"Dr. Silverstein works well with teenagers. She worked with my teenage nephew and was able to activate his mind-spirit to perform any task with confidence, diligence, positive thinking, and to prepare an outcome for success. I believe that any teenager would be so helped and made to feel important, worthy, and cared about, and the skills provided would stay in the minds and be a source of help and remediation through their entire life."

- Margaret Emerito, RN, School Nurse

"There are Wonders in the Universe, and if you believe, they will start to work in your life, so that Insight, Love and Beauty will unfold. For me, Christine Silverstein, you are one such Wonder! I feel blessed for knowing and learning through you, the deeper meaning of that which we call everyday life. You connect the physical experience with the mental outlook and information to underlying emotional sensitivities, to awaken our spirit. This awareness makes my life vibrant and potent and enriches my Art."

- Elizabeth Kalfayan, Professional Cellist

"Thank you so much for everything. I so appreciate your generosity with your time—It means a lot when I’m having such a hard time. I have so many wonderful tools you’ve given me. What I need to improve is allowing myself to stop where I am at times and do them (specifically, deep breathing)!"

- Jeanne B., Writer/Illustrator

"I would like to thank you for taking the time to discuss your methods for enhancing performance. As one of the coaches of Bridgewater wrestling, I feel these techniques could provide some benefits to the kids in my program. I’ve told several parents in my program and there was some real interest."

- R. Noble, High School Wrestling Coach

"Just sending an update to let you know how this season turned out. I finished 22-12, doubling last year’s wins. I took 5th/6th in the Regionals after not even placing in the Districts last year. My improvements have not just been on the wrestling mat but also in school too. All my teachers have recommended me to take honors classes. I have grown so much as a wrestler and as a person and I would like to thank you very much for teaching me how to use my mind to achieve anything. "

- Tyler K., High School Wrestler

"Just wanted to touch base with you about Josh’s progress during the football season. Our team placed 2nd at States and Josh was our middle linebacker and fullback. He had a very good season since he worked with you. Josh led the team in tackles and was a great blocker on offense. The mental program he developed with you has definitely made a positive difference in Josh’s performance. In the championship game our team was a heavy favorite. In the first half, we had some adversity to overcome and almost every player mentally collapsed in the second half…The exception was Josh! He stood out in the 2nd half being aggressive and making plays. I saw the difference. "

- Steve K., High School Football Coach, WI

"We want to sincerely thank you for your presentation at our NHSA Coaches Clinic. Your presentation and demonstrations indicate that you have a comprehensive plan for your subject and it was very easy for the coaches to understand. Having been involved in the USA Wrestling Sport Science clinics for the past twenty years, I have come to appreciate the values of goal setting, visualization and relaxation techniques. "

- Al Bevilacqua, National High School Coaches Association

"My time with Dr. Silverstein was a mind-opening experience that led to the realization of myself as a person and as a player. The skills that were learned during my sessions can be applied not only to the basketball court but to daily life. I enjoyed each session, as with each one, I took a step toward personal improvement. I highly recommend Dr. Silverstein to anyone who is looking for an avenue to peak performance."

- Ralph D., College Basketball Player 

"I was struggling to crack the [HS} lineup…decided to commit to the program [Winning Ways for Wrestlers]100%. The positive images I focused on began to integrate themselves into the core beliefs I held about myself. I pinned my way to the BCAA county final and finished 2nd…I competed closely with the top guys at the state tournament. I returned to work with Dr. Silverstein to focus on mental toughness to improve my SAT scores and was accepted in the Merchant Marine Academy. I graduated Cum Laude with a degree in Marine Engineering and finished 5th at the NCAA Eastern Regionals. The next time I returned to Dr. Silverstein I focused on what I needed to do to be successful. I worked on mental techniques to overcome anxieties I felt in the workplace and I also worked on ways to enjoy life at sea. The success I have achieved using mental tools I learned is incredible.  "

- Michael Maye, Wrestler, Marine Engineer

"Blair Academy started ‘playing around’ with hypnotism in the md-1990s, according to coach, Jeff Buxton. [Student-athletes] started sessions with Dr. Silverstein after being convinced they could improve. ‘They reacted to it very well, almost right away,’ Buxton says. ‘I think every kid needs a little help here or there, whether it’s the coach talking to him or [a hypnotist] putting him in the exact same routine every time."
