Austin Hypnosis Training brings a second generation perspective to a city that prides itself on doing things differently. I grew up in the presence of my father's work and built my own practice on it here in Texas, and my teaching draws on the masters I studied, including Gerald Kein and Gil Boyne. Students in Austin get a live, interactive education where you practice from the very first module, because you do not learn hypnotherapy by watching it.

How does live online hypnotherapy training work in Austin?

Austin Hypnosis Training happens in a live, interactive online classroom, so you can earn the complete professional certification from South Congress to Round Rock and anywhere else in Texas without giving up weeks of your life to travel. You train in real time with me and your fellow students, trading real practice sessions daily. This is not a folder of recordings. It is a classroom that happens to meet on a screen.

The Texas Roots

What Makes This Different From Other Hypnosis Trainings in Texas?

Lineage and practice, mostly. I built my own practice in Texas on what my father first showed me, and Texans have trained with me for more than two decades, first in person and now live online. This is not a script reading course. You learn interactive hypnosis, working conversationally with whatever the client brings, following their own words to the root of the pattern, and you practice it every single class day under live supervision.

No Travel

Do I Need to Travel to Take the Training From Austin?

Not one mile. Every hour of the certification, the live classes, the demonstrations, the supervised practice, the exam, happens from your home in Austin over a live, interactive Zoom classroom. We run on Central Time, the same clock you are already on, 10:00 to 6:00 on class days. Travel used to be the silent extra tuition of professional training. Removing it is a big part of why students tell me this turned out to be more doable than they expected.

5 Star Google Review

Just finished Mark's hypnosis class. It was informative, filled with tips for starting a hypnotherapy business and hands on. Mark has worked and studied with many of the greats in hypnosis. He has a true gift for figuring out what his clients need. He is also a compassionate, kind, knowledgeable teacher. This was my first hypnosis class, but other students in the class mentioned how much better this class was than other hypnosis classes they have taken. He also offers other classes once you've got the basics down. I highly recomment this class and Mark Johnson as a hypnotherapist!!

The Living

Can I Actually Make a Living at This in Austin?

Yes, and I will give you the honest version rather than the brochure version. I spent years as a weekend warrior, writing code by day and seeing clients evenings and weekends, until the practice could stand on its own. That is the path I recommend to Austin students too, because it removes the financial pressure while you get good. The training covers the practice building side directly, from your Google Business Profile to referral relationships with doctors and counselors, and most students recoup tuition within their first twenty paying clients or fewer.

Safety

Is Hypnosis Actually Safe to Practice?

Safe for the client, and safe for you, when you are trained properly. No one gets stuck in trance; it is a natural state of focused attention you drift in and out of every day. The real skill is knowing what to do when something emotional surfaces, and that is precisely what daily supervised practice builds. You also learn the professional boundaries, how to word your disclaimers, when a client needs a referral, and how to work alongside licensed professionals rather than around them.

Why do so many Texas students train with Good Vibes?

This school grew up in Texas. I built my own practice in the Dallas area on what my father first showed me, and Texans have trained with me for more than two decades, first in person and now live online. Austin students get the same education without the drive up I-35, and they join classes that almost always include other Texans to practice with.

Austin has never waited for permission to do meaningful work, and neither should you. Once you have practiced these techniques daily under live supervision, you carry them into a city full of people actively looking for something deeper than talk. This work took root for me in Texas, and Austin is fertile ground for yours.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Our IACT certification is fully recognized in Texas and internationally, and we walk through the professional landscape for Texas practitioners in class so you set up your Austin practice on solid ground.

We run on Central Time, the same clock as Austin, from 10:00 in the morning to 6:00 in the evening. No conversion math and no early alarms required.

It does. This foundational live training is the Newton Institute prerequisite, so the road from Austin to Life Between Lives work runs directly through this certification.

It depends entirely on what you intend to do with it, and I would rather say that plainly than sell you something. If you are going to see clients, then yes, and the tuition tends to come back inside your first twenty paying sessions or fewer. If you want the certificate for the wall, or to add a line to a coaching page you are not really going to use, then no amount of tuition is worth it and I will say so on the call.

The other half of the question is which training is worth it, and there I would judge any program, mine included, on three things. How many hours are live with the person teaching, how many times you will guide a real human being with someone experienced watching you, and what happens after the last class day.

A course that is mostly recordings and no supervised practice produces people holding a certificate who have never actually run a session, and that is where the disappointment comes from. Ask any program those three questions, not just this one.

Not even slightly, and this is one of the quiet advantages of training the way we do. Because you learn to work over a camera from your first day, you graduate already able to run a borderless practice. You can see someone across town in Austin in the morning and someone in Canada, the UK or Australia in the afternoon. Practitioners who only ever trained in person often hesitate for months before their first remote session. You will have done a hundred of them before you certify.
