Portland Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy, & NLP Trainings
Our Center's mission is to provide premier hypnosis, hypnotherapy, and NLP training for the Portland area, the Pacific Northwest, and internationally. Our innovative hypnotism / hypnotherapy training curriculum is designed by the 12,000-member National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) to insure national standards of excellence for the profession.
The NGH designed the advanced training to give participants a working understanding of hypnotism and hypnotherapy sufficient either to start careers as professional hypnotherapists or to integrate the hypnotism modality into their existing practices. The advanced training also leads to national certification by the NGH as a hypnotherapist / consulting hypnotist.
The Center's trainings are also very practical and down-to-earth. Our trainings are taught in a friendly, supportive environment which encourages learning, collaboration, exploration of new skills, and mastery. We apply the DEEP model of training, teaching by Demonstration, Explanation, Experiencing, and Process (discussion, comments, Q&A).
Our training emphasizes mastery of skills through practice . The program is designed to provide students ample in-class time to learn, practice, and master hypnosis and NLP skills. We also encourage students to practice together between trainings.
