Originality, Integrity, Leadership… Our World Leading Hypnotherapy School

Marleen & Student in class
Marleen Mulder is bringing a volunteer out of hypnosis
during a Level Two class demonstration.

We founded one of the first licensed hypnotism schools in 1978. Many now consider HTI to be the world's leading hypnotherapy school, drawing many students each semester from throughout the United States and the world. The ongoing, expanding success of our classes occurs because we are continually improving a well-organized, selectively eclectic, highly experiential program, taught by very skilled, creative, experienced instructors who care deeply about our students.

We have also been leaders in the field, developing new therapy and teaching methods, writing leading texts, frequently educating through the media about the benefits of hypnotherapy, leading legislative battles to protect and strengthen our profession, and helping provide visionary leadership as President and Vice President of the original and largest Hypnotherapy Certification organization.

Our personalized attention with each of our students goes a long ways. We appreciate the opportunity to assist our students to develop their abilities to achieve profound change in themselves and others. With our tradition of excellent student satisfaction and success (including through our teaching of innovative business and marketing strategies), we continue to strive to make our highly practical program even better.

Many hypnosis schools have been developed over the years. Many instructors have been trained by us. We invite you to come to a source of continual development of transformational therapy, which respects your experience, talent and creativity, and encourages the further blossoming of your healing capabilities.

Forging New Directions in an Emerging Field

Randal & a Student in class
Randal Churchill demonstrates uncovering work in
hypnotherapy with a volunteer in a recent Level Four class.

Including powerful live demonstrations, practice and group processes in an intimate, supportive setting, we teach safe and effective ways to do many forms of hypnotherapy in our highly practical courses. The integration of many modalities including Gestalt is also covered. Your skills are further developed by homework assignments which include selected texts (including award-winning cutting-edge texts designed for our program), many important class materials which are provided, and further practice. These fascinating courses are carefully designed to give you extensive training to either practice hypnosis as a career or integrate these skills with another profession in the health or counseling fields.

The supervised practice sessions are a vital part of our program. All participants practice hypnotic techniques with each other, beginning the first day of class. We encourage you to develop your own creative induction and therapy styles and to explore many facets of giving and experiencing hypnotherapy.

We do our utmost to create a safe environment for the option of powerful growth opportunities within the context of a well-organized training. On the way to becoming Certified Hypnotherapists, many of our students report dramatic improvements in their lives.

Every new season we update and develop our dynamic program, evolving along with our discoveries and insights and those of others in the field. We listen to our students, and continue to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of our teaching methods.

Our commitment to teaching an eclectic array of methods is grounded in HTI instructors' many years of successful experience using many forms of hypnotherapy. We focus on the most important issues and modalities in substantial depth. Emphasizing comprehensive solutions to achieve lasting change, we work interactively with the whole person, clearing underlying causes of unwanted attitudes, emotions and behavior. And we teach how to tap into many forms of wisdom and healing capabilities of the subconscious. A combination of appropriate hypnotic methods over a series of sessions will usually yield the most profound, lasting results for your clients.


"…far exceeded my wildest expectations…"
   "Little did I know when I answered your ad that I had just set foot on a journey that would turn my life around forever. In my blind assumption that this was merely a fine school for the training of hypnotherapists, I found myself walking willingly into a safe and loving cocoon, formed by the spoken word, the warm embrace and the gentle spirit of both of you as well as the additional special teachers you brought in from time to time. In this place, I experienced and witnessed spiritual transformation and personal growth unparalleled in any other single event of my life. The depth and breadth of the wisdom and knowledge offered to your students far exceeded my wildest expectations and the deep bonding I accomplished with the class I will carry in my heart forever. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Our expertise is shared in working with recovered memories and avoiding false memories.

We go into further depth with therapy for addictions, and explore Hypnotic Dreamwork™, advanced ideomotor methods, Crossroads Therapy, hypnotherapy for health issues and Transforming Therapy™. As with the other levels, the subject matter is carefully augmented by supervised practice.

Aspects of developing a practice covered in this level include disclosures, insurance coverage, insurance reimbursement, business licenses, trademarks, and further legal issues.

Developing from the foundation set in Levels One and Two, Level Three graduates receive a state-approved Master Hypnotist diploma. In addition, this is an advanced course that qualifies for upgrading of Certification, and is a popular course of established Hypnotherapists.

Like Level 3, this course emphasizes powerful live demonstrations, including comprehensive regression strategies. Advanced ideomotor uncovering techniques include Churchill's Imprint Method for transforming subconscious beliefs.

The course includes advanced hypno-healing methods and transformative goal setting. We take EFT-baased therapy even further with the Emotional Balancing Process.

Various practice sessions will further ground and inspire you with your wealth of options as a hypnotherapist. Creative business and marketing strategies are explored in depth.

Level 4 graduates receive a state-approved diploma in Advanced Hypnotherapy. Completion of Levels 1 through 4 also satisfies A.C.H.E. requirements for Hypnotherapist Certification.

Upon withdrawal less than one month before class, another $250 (or the balance of the deposit for a weekend level) is retained but can be credited toward a future class.

"…a major healing …"
   "Great work! A major healing took place in my life. This is much more than a hypnotherapy school. This is a life changing and profoundly deep spiritual experience."
-Robert Birk, M.A.,
Certified Hypnotherapist,
Vancouver, WA

        
"…obviously tremendous preparation…"
   "A wonderful course - shows caring, attention to detail, great and broad knowledge, and obviously tremendous preparation. Excellent lectures, demonstrations and practice sessions. This whole course is a banquet!"
-Christopher Pilot,
Certified Hypnotherapist,
Belleair, FL
        
"…human treasure…"
        "Marleen is exquisitely sensitive. She operates at all levels. A human treasure; totally committed. Randal has a heart of gold! Using his wealth of knowledge and healing skills, he is determined to create beneficial change. Very caring, yet lighthearted. Thank you!"
-Lon Garges,
Certified Hypnotherapist,
Vienna, VA

        
" …no greater gift…"
"Naturally I expected to acquire the skills necessary to become a well-trained hypnotherapist, which I most certainly acquired. But I received so much more. I received the gift of myself. Marleen and Randal, through your remarkable skill, sensitivity, love and peaceful energy you created a safe, sacred space in which I felt supported enough to delve into my inner world. You introduced me to me, and went on to show me the depth and breadth of my inner world ... of my inner being. There is no greater gift, and for this I am profoundly grateful! You truly do teach hypnotherapy from the inside out. And in my opinion, there is no other way to teach it!"
- Monica D. McDowell, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, San Jose, CA.
        
From a physician in Cyprus
     "It's been one year already since our wonderful training. Although I am very busy with my Pediatric practice, I do Hypnotherapy sessions after hours and on weekends, and I truly enjoy it very much. In fact I use the extracts from my training in Hypnotherapy in my every day practice (and even in my daily personal life). I help people control their weight, face and control their fears and panic attacks, strengthen their egos and face non organic sexual difficulties…. I strongly recommend that every doctor must receive training in Hypnotherapy.

    "The following case was very fulfilling to me: I had this patient with panic attacks and fear to enter an airplane. After the first session she was successful to become pregnant, something she and her husband wanted very much and were trying to accomplish for more than a year. She was able to stop all psychotropic medicines she was on. After the fourth session she enjoyed traveling by plane all over Europe. Finally I gave her a fifth session for childbirth a few weeks prior to delivery, and after a very pleasant (as she describes) delivery, she gave birth to a nice little girl who is now my patient!"
-Nicolaos Christoforou, MD,
Limassol, Cyprus

Courses for Hypnotherapists

There is much advanced material to learn in each of those courses. Level 3 is a popular advanced class and prerequisite for Level 4. Please call or email if you have questions.

Certification as well as having CEU approval by the California State Board of Behavioral Sciences and the State Board of Registered Nursing.

We occasionally may offer a special advanced seminar not listed in the brochure, but which would appear on our website if not exclusively for our graduates. Such seminars are also approved by the A.C.H.E. and other agencies for CEUs. There is also further information about advanced education at Hypnosis Class Schedule.
