Hypnosis Training

Become Certified in Hypnosis

Dual Certification Program through the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) and The Coyote Institute for Transformation and Change. 

Professional hypnosis training is increasingly in demand, those in health professions are finding the benefits of cross-training in complementary modalities.

Hypnosis, especially as practiced by the late Dr. Milton Erickson, M.D., and as those who followed in his footsteps, is a gentle and effective tool for changing behavioral programming on a deep level. A master of anecdotes and teaching tales, Erickson assisted clients and professionals with his artistry. His uncanny ability to heal with words drew international attention and acclaim.

In this intensive training, balancing lecture (20%), demonstration (30%) and hands-on drills (50%), you will learn fundamentals of an Ericksonian approach to trance, and how to utilize it as a valuable adjunct to your existing skills. This training has been designed primarily for health care professionals, but is open to the lay public.
