Jackie Maclean
Help for Addictions, Stress, Success and More.....

We are pleased to bring you the story of Vancouver Clinical Hypnotherarpist and Addictions Specialist, Jackie Mclean.  Jackie's experience is inspirational for showing how we can rise above the hand we have been apparently dealt in life.  Learning and using hypnosis can help all of us make real changes in our life.

Hello Jackie and thank you for sharing your time with us today. Please take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers.

I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist and I specialize in Addictions Recovery.

I help people change bad habits, everything from nail biting to the more serious problems such as alcohol, cocaine, cigarettes. Over the years I have helped thousands of business owners successfully overcome addictions to gambling and internet, video games so they can get back on track and enjoy a successful business.

I work with people locally in Vancouver, Canada and internationally as well.

The information I have provided during my appearances on several TV and radio programs have helped thousands deal with issues relating to addiction recovery.

Thank you Jackie . Now tell us if you will, how long have you
been a hypnotist in Vancouver?

I’ve been practising since 2005.

Can you recall how you were first drawn to a career in hypnosis in Vancouver?

In 2002, my second marriage broke down which left me alone in Canada with four children to raise. There was no income, a huge debt and seemingly no future. I went into depression and didn’t know how to get out.

A few months after searching for answers, as to why I was in such a deep hole, ‘hypnosis found me’. I took a chance and decided to take the hypnotherapy course because I was very naive at computers and the internet and didn’t even know how to ‘Google’ and find a hypnotherapist to help me.. Just a well because I then decided to take the course.

Have you experienced any personal benefits from using
hypnosis for yourself that you would care to share with our readers?

I was born and raised in Mumbai, India, in a dysfunctional environment what to me seemed like the ‘Bronx’ of India. I grew up in a lower income neighbourhood in a poor city. Though I had a loving mother, poverty and an alcoholic father meant that I often ‘punished’ and went hungry.

In an effort to escape that, I married young, at age 19. It turned out to be a case of jumping from the ‘frying pan into the fire’. My husband passed away a few years into the marriage leaving me a widow, at age 24 with two toddlers to raise.

I then moved and worked in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. Looking back, it seems that I have overcome tremendous adversity, learning how to survive with my two little daughters in a culture that is not very tolerant of females in the workforce.

When I immigrated to Canada 20 years ago, I used to question my move several times as I left behind luxuries – a boat, several vehicles, a maid, a gardener and a high powered job.

In 2002, my second marriage broke down which left me alone in Canada with four children to raise. There was no income, a huge debt and seemingly no future. I went into depression and didn’t know how to get out.

I have been a single mum to four children for many years. Like a lot of single mothers, I had no support. Learning to ask for help and taking a hypnosis course was the turning point for me. Somehow I found the courage to rescue myself, and now I spend time rescuing the most impoverished in our community. 

A few months after I discovered hypnosis, I started seeing light at the end of the tunnel and things started improving

What issues do your clients typically come to you for help with Jackie in your daily practice? Do you specialize in helping people with certain issues?

I specialize in Addictions Recovery.

I help people change bad habits, everything from nail biting to the more serious problems such as alcohol, cocaine, cigarettes.

Over the years I have helped thousands of business owners successfully overcome addictions to gambling, internet, video games so they can get back on track and enjoy a successful business.

Jackie , I know that you have an interesting program you use with clients. Can you tell us about this program and how it is helping people?

I have a Rapid Breakthrough Jump Start Program that helps the majority of my clients. – a couple of sessions and most people make dramatic changes.

Do you find any particular phase of your  hypnotherapy work to be of special interest to you?

I don’t just do hypnotherapy. I train and teach my clients. I love teaching people either one on one or in a group setting.

What is the most frequent misunderstanding about hypnosis that you encounter with your clients in Vancouver Jackie ?

People are expecting to be ‘asleep’; they’re expecting to not ‘remember’ and some are sometimes disappointed because they heard everything I said!

Do you have a favorite book Jackie on hypnosis that you would recommend?

I always recommend The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Dr. Joseph Murphy. This was the first book recommended to me and it got me excited about Hypnosis.

Jackie , based on your experience, what do you see as the future of hypnotism in Vancouver and Canada?

I am really excited as more and more people are looking at Hypnosis as the ‘answer to their prayers’. I believe this is the case as people are trying ‘everything out there’ with no success. I know that most of my clients come to me as a last resort. Very soon, it will be the first resort.

Is there anything else that you would like to expand upon or add that we have not covered?

If there is something holding you back, I encourage you all to try Hypnosis and get rid of those blocks or demons that are holding you back.

The worst that can happen is that you will feel deeply relaxed...like a nice relaxing mental massage. The best that can happen is your entire life will change for the better, just like it did mine.

Well thank you for letting us learn more about you and your work Jackie.  It was very interesting.
