My session with Jonny was very insightful, and helpful with the current struggles I’m facing. I was very impressed with how much of the evidence was on point to my loved ones and in general. Especially around being a very emotional person and needing to get back to the outlets I’ve used in the past to help myself including journaling, singing, painting, and essential oils. And I was laughing inside about Jonny literally describing a painting I did this year and its elements in it, which confirmed to me of my own connections through my art.

He is very personable and explains his process my grandparents on my moms side came through and a friend he described the heart surgery of my grandfather the cooking of my grandmother and how my friend was a drinker of whiskey and how they are excited for me in my new endeavor encouraging me to keep going! D
Jonny is easy to talk to and has the ability to explain his process for the reading was very thourough. What struck me most was when Jonny showed how the spirit was sitting. Once he mentioned this particular fact, I knew who exactly the who this was in spirit `It definitely struck a chord since I have a photo of this ancestor sitting just like Jonny mentioned in our session. Jonny’s attention to nuance and his sense of compassion comes through in his readings. He is a wonderful listener and has the capacity to show love, respect and grace with the spirits that he encountered in the session. Z
Great detail and brought across messages of fundamental healing for me. A
Jonny is an especially gifted medium with beautiful powers of communication. He was unhesitating in sharing the full flow of what he was receiving, and moved easily and intuitively between evidence and messages (the latter of which powerfully supported the former). He forged a strong, moving connection with my loved ones. Catherine
I thoroughly enjoyed my reading with Jonny. He brought through three of my family members with fantastic evidence of both practical and personality of each one. Jonny was able to bring through the essence of my family. It was a wonderful experience. -Lisa McCarthy – Medium
You were just phenomenal. You brought so much great evidence and detail about *both* of my grandmothers, and a lot of it was incredibly personal, which only they knew about. It brought me such great joy to hear their healing messages. You are very caring, kind, compassionate, and genuine, and all of that was present during your reading. -Christine
Phenomenal reading. It helped me feel aliveness of my friend, Wynne, and shifted my understanding about her relationship to her boyfriend that was helpful for me to hear at this time. Great evidence about basketball, her boyfriend, and the car accident. -Dominique
Jonny brought in my mother. He mentioned the pink rubber gloves and what she used to do with her hair etc. – which was on point! Positively shocking was that she told him the name of my first born plus accurate information about both of my sons. When I told him that my father passed away on the date of our session, he very kindly brought him in as well, plus a meaningful message. The session was so wholesome to me. Jonny did an outstanding job and is not only a talented and gifted medium, he is also very pleasant and interesting to talk to. The session with him was clearly my favorite so far. -Iris
I loved your energy, delivery during the reading, and how you genuinely wanted the best for spirit and me. That shone through! As I mentioned above, the evidence was great, but I also appreciated the detailed and specific personal advice relating to my life currently. Thoroughly enjoyed the reading I got from you. Thank you very much. -Ross
Jonny, it was a pleasure to receive a reading from you. You brought in two people — my husband’s uncle Fritz and my maternal grandmother. For both communicators, your evidence was quite good. For Fritz, you gave the name Alfred, his baptismal and legal name. He worked as a school principal doing high-detail work, as you had said. After my session with you, I checked with my husband: Fritz passed away shortly after being administered a defibrillation shock, as you had said. You also brought in my maternal grandmother — an energetic, independent Polish lady who spoke her mind and danced the Polka, you had described her. It was a lovely session. -Judie
I appreciate how you pay attention to your professional delivery. You did an excellent job! You shared a lot of information in a way that made me feel like my grandmother and mother were right there with me. You have a special talent for capturing their spirit and making me feel comfortable around you that allowed me to feel safe and heard during my reading. Thank you. -Megan
Jonny brought through my mother in law and described her in the way I could understand. How she was enjoying her long phone conversations, how she would take care of me and how I would help her when she was loosing her balance and was falling. Excellent reading. -Emil
It was great to meet you, Jonny. Your manner instills calm, trust, and openness. You conveyed my brother’s attributes, manner, and personality very well, along with a message that sounds exactly like him (“oooh what a ride!” about his passing), that he didn’t believe in an afterlife but described where he is with great enthusiasm, and a beautiful message that means a lot to me. Thank you, Jonny! -Valerie
Thanks for the connection with my grandmother and father, you got their essence and evidence related to them that I could identify with. Thank you also for the messages of encouragement and confirmation of what I do relating to my connection with ancestors! Awesome reading! Best. xx -Kim
Hypnosis Testimonials
“When first referred to Jonny, I was not open to Hypnosis. It didn’t work in the past. My intuition nagged me to be open again. I listened. I was so FEARFUL, and suffering through intrusive thoughts & impending doom. Also a VERY dis-regulated Nervous System. My 1st/2nd sessions were TREMENDOUS break throughs!!! For the first time in several years, I felt…. free… FREE!!! As a Holistic Practitioner myself, my Practice has leveled up! My Client Sessions, so powerful! Personally, I can think clearly again. Anxiety, all time low. The mindset shift, Jonny helps me with has changed the trajectory of my life. And my work. It is my greatest pleasure to work with Jonny, Game changer. Life saver that Jonny! Thank you so much!”

I made an appointment with Jonny Torgersen after seeing him interviewed on youtube. I had been struggling with drinking to excess due to anxiety and depression for years, especially during the turmoil of a 23 year marriage that ended in divorce. The previous day my sister had suggested I try hypnosis and I just happened to come across Jonny’s interview (I hadn’t even done a search about hypnosis, but was just scrolling around aimlessly and the interview popped up). So, I took this as a sign, looked up his website, and booked a session.
From the beginning of our first session, which was a month ago on August 14th, I felt comfortable with Jonny. He radiates calmness, has a great voice with a slight Norwegian accent, and a lovely ability to listen completely. The session was to be an hour and a half long. During the first hour, I told Jonny every trauma I have ever experienced (I may have left out something, but I don’t think so) and how I found it impossible to move forward or make plans for the future. I said it was like there was a “wall” in front of me and the drinking was getting worse.
After I exhausted the topic of my trauma/s, Jonny suggested I get into a comfortable place, and we would begin the hypnosis – screens off.
He led me through a series of suggestions – the first to relax my body – and next to look at the “wall of fear” in front of me. He did not mention drinking. ( In fact, he said when I first contacted him that he hadn’t dealt much with alcohol issues.) He had me picture the wall I had spoken of- what it was made of, etc. and then imagine dissolving it. I won’t go into all the details, but it was a profound experience. A day or so later, he sent me a recording of just the hypnosis part and gave me some “homework”. I was to listen to the recording three or four times a week or more and to look in a mirror and ask myself a few questions. So I did both. After two days, I quit drinking. Full stop.
It has been a month and two days. I have lots of energy and no longer focus on my past. It’s as if the traumas are well into the past where they belong. In fact, I have stopped hurting or blaming myself for all the suffering. I am simply relieved. This change is so enormous, that a friend said that I look and seem like a completely different person. And I feel like one.
On September 9th, I had a second session. This one led into a journey about dropping the protective “armour” I carry around with me. Another deep dive into my subconscious mind, which seems like a journey without limits. Note – as a writer, I’ve generally been able to delve into my subconscious for my work – but this work is different. The discoveries are for me.
So, for someone thinking about booking a session, there is nothing frightening about it. My mind wasn’t controlled during the session. In fact, it was the opposite. Jonny was the guide and laid out a blueprint or map, but it was my subconscious mind that created the new journey, one without dependence on a substance to get me through the day. I have since booked two trips, one to Palm Springs to visit family and the other to Tulum, Mexico for a wedding. I’m excited about traveling again, and am even considering a household move, But more important to me is that I wake up every day feeling grateful to have this profound new beginning. When I think about the past, it’s without pain, and is where it belongs, in the past. This probably sounds impossible – but I experienced it. ~Written September 16th, 2025 by Jodi Rothe, playwright and a happy woman at last
I met Jonny last year while I was in classes with James Van Praagh. I felt an almost immediate connection with Jonny. He is a very loving person and always wanting to help. We met in San Diego last Spring for a 3-day workshop. He is just as great in-person and I could tell how genuine he is. When I decided to travel the road of healing my inner issues I knew I wanted to work with Jonny using hypnosis. Jonny takes his time to get to the core of the why. It wasn’t easy to bring forward some of the hurts I have been holding but in order to heal and understand my unhealthy eating patterns we needed to do this. After the first session I found myself face to face with an issue I have held for many years but because I was given tools during the hypnosis I was able to feel it, get angry, and let all the anger go. I found myself processing certain episodes in my life and feeling them and then letting them go.
We have had 3 sessions now and I am finding myself making some better choices with my diet. I still have more processing to do but I am able to walk away from many of the foods that are not healthy for me, as I walk away from the negative feelings I have held for much of my life. I am doing less and less emotional eating. I have more to work on and will continue to work with Jonny to get to my goals. Thank you so much Jonny for getting me this far. ~Anne
I want to share a moment of appreciation for the profound experience of working with Jonny with the hypnosis techniques. I have never tried that and was a bit skeptical about it before our first session. However, I was ready to try a different approach for my weight loss journey.
I think this has been a profound subconscious shift for me, much more than I realized. I knew that I wanted lasting changes and not to continue the yoyo dieting style of back and forth that I had experienced before. After the first session, I could feel a shift in my mind, body, and spirit. The first thing that I noticed was that I was more aware of my trigger times when I was anxious and chose food to calm me down. I would take a pause and say, are you hungry or are you tired, bored, stressed, thirsty…..It is becoming more natural for me to be curious and not react in my old pattern of dealing with various emotions.
It has been a perfect experience for me, and I’m feeling it on a deep internal level. I think it is worth it and excellent to try the hypnosis technique. Jonny is very kind, patient, gentle, and talented.
Much gratitude to Jonny for my sessions with him. ~ Jennifer
I cannot say enough great things about my experience with Jonny Torgersen’s hypnosis services. From the very first session, Jonny created a space that felt safe, supportive, and completely free of judgment. His calming presence and deep expertise in hypnotherapy made it incredibly easy to relax and fully engage in the process. What sets Jonny apart is his intuitive ability to truly listen and tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re looking to break a habit, overcome anxiety, or simply tap into a deeper sense of self-awareness, Jonny’s guidance is nothing short of life-changing. I came in with some skepticism (and an open kind), but left with tangible results and a new level of clarity. If you’re in the San Diego area and looking for a skilled, compassionate, and highly effective hypnotherapist, Jonny Torgersen is the real deal. I’m incredibly grateful for the breakthroughs I’ve experienced and would recommend him to anyone ready to take that next step toward positive change. -Tony Alexander Level 3 QHHT practitioner
I have had the pleasure of working with Jonny for over a year now. I was working thru numerous personal problems and couldn’t quite overcome the issues that I was experiencing. Jonny recommended I do hypnosis to get to the underlying issues that had been rooted deep within myself. After the first session I noticed a difference in how I looked at these issues. I could feel relief and calmness within days after our first session. Fast forward to a year now and I have a calm, that has settled over me and a new approach and look at the future. Jonny relaxes you, calms you and helps you overcome pressures, issues and anything that is blocking you from obtaining your goals. At first I was skeptical about hypnosis but looking back, my only regret was not having Jonny as a therapist sooner. He is extremely knowledgeable, calm, relaxing and extremely helpful. His techniques are unique and he makes you feel extremely comfortable. I highly recommend contacting Jonny for all your therapy needs. Sincerely ~Craig
To be honest, I’ve always been a little bit resistant to hypnosis sessions because my former experiences never felt incredibly personalized to *me*. I’d tried them multiple times, but something was always a little bit off. That all changed when I had a session with Jonny. Working with Jonny was the best hypnosis experience I’ve had to date, and he made it incredibly easy and personalized, which allowed me to completely surrender into his care. I felt safe, held, and led, which is exactly the kind of container I needed to be able to truly soak in the benefits of hypnosis. I still revisit our recordings, and each time I can tell it benefits me in immeasurable ways. I would absolutely recommend working with Jonny. ~Alexandra, 35, Coach
From the start, talking with Jonny has felt like getting together with an old friend. He pays attention, asks relevant questions, and is very respectful. I came into my session determined to face a certain aspect of my life that I felt was always an obstacle. Through our opening discussion, we decided to try working on a different part that actually helped unlock problems in both areas. It was just the change in perspective that I needed to move forward. As an added bonus, I went home feeling relaxed and refreshed- something that doesn’t happen often around my kids. Jonny was able to help me quiet my mind and focus in a safe space. I would absolutely recommend this experience to a friend. ~Brook
I only worked with Jonny briefly during a free workshop he hosted online, but I really enjoyed the experience. I had been to a few hypnotherapists prior to that, and never connected with any of them or their style. But with Jonny, even though it was virtual and I was one of several people on the call, it was different. I felt like I was in a different state of being and it was really interesting. I hope to work with him one-on-one soon to explore things a bit further. ~Ann
Having had hypnotherapy from Jonny, I can’t do anything other than highly recommend him! I was always “fearful” of hypnosis, being a little bit of a “control freak” when it comes to myself but Jonny explained everything to me and I trusted him. Thankfully due to my hypnosis sessions with Jonny I am now Pepsi Max free for 9 months, bearing in mind that prior to that session Pepsi Max was literally all that I drank. I also gave up sugar and chocolate for 3 months thanks to hypnosis with Jonny, I have lapsed on that but that was my doing after a stressful time in my personal life and not using the tools that I was given. I am now booked in for more hypnosis to get back into healthier eating. Jonny has a gentle way with a very spiritual basis for his work and I trust him implicitly and recommend him 100%. ~Denise
