5-PATH® Certified Hypnotist

7th Path Self-Hypnosis® Teacher

Elissa Brinkerhoff is a Certified Hypnotherapist, who has received advanced Hypnotherapy Certification training in 5-PATH® and 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® with Calvin Banyan, in CA USA.  Initially interested in training simply as a tool to add to other forms of counseling practices, Elissa realized that Hypnosis, in and of itself, is an amazing way of creating positive change in your life. The power of hypnosis is seen in the way one can address the everyday self-defeating behaviors that need an immediate change while resolving issues from your past that hold you back from a positive and productive mindset. When healing is created in these two parts of your life, the power of the change and peace that enters your life is simply amazing.

Have you ever recalled a time when you have been driving and suddenly arrived at your destination without remembering exactly how you got there? Hypnosis, though widely misunderstood, is a state that many people experience on a daily basis. Highway hypnosis as described in the question above is an example of a form of hypnosis that people regularly experience.

Hypnosis allows you to relax both physically and mentally so that you can focus on making necessary changes in your life. It is a state in which your mind is able to more readily accept and integrate into your daily thinking  positive thought and change. Many people report feelings of inner calm, deep relaxation, and/or tingling sensations.
