This is just the beginning, and I am so grateful to be on this incredible journey.
After years of postponing her career to care for her daughter with special needs, Marie discovered hypnotherapy skills that not only launched her professional path but also helped manage her child's chronic pain and anxiety—transforming both their lives.
Before I began the Mindvalley Certified Hypnotherapist course I had been considering how best to return to professional life after having dedicated over a decade to focusing on running a household and raising children. I had plans to be fully integrated as a professional and mother by the time my youngest daughter was in school full-time. However, life got life and I discovered that due to some of my daughter’s special needs, including a diagnosis of Crohn’s disease at age five, I might have to further postpone my professional pursuits.
Thanks to this program, I will not only be able to pursue my professional aspirations, but I am also able to incorporate much of what I have learned as I care for my children—especially my daughter. My daughter’s issues with chronic pain, attention, calm, and separation have been hugely affected, and I can see that there is much more that I can do to help her using my newfound skills. I also have found direction and more of a niche passion for behavioral modification as it relates to holistic healing and creating profound personal change. I am changing my life and can see how I can do the same for many others.
I came into this program with an open mind and heart, hoping that this could be a path to creating a future for myself that had seemed elusive and off in the distance. Now, I feel directed, passionate, and compelled to do work that I believe in competently and confidently, right now. I have a renewed interest in using my voice literally and figuratively to help create positive change in my own life and the lives of others. This is just the beginning, and I am so grateful to be on this incredible journey.
