Self-Empowerment & Healing
“When I reconnected with Rod in March of 2020, I was finishing up my last round of chemotherapy and heading into a six-week, away-from-home radiation regime, in the middle of the first Covid 19 Lockdown.”
“I had just left a toxic marriage, on the heels of bankruptcy, and was struggling with emerging spiritual beliefs, as they came crashing into the atheistic, Western world views I was indoctrinated with. My worst fear, was to conquer cancer … only to let old habits and familiar anxiety, lead me straight back down the same path; right back to cancer. It was unbearable, and it is exactly where I was heading.”
“I had met Rod 20 years previously, when he arrived to volunteer on my farm, while he recovered from his own near-death experience and redefined his life. He wanted to learn how to jump on a horse, and was happy and willing to work alongside me, in exchange for lessons. It was perfect.”
“Twenty years later, slowed down by the covid19 lockdown and following an impulse, he found me on Facebook. Who’d have thought that he would have used the intervening years to specialize in hypnotherapy, with a focus on helping cancer patients heal, learn from their pasts and take control of their stories?”
“To say I needed him, is an understatement! I was fearful and hopeless and full of a burning shame. We spent 5 days per week, talking to each other through Messenger, doing hypnotherapy sessions to restore my spirit, to let go of my past, to control my anxiety and find a burgeoning hope for my future.”
“At one time, I was on enough prescription and non-prescription medicines to take down a stampeding rhino! I was on Zopiclone, Effexor (Venlafaxine), Diphenhydramine, Gabapentin, CBD, THC, Gravol, Herbal anxiety remedies, herbal sleep remedies … and none of them were helping me find sleep! I spent 8 weeks of sleeplessness and the only thing that allowed me to find any peace, was when Rod hypnotized me to sleep.”
“He has since taught me how to do it myself, and I am off of the sleeping pills and the anti-anxiety meds. I have kicked cancer, I sleep at night, I manage my energy/anxiety and I am redefining a life that will continue down a path of health and wellness.”
“All I needed was Rod, who put me in touch with my own inner healer. Maybe he could help you, too?
“Take a Chance.”

“I met Rod through a colleague of mine and I am truly grateful for this connection. In my first session Rod hit on something deep that has been plaguing me my entire life. After digging into the cause of my discomfort, Rod made it really easy to understand how to resolve the issue. I felt the best I have felt in years walking out of his office. With a few short exercises/mantras to do at home, I felt a huge shift within the first week. It is amazing what he can tune into and truly get to the root of what is going on. I am excited to continue my work with him!”

Thank you Rod Kelly for such an amazing workshop! Your knowledge, research and passion for helping others to heal their own body, mind & soul is so powerful and so needed on our planet right now. I especially enjoyed and benefited deeply from your exercise on how to heal our Aura. Thanks again and keep those workshops going. They are so needed and recommended! Blessings 🙏

I had the pleasure of meeting Rod Kelly for the first time at a health fair in Enfield, CT, where I purchased his book, “Connecting the Earth, Sky & You”. I was amazed at the concept of his book and had not heard of this type of treatment before. This was the most amazing book that I had ever read. I was in the process of following Rod’s technique when we met again while attending one of his workshops in Bristol.
Rod is an amazing person. After this workshop I knew that I needed to make an appointment with him to fully understand his technique. Since then I have had several sessions with Rod that had been extremely helpful in helping me heal my life and my physical issues. I highly recommend Rod Kelly and his hypnotic therapy sessions.

I attended one of Rod’s workshops on healing… I’ve had a 40 year history of a SMALL but irritating pain…. I honestly was skeptical that Rod would make a difference….. But he has… One session… no pain! This is worth checking out….

Rod Kelly has been amazing since the day I met him. His kindness and understanding made me feel comfortable and at ease.
I first inquired about hypnosis because I was finally ready to quit smoking, but I just couldn’t do it alone. I had tried everything to quit smoking; nicotine gum, patches, and lozenges. I tried to quit cold turkey, and even joined an online support group. Nothing worked. I came across Rod’s office while in the building for another appointment. I stopped in and inquired about his smoking cessation treatment. He was super informative and took his time to explain how everything worked. I had some skepticism about being hypnotized because I suffered from PTSD and wasn’t comfortable with a man putting me into a “trance”. However, after talking with Rod, I had a better understanding of how hypnosis worked. I learned that I would be completely aware and conscience the whole time.
I describe hypnosis as a state of complete relaxation and clarity. After the first session, I never picked up another cigarette again. I had been smoking for 19 years. It has been 4 months since I quit smoking. I do have fleeting thoughts of smoking sometimes. However, the thoughts leave my mind just as quickly as they come in. I was so impressed with how well hypnosis worked for me that I asked Rod if he could help me with my PTSD through hypnosis.
I was overjoyed to find out that he could. (Heres a little back story for you. I was sexually assaulted multiple times at the age of 17. When I was 18 I went into pre-mature menopause. I was on hormone replacement therapy for a couple of months until I had a stroke. I stopped taking the hormones and lived in menopause.) What happened after my session was Amazing.
About 1 week after I worked on my PTSD with Rod, I got my menses. This was the first time in 11 years. I called my OBGYN and went in for blood work. The results were astonishing. My hormone levels were all normal!!! I was no longer in menopause. The hypnosis allowed me to heal my mind, body, and soul. The trauma had caused my body to shut down my reproductive system as a way of protecting itself. Once I was able to heal from that trauma, my body healed as well.
I am happier than I have ever been in my life. Since working with Rod, I have been able to get off all of my anxiety and sleeping medications. I am like a whole new person. Everyone who sees me now, can’t believe how Great I’m doing. Just 2 years ago I had a suicide attempt that was nearly a success. I never thought I could ever escape the flashbacks and nightmares that tortured my mind.
Today, I am free from those invasive thoughts. Free from paranoia and anxiety. I now know what it feels like to have self-esteem. What its like to truly love myself. I’m a whole new person and I have Rod to thank for having the patience to explain everything to me in extreme detail. For allowing me to become 100% comfortable before we pursued anything. I am finally free to live the life I’ve always imagined. Its no longer a dream, but a reality.

“I feel compelled to express my sincerest gratitude for the help that you’ve provided me with your wonderful combination of hypnosis and energy work. As you know I’ve struggled with heart palpitations every day, all day for well over a year now, and thanks to you they’re GONE. I honestly can’t believe it. I kept waiting for them to come back because nothing else has worked, but they’re still gone. Its been a month now and they still haven’t returned. Prior to working with you, I had not been free of them for more than a couple of hours at a time. I can’t tell you how much better I feel. I have been searching for years (as I had them on and off for almost 30 years) for something to help with them. I’ve gone the traditional route working with a cardiologist and using heart meds. I’ve tried Reiki and acupuncture. I’ve tried a medley of different supplements and nothing has worked until I worked with you. I am still amazed that in one session you’ve been able to accomplish what many others have not. I feel physically so much stronger and I’m now much less anxious because I don’t feel my heart struggling anymore. What a weight you’ve lifted. I truly can’t thank you enough. Keep up the good work. You are heaven sent.”

Stress Restructuring & Workshops
This letter is to support the application of Rod Kelly as a teacher, educator, and group facilitator. I believe he would make a very valuable contribution to the students and faculty at The Graduate Institute.
I have know Rod for several years through the connection of the Lotus Network of complimentary health practices. He is a skillful and compassionate human who is sensitive to the needs of his clients. I have personally witnessed his work in hypnosis and its direct effect on anxiety.
Rod and I have partnered in the development of an audio CD called,”Hypnosis for Dental Anxiety”. I have been using this program in my private dental office for the past two years with great success. Many clients are searching for a long lasting solution to their fears about the dentist.
I find that Rod is a pool of personal knowledge and has the willingness to share his life’s story. He is a responsible business person. I find that Rod will always keep his word and lives his life with integrity.
I offer this recommendation without hesitation. He will be a valuable contribution to your teaching institute.
Jack M. Levine DDS
Thank you Rod. By far your seminar was the best I attended! And I did the mantra last night… and even in class I felt an energy shift, I just want to thank you. I know I have a lot of work to do spiritually. I would love to go to the open house on Sunday.
Roxanne P.
“Rod was very personable and spoke clearly and without notes for two hours. Personal anecdotes and stories from his practice kept the pace lively and interesting.”
Robin
I just saw Rod and he is helping me with turning stress and anxiety into positive and motivating emotions. I’ve been doing really well and have been so motivated since our session! The mantra I use before bed is really a driving force and I am so thankful he is such a good teacher!.
Rubi
Hi Rod, Thanks so much for reaching out. Perfect timing, as my mom and I had just recently completed our 21st night of reciting your mantra before bed.
I honestly HAVE noticed a change in myself – when I look back at a day and realize in retrospect that I made calls I would have typically been quite nervous to make, or that I didn’t worry for days about an upcoming appointment in the same way I usually would have.
I also recently finished reading your book (“Connecting the Earth, Sky and You”) and absolutely loved it. I’ve begun incorporating your “3 Minutes to Wellness” into my morning routine. I like that you validated many things I already believed to be true, and even things I have tried to explain to other people… it was great to have it all summarized neatly in one place.
I’ve actually given your contact information to a few people already and recommended they connect with you. My next plan is to get my husband to read your book!
Have a great day, and Thanks again for a positively life-altering experience,
Karen Spinelli
“Rod I have to thank you again. Every night I do my homework and every day I wake up I find myself taking on challenges that would have normally stressed me out I’m content, relaxed, happy! I never thought this could be the result of such exercises. It’s truly is an experienced I’m grateful to have had. Thank you again!”
Travis
Rod Kelly taught me a few basic meditation and stress management techniques that have totally changed my approach to work and life in general. After thirty years spent merely enduring a high-stress occupation, I now utilize on a daily basis the training he gave me to actually enjoy and surmount the challenges I face, and am finding both increasing success in my professional endeavors and a deep spiritual satisfaction in my personal relationships as a direct result of the help Rod gave me. Thank you, Rod!…
Pat Z
Just to touch base with you and let you know that since attending your seminar on Stress Management at the gym I have followed your advice each week and feel good! Your advice helped me let go of things I cannot control. The meditation/self hypnosis has helped me relax each evening and I fall asleep much more quickly. AND an added bonus is that my blood pressure has been lower for the last 4 weeks.
Colleen Bell
Hi Rod, I wanted to thank you for your help in losing weight I have been carrying around for years. Since our last meeting in April, I have lost 50 pounds and am still losing. I wanted to thank you for opening my mind and allowing my higher self to help me remove whatever block was holding me back. I would highly suggest anyone who is having trouble losing weight to use your weight loss hypnosis method. It took work both physical (walking) and dietary (clean eating, no processed foods and all organic) I but I believe that the hypnosis was instrumental in helping me be more open to the changes I needed to make. I will keep you posted on how things are progressing…
Kate Simpson
I highly regard Rod Kelly for the empowerment he has given me in my present life’s journey of living at peace within myself and to enhance other around me. May God keep reminding me that people who are in my presence are gifts that I can experience and even other can also.
Pat Gooderham
Mr. Kelly put on an excellent seminar that was well attended. He presented the information in a professional manner that was easy to understand. Mr. Kelly taught the group several techniques to relieve stress and everyone left feeling calm and relaxed. Everyone who attended thoroughly enjoyed the seminar and look forward to attending another.

Hello Rod
A note to let you know that in the last six weeks since I met you and started the routine of “Every day in every way” that I feel so much calmer and more optimistic about my life that I am surprised everyone is not on to this yet. I have set aside a time for my routine that is for me only, and it revitalizes me more than I can say. I fall asleep quickly and effortlessly, and I wake up very refreshed. So thank you for exposing me to such an easy way to improve my life. Again, thank you.
Roxanne Armstrong
We learned a healing technique that I have been using twice a day since the workshop. As an energy healer myself I find that the technique raises and balances energy levels just as promised (“guaranteed” by Rod).
I would recommend this workshop to anybody interested in feeling healthy and energetic.

Eliminating Fear & Self-Esteem Issues
Rod I have great news that I want to share with you. In the past, I have been completely unnerved when addressing a large group of people. Last year, for example at an awards assembly at school, I was noticeably shaking when speaking in front of the student body. It was uncontrollable and worsening as each minute passed while on stage. This has always been my reaction no matter what I told myself. That is until today. It was necessary for me to introduce a performer, again in front of the entire student body (close to 500 people). Not an issue at all! It was weird. I was in total control and even felt extremely comfortable. After the I was eager to stand up and address the audience in order to close the program. It is such a wonderful feeling to have this new-found confidence. Thank you again for your help.
Marge Becker
I was worried about having a molar extracted. I learned the mantra ‘whenever I go to the…” I literally felt no anxiety at all going to the appointment. It was a peaceful, lovely experience and I even healed much faster than the norm. I am a psychotherapist and can see the use of this technique for anyone experiencing anxiety in general.”
Doran Ward MAAT, LPC, Fellowship Place
“I am so grateful that I decided to your hypnotherapy sessions. I can honestly say without a doubt that I have made huge changes in my life because of my sessions with you. I am confident enough to say what I need without worrying about the outcome. You taught me to meditate every morning and every evening before I head off to bed and I know that its is making a positive difference in my life. My bad days don’t last as long and I don’t have as many of them. Yesterday seemed like I might not survive today, but in fact, after talking to you and applying what you said, today was fantastic.All is well in my world. When I felt overwhelmed …I calmed myself by breathing and repeating quietly… “Every time I see the color yellow it reminds me that I am strong and confident and in control.”. Before I knew it … I felt better… I actually felt stronger and confident and in control.
Many, many thanks for all your wisdom. I look forward to learning more about me with your direction.”
Heather M.
Thank you for the amazing experience of your guided meditation, helping both my mother and I connect to the calm confidence of our own higher selves, despite the stress around us. I especially like how you point out the importance of our ability to focus on simplicity and tuning into our own inner guidance. You are a gifted healer and I thank synchronicity for connecting our paths.

Working with Cancer
“I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for pointing me in the direction of my healing. Your words have moved me in amazing ways! I am thankful, and doing really well.
Karen Doherty
“I have known Rod Kelly for over 10 years. As an individual, skilled in hypnotherapy, he has had considerable success in helping patients cope with pain, improve their mind-body image, and increase their wellness. Together we have worked out a plan whereby Mr. Kelly will consult on our patients’ undergoing open heart surgery.
Having known Rod previously I can vouch for his honesty, character, and compassion. I am fortunate to have him as my friend and glad he offered to help us with our patients.”

“You showed me how to maintain a positive attitude about healing myself. Rod, you convinced me that I can cure my cancer and become healthy again. I am a firm believer in the healing powers of Rod Kelly. My cancer is disappearing and I am becoming healthy again.”
Albert B.
I am currently going through radiation for cancer in my lymph glands in my mouth. Rod taught me meditation and exercise and to think positively this has helped me sail through my treatment. My last session was today. Thank you.
Emily Mulgrew
Rod, I cannot thank you enough. For days I have been feeling beyond sick (undergoing chemo treatments), complete lack of any energy, short of breath at times like I was just hanging on, limp and pretty lifeless except for lots of GI upset.
This afternoon I walked into the TV room and suddenly realized I felt well???, I suddenly had energy!!! And the GI upset was gone!!! I didn’t know what was going on. I just didn’t understand and then I got your text and you told me what you had just done for me!!!
I am so amazed and grateful for your ability to send that wonderful healing energy across the miles. I cannot thank you enough! Amazing! This morning I am feeling well too. Thank You.
Debbie- Philadelphia
Hi Rod,
I wanted to let you know that I am doing better. My back is a lot better. My right hip is a little better. I would say they‘re down to a 2 or 3 on the pain scale.
Thanks Rod.
