optimistic.”
“Joe gave us a tool that changed our lives dramatically.”
“My name is Samantha Liesemeyer. I’m 26 years old and I live in Bend, Oregon. I was a smoker for 12 years, about a pack a day. My boyfriend has end stage renal disease and is on his second transplant and we had to quit. We really wanted to quit. And through the help of Joe, even through speakerphone, through the cell phone, we were able to both get hypnotic as we both were affected differently. Steve wasn’t, he didn’t feel really anything but he was so concentrated, he still got affected as I was pretty much drooling out of my mouth. And I was totally in a different world but it helps so much. Joe gave us a tool that changed our lives dramatically and I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for his help. Thank you.”
“Joe listens and caters to every individual’s needs.”
“Joe is an amazing guy! He listens and caters to every individual's needs and does only what is best for his clients.”
“The pattern has just changed and it just seems so easy now.”
“Hello, my name is Theresa Lazaravic and I recently had a hypnosis session with Joe. That was a really great experience for me, so I was previously having a bit of an addiction to Quest bars, which I know that that sounds like something really trivial, but it was something that was running a constant cycle in my mind and was just that same pattern that just any other addiction goes through and it was just something that was really kind of driving me crazy and something I wanted to change. So I had a session with Joe. It was simple, easy, we did it over Zoom. He basically just walked me through kind of sort of like a meditation. It was really relaxing. I wish I could actually do it every single day. It wasn’t any sort of crazy experience like I think some people expect and he just did such an amazing job and I was somewhat like not sure if it was actually going to work. You always have a little bit of skepticism, but it’s been about two months now and I still have not had one. I cannot believe how much I have just found it. Just the pattern has just changed and it just seems so easy now. Even if that craving comes up, it’s just an obvious choice to not have it. I don’t have that same feeling where you need to kind of fight it when you have something that you’re a little bit addicted to in the past now. It’s just so easy. So I’m super thankful for the experience. So thank you so much Joe.”
“Since then he has not smoked one cigarette.”
“I feel the urge to leave a review for Joe. I had finally convinced my husband to make an appointment with him. My dad became a non smoker thanks to Joe also, so he was highly recommended. But I have been begging my husband for 2 years to stop smoking and it’s been an ongoing process with him trying patches and saying he would quit and he just couldn’t do it. Two years of him "trying"! He had smoked a pack a day for the last ten years. He saw Joe 1 month ago today and since then he has not smoked ONE cigarette! Pure magic. My husband and I cannot be more thankful for this experience. I can’t believe hypnosis is not more widely used. It is so amazing. Thank you again, Joe.”
“The next morning when I woke up was even better.”
“Hi, my name’s Dave Helton. I’m a local architect here in California and I suffered what I can only describe as a nervous breakdown. And just sat on my couch for three days, shivering with a panic attack. I was lucky enough to find Joe Homs on the internet and came in and he has absolutely changed my life. I can’t recommend him to enough people. The day that I went through one session, I was completely different back to normal and then the next morning when I woke up was even better. I was better than normal and I can’t say enough or thank him enough for the changes that he’s made in not only my work life but my personal life and my life in general. I mean, I can’t tell enough people about this feeling of clarity that I have now and I will continue to tell everybody that will listen to please come see Joe Homs. Even if you don’t have a problem, it will help you tune in everything about you. Thanks for listening.”
“I literally walked into Joe’s office a smoker and left a non smoker.”
“I literally walked into Joe’s office a smoker and left a non smoker. After smoking a pack a day for 30 years I was unsure hypnosis would work, but it did. I have not had a cigarette in almost two months. Joe is amazing and I highly recommend him.”
“For the past three months, I have been way more focused.”
“Hi, I’m Paul Lemberg. I help people grow their businesses. I’m a business advisor. I raise capital. I buy and sell businesses. So I took Joe’s Superhuman Focus program and I was one of the beta guys. This is like two, two and a half, maybe even three months ago. And it was about two hours. He talked a lot and sometimes it was like, you know, we’re in this light hypnotic trance. But here’s what happened. I didn’t do anything that he said to do in the program. And yet all the subliminals kind of creeped their way in. The result is I have to tell you, for the past three months, I have been way more focused. Now I can’t put a number on it. And I can’t say I made this much more money, but actually it was about $100,000 extra. I don’t know where it came from. I can’t even say I did this and then that happened. But I got to attribute some of it to Joe’s program. So hey, Joe, thank you. And I want to do version 2.0.”
“I’ve been completely fearless.”
“In all seriousness, if you are dealing with a habit that you can't seem to get rid of, or if you have some sort of blockage with something (like me), Joe can help you - and often in just one session (as in my case). I had a huge wall up with learning Spanish. I just couldn't seem to get over that hump of fluency. It's been about a week and a half since my session and everyone (especially myself) has noticed a HUGE change in my speaking ability. It turns out I know WAY more than I thought I did, but I was so afraid that I was going to say something wrong that I didn't say anything at all. I've been completely fearless this last week and a half and I've broken through that wall that I had up. I can't explain how it works, I just know that it does.”
“I never thought I would say no to gummy worms.”
“With the end of the year coming, did you complete your New Year’s resolutions? Well, if not a local hypnotist claims that it’s not too late, he can actually hypnotize you into meeting your goals in just a few minutes. So CBS News 8’s Alicia Summers is live to show us if it actually works. Hey Alicia. Hey, yeah, we’re talking about, you know, losing weight, quitting smoking, whatever it may be, getting over your fear of heights. Joe Homs here is a hypnotherapist and he claims that you can rid all those problems in just a matter of minutes. So we’ve been putting him to the test with other things and we, for me personally, I want to rid gummies. So you know, alcoholics, right? I would say I’m a sugar-aholic. I eat sugar every day and I’ve always been wanting to get it out of my life once and for all. So Joe, how do we do this? And folks at home can actually pay close attention and you’ll never want gummies again, right? Is that the claim? That’s the claim. So this is going to be more specific to you. And if folks at home want to do this, they can certainly follow along. If it doesn’t quite work for them, they can learn a little bit more at our website. We’ll teach them the technique. They can do this for anything. So, you know, if you ever been to a restaurant where you had like a bad meal or something and you had just a terrible association with it, you’re just like, oh man, I would never eat that plate or never go to that restaurant again, right? We’re going to use a technique that’s very similar to get you to not like something that you know you like right now, but you know you shouldn’t have it, right? So for you, it’s going to be sugar. It’s going to be these gummies and we’re going to put that to the test right now, okay? So here’s the technique in a nutshell is we’re going to take some associations you have. So everyone has kind of a picture in their mind of like what sugar is for you. And for you, it’s like these, you know, these gummy worms, right? And we’re also going to have pictures of things we don’t like in our minds. So what I want you to do is imagine kind of that picture of like the gummies in your mind. And if it was like located in space, where would it be? Right over here. Just right over here, right? So it’s like kind of right in your face, right? Now, I’m sure there’s also something that, you know, maybe it’s a food that you don’t like you would never eat. And like look at her face, right? She’s like, oh man, there’s something, what is it? Sea urchin. Sea urchin. Never. Right? So sea urchin you never eat, right? It’s just something you don’t like nothing against sea urchin, but you know, it’s just like for you, you’re like, oh gosh, right? So if there was a picture in your mind of that, where would that be? In the distance. In the distance, kind of like right out here. Yeah. Great. Okay. So what I want you to do is take that picture of that sugar, that candy, that stuff that you, you like and you know you don’t want to have, right? And I want you to take that and I want you to move it down, that’s right, all the way to the picture of the sea urchin. Like the sea urchin is becoming part of that sugar, that gummy bears. And I don’t know if you know this, but some, literally some manufacturers use shellfish in the manufacture of the gelatin. So it’s just like sea urchin flavored gummy bears and stuff like that, right? And that look on your face, that’s the look that we’re looking for. Yeah. We’re looking for you to go ew, that’s gross, right? So I want you to, again, take that picture and move it, make it the same and then lock that association into place in your mind. Okay. And you’ve got that. I can actually little see the kind of the corners of your mouth. You’re just like, ooh, ooh, I would never have that, right? So let’s put that to the test, shall we? I have some, you know, lovely gummy worms here. Would you like one, right? No, no, no, no. Look at her face. Like, no, really like, you sure? It’s got some lovely sea urchin flavor in there. No, no, no. Really, right? You don’t want it. And this is the power of your unconscious mind. Now we’ve done this really quickly. Okay. And this is something that would be part of like a larger session or a weight loss kind of thing for lots of people and we can do all kinds of amazing things. But this is something someone at home can do very easily. I never thought I would say no to gummy worms. All right. So give the website. I hope this lasts for long term, but for folks who do want to try this themselves, give your website. Sure. If you want to learn more, you can go to OCHypno.com. Never thought that would happen. All right, Dan and Jean will send it back to you. Are you? Do you want some? It was it works because you’re calling me Dan now as something, right? She was like, I don’t call this morning. Well, Alicia, just to let you know. I’m a little taken back. No. Well, you know, actually, we have gummy worms all over the newsroom for Alicia when you get back. All right. Oh, great. I’m not going back. Take the rest of the day off. Okay. Thanks, Alicia. Bye. Bye.”
“I completed two 10-hour flights without the usual panic.”
“Just wanted to update my review since I have been on my flight. I completed 2 10 hour flights without the usual panic I had been having before when I got on a flight. I would recommend this treatment to anyone that needs to get over the fear of flying. I went to OCH for fear of flying. I have a big trip coming up in the Summer, with a 10 hour flight included, and like usual at the first thought of planning the trip I began to get extremely nervous to fly. I almost got to the point of saying I wouldn't go. I knew I needed to get over this anticipatory fear or I would be sick to my stomach for months I also wanted to be calm once I was on the plane. With one one hour session I have no more anxiety about the flight. I can't seem to think of the disaster scenarios I usually come up with when I think of flying. I have yet to fly but I assume I will be much less nervous. The process was quick and easy and put me at ease instantly. P.S. I am very much a skeptic usually but I gave up my ideas that it wouldn't work for me and that is why I believe it worked.”
“I have not had any urges to bite my nails.”
“I went in skeptical but didn't really know what else to do about my nail biting. I've been a nail biter for over 20 years and have tried multiple things to stop, which includes my parents doing what they could when I was young. At most, as far as I can remember, I've only been able to stop for 2 weeks and really struggled to get to that point. I went in to see Luke 4 weeks ago today, and I have not had any urges to bite my nails. Last week I clipped them for the first time. And as a bonus, my confidence level has gone up as well. Luke was great. It was like a miniature therapy session but with a quick solution to my problem. I totally recommend doing this if you have a subconscious problem you want to deal with.”
“It sparked notable change in my marriage, business and even weight loss.”
“To be completely honest, I came into my meeting with Luke with no expectations. I’ve experienced heavy trance hypnosis before for "fun" and was expecting a similar silly, goofy or at best uncomfortable meeting. I am excited to share that I had a truly life-shifting and life-changing experience through Luke’s coaching techniques! I went in to talk about something very superficial (weight loss) - and was hoping for a "quick fix" to lose the extra weight I’ve gained since I got married, but I wasn’t holding my breath.... Little did I know that we would delve into some of my deeper motivations and discover that I’ve been completely severed from my passions. Not only did Luke help me deeply reconnect to my greatest passions in life, but that connection has sparked notable change in my marriage, business and even...weight loss! Luke helped me tap into the joy and contentment I feel when I’m living my passions and that feeling has stayed with me ever since! I can’t thank him enough and I’ve been telling everyone I know about how incredible he is! If you’re stuck in any way, Luke can help you not only get un-stuck but help send you on a path toward your better, brighter and most fulfilled self.”

Common questions
The consultation is there to answer the practical questions before you book a paid hypnosis session.
You talk through the pattern, what you have tried, and whether hypnosis is a good fit. If it makes sense, you choose the right service path from there.
Yes. Consultations can start by phone or Zoom, and many hypnosis sessions can be handled online when that is the best fit.
It depends on the goal and the pattern. The consultation is where the session plan becomes specific instead of generic.
No. Sessions are focused, private, and collaborative. The work is about rehearsing a better automatic response.
