Hypnotherapy Programs

Positively impact people’s lives with the use of Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is a powerful way to support people in making needed life changes. Hypnosis induces a deeply relaxed state of inner concentration and focused attention, nurturing decisions from a state of awareness and clarity, in the safety and comfort of a hypnotherapy session. Hypnosis is also well documented as a way to help relieve pain and anxiety, as well as for smoking cessation and weight release.

Self-hypnosis is a self-empowerment skill used for reducing chronic pain, improving sleep, and/or alleviating some symptoms of anxiety or depression.

SWIHA offers two Hypnotherapy programs: A 100-hour Certificate of Excellence and a Clinical Hypnotherapy Certificate. The 100-hour certificate is designed for personal enrichment and self-empowerment, as well as for gaining additional skills needed to fortify or enrich current Holistic Healthcare Practitioners’ professional practices.

Upon completion, our 100-hour certificate qualifies students for American Board of Hypnotherapists (ABH) membership or National Association of Transpersonal Hypnotherapy (NATH) membership.

Our Clinical Hypnotherapy Certificate is a vocational-focused program designed for those who have successfully completed the 100-hour Certificate in Hypnotherapy and wish to deepen their skills and launch a professional practice. Students completing this program are eligible to take the certification processes for the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners (ACHE) and the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association (IMDHA).
