The Hypno Dojo

The Hypno Dojo

the Hypno Dojo is a place of learning for anyone interested in or learning about Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy. There are three essential parts of having a successful practice; Mindset, Mastery and Marketing. By Mindset, I mean that you need to be free of any limiting beliefs that could stand in the way of your practice thriving. Many people in the alternative health practices do not think like a businessperson or they have a lack mentality or feel "icky" selling themselves and their services.So, at times The Hypno Dojo will focus on helping you to develop a mindset of abundance, self belief and business acumen. To be a Master s to have developed excellence in the skills of Hypnotherapy. You should be able to gt tangible results with a client within three sessions and know what to do if that is not the case. So--at times I will be giving you tips and hints to develop your skill as a Hypnotherapist. And, of course, what good is great skill and a good attitude if your ideal clients cant find you? The third essential that you must have in place is your marketing. Hypnotherapy is unique because there is stigma and misunderstanding about what we do. So we must market in a way that informs, educates and reassures. We must build a relationship with our potential client and earn their trust before they even contact us for a session.s I will provide plenty of strategies for marketing in a way that feels authentic.
