"It feels like the start of a whole new exciting career—new tools, new purpose, and a whole new way to support transformation"
After retiring from special education and IT training, Brenda discovered hypnotherapy as her next chapter. The Mindvalley Hypnotherapy course transformed her retirement into an exciting new career, giving her fresh tools and purpose to support transformation in others and herself.
In August 2025, I retired… and promptly discovered that I am not very good at doing nothing. After years in primary special education and running and designing IT courses for educators, I realised I wasn’t ready to close the book—just start a new chapter. I chanced upon the Mindvalley Hypnotherapy course and found myself signing up for it. It brought together my love of learning, creativity, and human potential. Graduating as a Mindvalley Hypnotherapist feels less like retirement and more like the start of a whole new exciting career—new tools, new purpose, and a whole new way to support transformation (including my own) and be part of a wonderful, supportive community .
