Our school is one of the only training programs nationwide that offer a Supervised Clinical Internship to better prepare our graduates in building a successful practice.

Course sections may also be taken independent of the certification program.

The modalities we teach are safe, client-centered therapies that have gained worldwide recognition for their gentle, nurturing, yet influential successes in changing non-serving beliefs and behaviors. Students at the Motivational Institute of Hypnotherapy (MIOH) learn effective and reliable methods for employing hypnosis that facilitate the connection and communication between the mind, body, emotions, and energy fields. The program explores the principles and techniques of basic Ericksonian and Cognitive Behavioral Hypnotherapy in conjunction with Body Mind Theory. Through the study of Clinical Hypnotherapy, Energy Psychology, and Therapeutic Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), students gain advanced skills to assist their clients in accessing the subconscious mind to uncover personal issues, traumas, and limiting beliefs that can be released, and then guide them into achieving their desired outcome.

Your Training

Our integrative program has a particular emphasis on the Ericksonian and Cognitive Behavioral approach to hypnotherapy. This is a collaborative process between the therapist and the client that leads to the fulfillment of the client’s desired outcome. Thoughts create feelings resulting in learned behaviors, reactions, and coping styles. These approaches help clients become more aware of thought distortions that cause emotional distress and behavioral reactions that are non-serving. The integrative approach to our training helps clients to release adverse reactions to situations or events, thereby learning to generate new thoughts that allow them to embrace their potential.

Our program uses hands-on demonstrations and experiential training that leads to becoming certified as a Clinical Hypnotherapist in Integrative Hypnotherapies. This training will help you better understand the psychology of people and the manifestation of certain limiting beliefs and behaviors.

The Motivational Institute of Hypnotherapy provides you with the tools to work with the subconscious mind in creating positive, dramatic results in your life and the lives of others. While developing a solid foundation in hypnosis and hypnotherapy, you will learn to help clients achieve personal and professional transformation. We believe that for hypnotherapists to be effective with others, they need to experience and understand this process within themselves fully. Through experiential training, the hypnotherapist will become more adept in assisting their clients in their transformation and change. The completion of the 300-hours of hands-on training leads to you becoming a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist in Integrative Hypnotherapies.
