ABOUT US

As the founder and lead clinical hypnotist behind this Minnesota-based practice, I've helped clients for 39 years change deeply ingrained habits—especially nicotine dependence—using clinical hypnosis (also called hypnotherapy) and complementary NLP methods. My work blends evidence-informed technique with practical, real-world coaching so clients can make changes that last.

As a founding member of the Master Hypnotist Society (MHS) and a long-time member of the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH), I’ve trained practitioners across North America and co-authored a 700-page MHS training manual on hypnosis and NLP mastery. My advanced mentorship is delivered one-to-one following an 11-month core training. Graduates earn NGH and MHS certifications and—crucially—learn to become expert “people readers,” a skill that separates competent technicians from consistently successful practitioners. I also teach the business side of practice so qualified hypnotists can sustain ethical, client-centered work.

Over the decades I’ve built and led three clinics serving the upper Midwest, accumulating nearly 10,000 written and video testimonials from successful clients. My writing includes 50+ magazine articles, and I’ve been interviewed on multiple television programs to discuss best practices in hypnotic change work.

What sets our practice apart

• Depth of experience: 39 years focused on habit change, stress and anxiety relief, sleep support, performance improvement, and especially smoking cessation.
• Elite training pedigree: Founding member of MHS; NGH-certified; author of core training materials used by practitioners nationwide.
• One-to-one mentoring standard: Individualized protocols rather than “one-size-fits-all” scripts.
• Results you can verify: Thousands of client success stories documented on file.
• Professionalism & ethics: Clear expectations, plain-language education, and collaboration with healthcare providers when appropriate.

Our Philosophy

Lasting change is both scientific and personal. Technique matters—but so do timing, communication, and the ability to read what a client truly needs in the moment. Every session pairs structured methods with attentive, respectful guidance so you feel informed, supported, and in control of your progress.

If you’re ready to breathe easier and move forward, you’ll be working with a seasoned professional whose career has been devoted to helping people do exactly that.
