The Jennifer Mee Story

One of the most notable cases Debbie worked on involved Jennifer Mee, a young girl who suffered from chronic hiccups for 37 days.

Eventually, Jennifer’s hiccups stopped during hypnosis in Debbie’s office. However, her personal challenges did not end there. For a time, Jennifer became a national media sensation. Then, when the headlines faded, she returned to anonymity — at least temporarily. Sadly, years later she reappeared in the news connected to a murder case. She was convicted and is currently serving a sentence for first-degree murder.

Featured in One Breath Away

Later, New York Times bestselling investigative journalist M. William Phelps contacted Debbie while researching his book about Jennifer. After several thoughtful conversations, time passed and Debbie assumed the project had moved on.

Then, in February 2016, Phelps published One Breath Away. Naturally, Debbie purchased a copy and read it straight through. Although she appreciated his compassionate and factual approach, she was still stunned when she opened Chapter 33 and saw her name as the first words.

The book recounts the day Jennifer’s mother called Debbie asking for help. Immediately, Debbie rearranged her schedule and waived her fee. At the time, she felt deeply concerned about the intense media attention surrounding Jennifer. In fact, she worried about the emotional toll on such a young girl.

When Jennifer entered Debbie’s Palm Harbor office, she had been hiccupping for 37 consecutive days. During hypnosis, the hiccups stopped. Later, Jennifer told ABC News:

“It happened in my last appointment at the hypnotist’s office.”

Furthermore, when she came out of trance, her first uninterrupted words were:

“I love you.”

After 37 days of hiccupping, a hypnotic trance does the trick for long-suffering Jennifer Mee.

Jennifer Mee is the 15 year old Florida woman, who suffered from 37 painful days of non-stop hiccups. The news media affectionately referred to her as “the hiccup girl”. Her story has been followed by numerous national and local news, publications and radio stations including: The Today Show, Inside Edition, Extra, ABC,NBC, St Petersburg Times, The Tampa Tribune and various publications throughout the country. The spasms, which had derailed her daily life ended precisely Wednesday February 28,2007 while she was in hypnosis. She entered the session at her 4:30 appointment time and left at 6:01 p.m. hiccup free! In an interview with Don Germaise of ABC News Tampa affiliate, she said that her hiccups stopped within 20 minutes of her second session with hypnotist Debbie Lane of Palm Harbor , Florida. While the media reports that it’s either a mystery as to why it stopped, or a combination of treatments, Jennifer stated: “It happened in my last appointment at the hypnotist’s office”. She explained to St Petersburg Times reporter Mary Jane Park that her spasms had stopped as she came out of a hypnotic trance.

She looked at Debbie Lane , the Palm Harbor hypnotist who offered to treat her for free, and said her first uninterrupted words: “I love you.”
