Hypnotism is a safe and effective intervention for a variety of motivational, self improvement and goal setting situations. It is natural and free of side effects. When performed by a certified, competent practitioner results are often long lasting and permanent.

The National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) has ethical guidelines which all members must adhere to. The NGH holds to the ideal that hypnotism should be practiced in a free and open manner in line with all national and state requirements. NGH Hypnotists are not practicing medical or mental health arts (unless additional credentials are held by the member). NGH certified hypnotists do not diagnose disease, but can be helpful as an adjunct to conventional medical or mental health interventions.
