Mark Patrick Seminars has a rating of 4.0 stars from 480 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally satisfied with their purchases. Reviewers satisfied with Mark Patrick Seminars most frequently mention weight loss, non smoker, and great job. Mark Patrick Seminars ranks 3rd among Weight Loss sites.
This was a seminar discussing how to lose weight using hypnosis and good eating habits. The speaker took the time to explain the physiology of weight loss, without getting too technical. He explained how hypnosis and the use of the "vitamins" he was selling would help people lose weight. He made it a point to say that the hypnosis and good eating habits would work WITHOUT the vitamins, but that the vitamins would accelerate the fat loss process. I decided to give his products a chance, so I purchased a 7 month supply. I'm hoping to be a success story.
I was considering paying for both the weight loss and smoking seminars. After reading hundreds of reviews, most of which were negative! I just want to tell everyone that you can listen to several different hypnosis and meditation videos on YouTube for free, they have ones covering everything from weight loss, smoking, procrastination, anxiety and more. I personally listen to sleep hypnosis videos every night to help me fall asleep quickly. I believe this product is a scam from everything I've read so far, I would rather listen to free videos every night to slowly change my mentally over time then lose $50-$500.
Very informative and insightful seminar. Would definitely recommend to others. Would have been nice to know about possiblenextra charges before showing up to possibly prepare better.
Larry was very personable and extremely engaging. He keeps the audience attention with laughter mixed in. I would go to another one of these gatherings for sure.
I went for the weight loss seminar and I've never done anything like this before it was very inspiring. Looking forward to positive changes in my life.
Hi Geena,
This is Jennifer from Mark Patrick Seminars' customer care team. Thank you for complimenting the program the way you did. We take great pride in what we do and though we are confident that we are “doing it right” it’s always nice to get reinforcement.
At this point, it’s not just great to hear how happy you are with the program and the success you’re having, what’s really much more important to us is your “long-term success” though likely with other programs you haven’t had long-term success with hypnosis it really should be significantly different, because for the first time we address all the psychological programming that’s been making you behave in a way that’s averse to losing weight.
The programs such as: “clean your plate starving children in Africa” or “clean your plate and then you get a treat” and so many others programed often as little children have now been replaced with hypnosis. It’s because of this that you can expect probably for the first-time long-term success.
Please over the next 10 years give us some additional feedback as to how you're keeping the weight off once you reach your goal.
Thanks once again for the feedback.
Kind regards,
Mark Patrick Customer Care Team
Of course Mark Patrick doesn't actually host the seminars, at least not mine. Mine was hosted by someone named Pat, I believe, and this was on January 27,2019 at 2PM in Beachwood. I have given this review to the company directly. They responded telling me they were trying to reach the many and why they cover "nutrients" the email from them doesn't mention the vitamins they're selling. I was not offered a refund for anything. It was clear they only want compliments. This is a total scam.
The majority of the 2 hours was used as a sales pitch to buy vitamins he only had "a few" left of. The sales pitch lasted 45 minutes. The actual "hypnosis" was not hypnosis. It was a relaxation exercise where he told us smoking is bad for us, pronounced "painful" in an odd way, and put in some brief aversion therapy by telling us to imagine licking an ashtray if we ever smoked again. The "hypnosis" lasted, he claimed 29 minutes, my phone said it was 35 minutes. He asked leading questions to get the attendees to agree they were "hypnotized" for only 10 minutes or so as "proof" they were hypnotized.
We also had a 15 minute break to smoke and to buy vitamins. And the seminar started at 2:15 to give the people that were late a chance to get there (no one got there after 1:50). Also, Pat is a fast talking man from NJ, he barely slowed down during the "hypnosis" and we weren't allowed to ask questions because he's answer them eventually.
It's a scam. I'll report this everywhere I can.
Hi Sara,
Thank you for attending the seminar and sorry about the misunderstanding of believing you have to buy the supplements in order to be successful. I hope that makes sense to you, but keep in mind, we offer one year money back guarantee with this program whether you buy the supplements or not, so it’s the program that we believe in. Have you ever gone to your doctor and they offered you a one year money back guarantee if what they did to you did not work? We really do stand behind this program, we also come back to each area 2 to 3 times per year on average and in addition to the money back guarantee we give you a lifetime guarantee to attend any program again should you ever start smoking again or need reinforcement or it didn’t work the first time. Think about that, it doesn’t get much fairer than that, does it?
On the other hand, do we think that the supplements are important? Absolutely! Why? Because… smoking is both of physiological and psychological challenge. Let me explain, first the psychological, how often do you go even a few hours without having a cigarette and then other times such as: coffee break, stress, get into car, having a drink etc. in turn cause you (trigger) to often have one cigarette after another? All the time, right? So psychologically certain things trigger you to have a cigarette the hypnosis is designed to break or disconnect that connection, that trigger.
Physiologically, there are also physical triggers. Very different than the psychological (mental) but it’s really important to address the physical as well because otherwise the physiological trigger can overwhelm the psychological. Now, many people find that the hypnosis is all that they need but we’ve designed the program to address the many and when you think about it, after the thousands maybe even $10,000 that you spend per year for cigarettes it’s probably best that we design a program that addresses all the issues even if the cost a bit more.
We're really sorry the seminar did not work for you as we hoped. A member from our customer support team has already sent you an email with refund instructions. If you need any help, please feel free to contact our customer support department at 609-660-8844 M-F 9am-6pm EST and Saturday 9am-5pm EST.
Kind regards,

I wasn't sure if this was a scam or not so I tried it. I walked out at the end of the night with a positive outlook on becoming a nonsmoker. I will go again.
I enjoyed the seminar. Learned alot about the science of dieting and the importance of making wise decisions about nutrition. Hoping the hypnosis will give me the edge to meet my weight loss goal.

This is the second time I've been hypnotized. The first was 13 years ago, to quit smoking and the second was August 20, to lose weight. Both successful, I'm down 24lbs and a nonsmoker for 13 years.
The weight loss seminar in Ptttsfield was wonderful. Pat was real and made everything easy to comprehend and apply. I'm on the right path to heath and happiness.

I was a great seminar but it didn't work for me to quit smoking I'm not saying it's their fault cause I have a hearing problem so it might work if I try it one on one instead of a group hypnosis
Hi James,
We're sorry to hear that you were still smoking let me explain what we do in this case. We have of “whatever it takes” commitment to our attendees.
Providing that you have a sincere desire to stop smoking we have this truly remarkable guarantee. Think about this a moment, have you ever gone to the doctor and they said to you “this treatment is guaranteed or you can get your money back!” … And their treatments are in the hundreds of thousands and tens of thousands of dollars, aren’t they?
Our “whatever it takes commitment”: first we have a one-year coaching program that free with the program to help either keep you from smoking cigarettes or should you start again to get you ready to be smoke-free for life. Second, we come back to each area 2 to 3 times per year and we offer you a lifetime membership to any one of our seminars should you ever need reinforcement, or should you start again or should not work the first time. Third, if none of those work, you can get your money back up to one year after the program! I think you could see, we stand behind this program and it’s really your best chance, once again providing that sincerely want to stop, to never smoke again.
Kind regards,

I was at the weight loss seminar in Utica. Pat was real, informative and professional. I am confident I am losing the weight because this seminar was different than anything I have ever tried.

Hi Suzanne,
Thank you for your feedback about the seminar, we take this program and what we do as an incredible honor to save people’s lives.
Smoking, as you know is a challenging thing to overcome, however with the “magic of hypnosis” it really makes it so much simpler. As you discovered, because, hypnosis addresses all the different activities that “trigger” you to have a cigarette, once, eliminated using hypnosis, quitting is made much simpler.
We would like to also suggest that you don’t get too confident and participate in our free one year coaching program just simply read the emails that you get weekly with tips on stopping smoking and staying a non-smoker. The free coaching is there for insurance purposes and only takes about five minutes per week, not a bad investment, is it? Five minutes a week, just to make sure you remain a happy healthy very attractive lifelong non-smoker!
Kind regards,

Very informative and entertaining. Experience had value as a mindfulness exercise, unfortunately not much else. Best of luck to everyone who tries. Hope it works for you.

It’s difficult to distinguish between meditation and hypnosis, meditation induction, in fact, is often very similar to hypnosis induction because after all at the beginning of either session the objective is the same “relaxation” where they vary is meditation focuses on relaxation throughout the whole session even after induction but hypnosis after the induction incorporates what’s called “the language of the subconscious mind” also known as suggestions.

Enjoyed his energy. Time went by fast. He zoned in on areas I have my biggest issues. I left the class more relaxed than when I entered it.

I had read the reviews and research Mark Patrick seminars and had some reservation about the program, but it was a positive experience and I don't regret the time or the money spent.
Larry was very nice funny and informative. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to stop smoking
I go every time Mark Patrick Seminars comes through town. I like to be reminded of all the information and being hypnotized again is going to work this time. 4th time is a charm.
I know it works because it worked for my son and I both. As soon as we left the building and got in the car! I instantly smelled the horrible car ashtray and threw it in the garbage. The power of suggestion is incredible. We both quit for several months but sorry to say it just took 1 to start again.
I went 2nd time in March of 2019. Sorry to say I didn't get much out of that. In the back with a loud cooler, and I was in a lot of pain. But not your fault.
3rd time was recently. Very friendly professional every time. I was smart and sat in the front this time and could hear perfectly and comfortable in my wheelchair.The seminar was great and I don't remember the rest. I can tell you I sure woke up disappointed after being hypnotized to sleep. I must have been too comfortable.
So keep your eye out for the lady in Lake County in the front row with her wheelchair and oxygen who will keep trying.
See you next time!

Can't wait to see him again. You learn a lot and get to have some laughs, He is very friendly. I enjoyed going through the semester.
I think this is more about supplements and self care than hypnosis but I'm still glad I went. Time will tell if it works.
