What Graduates Are Saying

“I had over 500 hours of hypnotherapy training before attending the Hypnotherapy Academy of America; however, I felt that I was missing some important concepts and skills, so I went to the Academy hoping to get what I was unable to get from other training. My goals were completely fulfilled. I received a solid foundation in hypnosis and hypnotherapy and learned how to take hypnotherapy to new heights and greater depths. As a result of the Academy training, I now do hypnothic work more efficiently and more effectively than with my prior training. Because the quality of my work as a hypnotherapist has significantly improved through Academy training, I can offer greater value to my patients, and I can more easily market my practice.
“While there are several aspects of the Academy’s training I consider superior, five aspects stand out in particular:

First, they teach solid and practical clinical skills and then reinforce them with demonstrations and practice.

Second, they teach material in multiple ways in order to support learning of students with different learning styles and backgrounds, and they are flexible in how they present concepts and techniques.

Third, they teach principles as well as techniques, which helps students to apply what they learn in flexible and adaptable ways.

Fourth, they support student learning with well-organized written material in manuals that are continually being adjusted according to student responses and feedback.

Fifth, they focus on the importance of practitioners living the principles and developing personally. In addition, the training is professional and is taught by instructors who are not only clinically accomplished but who are also obviously committed to educational excellence.

“Because of the quality of training and because of the deeply enriching personal experiences students receive, I highly recommend the Hypnotherapy Academy of America for any lay person, health professional or mental health professional who wants to become an excellent hypnotherapist.”

Greg Freedman

MD, Director, Colorado Institute of Behavioral Medicine Boulder, CO

"After training at a school close to home, I realized I needed more. The Hypnotherapy Academy's comprehensive training was well worth it. Now I feel confident and know exactly what to do to help others."

Jeff Albrecht

Breckenridge, CO

"In 26 years of formal education, I've never had a course that so finely integrated theory and practice. I am leaving the Academy with greater confidence in my skills than ever before."

Linda Knight

Grand Rapids, MI

"The quality of material taught, combined with live demonstrations and supervised practice, creates a level of training excellence not found at any hypnosis school on the entire East Coast. I am happy to have traveled to New Mexico for my certification training."

Elaine Hoyo

New York City, NY

I trained at a different hypnosis school… “I took a course before, at another school, in 2007, but until I came to the Hypnotherapy Academy in Albuquerque, I had no idea how inadequately I was trained.

“In fact, the first time around I can truly say that I spent good money, went to class a week a month for 12 months and didn’t have the confidence to do a session. “Now, at the Academy, with what I have learned, I am confident, competent, knowledgeable and fully confident that I can go into full practice after my graduation. “The information, the techniques, the adequate hours and hours of practice will be forever ingrained in my mind, and I am forever grateful for that awesome experience. It is a privilege for me to be associated with such a group of professionals with such high standards for themselves, for the students and the industry as well. “I am so happy that I finally attended the Hypnotherapy Academy of America!”

Gerard St. Villier

"I am amazed by the wealth of knowledge, experience and love that Tim Simmerman-Sierra so freely shares with his students and the world. Through hypnosis, MY WORLD IS OPENING UP BEYOND MY DREAMS!”

I have learned more valuable information and acquired BETTER TOOLS FOR LIFE in just five weeks at the Hypnotherapy Academy than my $110 thousand, four-year education at Vanderbilt University!
