I have been teaching hypnotherapy since 2000 and would love to introduce you to this exciting career option.

Self hypnosis is one of the best self help tools I’ve ever found. I offer self hypnosis classes in Chula Vista and through my private practice. If that is not convenient, get a group together and we can find dates/location that fit into your life. Click here for current dates

You will find information here about the Emotional Freedom Techniques(TM) (EFT) and a list of books on hypnosis and hypnotherapy. Sign up for my monthly newsletter or bookmark my site to read it online. I appreciate your interest!

Let me tell you why I became a hypnotherapist. In 1981 I took a self hypnosis class for managing chronic pain. I was amazed at how easily I could use my mind to alleviate pain. I also discovered the benefits of stress reduction, focus and concentration and much more.

Now, in the beginning, I only used self hypnosis if I were in pain or when I was hospitalized. And even though I was using it sporadically, I was enjoying tremendous benefits. I can tell you from personal experience that even low grade chronic pain destroys the quality of your life.

By 1989 I’d had numerous positive hypnotic experiences so when the opportunity to become a hypnotherapist showed up, I was excited to learn how to help others.

Once I became a hypnotherapist I started practicing self hypnosis daily because it is the best self help tool that I’ve found. Over the past 20+ years I have cleared out my dysfunctional childhood issues, overcame my fears of public speaking, accelerated physical healing numerous times and had surgery without needing pain medication.

Having personally experienced the life changing benefits from hypnosis and hypnotherapy I would love to help you achieve similar goals in your life.

“You really know how to address lots of different types of learning styles. I utilize what I learn immediately. So fun to try out new inductions, and methods.” – Jan Weir, CHT
