If you have had the thought, you have already begun.

With a gentle suggestion, imagination will visualize a goal achieved, a fear vanquished, a different approach, deep relaxation and even old worries eased.

The progression of State certificed classes offered at Palo Alto School of Hypnotherapy offers straight forward methods to learn hypnotherapy techniques in an environment that is safe, monitored and supportive. I have used self-hypnosis since the 1970s for dental work, relaxation and imporoved circulation. The PASH classes have given me more tools and techniques, the confidence to help others, countless hours of monitored practice sessions, and a network of great friends.

After 10 years working in the Medical field, I realized there must be an alternative to helping people without a prescription for another pill. I had experienced hypnotherapy as a collegbe student and the experience never left my mind. When I completed raising my two children, I decided I wanted a new career. My passion has been to contribute to people in a deep and life-changing way. I heard about the internationally known Palo Alto School of Hypnotherapy and researched it and a few other hypnotherapy schools.

I had no idea when I began PASH classes in 1994 that attending the school would change my life forever. I completed all classes available, all the way through the Master's Program, and discovered a whole new world of health and healing. The teching was excellent and Josie's and Dorthy's enthusiasm and support made anything possible. Graduating from the school prompted me to open my own practice, teach seminars, lecture at Silicon Valley companies, work at hospitals and help individuals find their own voice, one by one. "Caring for your body, mind and spirit" is my motto, thanks to PASH. I recommend it to anyone interested in self-development and new frontiers. Mary Horngren@aol.com

I became interested in learning hypnotherapy because I thought it would be a valuable adjunct to my psychotherapy practice,and indeed it has been. In doing my research about where to get training, the Palo Alto School of Hypnotherapy kept emerging as having the best and most rigerous program. After completing the initial 12-week class, I continued to study with Josie and all the other excellent teachers and completed the Master's program and every class in between. I continue to use hypnotherapy in addition to psychotherapy in my private practice and I find it has helped my clients achieve the results they want effectively and quickly. When I was searching for office space some years ago, I found a small office that felt just right to me. It turns out that it had been the waiting room of the Palo Alto School of Hypnotherapy when Josie first opened the school, so her spirit continues to accompany me as I do my work.

I want to thank you for the great learning experience of the past year. While attending
the school this past year, not only was I able to increase my knowledge of Hypnotherapy,
but I have witnessed very profound changes within myself. I have become more sensitive

I have been studying therapeutic hypnotherapy at the Palo Alto School of Hypnotherapy
since 2011, and have been utterly amazed at all my discoveries!!

First, the staff’s level of professionalism and high ethical standards are so impressive!. It has been a life-changing experience on so many levels!

Hypnosis is the most effective tool I’ve found for deep and profound healing!

There just isn’t room to adequately praise the competence of training available at Palo Alto School of Hypnotherapy. Dorthy V. Tyo presents the material in a kind and conversational manner that is based on sound science, and is straight-to-the-point and complete.
