Featured
Hypnotherapist: Ian Blaine
Ian has done all
three Hypnotherapy courses with Hypnosis New Zealand and is a proud
Senior Professional Member of HNZ. He works from his clinic in
Remuera / Newmarket, Auckland - and specialises in Weight Loss and Stop
Smoking cessation; both one to one and as group sessions.
Ian enjoys watching the positive results Hypnotherapy has to offer as a
fast, safe, natural form of treatment. It feels good to help
clients go deep within to where they house their beliefs, habits and
patterns and help them harness their own natural ability to overcome
their problems or bring drug free relief.
In 2008 Ian helped some nurses stop smoking and was asked if he would
like to do a fundraiser Hypnosis Show for an area of their
hospital. The show went great with positive feedback, which gave
Ian a new passion for Comedy Stage Hypnosis. He now does several
Comedy Stage Hypnosis Shows each year for corporate events, Christmas
functions, and to help schools and clubs with fundraising.

November Hypnotherapy Course
 The next Hypnosis New Zealand 5 Day Modern Suggestive Hypnotherapy Course is November 7th - 11th in Auckland.
It's
aimed at those who are serious about using Hypnotherapy in a
professional practice; either as a stand-alone modality, or in
conjunction with Counseling, NLP, Life Coaching, etc. It's
suitable for absolute beginners, or those who have already had a little
experience and want to boost their knowledge via a very hands-on course.
This course is interactive, fast-paced and focused on the teaching you
to become a competent Hypnotherapist. Learn all the in-depth
skills of Modern Suggestive Hypnotherapy and so much more! As well as loads of practice with your classmates, it
features an afternoon of REAL clients with REAL issues to practice your
Hypnotherapy techniques on. On completion of this practical
course and associated open book examination, you will receive the
Hypnosis New Zealand Diploma of Hypnotherapy.
The
full price of this course is just $1400.00 - but you can save
$200.00 if you pay 4 weeks or more before the course, or even
more if you are a recent past HNZCH student! Read more about this popular course here
Grant's Top Tips For Choosing a Hypnotherapy Course
There are many factors that may influence your decision
of which Hypnotherapy course and tutor is right for you. You'll probably already have some idea as to
why you want to learn Hypnotherapy and to what level. Maybe it's as a personal life-skill; to
complement an existing natural therapy business; or to practice solely as a
professional Hypnotherapist.
Whatever your
reason, there is probably a course to suit your needs. With some training establishments you can
start with a gentle home-study course to test the waters. You can even
begin a career in Hypnotherapy with the better ones - as long as it's a properly structured Homestudy Course with support, examinations and a certificate on completion. Or, a Classroom Course may be more your style
and is certainly a popular option - especially if you're already certain about
learning Hypnotherapy. Whatever your
thoughts, I trust that my following personal views and opinions may assist you
in your choice of properly structured course and effective tutor.
I wrote
this guide mainly to highlight the professional, flexible,
open, friendly,
supportive way that I personally like to work with my students - and to
highlight the many advantages of my courses and what I consider that I
do better than others. Following this guide may well help you
avoid any possible pitfalls of signing on to a course that may be less
than you anticipated and cost more than it's worth. You're always
welcome to email me or call me
on 0800 TRANCE (0800 872623) to discuss the advantages of my Hypnosis New Zealand
Hypnotherapy courses.
Rapport Between You and Your Tutor:
Firstly and most importantly, I suggest very strongly
that you talk in person with your potential tutor to make sure he/she is
experienced, knowledgeable and personable. Make absolutely certain that this is
the person who will actually be fronting the class for the majority of the lessons!
You'll be potentially working with, and be associated with,
this tutor for many years after your course, so choose one with a genuine
passion for openly sharing and passing on his/her knowledge and support - and
guiding you into becoming an integral part of the mainstream Hypnotherapy
profession in NZ.
Your tutor should be prepared to become your personal mentor, your
colleague (and probably your friend) for life, so it makes good sense to be of
similar mindset, motivation and personality.
Information, Communications and Support:
Two-way communications pre and post course are vitally
important, so make absolutely certain that you can contact the tutor at any
reasonable time - by a variety of methods. If you have a question, or
require support, you need to know your tutor is readily available and willing
to assist. They should provide you with at least their business, free-phone &
mobile phone numbers; their constantly monitored email address and their
physical & postal addresses.
Was all of the detailed information about the course easy
to find and understand; or did you have to go hunting high and low for
prices,
dates, course content, etc? If a trainer
is open and forthcoming about what is taught, when, where, and for what
price, before the course; then he/she will probably be equally as
sharing and supportive during and after the course.
Also, I advise you to check the standard time taken to assess your post course
examination; contact you to discuss it and forward your qualification
certificate or diploma to you. This should only take a matter of days!
I suggest that you test the communications willingness and capability of
your prospective tutor by calling them and emailing them before committing to
their training.
Reputation of Your Tutor/Course:
Popular, well established training courses will have
plenty of recent testimonials, comments & reviews readily available, so
please read them! Remember that a good number of recent positive
testimonials probably means many happy students. Capitalise on the
experiences and reports of those recent past students.
Is your chosen tutor an integral part of mainstream
Hypnotherapy in New Zealand? A Registered Hypnotherapist, a member of
one (or
more) reputable NZ Hypnotherapy Associations and of the NZ Hypnotherapy
Federation? Ask your potential tutor how
many years he/she has been both practicing and teaching Hypnotherapy? And more importantly, how many students they have trained? And most importantly; how
many of those are now practicing as professional Hypnotherapists?
Course Content:
There are two common and effective styles of
Hypnotherapy: Suggestive and Analytical. Ideally, I believe that the
Suggestive
Hypnotherapy techniques should be learned, experienced and mastered
separately
- before progressing on to the more complicated Analytical Hypnotherapy
styles.
Make certain your tutor can provide training and support for both of
these styles.
Sure, there are many other natural health modalities that
combine very well with Hypnotherapy; but in my opinion, a Hypnotherapy course
should concentrate on teaching you to become a competent Hypnotherapist. The inclusion of
other natural therapies in a course curriculum may make some Hypnotherapy
courses appear more comprehensive than they really are - and blur the lines as to
what does and does not constitute Hypnotherapy. So ask your potential
tutor for a full list of course contents - and preferably even a course timetable to
check each topic's relevance.
Also, it's worth checking how much of the time taken for
the Hypnotherapy course is in face-to-face practical interaction with tutor and classmates - compared to
study in your own time. In other words,
find out whether you're paying to be taught in a classroom/practical situation,
or to mostly do your own reading and research and then take months afterwards writing up screeds of assignments.
Financial Considerations:
Make certain you pay a fair price for your Hypnotherapy
education. After all, it's a safe natural therapy and should be easily
within the reach of anyone who chooses to learn it. The course
pricing (including GST) should be clearly advertised by the trainer and be
realistically structured for a natural therapy.
Some courses may require an application fee or deposit -
and may even insist on you buying certain publications in order to complete the
course. So ask about any hidden extras that you may have to pay for in
order to begin, participate in, or complete the course; or any of its associated
assignments and examinations.
Find out under what circumstances any money paid by you
is refundable, or transferable to another course. NB: Check out
the
refund policy of the training establishment! Also, it pays to
check which city any replacement/alternative course will be held in,
because you may have to meet extra
travel and accommodation costs if it's held in a different location
from that
which you originally signed up for.
Legal Considerations:
Hypnotherapy in NZ is relatively free and unregulated;
reflecting its fine safety and effectiveness record as a natural therapy.
So therefore, there is little need for specific governmental legislation or
control in NZ. You must of course run your Hypnotherapy practice in
conjunction with the general laws of the land, including: Occupational Safety
& Health; Inland Revenue; The Fair Trading Act; The Commerce Commission;
The Health & Disability Commissioner; etc.
When you enrol for a course, be careful about signing
away any future rights to practice as a Hypnotherapist. Some trainers may
require you to do this! You might have
to complete a certain part of, or even all of, their course and pass their
examination processes before practicing professionally - or even before you hypnotise anyone at all, for any reason!
Qualifications Offered:
Each individual trainer in NZ awards either their own
independent qualification, or maybe one from an overseas organisation. This should be awarded immediately on
completion and passing of the course examination(s). Remember to ask what
the standard time for assessing your examination might be and how soon
afterwards you'll receive your qualification certificate or diploma from them.
Please also be aware that there is no NZQA qualification
for Hypnotherapy in New Zealand. An NZQA qualification for
Hypnotherapy was indeed proposed and worked towards a few years back, but it was
dropped in its final stages by the NZQA before instigation. So while a
training establishment may itself have NZQA accreditation, no-one can offer an
NZQA Qualification in Hypnotherapy - because there quite simply is not one.
Final Word:
Hypnotherapy
is a wonderfully simple and effective natural therapy, that is easily
learned and practiced within reasonable time and money
parameters. So please check
carefully that the courses that
you're investigating can offer you the results that you are seeking,
within the
time and money boundaries you're comfortable with. Most importantly,
please call the trainer and discuss details of the training with
him/her before committing to any course. You're most welcome to call me on 0800 TRANCE (0800 872623) for a chat about any of my courses. Positive regards, Grant Boddington.

A little over a month ago - on
September 1st, Karen & I launched a great webpage service for all NZ Natural Therapists.
Natural Therapists of New Zealand is set to become one of the most
effective and popular resources of its type in NZ. Check out the bright, fresh & user-friendly new site here: www.naturaltherapists.co.nz
As introductory specials, we are offering all NZ Natural Therapists:
- FREE TRIAL WEBPAGE FOR YOU AND YOUR THERAPY! (For 6 months)
- FREE ADVERTISING FOR YOUR TRAINING EVENTS! (For the rest of 2011)
- submit your information now for a free advert on this page.
Once you've sent us your information (using the form provided) your webpage will be created within a day or two and be simply and clearly designed to keep visitors on it
- rather than lure them off by many tempting exit links. The
simple effective design, combined with very reasonable pricing (after your free 6 months trial period)
makes this a great alternative to other similar services that are
around twice the price. So, this is probably the best value
webpage deal for natural therapists in NZ!
This is a great opportunity to either have a professional webpage to
provide your first internet presence - or to supplement an existing
website you already own. The more sites with your name on them,
the better! On the internet, just like day-to-day life: A crowd creates a crowd! NTNZ is already #1 for searches for "Natural Therapists" on Google NZ, Yahoo NZ and Bing NZ! (Click those links to see where we rank today.)
