"I had so many “aha” moments, understanding how the subconscious mind works, learning to guide people into deep states of relaxation, and practicing powerful techniques"
Timea wanted to go beyond coaching and create lasting change for others. Through the Hypnotherapy Certification, she discovered powerful techniques and built the confidence to guide people into transformation, growing both professionally and personally in the process.
Before I started the Mindvalley Hypnotherapy Certification, I was already deeply passionate about personal growth and helping others unlock their potential, but I felt there was a missing piece. I wanted to go beyond coaching, beyond mindset work, and learn powerful, evidence-based techniques to create real and lasting change, both for myself and for the people I support in my professional and personal life.
When I joined the program, I didn’t know exactly what to expect, but from the very first lessons with Paul McKenna, I was completely drawn in. I loved the way he combined neuroscience, psychology, and practical hypnotherapy techniques in a way that felt empowering and approachable.
Throughout the journey, I had so many “aha” moments, understanding how the subconscious mind works, learning to guide people into deep states of relaxation, and practicing powerful techniques like progressive muscle relaxation, anchoring, havening, reframing, visual squash, and even creating transformation through control room visualizations.
The practice labs were where everything came together for me. At first, I was nervous... guiding someone through trance felt intimidating. But as I practiced, week after week, I built my confidence and learned how to create a safe, supportive space for change. One of my favorite moments was discovering just how quickly and gently people can shift when you guide them with empathy, curiosity, and respect.
Now, at the end of this journey, I feel proud, inspired, and deeply grateful. I’ve grown not just as a coach and professional, but also as a person. I trust myself more. I feel more connected to others. And I know I now have a set of tools to help people break through limitations, unlock confidence, and step into the best version of themselves.
This isn’t the end. It’s the beginning of using hypnotherapy to make a real difference.
