Phoenix Hypnosis Training draws the kind of person the Valley of the Sun attracts, someone who is ready for a higher level of professional mastery. My journey as a Second Generation Hypnotherapist began in South Carolina, watching my father facilitate deep transformation long before I began my own formal studies with pioneers like Ormond McGill and Gil Boyne. Throughout Arizona, our students find that we bridge the gap between classical hypnosis and the results oriented techniques required for a successful modern practice, so you can stand as a capable, confident hypnotherapist in the Phoenix and Scottsdale communities.

A note on course format

Good Vibes Hypnosis Training comes to you through an immersive, live, interactive online classroom. That means you can complete the full professional certification from Phoenix, or anywhere in Arizona, training in real time with me and your fellow students, without the burden or the expense of travel. This is not a library of recordings. It is a live classroom, and you are in it.

Why You Are Here

You Already Feel the Pull.
The Question Is What You Do With It.

If you are exploring hypnosis training, one of two things is probably true. You may be standing at the edge of a career change, tired of work that pays the bills but leaves something essential in you untouched, and wondering whether you could actually make a living helping people transform. Or you may already be in the healing arts, and you have seen hypnosis work with your own eyes, yet something nags at you. Your clients relax. They feel better for a while. And then the old pattern comes back.

Sit with that second one for a moment, because it matters. You know hypnosis works. But are your clients getting the depth of change they came for? Reading a script to someone can produce a pleasant session. It rarely produces the kind of root level shift that a client remembers years later. And when the results stay on the surface, it is not because hypnosis fell short. It is because the training did.

Two Kinds of Practitioner

The Difference Depth Makes

The script bound practitioner

  • Reads inductions word for word and hopes they land
  • Freezes when a client says something the script did not anticipate
  • Delivers pleasant relaxation, then watches old patterns return
  • Quietly doubts whether they are really qualified to charge for this

The interactive hypnotherapist

  • Works conversationally with whatever the client brings into the room
  • Follows the client's own words down to the root of the pattern
  • Guides real, lasting change that clients tell their friends about
  • Charges with confidence, because the results speak for themselves

The Guide

I Grew Up Inside This Work

My name is Mark Johnson, and I am a second generation hypnotherapist. I did not discover hypnosis in a weekend seminar. I grew up around it, watched it change lives up close, and eventually built my own practice on it. Along the way I learned the difference between hypnosis that soothes and hypnosis that transforms, and that difference is exactly what I teach.

Today I train practitioners across the country through Good Vibes Hypnosis Training. The program carries certification through the International Association of Counselors and Therapists, recognized worldwide, and I serve as a Career Partner with the Newton Institute, so this training also opens the door to spiritual regression work if that path ever calls to you. Those credentials matter, but here is what matters more: I teach interactive hypnosis, not script reading. You will graduate knowing how to sit with a real human being and guide them to real depth.

  • Second Generation Hypnotherapist
  • Certified Master Trainer
  • IACT Certification, Recognized Worldwide
  • Award Winning Hypnotherapy Instructor

The Training

Live, Interactive, and
Built Around Real Practice

This is a complete professional certification, delivered live online. You will spend 110 hours in live instruction with me, matched by 110 hours of self-directed study, for a full 220 hour education. Every single class day includes supervised practice, because you do not learn hypnotherapy by watching it. You learn it by doing it, with real people, while someone experienced watches and guides you.

In breakout rooms you will receive personal mentoring on your inductions, your language, and your presence. You will practice conversational, interactive techniques that respond to the client in front of you instead of a script in your lap. And by the time you finish, you will have guided enough real sessions under supervision that seeing your first paying client feels like a natural next step rather than a leap of faith.

Hypnotherapy Training

I have taken two training week-long learning experiences with Mark Johnson. I have also taken training experiences with three other internationally well-known names in the field of Hypnotherapy, specifically with past-life regressions. I considered all of these trainings to be very good and definitely worthwhile experiences. So it means a LOT when I say that the best training I received was hands down, no comparison, the training I received with Mark Johnson. I learned more nuts and bolts techniques, more alternative options and received an INCREDIBLE amount of rich resources to learn from the best of the best in hypnosis. I cannot recommend his course highly enough. His requirements to certify were the most stringent and thus his certification means the most to me. If you are serious about wanting to learn hypnosis, THIS is the right place to start your journey. You come out of his course with the most hours of actual experience practicing hypnosis, including personal feedback. This is the real deal, guys.

A Moment of Honesty

Is This Training Right for You?

This program is a genuinely good fit if you recognize yourself in any of these:

  • You are a healing arts professional, a coach, counselor, massage therapist, or energy worker, ready to add hypnotherapy to what you already offer.
  • You are considering a career change into a helping profession, and you want a real education, not a weekend certificate.
  • You already practice hypnosis and you are tired of surface level scripts. You want the skill to guide clients to root cause depth.
  • You feel called to this work and want to build a practice, full time or alongside what you do now, with genuine purpose behind it.

If none of those sound like you, that is useful to know too, and I would rather you find that out on a friendly call than after you enroll.

The Valley of the Sun draws people who are ready to rise, and that is exactly what this training asks of you. Master these clinical tools and you step into the Phoenix and Scottsdale communities as the capable, confident guide people here are already looking for, carrying a lineage that reaches from my father's work all the way to yours.

Mark is a very knowledgeable teacher. He brings 100% to every hour in the class. He is a wealth of knowledge and passes that along easily. His teaching style is generous and easy to follow. He offers an enormous amount of guidance through the live zoom teaching and a plethora of useful information contained on a very large drop box! I would highly recommend a class with him. I’ve been booking hypnotherapy clients since before the end of our last class and feel confident in my skills after studying with Mark.
