HeartWise Hypnotherapy

Even from halfway across the world, Brian's  hypnosis work gave me something I needed for 6 years.

Our session ended up being one of the most powerful healing experiences I've ever had. I live in China, a long swim from San Diego, and did a remote hypnotherapy session. I wasn't sure how it would go from so far away, but wow!

I was carrying so much pain around losing my niece over 6 years ago. During the session, I spoke to her for the first time since she passed. I could feel her with me, peaceful, loving. She let me know she was okay. That she'd worked things out and was surrounded by love, and other loved ones. I didn't realize how much I needed to hear that.
Since then, I've felt like weights have been lifted. I'm more grateful and less caught in guilt or frustration. It didn't erase the loss, but it helped me transform it and finally breathe again.

HeartWise is where to go for healing grief. Thank you Brian for your calm presence and skillful guidance!

Brian helped me drop into a very deep state of relaxation and calmness during a very emotional time that was triggered by multiple situations. Brian gave me a couple of very effective tools to use when feeling overwhelmed or triggered as well as some non-violent communication tools. Very helpful overall!!! Brian is very gifted and holds a calm and safe environment for healing.

My name is Claudia Diaz-Acevedo, and I am writing to express my heartfelt recommendation for Brian Festa’s work. As an employee at the Opera, I recently went through a challenging time in my personal life that deeply affected my overall well-being and, consequently, my performance at work.
In my search for support and effective coping tools, I turned to Brian for hypnotherapy. The sessions with Brian were truly transformative for me. His compassionate guidance and expert care helped me navigate a very stressful period with renewed resilience and inner peace. With incredibly peaceful hypnosis techniques, I learned invaluable methods to relax even in the face of adversity, which helped me avoid rash decisions and foster a calm mindset during difficult moments.
I feel compelled to share my positive experience because Brian’s work was instrumental in helping me overcome that tough period and significantly improve my mental well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend HeartWise Hypnotherapy. Brian has created such a meaningful approach to stress relief. Thank you Brian, you are a blessing!

I wholeheartedly recommend Brian Festa and confidently attest to his profound ability to promote mental wellness and stress management. I had the opportunity to work with Brian while he was on staff with San Diego Opera.

I’ve recommended Brian to friends and family because I truly believe in his ability to inspire, educate, and support people on their wellness journeys. Brian is a certified and highly qualified hypnotherapist and health and wellness coach who connects deeply with individuals on a personal level.

I am writing to share how truly beneficial Brian Festa has been for me personally. He is a master hypnotist and his work in wellness, both mental and physical, has been priceless. Two key modalities he specializes in are hypnosis and breathing techniques, which have helped me tremendously.
I struggle with high anxiety, even if I don’t always show it. And sometimes I don’t breathe properly when it’s at its worst. When I see Brian, I get 30 minutes of peace that I never knew I needed. His hypnosis approach focuses on positivity and soundness of mind, which has been life-changing.
Since working with Brian, my sleep has improved dramatically. He also helped me develop a nutrition and exercise plan that fits my lifestyle. With better rest, I feel more productive and rejuvenated at work. I’ve started walking every day and am gradually increasing my distance. Thanks to Brian, I now have a clear goal to lose weight and improve my overall health - something I wouldn’t have pursued on my own.
Most importantly, Brian has taught me what true peace means. I’m learning to live in the moment, not dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. Without his guidance, I would have never experienced this calm state of mind after leaving his office.
HeartWise Hypnotherapy is invaluable, and I am so grateful that I and my colleagues at the San Diego Opera continue to benefit from his expert care.

In my first session with Brian I quit vaping. This was over 3 months ago! I’ve felt more grounded and even started trusting myself in ways I hadn’t before. We went so deep in every session… memories and emotions I’d been avoiding since childhood. Brian opened a space where I could finally face my past without shame or fear. I'm even inspired to take Brian's San Diego training to become a hypnotherapist because of how life-changing these sessions have been. I’m inspired to share this work and help others in the same way it’s helped me.I’ve carried around a lot of pain from family trauma, religious stuff that made me think poorly of myself and the weight of addiction in my family. Brian’s approach helped me feel safe, held, and even loved. Things I didn’t think were possible for me. The trauma or the nicotine cravings don’t control me anymore.This journey has been spiritual as much as it’s been physical. I’ve softened, and learned to see myself as enough. That feeling of peace, like floating in a safe, bright space, is what I now crave. I’m vape-free and moving forward with confidence. Every session has been a breakthrough and I’m not done yet. I’m finally stepping into a life where I can feel connected and shine my light. Heartwise Hypnotherapy is a gem of a practice and gave me the tools to rewrite my story and build a future I’m proud of. So grateful!
