Let me give you a picture of "Bill’s" outlook on life. At 87 he had retired only 3-4 months earlier. Besides working in the corporate world, he has traveled all over the world working as a magician. Although he could hardly walk from the elevator to my office, at our first session he said that his goal was to "get his life back." He wasn’t planning to return to work but he does want to travel again and perform magic. I can see that he’s quite talented from the magic tricks that he demonstrated after each session and from the DVD that he brought me showing his levitation trick. I was quite impressed.

Bill had surgery for spinal stenosis 18 months ago and was still in considerable pain – taking 8 pain pills daily. Seeking relief, he had already used a number of other complimentary approaches including massage, reflexology, heat, ice, acupuncture. As with many clients he was out of options. After his first session his pain dropped by 50%! Of course, when he asked how that could be, I just said that it was "magic." <grin>

When he came for his second session he was down to 1 pain pill in the morning. He and his wife were both thrilled. He had a new pain at the 4th session. It seems that he had overdone something which is always tempting when you feel better, isn’t it? But by his 5th and final session he was comfortable and continuing to enjoy relief with the power of his mind. And, as Bill says, "I can take my mind everywhere!"

I am using Melissa Roth’s pain protocol which is available on my website. Also, check out her class in advanced pain techniques which we are offering in January 2009 (20 CEUs for hypnotherapists)

Hypnotherapy Training

With the downward shift in the economy this is a great time to learn a new skill. Hypnotherapy offers several options: You can begin a new, full time, satisfying career in a helping profession,  add skills to your current career making your services more valuable, or learn skills that you can use part time for extra income-- hypnotherapists typically earn $90-$150 per hour. Even with the change in the economy, people are reaching out for help.

Through lecture, live demonstrations and supervised in-class practice, you will learn skills that will change your life and the lives of those you help. If you have a sincere desire to help others, this course is for you!

Course meets qualifications for 16 hours per weekend of continuing education credit for MFCCs and/or LCSWs as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. PCCE #4228. (additional charge for CEU certificate)

Continuing Education Classes

"I attended the Spiritual Hypnosis weekend with instructors Katherine Zimmerman and Gaye Wilson. I learned many good and powerful Meditations, such as the Walking Meditation. Although I went expecting to learn I wasn't expecting what happened after that weekend.

"I began to notice on the Spiritual Level that a lot my prayers for others began to resolve right before my eyes. On an Emotional level I noticed a resolution to one of the worst times in my life. After 20 years three issues that had been tangled together began to unravel making it easier for me to deal with them separately. I finally saw the truth about all three issues and could deal with them and move to place of peace. Of course, that resolution brought Joy to my Mental level.

I cannot thank Katherine and Gaye enough for such a powerful class." ~Maureen "Martie" Johnson, CCHT, OM

Medical Hypnotherapy Training: Adv. Pain Techniques

However, it is estimated that only about 30-35% of people can develop glove anesthesia. And, in conditions such as fibromyalgia where the patient has wide spread pain, glove anesthesia is ineffective. This class teaches numerous advanced pain control techniques to relieve moderate to severe pain, to quickly and covertly release secondary gain and to prevent pain from returning. Many of these techniques, such as the Migraine Manager, can be done in 5 minutes or less. This makes them ideal for use in hospitals or emergency situations. These are unique techniques that you will not see anywhere else. This is pain control on steroids!
