The vision of The National Guild of Hypnotists (of which you will be a certified member upon completion of the course) is a time when a visit to a consulting hypnotist is as common as a visit to any health care provider.
According to the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation there are currently over 4,600 practicing physicians and 13,000 nurses in Rhode Island. My estimate is that perhaps there are currently fewer than 20 practicing hypnotists in Rhode Island and no more than half a dozen actively full-time. There is plenty of room for you.
I am proud to present the names of the graduates of my first certification class. Feel free to contact them to help you with any issue that has you feeling stuck.
