I was facing some steep challenges. I had just moved back to Toronto. I had started a new business. I had just lost my father to cancer and I wanted to give up smoking. I had been smoking 20 to 30 cigarettes a day (sometimes more) for 15 years. I decided there had to be a good way to quit. I spoke to my doctor and he recommended Lynton and Sanlyn Wellness Clinic. I was skeptical but had to be content with trying Lynton’s methodology, which included hypnotherapy. It wasn’t easy but it wasn’t that hard either. After about eight sessions, I quit pretty much cold turkey. 5 years later I am a non smoker. My family/friends marvel at how easy it was for me and how I did not, and do not, suffer from the usual withdrawals and cravings associated with this addiction. Thanks Lynton, it was worth every minute and every cent.

I was referred to Lynton for treatment of general anxiety disorder/depression from a co-worker; she had recommended him as a compassionate, highly intuitive therapist. After only one session I knew immediately I was on the path to recovery. Lynton has outstanding communication/listening skills and one feels at ease and safe sharing personal, often difficult information with him. My customized treatment plan utilized his extensive training in psychotherapy, chakra balancing, hypnosis, and also in visualization and relaxation techniques, which I can now apply in my daily life, eliminating the need for medications used for many years. With successful recovery, I have more energy, sleep better and have a more positive attitude. I am so grateful to have healed and would recommend Lynton and Sanlyn Wellness without hesitation to anyone.

My name is Marianne and I am a performing artist. I have suffered from severe anxiety disorder since I was young. The anxiety led to quite a few physical problems – chronic back pain, IBS, insomnia – all of which interfered with me being able to professionally sing to the best of my abilities. I was using chiropractors, acupuncturists, shiatsu practitioners and massage therapists on a regular basis and spending a small fortune, just to be able to function on the job. Last year I signed a contract, which I had never done before. My anxiety was taken to an elevated level. I read about Lynton and his qualifications and I just had a great feeling about him. Lynton helped me to relax with the hypnotherapy. He gave me exercises to do to change my thinking while I was on my own. I was impressed with the level of understanding and compassion I received from Lynton. I have to say that my encounter with him changed my life. Unlike other therapies, this one does not encourage dependence but rather independence and self reliance.

I went to Sanlyn Wellness to lose 30 lbs of weights. I was feeling miserable and upset that I had let myself reach 165 lbs. I did a 10 session Hypnotherapy Program to lose the weight that used Hypnosis suggestions and Psychotherapy to deal with the emotional eating issues.  I was also introduced to positive affirmation statements  to help increase my self esteem. I am 130lbs and feeling great about myself.  I can’t express enough how amazing the Centre is and how happy I am to have chosen it.

I was referred to Lynton at Sanlyn Wellness by a friend who overcame a phobia of subways. I was hesitant and skeptical even though my friend got better. I had a fear of flying. My anxiety levels were sky high, no pun intended. I could not travel with my wife, it was straining the relationship and it was affecting my progress in my career. I was amazed and surprised by the changes that I felt from the Hypnosis and Psychotherapy.  I am able to visit beaches on vacation, got a new job with some travel to the USA and my relationship is much better now. Thanks so much for all your help.

I found Sanlyn Wellness online through a search and was hesitant call. But from the moment I began speaking with Lynton I knew this was the right fit for me. He was patient, empathic, compassionate and actively listened to me. I was dealing with major issues around confidence and low self esteem. Lynton taught me many skills to overcome the fear. I am now a well rounded individual at work and in my personal life. For anyone thinking that hypnosis is a way out there therapy, it changed my beliefs. I am so excited to be living life fully again. Thanks.

Having gone to a number of therapists I was really hesitant. However, after my first visit was truly amazed with Lynton. He has the unique ability to listen, hear, recall and put the pieces of the story together in an amazing way. Lynton has changed my life! I am now able to manage my depression and anxiety. With Lynton's help I have been able to be much happier, successful and pursue life with greater purpose. Moreover, he has helped me deal and heal my relationship issues. Now, I have the confidence, the ability of obtaining and sustaining healthy relationships with myself and others.

From the moment I entered Sanlyn Wellness I felt welcomed. I was referred by a friend for energy/chakra healing after going through a bad breakup. Instead, I discovered much more in the form of a compassionate and caring energy practitioner, psychotherapist and hypnotherapist in Lynton. His years of experience made me feel confident that I would get through this hard time. Combining all three methodologies has me feeling much better. Truly healing is NOT about putting a band-aid on a wound, it is about healing it completely and Lynton is helping me do just that.

I went to Sanlyn Wellness to deal with self-esteem issues due to a bad relationship breakup with an ex girlfriend. I was feeling low, anxious and depressed as a result. Lynton helped me in ways that I can’t even begin to describe. Using hypnotherapy, psychotherapy and energy Therapy I got myself back into balance within a few months of intensive weekly therapy.
I must say that I had never experienced energy/chakra balancing therapy before and Lynton educated me on the benefits of how it could help my healing process. I would say to anyone looking for a relaxed calming therapist, Lynton is definitely the one.

I was referred to Lynton by a great friend. I knew I had to give this a chance as my anxiety has gotten the best of me. Upon arriving at the healing centre I felt very comfortable and felt I was in a safe place. Lynton explained the steps of the procedure and I knew this was something I wanted to try. It didn’t take long for me to start feeling more in control of the situation and soon enough I was given the tools to help me get through some rough times in my life. To this day I value and use the tools that Lynton had provided me. I would recommend Sanlyn Wellness to anyone that is ready to take that first important step to a healthy worth while life.

The services I received from Lynton Friedman were something I could have never imagined. He is truly a gifted healer. He was able to help me move through my breast cancer without me even telling him directly about it and how I was feeling. Surrounded by love and compassion, I was able to move through this dark area of my soul, freeing myself once and for all. Thank you.

My life's path has involved seeking out many disciplines and facilitators. My involvement with Sanlyn was a valuable experience, encompassing hypnosis, energy healing, group discussions, artistic expression and spiritual films, all of which helped me to maintain balance, calmess and a positive outlook to enhance my earthly and spiritual journey. Lynton is very gifted.

I was dealing with a major depressive episode and felt more alone and unsure of myself than I could ever have thought was possible. I had lost the plot completely and the world seemed a very dark, lonely place. Lynton passed me the torch of hope. He is a person who conducts his healing in the most caring, empathetic way. I had seen many therapists before Lynton, none of which came down to my level and reached out like they cared. Lynton Friedman cares and he has taught me a great deal through his unwavering dedication and kindness.

For Lynton’s patient and diligent handling of an otherwise illusive anxiety related problem, I wish to say Thanks so much for having the tenacity and gentle compassionate ethic to drill down to what should have otherwise been a long and bumpy road. I was referred to Sanlyn through a professional practitioner that take their clientele very seriously and I'm excited to say that going forward I can rest assured that any subtle maintenance required towards my well-being will be gladly be entrusted to Sanlyn.

My life has been filled with many hills and valleys. My last valley was very deep and I could not find my way out. I was becoming increasingly fatigued and isolated. Lynton was able to find me, help me heal and walk with me as I found the strength to climb my way out. I cannot thank Sanlyn Wellness and Lynton’s unique gifts for what they have done for me. I look forward to sharing many more of my life’s journeys with them.

At a time in my life when I felt the pit of darkness getting deeper and deeper, a light shone into that deep hole. Lynton Friedman, a caring and genuine practioner threw me a rope. Through his unique style of counseling he allowed me to take back my power. He opened my thinking to a number of possibilities and reached out to me at a level that I felt I was able to let go and trust again. My anger was out of control and with his compassionate approach, we worked together to reduce the degree of my pain to manageable levels. I am happy again. Thank you for bringing the light back into my life.
