Why This Program Exists
You see, I was just like you. By the time I'd been practicing for years, I realized the most powerful work happened at the level of the unconscious mind — through embedded metaphor, age regression, and utilization, the hallmarks of Dr. Milton Erickson's approach. You already have the foundations; this is where you deepen them.
There is no need to struggle, because I have found powerful resources that helped me overcome those challenges — and I've taken what I've learned and turned it into a step-by-step solution, a blueprint you can follow to have success.
With over 40 years of experience, 22 published books, appearances on Dr. Phil and in Forbes, and as the founder of the American Union of NLP and the American Alliance of Hypnotists — you're in good hands.

What My Students Say
“This is really very fascinating. As I've been practicing clinical hypnosis with some of the troops, it has helped quell PTSD symptoms and panic responses. I'm an Adlerian psychologist, and reading more about Ericksonian theory and its clinical application is really very cool. Two more modules and then I'm looking forward to the advanced course.”
