Why I Became a Hypnotherapist

I discovered hypnotherapy quite by accident!  It was spring of 1997, and I was in bad shape ~ emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, financially.  I realized that I needed to work through some issues if I wanted to improve my life (and, quite frankly, my chances of survival).  I found a therapist who recommended an Empowerment Intensive, a three-day personal growth workshop that uses Alchemical Hypnotherapy as its basis.  I was so impressed with what I experienced that I signed up for the training and began classes the very next weekend!   Today, I remain active as an Alchemist because I know that this work helps people transform their lives, just as I transformed mine.  

What's Ahead

I'm currently working towards a Master of Science degree in Natural Health with Clayton College.  I will be going on to complete my Doctor of Naturopathy degree, and I'm very excited about this opportunity to expand my qualifications and holistic services.

Future plans also include becoming a Certified Hypnosis Trainer.
