At the Institute of Interpersonal Hypnotherapy, you’ll develop the skills to serve others, build a purposeful career, and open the door to your own growth and Self-discovery.
This training was unlike anything else — it combined practical skills with profound personal transformation, all in a supportive and heart-centered environment.
When I first began training at, I didn’t set out with the intention of starting my own practice. I was simply drawn to the work because of my own life challenges. What I didn’t realize at the time was how deeply the experience would transform me. Through the intuitive flow of the curriculum, and with the encouragement of Matthew Brownstein (the Institute’s founder), the staff, and my fellow classmates, something began to shift. My life started changing right before my eyes, and I knew I was stepping into something far greater than I had imagined.
One of the most beautiful and unexpected gifts of this journey has been the lifelong friendships I’ve gained. Our graduation celebration, led entirely by the students, brought people from across the country together to honor our shared accomplishment. That weekend included an opening meditation led by Matthew Brownstein via Zoom and our very own in-person closing circle. It was filled with laughter, heartfelt conversations, and a sense of connection that reminded me we are never truly alone on this path.
What makes this program so unique is how it blends practical techniques with profound personal growth. It’s rare to find training that offers not only skill-building but also an invitation into deeper self-discovery. If you’re considering this training, know that it’s about more than professional skills—it’s about personal transformation. I understand what it’s like to feel hesitation, fear, or uncertainty. I’ve been there. The beauty of this program is that you’ll be met exactly where you are, supported as you navigate your own growth, and encouraged to discover the strength and clarity that’s already within you.
Each journey is unique, yet so many of us share similar emotional landscapes. That’s why I love holding space for those moments when it all clicks—the ones that remind us that, in our differences, we are often more alike than we realize.
I can confidently say the Institute provided the most thorough and life-changing training I’ve ever experienced, and it continues to set the standard for hypnotherapy education. If you have questions or would like to learn more about my experience as a student, please feel free to reach out.
