When clients look for a hypnotherapist, they often search for credentials, training, or success stories, and those matter. I've completed over 600 hours of advanced hypnotherapy education and practice, which FAR exceeds the standard. I'm Certified by one of the top accredited institutions (IAIH) which is licensed by the Florida Department of Education. But, what truly sets me apart... can't be taught in a classroom. It's what I've lived through, the kind of deep, soul-shaping experiences that allow me to sit with clients not just as a professional, but as someone who's walked through fire and come out the other side with compassion, strength, and tools to help others do the same. I've sat where many of my clients sit. Not metaphorically but literally. I've faced trauma that textbooks can't explain. I've served during the Vietnam era, experienced the pain of a drawn out divorce, and endured the unimaginable grief of losing my father, mother and 17 year-old son. I've overcome chronic migraines, IBS, auto immune challenges, insomnia, and the psychological strain of working in high-pressure corporate leadership. I understand what it means to feel broken, uncertain, overwhelmed, and I've come through it all with more than survival...I've come through with a purpose: To help others heal.
