Certified Hypnotist, Carol Pounds
I became a certified hypnotist in 1994 by the National Guild of Hypnotists, the oldest and largest organization of its kind for training and certifying hypnotists.
My trainer was Barry Seedman, an outstanding teacher and certified master hypnotist who has worked with many of the rich and famous over the years.
To tell you a little about my background, my name is Carol, and I have over 30 years experience as an educator.

I taught in public schools and colleges, worked in a hospital and a prison (yes an all male prison!) and did medical office billing and therapies in a chiropractic office. That’s where I first became interested in becoming a certified hypnotist.
While working with patients, I noticed many were dealing with issues other than back pain. While I was doing the therapies for these patients, they would often confide in me that they were depressed, or couldn’t lose weight or stop smoking, or had problems sleeping, or had fear of flying….you get the idea.
I empathized with them. I felt their frustration. I knew a little bit about hypnosis and started looking into it. Then I saw an announcement that the National Guild was offering hypnotist certification training and I jumped on it.
I saw so many possibilities! Learning hypnosis techniques and becoming a hypnotist could give me a way to help others achieve their goals if they were receptive. And receptive they were!
I practiced as a hypnotist in Pennsylvania and saw many people lose weight, quit smoking and lose their fears.
After moving to Florida, I concentrated on educating people about hypnotism and the high value service a hypnotist can provide by effecting life changes in people.
Hence, this website. As an educator, I believe the more people know about things they may consider unusual or questionable, the more open-minded they will be toward it.
I found that to be true with hypnosis. Once I educated someone about what hypnotism really is, the skepticism vanished and they became willing participants.
My goal here is to provide information to you to help you understand how hypnosis works and how it can help you achieve your goals.
To do this I provide you with some scripts and information that will help you to get started with self hypnosis, a powerful and effective tool for creating lasting change.
I encourage you to subscribe to my ezine to stay updated on News and Research in the field of hypnosis.
You may even want to become a certified hypnotist!
