Hypnosis Certification Training

Barb teaches a modern approach to hypnosis through Healing Minds Academy that is trauma-informed, neuroscience-informed, and designed for meaningful, client-centered change work.

Her hypnosis certification training goes far beyond scripts, inductions, and generic techniques. Students learn how to assess and understand client patterns, facilitate meaningful change work, and adapt hypnosis approaches to the individual needs of each client.

A core component of the training is the PRIMER™ Method, Barb’s proprietary neuroscience-informed framework for hypnosis and change work. The PRIMER™ Method provides practitioners with a structured approach to client assessment, session planning, and transformational change work while supporting flexible, individualized sessions.

Training is practical, evidence-informed, and designed to reflect the realities of modern practice. Students learn how to think critically, work ethically, and integrate hypnosis into client work with greater confidence and flexibility.

Upon successful completion of training, students will qualify for certification as a Certified Professional Hypnotist or a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (if you are a licensed mental health, medical, and healthcare professional in good standing).

Students may also have the opportunity to become a Certified PRIMER™ Method Practitioner, reflecting additional training and demonstrated competency in Barb’s proprietary neuroscience-informed approach to hypnosis and change work.

In addition to hypnosis skills and client work, students also receive training in practice and business management, including topics such as client experience, documentation, branding, boundaries, marketing, and building a sustainable and profitable practice. Students learn practical strategies for structuring their services, pricing their work, avoiding burnout, and creating additional income streams using their hypnosis skills through workshops, programs, groups, online offerings, and other professional opportunities.

This training is designed to help students feel more prepared and confident in both their clinical and business development skills as they build and grow their private practice.

Students also have opportunities to experience hypnosis personally throughout the training. Barb facilitates experiential exercises and hypnosis sessions designed to support students in their own growth, self-awareness, and transformation while deepening their understanding of the work from both the practitioner and client perspective.

This training is a good fit for:

• Therapists and mental health professionals
• Healthcare professionals
• Coaches and wellness practitioners
• Individuals pursuing a career in hypnotherapy
• Existing hypnotherapists wanting a more modern and integrative approach

Students receive hands-on practice opportunities, guided demonstrations, practical tools, worksheets, and ongoing support throughout the program.

Barb is a Certified Hypnosis Instructor through the ICBCH (International Certification Board of Coaches and Hypnotists).
