Good Vibes Hypnosis
Whether you are exploring the hypnotherapy certification training or wondering what a private session could do for you, starting the conversation is easy, and there is never any pressure on the other end of it.
Three Ways
The easiest way. A relaxed, free conversation, about 20 minutes, where I answer every question you have. No obligation, no hard sell.
You are welcome to call, though I am often with clients and may not answer right away. If I miss you, you will receive a text with a link to schedule a discovery call so we can connect properly.

There is no such thing as a silly question in this work. I have heard them all, and I answer every one.
Common Questions
No degree, no prior clinical background and no previous experience with hypnosis. That surprises people, and it is worth being clear about why it is true. The field is self regulated, so the qualification that carries weight is certification through a recognized professional body rather than a university credential.
What you actually need is the training itself. In this program that means 110 hours of live class, 110 hours of self directed study, at least five complete sessions with people outside of class, a written assignment, an exam we prepare for together, a short ethics course through IACT and one recorded session you submit. Complete those and you hold certification through the International Association of Counselors and Therapists, recognized worldwide, with your first year of membership included. If you already have a clinical license or a coaching practice, this stacks on top of it rather than replacing it.
In most of the United States, no. Hypnosis is a self regulated field, and in the great majority of the country there is no state licensing board, no government exam and no degree requirement standing between you and seeing clients. Your professional standing comes from certification through a recognized body, which for my graduates is the International Association of Counselors and Therapists.
That said, a handful of states do have their own rules, usually about what you may call yourself in your marketing, or a simple client disclosure form, or registering with the state. Those rules change, so I am not going to state anything here as settled law for where you live.
We go through what applies to you in class, before you build a website or write your intake paperwork, and I would always tell you to confirm your own state for yourself rather than take a web page's word for it, mine included. If you already hold a clinical license, that license stays your baseline authority and you start from a strong position.
Yes, and my honest advice is do not quit your day job on day one. I did not leap into the void myself. I spent several years writing code for a living, including a stretch programming for match.com, while seeing clients on evenings and weekends and slowly building up. That is the path I recommend, because it takes financial survival pressure off the table and lets you focus on getting good. Some students move faster. I had one buy an office condo before our class even finished. But easing in is not a lesser version of this, it is the sustainable version. You learn this work by sitting in the chair and doing sessions, and the practice grows as your confidence does.
A computer with a camera and a stable internet connection. That is genuinely it. You do not need special software beyond Zoom, and you do not need a studio. What matters more is a room where you will not be interrupted for the day, because you will be doing real sessions with real classmates and both of you deserve that quiet.
