Hypnotherapy Training

Who is a good candidate for our Hypnotherapy training?

Potential students who look into our program are often people who have been in the helping industry in some way; social workers, nurses, counselors, psychologists, alternative health care workers and bodyworkers. Although I also get a fair share of psychics, energy workers and reiki folks who take the training. And I am proud to say that the largest group of people who take my training are people who were formerly my clients. I think that says something about my approach; that a client would get such great results working with me that they would be willing to change careers to help others do the same!

Hypnotherapy is a fascinating field and the students who take my training often experience a great deal of personal growth as they go through my program. It is nearly impossible to study hypnotherapy without also looking into your own beliefs, history, patterns, relationships, habits and experiences. 

Warning: The study of hypnotherapy, or at least how I teach it, can be paradigm shifting and can cause cognitive dissonance. I look at this as 'growing pains"- when we are introduced to information that does not match our current world view, it can require an adjustment in how we look at things. We are left changed as a result.  The people best suited for my training are people who are curious, openminded, and open to that deep paradigm shift that can occur being exposed to new eye opening information!

What will you learn?

Alongside the personal growth aspect of the course, you will also be learning how to help others with a variety of goals such as habit control, pain management, resolving anxiety, depression OCD, PTSD and so much more.

My approach is all about understanding and resolving what is underlying the client's symptoms. I cannot emphasize enough that this is NOT "scriptnosis"- I am NOT teaching you to read generic scripts to a passive client. This is interactive, client centered hypnotherapy.

 

You will learn:

  • How to improve your communication so you can work with clients with an open mind, leaving judgement out of your interactions and looking at the client's symptoms with curiosity and respect

  • How to work spontaneously with any client on any goal- I know that sounds like a bold promise. It will be a slow build- you need to learn to walk before you can run. But you will  learn interventions from me that will leave you feeling confident to work with anyone on anything. That's my promise to you 

  • How to do a thorough consultation that will build the client's belief in you, give you a good sense of what is going on for the client and how to strategize for working with them

  • How to address a variety of clients goals and symptoms including anxiety, fears and phobias, habit control, pain management, birthing, dental, pre and post operative, depression, sexual dysfunction, sport improvement, study skills and more

  • How to find clients and how to have a successful practice

  • How to do personalized session with your clients that take into consideration their language, motivation, relevant history, preferences and needs. My focus i8s on really knowing your client and modifying everything you do to make the hypnosis successful for them

This is an intensive course so I suggest you have a look at the learning outcomes below to get the full scope of the training

What makes this Hypnotherapy training different than other programs?​

Much of the material you will receive from me is proprietary meaning you will not find it anywhere else.

I have been doing hypnotherapy full time since 1999, seeing 6 clients a day for most of my career. I have worked with literally thousands of clients and so I KNOW what works. I know how to get results, and I am passing everything I know onto you.  You will receive interventions and processes I have created that you will not find anywhere else. You will benefit from my over 2 decades of work with clients. 

I was also a teacher prior to becoming a hypnotherapist so I know how to create lessons, assignments and exercises to help you really understand and be able to implement the material. I do believe that my combination of skill and experience with hypnotherapy and my background in teaching is a combination that makes my training top notch.

Many other hypnotherapy programs try to tell you that you can learn hypnotherapy in a few hours or a few weeks. They will give you scripts to read to your client and, when that doesn't work, will tell you that it is because the client was resistant and doesn't really want the results. BEWARE of training that tries to tell you this!

 

I offer 3 online hypnotherapy certification training options. Details are below. All of the programs require a meeting with myself to ensure you are a fit for the program. I like to know who my students are, have a personal connection to everyone I teach and I want to make sure that you are a good candidate for how and what I teach. 

OPTION 1: Self Paced Online Hypnotherapy Certification Program

With the online hypnotherapy certification program, you receive access to 28 units of curriculum in Thinkific, where my course is hosted.  The hypnosis training curriculum is in the form of videos, audio recordings, real hypnosis sessions, radio shows and readings from the two manuals: the Theory Manual, and the Script and Technique manual.

 

You work through the online training material at your own pace, submitting assignments such as videos of you doing techniques or interviewing a client. I will give you feedback on your assignments so that you can ensure you’re on the right track. If you want additional support or to meet fellow hypnotherapists and students, you are welcome to attend monthly Hypnotherapy supervision meetings which happen via Zoom on the second Wednesday of every month from 6-730 pm Pacific time


This is a great option for a student who is focused, able to keep themselves motivated and who likes to learn at their own pace. There is no deadline for when you have to complete the training and you will have lifetime access to the materials.

OPTION 2: Zoom Classroom Instruction

If you prefer to go through the program with a like minded cohort and have the feeling of being in a  virtual classroom, this is the option for you.

You receive access to the Online Hypnotherapy Program but also attend a class one weekend a month for a year.

Class time is used for:

  • Additional lectures and instruction

  • Check Ins- get questions answered, get feedback on sessions

  • Demonstrations- See hypnosis in action as you observe the instructor working on volunteers, experience hypnosis yourself in group sessions as well as 1 on 1 sessions

  • Exercises- to help you really absorb the concepts

  • Practice Sessions- work on classmates and have them work on you so that you get the experience of working on your own goals in hypnosis and planning and delivering sessions for a classmate. 

One of the benefits of adding the classroom instruction is the personal growth you will experience! My students tell me that this is one of the best parts of the program. When you study with a cohort, you will be giving and receiving hypnosis sessions, working on your own goals during the time in class. You will also be looking at you own patterns, behavior, belief system and the impact of different events or relationships in your life. It is impossible to study hypnosis without also beginning to look within! I highly recommend adding the classroom instruction if you are considering taking the training so that you can get the full benefit of studying hypnotherapy and all of the opportunities for personal growth that it provides!

If you want additional support or to meet fellow hypnotherapists and students, you are welcome to attend monthly Hypnotherapy supervision meetings which happen via Zoom on the second Wednesday of every month from 6-730 pm Pacific time

 

 This program will qualify you for certification with The International Hypnosis Association, and The International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association Ask me about your certification options.

Technical requirements: Computer with a camera and microphone, basic computer skills. It is also best if you have privacy in the room during our classes so as to maintain the privacy of classmates who will be sharing.

OPTION 3: Self paced Online Hypnotherapy Certification Program PLUS one on one tutoring

If you are really keen to become as good as you possibly can at hypnotherapy, than this option is for you. This is a bit of a hybrid option in that you will move through the material on your own  but with the added bonus of meeting privately with myself  for  personalized tutoring. You schedule the one on one meetings as you move through the program as needed. Our time together can be used however you desire. Some possibilities include:

  • Getting a Demonstration of specific techniques 

  • Watching me do a hypnosis session on a volunteer 

  • Answering questions you may have about the material

  • Having me observe you doing interventions and receiving feedback

We can also use the time for anything specific you want to focus on. For example, perhaps you want feedback on your business plan or some insight into how to work with a specific niche you are drawn to-- we can use the time to dig into whatever topics are most useful and important to you.

 

This option is great for the student who wants to get the most out of their hypnotherapy training by having the instructor all to themselves! This program is also suited for the student who cannot commit to attending classes but who would like extra support as you go through the program. 

If you want additional support or to meet fellow hypnotherapists and students, you are welcome to attend monthly Hypnotherapy supervision meetings which happen via Zoom on the second Wednesday of every month from 6-730 pm Pacific

About Hypnotherapy

 

Hypnosis involves taking a person into an altered state of consciousness which really involves slowing down your brain waves. When we are awake we are in a Beta state, meaning our brainwaves are active and we feel alert.

If you were to close your eyes, take a couple deep breathes and relax, you would go into an Alpha state.

This is a place of   relaxation ,no worries, fears or frustrations, heightened intuition, inspiration, creativity, and Inner consciousness. It is a state where it feels as though there is limitless time and space where we have expanded awareness and where we learn more effectively. This is also a light hypnotic, or meditative, state

 

Some people may even enter into an even deeper Theta state which is familiar to people as it is the state you pass through right before you fall asleep where you know you are not asleep yet but you may feel as though you are dreaming.

In an Alpha or Theta state, we have access to the Subconscious mind. The subconscious mind contains all of our beliefs, our history and is the seat of our creativity and emotions. By accessing the subconscious mind we can determine the cause of a client's symptoms. By understanding the origins of the symptoms we can then address them. We can do this using imagery and symbolism, which speaks to the creative subconscious. We can also reframe experiences so that they no longer have a negative impact on the client.

 

Hypnotherapy, therefore, involves using a lowered brain wave state  to help a client to overcome a problem or achieve insight into an issue.

 

Using Hypnotherapy, a client is able to:

  •  Explore and change beliefs

  • Alter behaviors

  • Understand and change the imprint of past experiences

  • Gain insight into an issue

  • Tap into the creative mind and find solutions to problems that were previously elusive

  • Understand where emotions stem from and change how they respond to events

  • Be receptive to suggestions to enhance your well being and health.

My methods of using Hypnotherapy do not involve:

  • Having a client relive any past experiences-Some therapists believe that in order to no longer feel emotion around a traumatic event that you must go over and over it until you feel nothing. This is NOT my approach. Instead, I look at how that event impacted on you and provide a different perspective to your subconscious so that we can remove the negative impact. 

  • Reading impersonal scripts to a client- My students will be taught what I know works and reading a generic script to a passive client does not work.  You will learn to personalize the work you do, addressing the clients relevant history, using their language and motivation and adapting what you do to meet their needs and preferences

  • The therapist having all the answers or solutions-  With my approach, I believe that the client has all of their answers within  and the job of the hypnotherapist is to help the client access those answers. It is not up to the hypnotherapist to provide solutions, answers or to "fix" the client. Rather, the hypnotherapist is a guide using the interventions and skills they have acquired to direct the client to access their own subconscious mind in order to get insight and clarity and make the changes they wish to make
