INTERNATIONAL HYPNOTISTS GUILD
“It is amazing what people can do, and that they are not aware they can do. ”
Milton H. Erickson, Hypnotist
Our Story
Hypnosis is a name for different ways of getting into a state of mind where you are incredibly focused. It can be used for mind training, pain relief, coaching, therapy and entertainment. When we started working with hypnosis we saw a need for a space where anybody and everybody interested in this can meet and change experiences. Where there is a code of ethics. Where you can get advice as a budding hypnotist, a seasoned professional or if you have second thoughts about a hypnotist.
"Mind governs the world"
