A Distance Learning Course of 20 Lessons

Hypnosis is a state of mind in which the subconscious temporarily becomes highly receptive to suggestion and change. At any time when our conscious mind is absorbed the subconscious mind is more open and vulnerable."

Hypnotherapy serves as a means of communication between the subconscious and conscious mind - between feeling and intellect. A hypnotherapist does not and cannot control another person's mind.

The function of the hypnotherapist is to assist and coach in order to mobilise the beneficial powers of the subconscious. This course makes the techniques and the benefits of the hypnotic trance and self-hypnosis available to you.
