Books have been written around what hypnosis is, and what a hypnotist is, and how hypnotist do so much more than just hypnosis. But to simplify things a bit I like to summarize it like this:
Hypnotist: I leverage any and all trainings that I have available to me to help you get the result you desire. Some of those trainings involve Hypnosis and NLP certifications. Many of those trainings are ongoing education from podcasts, Facebook Lives, and YouTube from experts in their field. I get weekly trainings on hypnosis because I enjoy geeking out on it.
Of course results may vary from person to person. I guarantee the very best training using current information and appropriate hypnotic techniques for your type of situation.
What it is that I do, as a hypnotist, is not meant to diagnose or treat any disease, but rather it is intended to provide information, education, and motivation that will help to you live to your best potential and guide you toward being more effective in helping yourself.
