About Dr. Funda Kahn
Thank you for visiting my website. Helping people is a very personal thing for me and I'd love to work with you or a loved one.
After being an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon for years, I saw a real need to help people with high levels of anxiety both before and after surgery.
I found, more and more, that a number of patients have a real fear of surgery. We would sedate a patient for a procedure and he/she would literally start gagging and/or convulsing in the chair for no other reason than extreme anxiety. I knew there had to be a better way of helping these patients adjust.
This desire to help opened my eyes to the therapeutic effectiveness of hypnosis. While my initial interest was related to helping patients with anxiety and pain management, I found that, by making suggestions to the subconscious mind, the roadblocks to overcoming many challenges in life can be overcome.
Through hypnosis and EFT (emotional freedom techniques), I've been able to help many people break through their fears, apprehensions, and anxieties. It's truly amazing to watch someone quit smoking after 30 years, finally lose weight and get healthy, or find the self-confidence to achieve personal and financial success.
Our time together is only the beginning of your success. I also teach you self-hypnosis and EFT so you can maintain your gains independently.
While the results you experience with hypnosis and EFT may feel magical, this is not magic. These are proven techniques that have helped tens of thousands of people worldwide.
