Wendy has a real gift for what she does. I've only had three sessions with her but have already had more breakthroughs than in all my therapy I've had in my entire life. She's kind, compassionate and intuitive. Definitely looking forward to more sessions and I'm so glad I found her!

Starting with the positive, Dr Hill provided me opportunity for deep regressive therapy. It was intense and I feel beneficial. Now for drawbacks, she spent a lot of our time pushing me to join her workshop and got angry when I declined. She pushed me repeatedly over many sessions to refer a family member and got angry when I declined. She charged me $400 for 2 hours which when making positive progress I could justify but between all the upselling, acting put out if there was background noise (during COVID when others are home and we're all trying to balance work and family life she is definitely not empathetic) or if all her video recordings were not heard at her pace she acted upset, if she cannot hear you/if you are crying she gets really annoyed, and finally her name calling: she said I was an angry person who others could see through and therefore were repulsed by, she said I played victim (when I was actually expressing regret over mistreating someone else), she said I had to accept her explanation above any others because she is the professional and must be respected at all times. I've never been treated so harshly and felt that I was caring for her feelings and not the other way around.

I spoke to a close friend who is an actual licensed psychologist who said this is highly unethical and she could jeopardize her license.but she doesn't have one. I feel if someone is suicidal or emotionally unbalanced, Wendy Hill could push you over the edge. While I did gain insight, it came at a great cost.

I started working with Dr. Wendy just after Covid-19 started. I was hesitant about the cost but I was ready to invest in myself and make transformative change in my life. I did work individually and also went through the renaissance workshop several months ago and I highly recommend it. I have been through several week long meditation retreats which I found very helpful and I appreciated how this workshop invites you to look inward to find the answers.

For me it was facing things I thought were long forgotten in my past and were not impacting me as an adult. I was wrong and by working with Dr. Wendy I have been able to make the changes I have wanted in my personal life and career, even during a pandemic. She genuinely cares about her clients and it has been a pleasure working with her. I could not recommend her more!

I am posting this review for Wendy Hill over six years after I completed her "Renaissance" program. The experience I had with her occassionally pops in my mind because it was traumatic for me. I saw that she is still practicing so I've decided to share some of my negative experience with her in hoping that it could inform others of her practice before they give her their hard earned money.

I decided to start seeing Wendy for therapy sessions to help me with my inner child work. After several individual sessions she sold me on an expensive weekend "Renaissance" intensive therapy workshop with a few of her other clients. At the time of my expensive workshop, it was held at her office and we stayed at a basic hotel. You can read all about her workshop but I wanted to relay my own personal experience with it.

I gave my ALL in her workshop. I tapped into my deep emotions, I sobbed in front of the other attendees and let myself be vulnerable enough to let her cradle me like a baby. I let my guard be completely down and was very receptive to her and the group. I had already been in therapy for ten years and never let myself be that vulnerable with a therapist or other strangers.

After I "graduated" from the program. I was told I could attend support group meetings with fellow graduates. Well I had another individual therapy session with Wendy after the workshop and during the session I was talking about emotional neglect from my mother and she said I should cut her out of my life. I said I dont want to do that even though I had deep issues with her at the time.

I than asked her "how she got along with her parents?" She seemed offended and didnt answer which I understood because as a therapist she didnt have to. However, she made me feel uncomfortable for even questioning her own relationship with them. Later that week after my session I got an email from Wendy saying that I wasnt allowed to be part of the support group anymore.

I think it was because I offended her. I was kicked to the curb! I felt gutted and used. I opened myself up to this "healer" and she stomped on my heart. Luckily, this experience still helped me start an amazing self healing journey for me from childhood trauma. However it wasnt because Wendy did a great job. It was because I used this betrayal from her to self empower myself and question the motives of such "spiritual healers" much closer in the future. On another note, I ran into one of the other workshop attendees a few years later and he told he began having negative experiences with her as well months later.

Dr. Wendy Hill came highly recommended to me via a lifelong friend who had gone through a few 1-on-1 sessions and attended her Renaissance workshop. Since my friend was already employed in the mental well-being industry, I took his recommendation seriously when he mentioned how good she is. I first met Dr. Hill via Zoom in a group setting during her free Tuesday workshops on "How to Be Happy." I didn't know what to expect.

My background, which I will spare the details in a public review, included years of CBT and some programs, but never hypnotherapy, so I was comfortable with the idea of being introduced to a group of like-minded individuals who appreciate the support of a group. Further, I was unemployed at the time and pursuing a new calling career-wise. In other words, I was already committed to pursuing help.

I was not disappointed in what I found in a group setting and was encouraged by the strength in vulnerability shared in that setting, which immediately put me at ease. Dr. Hill moderates the group and asks you to challenge yourself by finding your inner child and inner spirit. Since the Zoom groups, I have enjoyed many more remote (due to COVID, but also because I live across the country from her) one-on-one regression therapy sessions dating back to the earliest memories.

I cannot tell you how critical these sessions' timing had been to compliment work I had already started through programs and career counseling. The level of focus she empowers or lends me to uncover early childhood wreckage is second to none. I trusted Dr. Hill before our first session and kept an open mind to her healing energy. Finally, I have experienced Dr. Hill's Renaissance workshop via Zoom.

It was a very successful and critical 5-day small group workshop focused on finding, rescuing, and healing the inner child without outside interference (no phones, tv, communication with others). Without letting the steam out, it is recommended you do this only if you are genuinely committed to helping yourself and ready to face a small group of people who want the same thing you do - joy and happiness.

Dr. Wendy Hill was recommended to me and I am so grateful that she had time to meet with me. I needed some perspective on a difficult family situation that was causing a lot of sleepless nights. When I came into the office, I was super nervous but her calm demeanor and caring personality instantly put me at ease. I don't know if her dog is a therapy dog but he also came to greet me to so that helped me relax instantly.

I usually wouldn't write a review for my therapist but Dr. Wendy is amazing and maybe it will help you if you are having a hard time finding the right person. My next issue is snoring. I wonder if her hypnotherapy can fix that?

I met Dr. Wendy on a photoshoot and I told her I had been interested in helping others and self-exploration. I had told her about my issues and surprisingly we explored my inner-child. I had no idea I would have the opportunity to work with her in this aspect. I was able to explore my inner-child and figure out why I was feeling the way I was. Going back to high impact moments as a child opened my eyes to why I was feeling worthless and feeling anxiety. Now I have the awareness and knowledge to tap into my inner child and be forgiving, understanding, more compassionate and happy.

I lived my entire life repeating a pattern of self-defeating behaviors failing to realize their role as the source of dissatisfaction with my life and personal relationships. I finally reached an emotional rock-bottom- a point of desiring real change. Through serendipity in seeking a marriage therapist, Dr. Wendy came into my life. Seeing Dr. Wendy as my therapist has been nothing less than transformative. Starting as a child, I have had numerous experiences of ineffective therapy throughout my life.

The previous therapists, while being nice people and genuinely wanting to help, lacked the tools and expertise possessed by Dr. Wendy to do the job that I needed them to do. Dr. Wendy used a blend of inner child therapy, hypnosis, talk therapy, and relationship analysis to stimulate my self-realization/discovery of changes that I needed to make in my thinking and actions.

My process for change, with Dr. Wendy's guidance, developed through many individual sessions along with a 5-day group workshop that was unbelievably even more impactful than the already fruitful individual sessions. While being direct, yet compassionate, Dr. Wendy never let me off the hook. She led me to go where the other therapists did not- the roots of sadness, shame, anger, and guilt.

She made clear that I had to face these difficult, uncomfortable feelings to get to a higher place. As a result of my therapy, I now live a life enriched by a 4th dimension. This dimension consists of an emotional and spiritual realm invisible to me before seeking Dr. Wendy's consultation. I would never have been able to make impactful changes in my life without tapping into this dimension.

I am, and will always be a work in progress, but with Dr. Wendy's guidance, I have taken the first steps on the path to true happiness and peace. If you are committed to do the hard work required for healthy suffering (her term) in order to change your life, knowing that the reward will be an escape from a pattern of self-defeating behaviors that keep you in shackles, then Dr. Wendy is the best therapist for you.

She best suits the individual ready to work hard and be challenged to improve their life. If you come to her with an open mind and an open heart, you will learn the techniques to experience peace and emotional stability in your life.

I'd like to post a letter I sent to Wendy. It's been 4 years since I worked with her and there is still lasting impact from that work. I'll let the letter speak for itself. "Hi Dr. Wendy, I hope life has been treating you well. It's been a couple years, and life has been strange and intense, both good and bad. But this June I graduated from University and on Friday I accepted my first professional job position. It's entry level, but now there are so many opportunities that can come from it, I am on a track that comes with a security I didn't think I could achieve.

I live in a nice house owned by my friend, with my roommates, their two dogs, and a dog of my own named Winston. I can walk to the ocean from my house, and I have submitted my first article to an academic journal, with the hopes it will be published. None of these things could of happened without the work we did. I still have struggles with myself and become frustrated when I am not where I feel I should be in life, but the truth is that my life really began about 4 years ago, and for 4 years of real living I'm doing pretty good.

As I celebrated on Friday I thought I should send you this message, to thank you and reiterate that you really changed my life. The work in Encinitas and Idyllwild was important in itself, but it also changed my mindset about my own flaws. I use to think people couldn't truly change, and my experience working with you shattered that belief. It's the reason that when I face struggles now, I can still hold up hope that one day I will overcome those too. Thank you."

Stay away! This lady is a fraud and will charge you more than what it says on her website! Not only that, her place is a complete dump! She'll charge you $250 to sit in a room that smells like mold, mildew, and has stains all over the furniture. Next, she has a dirty, smelly dog in her office. Not only that, she is deaf so she'll tell you to yell so she can hear you. This lady should not be authorized to give therapy. She's charging an astronomical amount, provides a dirty environment, and can't hear you so beware!

Dr. Wendy Hill was recommended to me, I really appreciate the time she spent on the phone with me as well as her willingness to accommodate my schedule to fit me in. I went to her office and was instantly welcomed by her warm personality (and sweet puppy). Her calm demeanor and relaxed manner helped me to feel comfortable and at ease instantly. I found her to be very insightful and the perspective that she offered for my situation helped give me great clarity and comfort.

She is easy to talk to and I felt like she was able to ascertain the root of the problem early on. I chose her not only because of the recommendation but also, when I looked at her website, I saw that she has years of experience and offered hypnotherapy. something I had been considering. Having never gone to a therapist before, and uncertain of what to expect, I can definitely say that this experience with Dr. Wendy was extremely helpful and and I hope this helps others who are searching for the right therapist.

Dr. Hill helped me in many ways. I highly recommend her. Compassionate. Direct. Caring. Insightful.

It is difficult to put into words the difference that Wendy has made in my life. I have been to therapists off and on in my adult life with small benefits. I found Wendy and was interested in the hypnotherapy aspect of her practice. I have finally found relief from the old wounds that I have had since childhood. On-going depression, unhappy at work, unhappy marriage and not much hope are all things that I was experiencing. Wendy is highly skilled and wastes no time getting to work.

If you are ready to work on yourself and make positive changes in your life, Wendy is the one for you. She is worth every penny. She has a wonderful workshop called the Renaissance Experience that will change your life. It gets down to your core and heals the deepest wounds. Wendy is compassionate and competent and will make a difference in your life.

Dr hill has been exceptional in every way. My experience with her is one of great positive strides toward healing and growth. I feel my life changing and my personal well being is much improved. I recommend Dr Hill to anyone who has issues with anything holding them back or problems in relationships as well as problems handling life in a well balanced and healthy manner. Thank you so much Dr Hill. John G Concord, CA.

I found Wendy to be a expensive, pushy and rude. She charges $320 for a two hour appointment. My appointment did not last the full two hours. She encouraged me to book another two hour session. I wasted $320 and two hours of my time. Please screen Wendy fully before you book an appointment. Subsequently I have found a therapist through my EAP at work who I am very happy with and she's fully covered by insurance.

I am ever so grateful that I was led to Dr. Wendy Hill. I found her online through her website. I had an issue I wanted to resolve and I felt that she could help me. After a couple of months of therapy sessions, I signed up for the five-day Renaissance program. This is where I got to the source of my issue. I got to see aspects of myself I had not seen before.

I also received tools for managing negativity or enhancing my positive aspects. I became closer to my Inner Child. I am currently in Renaissance follow-up with other graduates of the program. We give each other support and bring our issues/problems forward for feedback and ideas for resolution. Her work is transforming and thorough. She is very adept at getting to the root of things.

Best of all--for me--, she comes from a deep, universal, spiritual place. Just yesterday I was reviewing this page and noticed two reviews that were critical of her in a way that was not constructive. Every person perceives through his/her own filter, but anyone reviewing this site will see the glowing 5-star ratings from persons who "stayed the course, " were willing to have their blind spots revealed to them, and receive pure, unconditional love from Wendy's proactive counseling. Yes, she can be direct, but rude?

Not in my filter! She processed me through my repressed anger and facilitated my transformation. This was no walk in the park for her. There has been no one like her in my life who was so able to get to the root of my dysfunction. As for the money issue, because I was honest with her about my finances, she offered me a more affordable package with a payment plan. I just had to ask for it. Joan L

After trying multiple therapies over the last 10 years I finally found the woman who would change my life! Wendy is a compassionate, extremely knowledgeable therapist and will take you where no other therapist will take you. You will truly be awakened and find out the real you, learn tools to help yourself in your everyday life and live the life you have always imagined!

I had my first appt with Wendy yesterday and I was really impressed with her and her knowledge sincerity and loving energy. You could tell she really cares. Also, she has the cutest dog! I had ordered her book through her website and she emailed me to tell me she was mailing it out and told me to feel free to call her with any questions. I received the book and absolutely related and loved it!

We emailed back and worth and then spoke on the phone. I found her fees to be comparable to other therapists and her sessions are much longer. I went to one person in Scripps Ranch who was $100 for 45 minutes and she wasn't close to as good as Wendy. In my experience, therapy is just plain expensive. But, if I could afford it, I would definitely go to Wendy on a regular basis.

She definitely knows her stuff and I felt completely comfortable telling her everything. She has a loving energy and I got a lot of just our one visit. I plan to do the processes outlined in her book and set appts here and there to go over certain things with her. You should check out her website, read her daily blogs and you will see what I mean!

Wendy is simply the BEST! I have been going to Theraspist on an off and No one hit the spot as Wendy did! She is wonderful in everyway. I am very strong and smart so it took someone extremely espiritual and super smart to convencie me that it will work! I highly recomment Wendy to the "normal crow" to all of us serching for that inner healing and inner peace :- Wendy will teach you how to truly trust yourself and will give you life lasting tools to continue your own healing!

Her workshop has been the best experience of my life so far! I think Wendy is an angel and you will know it from minute one! I highly recommend Wendy to all ages, especially the younger crown as she will teach the essence of who you are and will put you right on track to happiness! Thank you Wendy for all that you do for me and others!

First, Ms Hill is very adept at hypnosis, and at taking a person a back to core issues that are causing present time obstacles. She is well spoken and bright. She takes self pay patients only, and she makes a point to alert you to the fact that she only hand selects a few clients and turns many away. I was initially impressed, thinking it showed integrity to care more about doing quality work than taking a quantity of patients just for money.

I was not impressed with the heavy pressure later to read and purchase her book, and other strong arm tactics to extract more money through longer sessions. Also she spent quite a bit of time spent talking about herself and her accomplishements. She made a strong point about her boundaries and how under NO circumstances could you change an appointment without being fully charged, without adequate notice (that is standard practice by the way.) This does not apply of course if SHE cancels or postpones an appointment with little (a few hours) notice!

I reluctantly write this review only because after some time passed since this incident that I met ANOTHER past client of hers who had the identical experience! I felt it would not be responsible to other potential clients to remain silent. That said, she is skilled and adept at hypnosis, as I said. And perhaps it was a couple of unusual experiences and not typical behavior at all.
