Shift Motivational Resources

Shift Motivational Resources is a health care company located in Los Angeles that specializes in smoking cessation therapy through hypnosis and cognitive coaching. The business operates under the name Shift Hypnosis and is led by certified clinical hypnotherapist Rita Black. They offer online sessions and serve clients in the Mid-Wilshire and Manhattan Beach areas of Los Angeles.

The company offers a unique blend of hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) to help clients shed limiting beliefs and patterns. Sessions typically last between 60 to 90 minutes and begin with 30 to 60 minutes of tactical coaching to explore triggers and unconscious beliefs before the hypnosis portion.

Clients can book appointments by calling the toll-free number 877-221-7251 or by filling out the contact form on their website. New customers can request a free phone consult to determine if the method is right for them, and they may receive a $50 discount with that month's smoking cessation special.

The business is located at 5455 Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles, CA 90036, and also serves clients in Manhattan Beach. They provide both in-person sessions in their offices and fully online sessions for those who prefer remote participation.

Rita Black, the founder and lead hypnotherapist, has nearly two decades of clinical experience and once struggled with weight management and smoking a pack-and-a-half a day herself. Her personal history with these habits informs her approach to helping others achieve similar results.

Reviewers on Trustburn consistently praise the company's website, maketheshiftnow.com, for providing valuable insights, practical tips, and well-crafted articles and videos on personal development. Many users describe the content as top-notch, insightful, and easy to understand.

The Trustburn rating is 4.6 out of 5 stars based on 10 reviews. The most recent reviews are from December 2023, with the oldest dating back to December 2022, showing a consistent stream of positive feedback over the last year.

The business offers a 'Refer a Friend' program and provides group rate discounts to encourage referrals and shared experiences among clients. They also offer a backup session if a client needs additional support after their initial two-hour appointment.

Clients report feeling relaxed, light, or experiencing an inexplicable change in their daily behaviors after a session. The process is described as safe, with the client remaining fully awake, aware, and in control throughout the entire experience.

The method is designed for all types of smokers, ranging from heavy pack-a-day smokers to secret or situational smokers, including moms, CEOs, and veterans. It aims to address the unconscious mind where habits are controlled, rather than just relying on conscious willpower.

The business explicitly states that results may vary and that hypnosis is not a guaranteed cure for everyone. They note that while virtually anyone with an IQ of at least 70 can be hypnotized, individual outcomes depend on various factors.

The website mentions that sessions start with tactical coaching to identify triggers and unconscious beliefs, followed by a short relaxing hypnosis session where suggestions are made to reprogram emotional patterns.

The company emphasizes that hypnosis is completely safe and that the client can terminate the session at any time. They describe the state as a relaxed mind state where the subconscious is able to receive new information to let go of unhealthy patterns.

The business provides a free phone consult to answer questions and walk potential clients through their process before booking. This initial step helps ensure that the hypnosis method is a good fit for the individual's specific needs and goals.
