What others are saying about HBLU & HBLU Trainings:
After the trauma of losing a child, then the severe illness of another, I was left with anxiety, panic attacks and complete exhaustion that was misdiagnosed as varies medical ailments. For nearly two years, I desperately searched for a way to get back my life. And when talk therapy was increasingly making my anxiety worse, I finally found Amy St. Hilaire and HBLU practices.
By the end of my first session, I knew that there was hope. I did not have to suffer emotionally or physically anymore. The sleeplessness, aches, pains, heart palpitations, numbness, stomach pains, and headaches that I suffered with most of my life have now almost completely subsided. And the trauma I suffered daily worrying about my health and my children’s health has been healed.
Since beginning to see Amy, my marriage, parenting skills, friendships, faith& career have all drastically improved. I feel like myself again. I’m no longer plagued by the fear of living with anxiety and panic forever. Amy has not only given me tools to deal with anxiety and panic when they happen, but she has also guided me through the process on how to overcome them. I had previously tried natural remedies, alternative treatments, and traditional medicine to help me. But these practices didn’t get to the core of why I suffered from anxiety?& panic. Because HBLU treats your unconscious, conscious, body& soul levels, there is healing throughout. As I continue to heal past traumas, life gets better & brighter. --Krystin
During one of my sessions with Amy, the concept of a "deathwish" came up. Initially, I thought it was nuts, but as I reviewed many areas I continually struggled with, it became clear there were some things holding me back. Through a series of exercises, Amy walked me through some incredible realizations and healings of very old things I had no idea existed.Though it's impossible for me to explain how it worked, I know it has worked. Healing a trauma that started a lifelong feeling of unworthiness has brought a new lightness to life and an ease I hadn't felt before. After this one session, I found myself singing to the radio in the car, which is something I hadn't done in at least 20 years!Our daughter, Amanda lived a very painful childhood full of serious life-threatening health issues. Due to these traumas, the mention of going to the doctor for shots would send her running for her room, and the day of the event, it would take at least two adults to hold her down along with a good 30-minute ordeal of crying and trying to get away.Amanda would tell us she "knew" the shot didn't hurt, but when it came to getting it, she "just couldn't control herself. "It was an incredibly painful event for the whole family. At age 11, before starting a series of 3 shots to enter 7th grade, we had two sessions of HBLU with Amy. After these sessions, through the series of shots, no one had to hold Amanda down and by the third one, she was able to walk herself into the doctor's office, receive the shot and walk back out as if it were no big deal! It may seem like a little thing to many, but to our family, it has brought great peace and healing. We feel so blessed to have Amy and the tools of Bio-Destressing a part of our life. It has helped Amanda move past these early traumas in her life and focus on the fun things she's involved in! --Terri
June 11, 2008 I had open heart surgery to replace a congenitally defective aortic valve. I set the date for the surgery but a couple of weeks before I decided that I wasn’t as “tough as I thought I was” and Googled “pre-surgical counseling” where I found Amy St. Hilaire. Amy was able to make time for me the following week to counsel me for an hour a couple of days prior to my surgery. Long story short, this was an amazing one-hour of my life.My wife was going to drive me to the hospital that morning. We had planned that thinking I would be too nervous to drive. At the last minute I decided to drive. I remember telling her, on a dark and very quiet Houston freeway (5:30AM) that without the counseling I had undertaken with Amy that I would probably be shaking like a leaf. I wasn’t. I was exceptionally calm for someone who had never undergone major surgery before. (And let’s face it—you know what was in the back of my mind. I had said my goodbyes…just in case.)
The surgery was (obviously) a success. I only spent about 5 hours in ICU before being wheeled to my room. 5 days later, I was home.
During my first follow up office visit to my cardiologist—who has been practicing for better than 22 years—he made the statement that in all his years he had never had a patient bleed as little as I had on the table. He said that the blood had literally flowed away from the incision back into my body. No additional blood was needed (which I had previously donated in preparation) for the surgery.This was one of the specific mindsets that Amy St. Hilaire had taught me to focus on during our session.
I mentioned my pre-surgical counseling to my cardiologist. He just looked at me and said “There must be something to that.”
I wholeheartedly recommend and endorse Amy St. Hilaire and The Center for Integrative Therapy!If you have taken the time to read this entire testimonial you must have good reason. I believe you to be in good hands and I wish you the very best!

HBLU has been an incredible diagnostic tool for my clients. It takes their issues to depths and details that their cognitive and conscious parts cannot access. Clients feel such a deep and thorough clearing after doing an HBLU protocol. Clients appreciate the speed and thoroughness in which their issues are cleared.

HBLU is one of the most fascinating, brilliant and complete therapeutic modalities you will ever experience. As both a practicioner and recipient, I've been able to experience first hand the effectiveness of HBLU- both healing and transforming your self to ensure a higher quality of life.

HBLU has changed my life- I am experiencing deeper levels of freedom and happiness that has improved my relationships with my husband, family, friends and God. HBLU is a true blessingChristine, LMFT, Psychotherapist
HBLU has essentially changed my life. After one important intervention my generalized anxiety dropped from a 10 to a 1. An amazing sense of peace and calm came over me, such as I have never known in my life. Along with the anxiety went my claustrophobia. I can now sit on an airplane without having to carry a Xanax in my pocket, just in case I might freak out! This is life changing work and I am so grateful to have found it. It has enabled me to be much more of my happy, peaceful self.

HBLU has helped me both personally and professionally. This modality of healing allows profound change to happen quickly and safely. HBLU is perfect for clinicians who are frustrated with the lack of progress in their work with clients or for individuals who just want to improve themselves. My clients prefer HBLU techniques because they can heal their traumas, fears, etc. completely and definitely without struggle. What more could you ask for?

I took the HBLU I training last summer with Amy St. Hilaire. Amy is a dynamic teacher who is very clear, concise and direct in her teaching style. She uses this method with her entire client base and gets really lasting results. Her expertise in the area is obvious throughout this course. She creates a hands-on learning environment where students are able to practice and see immediate results.One student for example, cleared a phobia and noticed that same night how her behaviors had changed and her fear had gone away.
HBLU empowers the clients to heal themselves through the guidance of the practitioner. It has become an invaluable skill in my life. Although I am not a therapist, members of my community tend to come to me with their problems. I used to get so wrapped in these problems that I was not help to anyone else or myself. The tools Amy passed onto me during the HBLU I training has enabled me to guide others to their own deepest wisdom, and use this wisdom to clear phobias, limiting beliefs, negative thought patterns and traumas that are preventing them from accomplishing their goals. I am now able to be helpful in a way that doesn't compromise my own boundaries or cause burnout. I can simply guide them to where the need to go.
The system is very comprehensive and easy to learn and yet the issues that surface can be serious and deep rooted, affecting someone on a daily basis. It is truly an amazing experience to be able to see these wounds being healed, to see friends and loved ones change after sometimes years of suffering.
This is a skill i would never exchange. I recommend this course to anyone interested in healing, whether a therapist or not. And if you've decided to take the course with Amy, know that your in for a treat. She's a great teacher and truly inspiring to study with!Monique Moyer, BA, Activist
With laser-like precision, HBLU protocols found old patterns that interfered with the quality of my life. Because it is such a thorough way of looking at patterns, we cleared them completely. Consequently, I have moved forward in areas I was previously stuck.
