Charlotte Hypnosis Training matches a city of rapid growth and vibrant energy with an education built for people ready to master the depths of the subconscious mind. As a Second Generation Hypnotherapist, I bring a unique lineage to the Queen City, blending the traditional wisdom I learned from my father with the clinical precision of masters like Gerald Kein and Gil Boyne, in a practical, results oriented program that prioritizes real time demonstrations and peer practice.

Is Charlotte Hypnosis Training held in person or online?

Charlotte Hypnosis Training is taught in a live, interactive online classroom, so the full professional certification is open to you from Charlotte or anywhere in the Carolinas without travel. You train with me in real time, in live demonstrations and daily supervised peer practice. This is not a screen you watch. It is a classroom you are in.

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. The question was never whether hypnosis is real. It is whether your clients are 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.

Why Do Some Practitioners Get Results That Last?


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

Who Will Be Guiding You?


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.

How Does Live Online Training
Actually Work?


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

The world of hypnosis has always has curiosity for me and became more interesting as I have continued my clinical work as a psychologist. The training with Mark has provided the confidence to move in this modality with greater ease than I had anticipated. Mark has many years of knowledge and great wisdom that he shares generously with his students. Mark is also a great personality. He is human, grounded, and personable. It is obvious why he has had success in this field, as he simply has that easy going and non-judgmental personality that feels safe to explore and share so that the learner gets to where they seek to be. I am returning for more of his courses and study. :)

Why is Charlotte a strong place to start a hypnotherapy practice?

Charlotte is one of the fastest growing cities in the country, and growth at that pace produces exactly what this work addresses: stress, transition, reinvention and the patterns people carry with them into new lives. The Queen City adds thousands of newcomers every year, and almost none of them arrive with a hypnotherapist. You could be the one they find.

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 Queen City is growing faster than its helping professions can keep up with, and the people arriving every week bring their old patterns with them. Learn to pinpoint the subconscious drivers of anxiety and stuck relationships through live interactive practice, and you become the top tier professional Charlotte is actually waiting for.

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.

Hypnotherapy Training

I took the Hypnotherapy training course and a Past Life Regression training course with Mark and they were both amazing!! He is a great teacher, the online class format was a ton of fun, and I will miss our class a lot. There is a lot of information that Mark has carefully compiled through his extensive experience and with his deep knowledge of hypnotherapy, and he shares it in a really accessible way. Highly recommend taking both classes. Thanks Mark!

Frequently Asked Questions


Yes. Our IACT certification is fully recognized in North Carolina and internationally, a credential that stands behind your Charlotte practice.

Very likely. Our cohorts draw from across the country and regularly include students from both Carolinas, and those practice partnerships often continue long after class ends.

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

I hear this one constantly, and I understand it. Here is my honest answer: I teach online the exact same way I used to teach when I traveled to hold classes in Chicago, Atlanta and Phoenix. Same manual, same demonstrations, same practice, same feedback. You discuss the technique, you watch me do it live, then you go do it yourself with a partner while I am available the whole time. Because you are doing the work rather than watching it, you build real confidence from your very first day. And if you can facilitate hypnosis over a camera, walking into your own office and doing it in person later is easy.

This is one of the quietest fears people carry into a discovery call, and it deserves a real answer. You are not there to fix anyone, and you do not need a psychology degree to facilitate a genuine breakthrough. We teach you how to set clear professional boundaries, how to word your website and intake disclaimers, and how to work with referrals so that a client with a diagnosed condition is being cared for by the right people alongside you. That protects you and it turns local doctors and counselors into a referral source rather than a worry. And the techniques themselves keep you in the right seat. You guide non leading dialogue and the client's own subconscious does the resolving. You are the facilitator, not the one carrying the weight.

It does, and I am blunt about it in class. Plenty of certifying organizations will tell you a free listing in their member directory brings clients. In twenty plus years I have not seen that happen. So instead I show you what has actually kept my own practice full. You will learn how to set up a Google Business Profile properly and collect real reviews, which is the lifeblood of a local practice now. You will learn how to build ethical relationships with doctors, counselors and chiropractors, because when a client stops smoking or finds relief from chronic pain, their doctor asks how, and that one question starts a referral snowball. And we talk about the grassroots side, using local meetups, meditation groups and community groups to get your first sessions and your first war stories under your belt.

Yes, and most of my students do. The schedule was built around that. Three modules of four days, Thursday through Sunday, every other week, which for someone on a standard work week means six days of time off rather than three straight weeks away from your life. The self directed hours happen on your own schedule. Plenty of people have come through this program while holding a full time job, raising a family, or running another practice.

No one gets stuck. Trance is a natural state of focused attention that you move in and out of on your own all the time, on a long drive or lost in a book. A client can open their eyes and stand up whenever they choose. Safety in this work is much less about the trance itself and much more about knowing what to do when something emotional surfaces, which is precisely what the supervised practice and the clinical training are for. You will not be improvising.
