I am a professional woman who would come home after a 12-14 hour day with a lot of stress in my shoulders and a lot of projects still going in my mind. Needless to say, it was sometimes difficult to get to sleep and quiet my mind enough where I could get a few hours of restful, restorative sleep. I often took an over-the-counter sleep aid and was able to get to sleep. However, the next morning I was often still sleepy or unable to think as clearly as I would like to.
I recently purchased your Warm Relaxation Nighttime CD. After a particularly busy day, I put in this CD and followed your guided imagery. I fell into a restful, restorative sleep and woke the next morning refreshed and thinking clearly. I have sucessfully repeated this many nights since. No more medication with side effects or fuzzy mind in the morning. Not only did I end my day by relaxing, I started a new day feeling rested, relaxed, and ready to accomplish many wonderful things !
Thank you for caring, sharing your passion, and helping me to restore my mind / body connection.
Please feel free to share my story.
You truly have made a positive difference in my life.

I purchased the Gydid-Ima-Tree Productions CD's, Bruxing, Relaxing You Jaw and Warm Relaxation, about 2 months ago. I had been struggling with getting to sleep at night and pain in my jaw for years. I had tried many ways to relax the muscles around my jaw, night guards, anti inflammatories, "telling myself to relax", hot and cold packs.
I began listening to Connie's relaxation CD's and had no idea how effective this could be! I can actually feel the muscles relax, and feel "slack" in them when I practice this. The more I use this technique with the guided imagery, the better it works. This helps me in so many ways; I sleep better, wake up more rested, and have a lot more energy.
The CD's are produced so well and Connie's voice is so soothing, they're perfect for this! I will keep using them, they are a permanent part of my routine now. These guided imagery-hypnosis CDs are a must have for busy people or those undergoing stress. This is an important part of taking care of yourself in a healthy way, and the results are tremendous!
Thank you Connie, for all the work that you do, and for these CD's.
I highly recommend them!

I have purchased all of Connie's CDs for myself and my family. We have all enjoyed listening to her soft soothing voice as she helps each of us relax and release the stresses of our day.
My oldest son grinds his teeth while he sleeps. The pain he has experienced in his jaw, and teeth, and the headaches that accompany them has kept him awake at night. He has been listening to Connie's CD's in the evening and has noticed substantial benefits. His teeth no longer hurt in the morning and he has less headaches.
I wish to Thank Connie for helping my son control his pain, and for teaching him how to relax in the evenings to control his Bruxing.
My two other children have benefited from Connie's CD also. Both are in High School and have been listening to "Warm Relaxation" and "Ultimate Confidence & Self Esteem". I have seen an improvement in both of their home work and grades. They feel better about themselves and that makes me happy.
Thank you again Connie for producing your CD's and we look forward to listening to your wonderful voice on all your new CD's to come.

I was having a difficult time getting to sleep at night; and was having anxiety attacks; mostly on Sunday nights before I had to go to work the next day. Connie suggested her relaxation CD. After a few minutes of listening I was fast asleep. I continue to listen to the CD every night, and have had no difficultly getting to sleep after that.
If I feel an anxiety attack coming on, even when it's not bed time, I play the CD, and feel immediately calm. I'm a big advocate of alternative medicine, especially avoiding medication if at all possible. I didn't want to get "hooked" on a sleep aid, and having Connie's relaxation CD, as been a God sent. Connie herself is a gift from above.
Thank you so much,

I have listened to the your "Warm Relaxation" CD and it is lovely...warmly relaxing. I have done a lot of guided meditation and this ranks right up there with the best. Guided imagery-hypnosis is a new tool that I will use often.

With your help, I have discovered a deeper sense of my inner spirit, and I am so much more at peace, and able to relax. When my day gets crazy, I know I can renew my spirit and sleep better with your guided imagery-hypnosis CD. You will help so many more people with your web site!!
My thanks to you.... Debi K.
In my practice, I deal with patients who experience bruxing. These patients have TMJ pain as well as headaches. I have given Connie's Bruxing CD to them with fantastic results! I highly recommend the CDs.

I am truly amazed! Connie's calming voice, combined with gentle evocative music has created a safe haven for some astounding changes, not only in my jaw, but also throughout my being. Thank you, Ms Burgstahler for your guided imagery-hypnosis CD!

Ever since my accident in 1990, I have had reoccurring pain due to TMJ in my right jaw. I decided to try the Bruxing: Relaxing your jaw CD. In the morning I was amazed to find that the pain in my jaw had dramatically receded and within a day it was completely gone. It has been a few months now and there has not been a recurrence.

I recently used the Pre-Dental Relaxation CD from Gydid-Ima-Tree Productions prior to my dental appointment. I find myself tensing up before and during dental visits. Soon I am so tense that everything hurts far more than it should. With the techniques, I learned I was able to consciously relax my muscles making the experience far easier than normal. It was wonderful to have the tools to relax during that long appointment. This is the first time I was able to reschedule without fear. If she could make the fluoride treatment taste, better I might even look forward to my next visit.

We offer the Pre-Dental Relaxation and At Ease in the Dental Chair CD's to our patients
at Dr. Sakai's office. The following are comments from patients:
"I liked it, especially when she talked about the teeth and gums. I would use this CD again."
"I felt like it was hard to follow the breathing directions with the instruments in my mouth,
Also, the inhale/fill abdomen instructions were too slow for me. Overall I felt it was a
positive experience."
Connie, this is my observation of this last patient; Patient normally has a strong gag reflex during entire dental procedure. While listening to the "At Ease in the Dental Chair" CD the patient had no gagging episodes and reduced anxiety.
My Chiropractor suggested that I try the Bruxing-Relaxing Your Jaw at Nighttime CD for relief of frequent morning headaches, neck and shoulder pain. I have put this CD onto my iPod and listened to it after especially stressful days. I wake up with fewer headaches and less pain in general.
Connie has a very pleasant, soothing voice. I appreciate the option of this guided imagery to enhance or even replace OTC pain medication in my nighttime routine.
