Become a Certified Hypnotist for No Charge!

The Hypnosis Motivation Institute, HMI, is a non-profit college and clinic of hypnotherapy that has been serving the Southern California area for more than 35 years. HMI was founded in 1968 by Dr. John Kappas. Dr. Kappas literally defined the profession of hypnotherapy in 1973, when he wrote and defined the profession of a "Hypnotherapist" in the Federal Dictionary of Occupational Titles. That definition remains in force and unchanged today.

Celebrating 40 years of excellence, HMI has earned the distinction of being the first and only hypnotherapy training program to become nationally accredited, by an accrediting agency authorized by the U.S. Department of Education, in Washington, D.C.

HMI's hypnotherapy clinic is home to over 50 Certified Hypnotherapists and serves more than 200 clients a week. HMI estimates that it has provided more than 250,000 hours of private hypnotherapy services in its 35 year history. It is this clinical experience that provides the foundation for HMI's Hypnotherapy Certification Training and Internship program.

HMI strives to offer the most extensive and thorough hypnotherapy training and internship program available today.

HMI offers two choices for Accredited Hypnotherapy Training.

1) HMI's RESIDENT SCHOOL is for residents of Southern California, U.S.A., HMI's resident school features an extensive, one year training and clinical internship training program. HMI's resident students attend school two evenings a week plus a minimum of one Saturday morning per month. This allows students to continue to work full-time in their traditional jobs, while preparing for the future helping others as a Certified Hypnotherapist. Eligible students can receive Federal Financial Aid, and can, in fact, start school with no money down, and not even begin paying for tuition until six months after they graduate. HMI's internship program provides students the opportunity to EARN WHILE THEY LEARN and begin their private practices in a supervised setting at the HMI clinical facilities. HMI's resident school also offers additional certification programs in NLP and Therapeutic Imagery as well as wide variety of continuing education courses for graduates.

2) HMI's DISTANCE EDUCATION SCHOOL is designed for students that live outside of the Southern California area or for students who are unable to attend evening classes. HMI's Distance Education School combines private tutorial instruction with videotaped instructions to bring the country's ONLY Nationally Accredited Hypnotherapy Certification program to the privacy and convenience of your own home.
