"This was an investment in myself and my whole family not just my business and my clients"

Quick summary

After leaving her corporate career due to autoimmune diseases, Melissa built a holistic healing practice but noticed clients falling back into old patterns. Paul McKenna's hypnotherapy training gave her the missing piece to create lasting transformation for her clients, family, and herself.

Before this program, I had started my business as a Reiki Master, crystal therapist, and Reflexologist after making a huge decision to leave my career of twelve years as a Root Cause Analysis Executive for a well-known insurance company. I had been diagnosed with numerous autoimmune diseases after complications giving birth twice to my two beautiful daughters. Western medicine had failed me and I was bullied at work for my disabilities despite my long years of service. I made a huge decision to push for medical retirement. I left and worked on myself holistically and eventually managed to work minimal hours again but now doing something with greater purpose. Helping people like me. Having a background in Root cause analysis I couldn’t help but spot trends in my clients. Often they would improve tremendously but then fall back into old habits when something went wrong in life. I realized that to give them long-term benefits I needed to help them change the way they thought. Their negative thought patterns were undoing all my hard work. I had been a huge fan of Paul McKenna for many years and my lifestyle and commitments to my children meant I couldn’t make the events in London in the past. When this course came out and it was online I jumped at the chance. I am still so amazed that this dream to train under Paul McKenna himself has become a reality. Since completing this course, I have successfully hypnotized my husband to start going to the gym which was a shock to me. He was almost allergic to exercise before. I have made new friends who have shared their life experiences and we have watched each other grow together. I thought I had all the tools in my toolbox to help myself and that I was just doing this to help my clients but there are things I have learned on this course that have transformed the way I deal with my pain reduction. I have learned also how to very quickly change my emotional state. I have applied these techniques to my parenting also and my children love the visualization and stories. This was an investment in myself and my whole family not just my business and my clients. Several of my existing clients can’t wait to try out hypnotherapy and some have already experienced how it works so well combined with the other therapies I practice. This course has been the splash in the ocean that I needed to make ripples.
