Be Who You Want To Be! Live How You Want To Live!
Jon Mercer, MA is a Certified Master Practitioner of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP). Jon uses a variety of modern behavioral techniques including hypnotic states, guided imagery, "slight of tongue" and timeline work to re-organize your neural pathways and embed your subconscious with a lasting self-image of personal power, wellness and success. A master at teaching complicated techniques in a very "user friendly" and fun way, Jon will get you excited about your life again, giving you tools that allow you to take back control of your life, eliminate anxiety and fear, live confidently and achieve your highest ambitions.
"You can achieve practically anything you want in life, but first you have to get out of your own way" -Jon Mercer
Believe it or not, your natural state is calm, organized, prosperous, successful, confident and charming. Anything else is a learned behavioral characteristic. In fact, human beings actually have to go out of their way to experience anything other than these positive attributes. Unfortunately, many of us do just that. And usually, it's because we are "stuck" somewhere in our past...
The most common stumbling block for 95% of my clients is what has happened (or who they have been) in the past. "I've always been like this," and "that's just who I am" are comments I often hear when beginning to work with a new client. But those old excuses never last long!
Here's the truth: your past is gone. It doesn't exist anymore. You can't touch it, point to it, measure it or see it. In fact, you couldn't prove it existed in a court of law if your life depended on it. So why let such a flimsy, imaginary notion control your life right now? It's my job to see to it that you don't, and I take that responsibility very seriously (while still keeping things relaxed and fun).

Breaking Free From Your Past!
Anxiety, low self-esteem, "scattered" thinking, poor work habits, focusing on lack, settling for less than you deserve, distorted body image: all of these thought habits are learned. Just like everyone else, you learned to behave and think in a certain way. Perhaps it was a way that even benefited you at some point in your life (as a child maybe?). But continuing to think and behave according to these same mental habits as an adult can be a recipe for disaster and underachievement.
There is absolutely no reason you have to remain "locked" in old habits that are no longer serving you. You can learn new patterns of thought as easily as you can learn to play dominoes or make lasagna. "Right thinking" is a skill which can be taught. And it's the key to starting your NEW life.
I've coached hundreds of people over the years -- people who have made incredible positive changes in their lives, from overcoming anxiety and panic attacks, to removing subconscious blocks preventing success in business or relationships. Once the core issue has been identified, we begin training on the tools to change it . But we don't just eliminate the old mindset that caused all the trouble. We will actually replace it with one that will take you where YOU really want to go. Out with the old -- in with the new!
I use a variety of techniques, particularly from positive psychology, behaviorism, NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming), hypnotic states, visualization and many others. Everything is fair game -- I'll "throw the kitchen sink at you" if necessary. =) Whatever it takes to achieve our mutual goal: make a lasting change in your thinking that opens new possibilities for success and happiness, in every area of your life!

"Amazing Results!"
"My wife worked with Jon 2years ago for intense fear of flying. A few weeks later she got on a plane for the first time in 10 years and flew roundtrip Baltimore to Seattle completely alone. I was shocked how much Jon helped her, so when I started having business problems this year and a negative attitude about my financial situation I gave hm a try too. I was skeptical first but I can honestly say Jon get's amazing results! Even after the first 90min session i was buzzing with new ideas and optimistic about business and life again. Did 3 follow up sessions after that and my attitude changed a lot.Business is good now and getting better and its all because I'm seeing more and more opportunities everywhere I look. I have recommended many business clients to Jon--he is THE MAN when it comes to changing how you see the world, yourself, everything!"
-- Andrew Collins, Richmond, VA
"This guy can seriously change your life"
"I contacted Jon about a bad social anxiety problem that had made me practically a shut in at only 36. I had heard he was really good at helping anxiety problems, that turned out to be an understatement! Seeing Jon was best thing could have done.I improved about 50% in the first two weeks and it just got better from there. I'm still a little shy sometimes but I feel really comfortable with that and I no longer spend every day and night couped up in the house. This guy can seriously change your life and make you see things in a better way. I'm your biggest fan Jon!"
-- Mary Sweat, Roswell, GA
"I couldn't have done any of this without Jons help!"
"Last year I found myself at 47 years of age divorced and no idea what to do with my life. Jons coaching really lit a fire in me to make some big changes and that is what I've done. I bought a run down business and made it profitable. This year Im expanding to new locations, so business is good. My personal life is better and I have a good relationship with my kids now. Even become friends with my ex, which I thought was impossible when Jon first talked about it. I couldn't have done any of this without Jons help! I went to him for business money problems but he ended up helping me live a better life and find some much deserved happiness. Thats the honest truth. You're awesome Jon!"
-- S. J. Wicks, New South Wales, Australia
"I wish I had contacted you earlier..."
"I was having confidence problems and low self esteem after my marriage broke up. It was so bad I felt like I was worthless at the time and had no real future. Jon was pretty hard on me in beginning and I know why. my attitude was awful! But he was also patient. He helped me see things in a different way. The hypnotic NLP sessions we did made so much difference. I woke up the day after the first one and everything just seemed different. hard to explain why, it was just better, and I felt better about me. I wish i had contacted you earlier Jon. I would have been much happier over the last couple years, but at least I'm happy now. You are the best at what you do Jon so keep on helping people!"
Megan Ernst, St Paul, Minnesota
"JON made this possible for me"
"If like I was, you are living with anxiety of any sort I can only give you one message. Contact JON today. I spent years living on pills which had no effect at all (except maybe to make me worse) I tried ordinary hypnotherapy and whilst that helped I still lived everyday with the issue of my anxiety.
I was petrified of driving my car or of being a passenger, even the thought of getting in my car was so powerful I would feel physically sick and dizzy. I had to rely on someone else to take me anywhere but as I was such a nervous passenger this made the drive daunting for anyone who took me anywhere.
I decided to go on JON’s course and that was the best decision I had made in a very long time. Within the first weeks session JON had got me really thinking about how I could overcome my fear, By week 2 he had helped me to gain more confidence in myself as a person and as a driver. Week 3 and I was now taking the car out on small journeys and by week 4 I was even doing a small drive on my own. If someone had said to me 5 weeks ago I would be able to do this there is no way I would have believed them! but JON made this possible for me. He can help you too.
So please be assured this is a TRUE testament to JON and what he did for me to change my life back into the right direction. I want to say a really big THANK YOU JON I will never forget what you have done for me and I hope anyone who reads this contacts you."

-- Karina W, London, Ontario, Canada
"Those hypnotic stories really knocked me out Jon! Later I felt strangely calm like everything had always been good and I was just now realizing it. Sounds weird haha, but it was like magic except real. 6 months later I'm still doing great. Thanks Jon so much for all your help. You are the man!"
-- Karen Evans-Tilson, Winter Haven, Florida
First things first. Jon isn't cheap least not for my budget-but i guess thats just supply and demand because as he is brilliant at what he does. I had two coching calls and I felt about 10x better about my social anxiety at school and work. he did a weird hypnotic tory in our 2 session that seemed like to make little difference at the time. but i still think about that story and it somehow makes sense and keeps me on the right track. Hard to explain, but trust me he is worth every pound euro or dollar.
Martin Cohen, Brighton, UK
"Jon is a magician with his words and techniques, but he's a regular guy that you can just talk to. I was surprised how quickly he cut through the emotional static to uncover my real goals and what was holding me back. I'm on track now to have the best year of my life thanks to Jon's help. He always calls everybody else awesome but truth is HE is the AWESOME one"
-- Chris B, Harrisburg, PA
"I made a decision this year to finally do something about my agoraphobia and hypochondria and I heard Jon was the best person to call so I gave him a try. Long story short, I'm back to work no longer trapped at home like a prisoner. He even helped me with a specific phobia I had from childhood. I've nearly forgotten about it these days. Jon is the best!"
-- Carol Fineman, Lyndhurst, NY
"I had coaching with Mr Mercer 5 weeks last year about financial matters. I can attest to both his skill and patience and I have never experienced such a radical change in my mood and outlook. 100 percent positive experience. Highly recommended!"
-- Marc W. Egan, Manchester, UK
"I was shocked how normal and cool Jon is considering his skill level and notoriety. Jon called me twice just to check on my progress when he wasn't on the clock or even getting paid for it. And he allowed me call him when I was on vacation for a calm down session (which worked great by the way Jon). He truly is a one of a kind guy and the best coach out there.
Stephen Albertsen, Des Moines, Iowa
"Here is all you need to know. I have had SEVERE driving phobia a long time, but Jon got me behind the wheel of a car for the first time in 5 years. I drive every day now , no problems. Plus he calls me awesome so much that im starting to believe it too. hehee!"
-- Serena K, Watertown, Connecticut
"Jon is the best life coach out there. That's just being serious. Hes Funny and smart and makes you understand and feel you can do anything. I am so much better now no one would recognize the old me lol! The low self esteem problems are gone, but if I needed some extra help sometime I would call him again in 1 sec!"
-- Metti Adjad, Shreveport, Louisiana
"OK, Jon is getting to be quite well known these days and not really in range I can afford. but I did one session with him in 07 when his rates were lower and all I can say is fantastic! We worked on a specific phobia, and eliminated 90% of it in about an hr. Highly recommend coaching with him if you get a chance."
-- Mari Velman, Augusta, Georgia
"Our first call Jon put a "spell "on me with an nlp technique. he told me he was doing it and the positive result it would have but I though it was kind of silly. By the time we had the second call my attitude was very different , very much better but I didn't know why. It just seemed like my normal self in a way. By the third call I was doing things and approaching people like a big time socialite and I have NEVER been like that before! This experience changed my whole life. Thank you so much dude I mean that. Contact him right now if you have any social anxiety or shyness like I did. He will change your whole world."
