"I smoked heavily for 30 years. Then, although I quit 18 years ago, I was diagnosed with emphysema in 2004. It was recommended that I be on oxygen 24/7. I was wedded to my oxygen generator. I could hardly walk a block without rest. I couldn't climb a flight of stairs without pausing for breath. I decided to work with David Quigley. We worked together for 2 months. We discovered that it began at birth. We transformed my birth process and I received a new birth mother. Then we unravelled a number of episodes of emotional trauma where I stuffed emotions into my lungs. The result: I have now been diagnosed by a pulmonary specialist to be emphysema free. My children and I drove to the mountains recently and I hiked from one end to the other, with no problems. I'm now working out at a gym, without any breathing problems. David, your work and my inner guides, have saved my life."
Elinor Shultz, CHTHypnotherapy sessions with David Quigley at the Alchemy Institute are very intense and guaranteed to produce rapid and powerful change. Most sessions last two hours. You will not be rendered unconscious in the type of hypnosis I use. Instead you will feel deeply relaxed but in full control of your experience and will awake with full recollection of your experiences. Hypnosis is no more mysterious or difficult than meditation or daydreaming. The process of Alchemy is client centered; meaning that you will be exploring your own inner world under my direction, not simply listening to me read you a script of hypnotic suggestions. That's what makes our work uniquely powerful.

In addition to individual office sessions, there are three ways to experience the power of this transformative process.
First, the personal healing retreat program. Sessions done in my office include elements of personal rapport and intimacy in a face to face process that can include my use of supportive touch for work with physical pain and injury. A series of sessions, four to eight in a two to four day period can be interspersed with poolside rest or lovely walks in the park and meals in local restaurants, all within easy walking distance. Our Institute is located in a beautiful city (Santa Rosa, California) among vast parks, lakes, and mountains where the weather is mild and sunny almost year round. We are only one hour north of San Francisco with easy airport shuttle service and nearby hotel accommodations Ellie, whose miraculous recovery from emphysema is described above, flew in for a series of sessions as a kind of mini-vacation in which she could experience work in person with me and rest in the beautiful surroundings.
"This experience released a heaviness that had been laying on my heart for over 30 years. In the weeks since, my whole body has felt lighter and I can now express myself in the world with even greater ease. David Quigley led me through this experience with astute and insightful grace. I'm amazed at the depth this work can reach by phone!" More

More convenient are telephone sessions at (707) 539-4989. To experience an effective telephone session, a comfortable headset is recommended though not essential. You also will need to have a comfortable bed, couch, or chair in a room in which you can be assured of not being disturbed for two hours. A large pillow and a stuffed animal or small pillow for emotional process should both be beside you. Because these kinds of sessions are intense, it would best to have a few hours after each session to rest.
"I am an experienced client of hypnotherapy. My telephone session with David Quigley was the best session I have ever had. I worked in the comfort and safety of my own easy chair with only my normal neighborhood sounds and smells surrounding me. No difficult commute or parking. After the session I could relax and continue my process on my own without distractions of any kind. His voice was gentle, supportive, and patient and helped me do some surprisingly deep work. I recommend it to everyone interested in hypnosis, and I wish every hypnotherapist could have David's training in telephone work."
PatThe third way to experience this work is by joining a group healing program. Depending on your budget and your needs for healing, you may wish to take either our two week personal growth program or one of our two three day experiential programs, the Somatic Healing Class, or the Empowerment Intensive , each of which are offered at a number of locations nationwide. These highly experiential group process classes include important lectures about techniques you can use to help heal yourself and your family every day. They also include a chance to experience as many as 10 loving supporters working on you at once. There is nothing more powerful in my experience than all those loving supportive people working on me at one time! In all of these programs, kindness, respect and confidentiality are guaranteed. David Quigley, your leader, has almost 30 years of training and experience in group process. I am also available for private sessions before or during these experiential group journeys.
Commonly asked questions about the Alchemical Hypnosis process:
Why Alchemy? What is Alchemical Hypnotherapy about?
Many people have asked me why I call the work I do "Alchemy". The answer is simple: because Alchemy is the core of my work and is the secret of my own vitality. For over a thousand years Alchemists have taught secrets of longevity and health. In this article I will explain what that means. Most people think that the Alchemists were erroneous medieval experimenters trying to turn lead into gold. in fact, their main focus was the "Elixir of Immortality" - ie, the secrets of longevity. Read my article titled "Alchemy and the Secrets of Vitality and Health Part 1" and Part 2
How many sessions will it take to fix my problem?
"My 10-year-old son was traumatized by physical injury as an infant. As a result his walk was highly irregular, more like the waddle of a duck than a regular walk. After only one session of hypnotic movement with David Quigley, his walk was completely normal. It was hard to believe how one session could be so powerful. He also achieved excellent results with study habits and behavioral objectives."

It is never possible to guarantee complete satisfaction from a certain number of sessions. But my work is guaranteed to produce a visible shift in every session you experience. If you experience no change after three sessions, then I will not continue to work with you. I only work for people who are getting results. Several factors will determine your results with this work. If you are willing to enter your inner world, contact your inner resources, and learn to use them for a few minutes every day, then this work will be very fast. Most people who are capable of this kind of focus describe their results as miraculous and exceeding their expectations. Faith in your inner world, courage in facing the pain and trauma of your past, discipline to do these inner journeys each day, including visualizations and movement therapy, and determination to restore your health and happiness are the critical elements for this process to succeed for you. If, on the other hand, you want someone to put you to sleep and reprogram you, or if you want a quick fix like a pill to make your problem disappear, then you need to look elsewhere.
What is your training?
I have a degree (BA) from Duke University in Comparative Religion and Transpersonal Psychology, with a focus on Shamanism, Hinduism, and Spiritualism. I have extensive training in Gestalt therapy, Reichian therapy, clinical hypnosis, Ericksonian hypnosis, NLP, and group process facilitation. I am certified as a Hypnotherapist by the Hypnotherapy Training Institute of Corte Madera, California. I have logged over 400 hours of hypnosis instruction. I have 30 years experience as a hypnotherapist and trainer.
What are your specialties?
Cigarettes No Longer Needed with Newfound Joy and Security
"Experiencing the love and nurturing of my inner family and rescuing my inner child
has given me the source of joy and security which makes cigarettes obsolete in my life.
Now I see that they will never fill my need or protect me in the special way that my inner resources can do for me.
So it's easy and effortless now to be free of tobacco."
I have years of experience working with diseases like cancer and degenerative disease as an adjunct to medical treatment, especially in uncovering and healing the inner cause of these conditions. I also work with children and families with discipline or communication problems. I help with learning disabilities and academic achievement. Weight loss and smoking cessation are major specialties about which I have taught and practiced revolutionary new technologies, for 20+ years. I also have lots of experience with anxiety and panic attacks, chronic depression, and PTSD. Recovery from sexual and emotional abuse and childhood neglect are a big part of my practice. I also specialize in advanced methods of past life regression. To examine the full scope of the work I do go to my web library.
Are you a licensed therapist or Doctor?
Hypnotherapists are not licensed by any state. The practice of Hypnosis is not regulated in this way. But I am trained by a state approved School of Instruction in this field, and I am a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists, which upholds high standards of training and ethical conduct for hypnotherapists. Very few medical doctors or psychotherapists have as many hours of training or as much experience in the hypnosis field as I have accumulated.
"I had been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my right thumb and wrist and the surgeon had closed the book on me because I declined surgery. I was experiencing pain: I could not wrap my hand around a steering wheel to drive, nor write longhand, at times I could not hold a toothbrush to brush my teeth. I scheduled an appointment with David Quigley. We worked together for a couple of hours releasing the toxins that had built up in my system, then wiggling and moving the damaged areas, freeing them up from their painful, frozen positions. Afterwards, my inner healer cradled the area with warmth and color. The best part of this work was that I took all the information from that session home with me. David actually taught me how to heal myself! It took one session and I have been the master of healing my own pain ever since. If I start to feel the slightest pain, I utilize the stretches, imagery and healing energy he gave me that day and I am happy to say I am thrilled with the results."
Kristy ThompsonHow much do you charge?
I charge $200 for each two hour session. A four session package of retreat or phone sessions is available for $750. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so you can discover if my work can help you. I accept all major credit cards, but not insurance unless you make the arrangements. Most people find the cost of my work far less expensive in terms of results achieved than the co-payments of their usual medical treatments. Call (707) 539-4989 today to begin your healing journey.
