"This class has truly been a blessing"

I have been a massage therapist for the last 13 years and it has been taking a toll on me for some time. I knew I wanted to continue serving others, but the physical burden of massaging was draining the joy out of it for me. I woke up one morning and prayed for an undeniable sign of what my next calling was. At the time, I was volunteering twice a month at the local cancer center giving massages to cancer survivors and caregivers. One of my clients that day was a breast cancer survivor who wanted to get my business card so she could book a massage with me at my private practice. I explained to her that I was not accepting new clients as I was completely booked and that I was considering scaling back the hours I was working. This led to further discussion about why and I shared with her that while I loved what I did, it was becoming a problem for my body. She questioned what I loved most about being a massage therapist so I let her know that it was working to help each client feel their best and getting to know my clients. Turns out, she was a retired hypnotherapist and even co-owned a hypnotherapy school at one time. There was my undeniable sign. I had been kicking around the idea of hypnotherapy for years after becoming aware of Jose Silva's work. This was just what I needed to take the next steps. After researching was felt like hundreds of hypnotherapy programs, I felt exhausted and confused. There are so many options. I had read a couple of Paul McKenna's books and used some of his online tools so when I learned that Mindvalley offered a course by Paul, I knew it was the right choice for me. The course was amazing! Paul is so personable and relatable. The lessons not only provided thorough information but the examples and demonstrations provided further solidified my understanding of the processes. I would recommend this course to anyone considering pursuing hypnotherapy. Throughout the course, there were changes I noticed in my life that were side effects of learning hypnotherapy. There were areas that I was intentionally working on, like building my confidence and procrastinating less and while I noticed improvements in those areas, I was surprised to see changes for the better in other areas as well. For example, I started prioritizing things that are important to me and saying no to things that I was doing due to being a people pleaser. Now I start each day visualizing, with intention, how I want the day to unfold and I close each day visualizing my abundant, successful future one year from now. This has improved my outlook. I feel happier and have more gratitude for where I am. I am excited to start my business in the coming months and have already been sharing and opening/changing minds about what hypnotherapy is and how it is so transformational. This class has truly been a blessing!

I am already a hypnotherapist, but I learned that there are so many rules...do this...or don't do that. Once I started in this course, I learned that there are no rules. The intent is the one that counts.
