Training & Certifications

Association of Registered Clinical Hypnotherapists

Registered with ARCH, the most stringent professional body for clinical hypnotherapy in Canada. ARCH requires 700+ hours of clinical training, supervised practice, and ongoing professional development.

Deep Specialization in 3 Areas

Focused expertise in gut health, pain reduction, sleep issues, and anxiety. Rather than claiming to address 100 conditions, we maintain deep competency in our areas of specialization.

Research-Informed Techniques

Our methodology incorporates current neuroscience research on brain states and rapid symptom reduction. We stay current with peer-reviewed literature.

Professional Standards

Comprehensive Background Checks

All practitioners undergo criminal record checks and vulnerable sector screening. We maintain professional liability insurance and adhere to strict ethical guidelines.

Professional Oversight

ARCH membership means accountability to a professional body with complaint procedures, ethical standards enforcement, and mandatory continuing education.

Research-Based Approach

Clinical hypnosis induces a specific brain state that facilitates rapid change. Unlike entertainment hypnosis, our methodology is grounded in neuroscience research on focused attention, suggestibility, and neuroplasticity.

Neuroscience-Informed

Our techniques leverage research on how focused brain states enable faster access to subconscious patterns driving symptoms.

Outcome-Focused

We measure success by visible symptom improvement within 3 sessions, not by session count or time in practice.
