Atlanta Hypnosis Training carries a legacy that spans decades into a city that has always been a hub of professional growth. As a Second Generation Hypnotherapist, I inherited this work rather than discovering it, and my perspective was sharpened by the pioneers I studied, including Gerald Kein and Randall Churchill. Our curriculum is built for people in Georgia who want to move beyond the basics and master the art of subconscious transformation, with professional confidence earned through live interaction and daily supervised practice.

Is Atlanta Hypnosis Training held in person or online?

Atlanta Hypnosis Training is delivered through an immersive, live, interactive online classroom. You complete the full professional certification from Buckhead to Decatur and anywhere else in Georgia, training in real time with me and your fellow students, with no commute and no travel expense. This is not a library of recordings. It is a live classroom, and you are in it.

The Career Question

Can I Really Build a Hypnotherapy Career in Atlanta?

You can, and the way Atlanta works is actually on your side. This is a city where people invest in themselves, in coaches, in counselors, in growth of every kind, and the appetite for real subconscious work runs well ahead of the number of practitioners trained to deliver it. I held in person classes in Atlanta for years before the training moved online, so I have watched Georgia students build practices firsthand.

My advice is the same here as everywhere: do not quit your day job on day one. Build as a weekend warrior the way I did, seeing clients evenings and weekends until the practice can carry the weight. Most of my students recoup their tuition within their first twenty paying clients, or fewer.

The Schedule

How Does the Training Fit Around a Full Time Job?

Deliberately. We meet Thursday through Sunday, every other week, three modules, twelve days in total. If you work a standard Monday to Friday week in Atlanta, that is six days off work across the whole certification, not a career interruption. Class runs 10:00 to 6:00 Central, which is 11:00 in the morning to 7:00 in the evening your time, and the 110 self directed hours happen whenever your life allows.

5 Star Google Review

This course is 100% legitimate, and the price is great. Mark really knows his stuff, not to mention his vast experience. He is an excellent hypnotherapist, and his course comes with a full toolbox. Immediately following the course, I went straight to work hypnotizing people with amazing results. My new business already has a waiting list! This course was also personally transformative. It would take many many more words to specify all the wonderful peace and balance Mark’s course has brought into my life. I will continue to take my studies further with Mark as opportunity arises. I would also like to mention that there is a special bond of friendship forged between the classmates, which is its own special bonus!

No Background Needed

I Have No Healing Background. Am I Going to Be Behind?

People apologize to me for this on nearly every discovery call, and I stop them every time. Sales, corporate work, teaching, ministry, running a business, raising a family: anything that taught you to sit with another human being and build trust quickly already taught you the hardest part of this profession. Rapport cannot easily be taught. Mechanics can, and mechanics are exactly what the 220 hours are for. One student put it perfectly: she wanted to take what she already did naturally and put some pants on it.

First Day Confidence

What If I Freeze Up in a Real Session?

We settle that question on day one. You learn the Dave Elman induction, a technique more than a hundred years old that guides someone into deep relaxation in five or six minutes, and then you immediately use it on a classmate in a supervised breakout room. When your partner tries to open their eyes and cannot, something shifts in you permanently. And you are never alone in those rooms: there is an Ask for Help button on your screen, and pressing it brings me or a teaching assistant in immediately.

The Cohort

Who Will I Be Training Alongside?

A room worth meeting. Cohorts draw nurses, counselors, coaches, massage therapists, ministers and career changers from across the country, and Georgia is reliably represented. That mix is not a side effect, it is part of the education: you trade practice sessions with many different kinds of minds, because every one of them teaches you something a similar one cannot. Many classmates keep trading sessions and referrals for years after the course ends.

Is there really demand for hypnotherapy in Atlanta?

Atlanta is one of the fastest growing wellness markets in the Southeast, and it has always been a city where people invest in professional growth. Coaches, counselors, massage therapists and career changers here keep discovering the same thing: the demand for real subconscious work runs ahead of the number of practitioners trained to deliver it. That gap is your opportunity.

Atlanta rewards people who take their growth seriously, and that is exactly who this training was built for. Master the mechanics of hypnotic suggestion and parts therapy and you step into the Atlanta community ready to resolve the issues your clients have carried for years, with the spiritual side of the work settling in as a natural extension of your professional skill.

The Next Step

What Happens Next?

You do not have to decide anything today. The next step is simply a conversation. The discovery call is a relaxed, no pressure talk, about 20 minutes, where we discuss your goals, I answer every question you have, and we figure out together whether this training is your right next step. There is no obligation to enroll, and you will never get a hard sell from me.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Our IACT certification is fully recognized in Georgia and internationally, giving you a respected professional credential for your Atlanta practice.

Classes run 10:00 in the morning to 6:00 in the evening Central Time, which is 11:00 to 7:00 for Atlanta students. A full day, but a normal one, with no red eye flights attached.

Absolutely. This foundational 110 hour live training is the specific prerequisite for those in the Atlanta area moving toward Life Between Lives (LBL) work.

Graduates earn certification through the International Association of Counselors and Therapists, which is recognized worldwide, and your first year of membership is included. The training also satisfies the foundational prerequisite for the Newton Institute, where I serve as a Career Partner, so if spiritual regression work ever calls to you, this training is the doorway rather than a detour.

Almost every student arrives carrying this fear, so we take it head on, on day one. You will learn the Dave Elman induction, a technique that has been working for over a hundred years and takes five or six minutes to guide someone into a deep, relaxed state. Then comes the moment I love watching. In your very first practice trade you will guide your partner to close their eyes and tell them their eyelids are locked shut, sealed, and to try to open them. They try. They cannot. Something shifts in both of you right then. That is not a mystical gift showing up, it is a structured skill working exactly the way it is built to, and you did it on your first day.
