” I have just listened for the very first time to Susie Mantell’s “Your Present: A Half-Hour of Peace” CD. I am a Psychotherapist by trade and I am always looking for materials and aids for my clients. Without a doubt this is the finest, most useful CD I have ever heard. Ms. Mantell’s soft soothing voice takes you away from all the hubbub of life and transports you inward to discover your authentic self. She introduces you to the inner power you possess to not only escape negativity, but to begin to create a whole new reality filled with hope. For this, I say “Thank You.” I shall visit there again and again.”

“I am a two-year brain cancer survivor. I have gone through two brain surgeries, 25 days of radiation, and now on Chemotherapy. I was consumed with fatigue that was preventing me from having a good quality of life. The first time I listened to your CD, it had an immediate impact. Your tone of voice and clear message has helped me tremendously. I have shared this small miracle with many, and they all have experienced similar success. May God Bless you always, and continue to give you the wisdom and ability to help so many others”

“I don’t know how I can possibly describe not only Susie Mantell’s voice, but the effect of her voice. It’s incredible. Her words of her narration are equally incredible. All my stress centralizes in my neck and shoulders. I remember one of my last thoughts before drifting off was “all the tension in my neck and shoulders is gone!” Before I was even aware of it, I was asleep. My thanks to Susie for her insight and talent to be able to produce such an extraordinary journey.”

“Christmas Eve I had surgery for a crushed disc after an accident. I was in incredible pain. When I had the surgery, I took the CD to the hospital and began listening to it in the recovery room and then in my hospital room. During my recovery, I continued to listen to it. The doctor said the disc was the worst he had seen and recommended I take off two months. Well, I went back to work part time on December 29, feeling great and working full time since Jan 2. I think your CD had a lot to do with my healing, and I still go to sleep with it every night. (I am in my fifties, so it sure was not my youth that caused the quick recovery!)”
Judith S.

“I wanted to let other people know how much I enjoy the CD. Every time I start to listen, I drift off to sleep. This CD is the best thing I have ever used to relieve stress and has worked like a miracle to help me relax!”
Jerry W., Shreveport, LA

Caroline A., MA

“This program takes you where no mere slumber can. Five stars!”
Michael R., Japan

“I enjoy your CD almost every night. But I’ve never heard the whole thing! I always fall asleep in about 5-7 minutes. Your voice is so very soothing and it seems that it always addresses for me what I needed to hear that day. I wanted to thank you for the help in finding some Peace in my very stressful life”
L. De Marco

“This tape is such a relief! There’s something unique about Susie Mantell’s voice that I really bond with… so reassuring. My favorite time to listen to it is in bed. It really helps me drift off.”
