Learn The Scientifically Validated Hypnotherapy Methodology

Integral Hypnotherapy®

Proven by Science, Powered by Compassion®

NIH-Funded Research Demonstrates New Hope for Millions

A 4-year, $3 million successful clinical trial, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and conducted at the University of New Mexico Hospital, utilized the Hypnotherapy Academy of America’s Integral Hypnotherapy® methodology. 


This research not only demonstrated the effectiveness of Integral Hypnotherapy® but also opened the door to thousands of medical referrals for hypnotherapists trained in our scientifically validated methods.

A Legacy of Excellence

The success of this NIH-funded study builds on decades of dedication by the Academy’s directors, Tim and Angela Simmerman-Sierra, and Associate Instructor (seen here in the photo) Robert Sapién, MD, MMM, PhD, CMS-CHt, FIBH.

Robert Sapién also ran the successful pilot study that led to the larger NIH-funded clinical trial. The contributions of our team have advanced the field of hypnotherapy, combining the healing power of hypnosis with the scientific rigor of modern medicine.

As a student at HAA, you’ll benefit from this legacy of innovation and excellence bringing hypnotherapy into the mainstream.

A Historic Scientific Milestone

A four-year, $3 million study, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and conducted at the University of New Mexico Hospital, utilized the Hypnotherapy Academy of America’s Integral Hypnotherapy® methodology. The study aimed to determine whether hypnotherapy was inferior in the effectiveness of the current standard medical treatment for OAB/UUI.


The latest scientific research highlights the transformative power of hypnotherapy, proving its ability to mobilize the mind’s healing capacity to produce evidence-based results. One groundbreaking study focused on Overactive Bladder (OAB)/Urinary Urgency Incontinence—a chronic condition that affects 33 million Americans, or one-tenth of the population.

The results were extraordinary:

  • Patients receiving our Integral Hypnotherapy® experienced results equivalent to and in most cases superior to the standard medical treatment.
  • Those who were moderately to highly responsive to hypnosis showed superior outcomes during the one-year follow-up.
  • The study validated hypnotherapy as an effective, evidence-based treatment option, especially for those seeking a holistic approach to wellness.

Creates
Positive Neuroplasticity!

This clinical trial stands out for its rigorous methodology, including a randomized sample of 152 patients, split into hypnotherapy and standard medical treatment groups. A functional MRI was conducted in a sampling of the cohort before and after treatment. The group that received our Integral Hypnotherapy® sessions manifested positive neuroplasticity!
