Greetings to Northern California! Click here if you live elsewhere.

Our next new program meets on weekend days beginning January 30. We also have an accelerated class which includes weekday meetings beginning March 6. See Class Schedule for exact dates of all of our courses.

Special recession-fighting savings: We have gone years at a time without increasing tuition. Our prices have advanced much slower than inflation over the years, and we are canceling a planned tuition increase for next year. NEW: In addition, we are now offering the required texts for free for any levels of our Winter-Spring classes that are paid in full by November 24 (with a two-level minimum for the accelerated program). This is a savings over retail costs including tax averaging $62 per level. We have never offered any free texts before in the history of our school!

Even if you do not take advantage of this special offer, we recommend you make your reservation very early to guarantee your place. Our programs can fill far in advance. We have had to turn away many prospective students from full courses. You are welcome to take just a portion of any of our available programs, so we invite you to join a class even if you can just fit the first one or two levels into your schedule. Your options include to use our secure sign-up page or to call, e-mail, mail or fax your reservation.

See Hypnosis Certification Courses for details about our programs. We meet in Corte Madera, a 10-minute drive north of the Golden Gate Bridge or six minutes from the Richmond Bridge, conveniently one block from Highway 101.

One of the original state-licensed hypnotherapy schools, we have been leaders in the field for 31 years. With the largest alumni of any hypnotherapy school, we have taught thousands of graduates from over 45 countries including many leaders in the field.

HTI has all major approvals, including eligibility for National Certification by the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners, the original and largest Hypnotherapy Certification agency with over 9500 members. An aspect of their outstanding leadership in the field, Randal Churchill was the first A.C.H.E. President and completed his most recent term in 2007, while Marleen Mulder continues as A.C.H.E. Vice President.

This is an exciting time for hypnotherapists in California. HTI helped lead the way, proudly supporting Senate Bill 577, which recently became law. This landmark legislation eliminates the threat of potential technical violations of old laws regarding medical practices, and gives further validation to hypnotherapy and other complementary healing professions.

Whether you are seeking hypnotherapy training for a career, as an adjunct to a therapeutic specialty, or for personal growth or research, or whether you are a hypnotherapist seeking to deepen your mastery of the field, we hope you can participate in the priceless learning and growth experience at HTI!

"The best investment in time and money I've ever made!", "...a life changing and profoundly deep spiritual experience!", "...far exceeded my wildest expectations...", "...like a fairy-tale where miracles can be worked easily...". See our website or brochure for detailed graduate comments.

We all know from experience what a tremendous difference a very special teacher can make. Marleen Mulder and Randal Churchill are dedicated to the highest quality education, continuing to use their vast skills and experience to teach 90% of our highly experiential courses. No one could copy the transfomative live demonstrations and follow-up discussions given by these master teachers. HTI's other instructors have all mastered particular aspects of the field as well as providing wonderful teaching skills.

Obviously, as important as the number of classroom hours is the quality of time spent. We prepare our students for the hypnotherapy field with an extraordinary repertoire of skills. Emphasizing comprehensive solutions to achieve lasting change, we teach working interactively with the whole person, clearing underlying causes of unwanted attitudes, emotions and behavior. For further reasons besides exceptional teacher quality, we believe we teach more in less time than any school in the field.

For example, Randal Churchill has written award-winning teaching texts designed for our courses. Add to that a wealth of written materials provided in each class level.

We have been honing our therapy and teaching skills in many ways, developing and improving with each new semester. We hope you can join us and experience the magic of the priceless learning and growth experience of HTI!
