Why This Program Exists
You see, I was just like you. When I started in hypnosis back in 1983, I had passion but no real framework. I learned the craft the hard way — one client at a time, figuring out inductions, deepenings, and scripts through trial and error, and undercharging for years.
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
“I recently completed the Certification Course in Clinical Hypnosis conducted by Steve G. Jones. It was superb — a comprehensive course with techniques that firmly etch the concepts into the student's mind. I've started using them in my practice and would recommend this program to anyone seriously pursuing a career in clinical hypnosis.”
“After leaving Steve's course I really understood all of the phases of hypnosis, had the confidence to hypnotize people and empower their lives, and had no questions left about the 'hows' and 'what is possible' with hypnotherapy. It was absolutely worth the cost!”
“As I've been practicing clinical hypnosis with some of the troops, it has helped quell PTSD symptoms and panic responses. I'm glad I ran into you online — two more modules and then I'm looking forward to the advanced course.”
