Decolonizing and Demystifying Hypnosis: A Practitioner’s Guide to Heart-Centered Work is more than a manual — it’s a call to remember, to unlearn, and to lead with love. In this guide, I invite hypnotherapists, coaches, and holistic practitioners to look beyond scripts and certifications and instead center humanity, humility, and healing.

This guide offers a grounded, culturally conscious approach to hypnosis — one that acknowledges the impact of generational trauma, honors traditional healing modalities, and resists the extractive, colonized frameworks that have long shaped our field. Through storytelling, reflection, and practical tools, you'll be encouraged to slow down, go inward, and reimagine your practice in a way that makes space for complexity, truth, and deep connection.

Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, this book is for those who believe that real healing begins with relationship — and that our work is most powerful when it’s rooted in empathy, equity, and heart.
