My Long Hypnotic Life
I believe I first became interested in hypnosis after seeing the word "hypnotize" in My Grandmother's Webster's Dictionary.
I thought that was the most interesting word my six-year-old eyes had ever seen! I knew by its complexity that I would have
to be a bit older before I was able to fully explore the meaning.
Well...not MUCH older, for I hypnotized My first
subject, a cousin, successfully at age 11. I played hypno-games with several cousins and classmates until I reached college.
I learned more there by raiding the Psychology section of the University library.
I took My first professional hypnotist
under when I was 17.
The gent actually thought I was name-dropping when I told him the name of the head of the psych
lab, and that perhaps I did not know how to hypno, but was only attempting to impress. He got quite a surprise as I demonstrated
the effect known as "intantaneous transport", where the hypnotic subject starts out awake in one place, then suddenly seems
to be somewhere totally different, with no idea how he got there, as there was no apparent passage of time.
I met
My now-separated husband shortly afterward, and naturally, we decided to use hypnosis for all of our children's births. After
our last child was born, I finally went for My Certification in clinical hypnosis, as I felt I should have years before. It
has now
been nearly 20 years since My Certification in 1984 was approved by the California Professional Hypnotists' Licensing Board.
I recently updated My Certification by becoming an Internationally Certified and Accredited Hypnotist through the International
Hypnosis Organisation, Licensed by and based in Falmouth, Cornwall, Commonwealth of The United Kingdom. You may find the IHO

During My professional career, I have done childbirth training, anger management, weight control, pain alleviation, spiritual
journeys and most other common hypnotheraputic tasks.
