The Hümmo Method™
Case Studies
“The cases continue to accumulate.” This is the ongoing record: accounts from people who ran the Method and told me what happened afterwards.
What these are, and what they are not.
These are first-hand accounts. People described what they experienced, in their own words, and I have reproduced them as they were given to me.
I am not going to dress that up into something it isn’t. There were no controlled trials here; no protocol, no control group, no way to rule out everything else going on in a person’s life at the time. What I can tell you is who said it, what they were dealing with, and what they reported afterwards. You can decide what that’s worth.
Which is the whole posture of this work, really. Relief before belief. Try it, notice what changes, and let your own experience be the evidence that counts.
Helen’s three.
My sister Helen took the online training as a self-described sceptic. I knew nothing about most of what she was carrying at the time; I invited her into the experiments and she went at it properly. These are her words, not mine.
Chronic Pain
“In 2016 I had a hysterectomy at the age of 60. Unfortunately, and without my previous consent or warning, the three doctors who attended to me decided to remove all the scar tissue from my three pregnancies.
The ensuing years produced torn stitches which never healed, two new prolapses and excruciating pain that came out of nowhere feeling like I was being knifed within. Follow-up appointments were useless.
For years I lived under the cloud of this pain that affected all aspects of my life - there were times I almost passed out on the toilet from the pain.
Being a skeptical person, I took the online training and had no expectations. I directed my first Hümmo exercise toward this area and the stabbing pains stopped and have not returned. It’s been a year now.”
Tinnitus
“In a second instance, I directed the healing Hümmo toward the tinnitus that I have suffered from for years.
That day I noticed no change, however, as I went to sleep, I repeated Hugh’s words aloud about it continuing to work its magic in sleep and dreaming. I woke up the next morning, and it was completely gone. It was gone for a long time but did come back off and on. Whenever it does come back, I do some deep breathing and Passive Hümmo stops it.”
Estrangement
“My third Hümmo healing has been the most powerful. It involves an emotional issue.
There had been a falling out with my daughter, who held on to a hurt from 20+ years ago and as a result there has been a significant chill between us. Over a two-year period since we were last together, I had been depressed, fretting, crying, self-medicating with food, as if a death had taken place. I guess I was mourning the relationship.
Very recently, I decided to send Hümmo to this situation and to my daughter as well.
I became at peace with the situation, the anxiety disappeared and I have forgiven myself for this hurt my daughter told me about.
I have forgiven my daughter as well for the alienation and hurt that I have suffered from this undisclosed devastating hurt she has made me aware of. I own it.
I can look in the mirror and smile again. I have also lost 19 pounds of sorrow and weight. My daughter has begun texting and has in the past week answered one of my many phone calls that would have gone ignored in the past.”

Patient zero.
Being both the originator and endlessly curious about how far this goes, I have run the Method on hundreds of issues; current, historical and anticipatory, emotional and physical. A good deal of that is documented in the book.
The ones that surprised me most were not the dramatic ones. They were the quiet structural things: self-worth, deservedness, the low hum of being afraid to put myself out there by publishing a book and calling myself the creator of a healing modality (like who do I think I am, right?). Issues that had held me back for years in ways I had stopped noticing.
None of them have withstood a solid Hümmo session. For that alone, I’m grateful.
More accounts.
Readers have been sending in their own. I haven’t edited these — they’re reproduced as submitted, in the words people chose to describe what happened.
“I have been the victim of narcissistic gaslighting for most of my life. The associated feelings of anger, powerlessness, frustration and feelings of abandonment have affected me for over 40 years. I applied The Hümmo Method™ to this really with no expectations at all.
To my shock, since then whenever the gaslighting occurs I am now entirely calm and see it for what it is with no feelings of anger or bitterness. It doesn’t affect me at all anymore, and while in the past even thinking of earlier incidents in my life would result in the same negative emotions, now it’s just something from my history - the emotions are entirely gone.
I did lots of research into narcissists and the impacts of their behaviour but it never occurred to me that I would one day be able to overcome it. The Hümmo Method™ was like a rebirth for me.
It has given me the opportunity to take my power back, rewire my brain, work on myself, heal & grow. I have started becoming my own person again.”

“Many years ago I was diagnosed with something called symptomatic ‘Tarlov Disease’. I won’t bore you with the details but it can be incredibly debilitating and painful especially if I hurt my back. Well I hurt my back last week which generally means at least a week (often more) on the sofa in a world of agony.
Although I didn’t feel like any sort of Hummo expert, I thought I’d give it a go and see what happened. So after one quick session, the pain had diminished by about a good 30%. I was shocked but wondered if I tried again could I make it even better? So I did and after the second time it was down by about 70%.
Hugh, I did it! Somehow in some miraculous way I helped and healed myself from pain with Hummo. I have spent years struggling with the fear of slipping or tripping or moving in a way that would trigger a week (or weeks) of debilitating pain. But now I can live without that fear because I Hummoed it!
If I can do that as a beginner then WOW! Imagine what I can accomplish when I’ve been doing this for a while....
I was told I would be in a wheelchair years ago. By positive thinking and help I knew that wasn’t going to happen. Now with Hummo I believe I’ve found the golden ticket to not just being pain free everyday but to actually heal the cause
Hugh, you’ve created something that’s a game changer for me and for thousands of others.”

“Over the short time that I have been practicing The Hummo Method™, I have noticed positive results in every area of my body that I focussed the session toward. Certain conditions that have emerged since my hysterectomy have made me feel less-than, or perhaps a better word is ‘broken’. Pleasure became associated with pain. Normal bodily movements, ie urination and bowel movements became painful, sometimes excruciating.
But the truth is it was even worse than that. I never told anyone but I was warned by my doctor if any point I was unable to pass stool, I would have to have emergency surgery. Many times I suffered stabbing pains that had me very worried. One time I was in so much pain that to prevent myself from making noise, I leaned over my bed and pushed my abdomen against it to so my youngest son in the other room wouldn’t know. I almost called myself an ambulance several times over the past year. At one point when I was visiting my other son who lives in a rural area, it was so bad that when I did leave the bathroom, my son’s partner stayed up all night making sure I was okay.
Since practicing The Hummo Method™ however, there has been a magical shift. I no longer feel stabbing knife-like pains through the base of my body. It’s clear The Hummo Method™ has somehow helped my body self-regulate and the pain has completely disappeared. On top of that, I no longer feel like I’m less-than or broken in any way.
If someone had claimed this would have been the effect of pretty much any process, technique or approach I would have rolled my eyes, but I’m beyond grateful for The Hummo Method™. It has changed my life.”

“When I was young, my (much) older brothers used to gaslight me viciously.
Recently, as an adult I had well-meaning people trying to convince me of something, but the way they were doing it was triggering because it resembled the bullying I experienced.
I directed The Hümmo Method™ toward this 45 year old issue and all the triggers disappeared. My anger toward my brothers turned to sadness that they were so unhappy.”

“I was sick and woke up 4 am and couldn’t get back to sleep - the old anxiety/insomnia again. I got up and because I wasn’t distracted with anything, I was able to do a proper Hümmo Method™ process. It calmed my racing mind & took me to a place of beautiful peace & equanimity. As a matter of fact it was so calming that I was able to forget about my headache, burning nose & overall discomfort. I went back to bed and slept like a baby till 2 pm!!”

“When I was 17 years old, I went through a period of trauma which resulted in PTSD, anxiety and depression. Eventually they manifested physically in the form of back issues. I masked them for many years. It wasn’t until a couple of years ago that I decided to address them. I read books and also did breathwork but doing the Hummo Method is like the final piece of the puzzle.
I’ve seen glimpses of myself as a united whole again and I feel like the cheerful person I was. I recognized me again. WOW!!! (like Owen Wilson WOW)
I feel that The Hummo Method helped bring me back to that childlike state of wonder again which is a combination of lovely layers of effortless joy, calm, tranquility and emotional, spiritual, mental and physical aliveness. In one oversimplified word I think The Hummo Method is magic!”

“I sent my daughter 3 messages last week while she was at her Dad’s but she never answered. I realized parallels between myself and my own mother, so I called her and for the first time in years, we talked for about an hour.
I decided to use The Hümmo Method™ to work on my relationship with my mother and scenarios with my mother, her mother, and my daughter all showed up as subjects that needed healing. I incorporated everyone in the session, sending Hümmo™ to the entire maternal line.
A significant healing occurred but I still wasn’t done. I started a new session to heal the relationship between my daughter and myself. Surprising things came up and I incorporated that and other things into the session as each came up. Again I felt a true healing afterward.
When she arrived, the energy between us was so much better and I’m happy to say that we had the best week together we’ve had in a very long time.”

“Since testing The Hummo Method™, I’ve had several surprising experiences that can only be attributed to the sessions:
So far: a psoriasis flareup entirely cleared up, my nagging ITBS that had plagued me for years cleared up in minutes, major projects at work have lost their stress, ending my procrastination, and significantly, a bunch of physical and emotional issues have cleared up in people who I had targeted HUMMO™ sessions toward.
The bottom line is my life has been positively affected since I started HUMMO™ and it makes me feel far better equipped to deal with everything life throws at me.”

“Hugh invited me to be a Hummonaut™ - to try out The Hummo Method™. I took him up on the offer but have to confess that I didn’t really do anything with it at all.
One day recently however I woke up with a feeling of existential dread. I couldn’t put my finger on what was going on but I just felt deeply unsettled. I have been dealing with some systemic discrimination and felt like the discomfort may have been connected to that.
I sat down on my meditation pad and began the Hummo process. As I started, the space around me felt really hot; my face felt like it was burning up from the space around me. As I continued, I felt the dread begin to dissipate - like salt dissolving in water. It moved off to the outside of me, then came back inside and was diffused through me. I don’t know if that makes sense, but I’m not sure how else to describe it.
As I continued, the heat moved from outside to inside me and by the time I finished the process, I felt almost high...euphoric.
When I got off my meditation mat, I felt like I was leaving the heat there. I was grinning like a mad person and for the rest of the day, I just felt overly happy...almost giddy.
It’s clear to me that there is something magical about The Hummo Method. If it can work on something as vague as my feeling of dread, I can’t wait to see what else it can heal!”

“I have to admit I was very sceptical when starting the Hummo Method so I tested it on everything I could think of. Just doing the grounding with Joanne had money or opportunities arise daily.
I’ve no words that would describe what happened with the full method - just results: my right knee which apparently required a knee replacement - well I have no pain and I’m both back at the gym and on the dance floor. I had a tooth that needed extraction and now it’s totally fine. I also used the method on my mind as I had a lot of sadness and negative thoughts, happy to say it worked on this too!
I found that while doing this daily, even for a few minutes, it became something I do everyday and all throughout the day.
Thank you I am so grateful!!”
