I am currently perusing my certification in the National Guild of Hypnotists. I am required to do 25 sessions to complete my certification. If you are reading this page, thank you for your consideration in helping me achieve my goal, by practicing with me. There is no monetary costs to you, only the cost of your time which is far more valuable. I hope you find it a fun and enjoyable experience.

I promise I will not make you cluck like a duck. Such embarrassing things happen in Stage Hypnosis, which I have no interest in doing.

This is what you can expect by working with me, which will typically be two sessions. The first session you can expect it to last one and half to two hours. Any sessions after that are usually under and hour.

In the first session we will first go over any questions that you may have. Hollywood has given most people a distorted view of Hypnosis. We will go over the list of questions that are presented at the end of this page. Consider it a fun thing to think about the odd questions, rather than a dreary homework assignment. Some of the questions will make you go “What?”…

I will then teach you a Four-Square Breathing technique, that I will do along with you. This helps us build rapport and helps us both relax.

Next we will do some interactive experiments that will tell me which style of hypnosis will work best for you. Everyone of us is unique.

Then we will do a hypnosis induction of general relaxation. This establishes a base line for all future sessions.

In our second session we will address any particular issue of interest to you. The list below are the most common reasons people come to see a Hypnotists.

If we are working together in the same physical location, for my own safety I will record our session. A few people find the hypnotic process erotic. None of us need the hassle of accusations of things that did not happen. Such recordings will be kept on an encrypted device and will be destroyed after five years. They will be available to third parties that posses a proper court order. I also suggest you bring your own recording device, to record your session. This is especially valuable to you for Past Life Regression sessions.

Also when working together it is best to wear conservative lose fitting clothing. This aids in breathing that constrictive cloths would restrict. The best posture for a hypnosis session is setting erect in a comfortable chair. This is for the best energy flows, circulation of breath and Cerebrospinal fluid circulation in the spine and brain.

Lastly bring your favorite Pendulum with you, as we will use it in one of the assessment experiments.

This is a list that has been found to be the most common reasons people seek out a hypnotists. The National Guild of Hypnotists was established in 1950. Some of the titling may not be considered Politically Correct today.

Foot notes:

@ Reduce Stress: After my NGH certification, I will be taking more extensive training in Stress Reduction. Something we ALL need in our current times.

# Stuttering: Stuttering has multiple causes, some of which need to be addressed by a trained counselor.

For example place your hands over the ears of a person that stutters. Does the stuttering stop when they speak with their ears covered?

If so there are two common scenarios. The first being, there is a physiological issue that causes a few millisecond delay between the ear and the processing of the brain, that is disrupted due to the feedback of hearing ones self.

The other common cause is best exemplified by the Rock-Opera movie Tommy by The Who.

Tommy's mother and uncle singing (It IS a Rock-Opera) to a very young Tommy: “…You didn't see it. You didn't hear it. You won't speak of it…” at Tommy witnessing the murder of his father, by his mother and uncle whom were having an affair.

At some point the person with the stuttering impediment was told something along the lines of “Don't tell or something bad will happen to you”. The subconscious mind hearing words coming out of the person's mouth tries to stop them to prevent the harm of “something bad will happen”. By closing the ears off, this feedback is prevented so the stuttering does not take place. While I'm willing to try hypnosis to see if it helps, this issue is best addressed by a professional counselor trained in such issues as childhood trauma.

* Weight Loss, Smoking and Tobacco Chewing can be complex issues. This first session is a simplistic one that often helps with no further sessions required. However four to eight sessions may be a more realistic expectation for these issues. Success with these complex issues is also highly dependent on your participation in doing the homework that is required between sessions.

For weight loss, we are what we absorb from all sources. A simple place to start is always read the ingredients on what you are consuming. If Sugar, by one of its many names, is listed in the first four ingredients, don't buy it.

Like everything else in life your intentions will determine your Reality…

Be clear to yourself what you want to get out of this hypnosis session.

Every Past Life Regression is a unique individual experience, that can range from Interesting entertainment to Profoundly Life Altering.

These are among the more common things that can often happen:

Release blocks from the past that are holding you back in your life today.

Learn about the source events of where you first met someone, Friend, Family or Lover etc.

Discover latent gifts and talents that you did not know you possessed, that are just waiting for you to discover and develop.

Identify a helpful Guardian Angel, Spirit Guide or Being of Light, whom you can work with long after your session is over.

Discover your soul's purpose.

Experience your brightest future… As part of the LifeStream[TM] Journey you also get to experience a meaningful event from your future.

Many people are often anxious about their first regressions for a variety of reasons. Many consider it to be a special, once-in-a-lifetime type event, and can be afraid of what they're going to find out about themselves and perhaps those in their current life. While others have many regressions and learn something new about themselves each time.

While you are in a hypnotic state, you are in total control. You will still be completely aware of what's being said and done and that often, whatever concern you may have never emerges.

A few have been concerned that they find out that they were some horrible person way back when. While it could happen, it is very rare. So far no one I've heard about has been Genghis Khan (c. ~1158 - 1227), and the only person that was Alexander the Great (c. ~356BC - 323BC) already had a predilection for knots; The Icicle Hitch is a good universal knot to learn.

Even if something challenging comes up, I will be there to assist you in reframing the events, learning from what happened, etc. You are never alone. You will undoubtedly emerge lighter than before you started from the experience.

1. Have you ever had a past life regression before? If so, when? What happened?
2. Have you had any kind of hypnosis in the past for other issues? If so, what was your experience?
3. Do you have any phobias (Ex. Fear of heights or claustrophobia – fear of enclosed places)?
4. Do you have any fear of door knobs?
5. Do you meditate?
6. Is it easy for you to visualize things?
7. If not, do you tend to have gut feelings or inner knowing, or do you hear the inner voice?
8. What is your religious background, if any?
9. Do you believe in reincarnation? If so, was that how you were raised, or how did you come to that belief?
10. Do you believe in angels and/or spirit guides, and/or beings of Light?
11. Do you work with any angel, guides or beings of Light on a regular basis? If so, who and how?
12. What would you like to work on during our time together?
13. Have you had a past life reading where someone told you who you were in the past? If so, what did they say?
14. Have you had any dreams that you believe were not dreams but more like past life memories that emerged? If so, what were they?
15. Have you ever traveled to a new place and felt like you’d been there before?
16. What ancient civilizations fascinate you?
17. Any hobbies or other interests that you enjoy that are not connected with things you learned while growing up?
18. Have you ever been in the presence of museum artifacts that felt familiar? If so, what were they?
19. What is your favorite real world animal?
20. What is your favorite metaphorical animal?
21. What is your favorite kind tree?
22. At this moment in your imagination you are standing on a surface. What is this surface made of?
23. Feel free to add any other details or information you believe would be helpful for me to know.

The night before and the day of your session please do not drink alcohol. Eliminate or limit your use of caffeine the day of your session. GET A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP!

I briefly investigated taking Dolores Cannon's Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique℠(QHHT®) training. Even went to a Level-II practitioner (there are three levels) to experience it for myself. The licensing for QHHT® does not allow it to be done online, which in the era of 2020 and beyond is simply a non-starter.

As I had worked with Dr Shelly in the past I decided to work with her to learn her Lifestream® process. I'm glad I did and so have the people I've regressed.
