Sally Reed

My name is Sally Reed and I am a Consulting Hypnotist and a Certified Master NLP Hypnotherapist with an interesting background in architecture, mathematics and special education, as well as being a passionately dedicated natural health researcher. For over 30 years, I have been studying personal growth and complementary healing techniques.

The credentials to look for when choosing a hypnotherapist would be that the hypnosis training is certified and recognized by the major hypnosis organizations. My master practitioner level work was done in 2001 through a private university specializing in Hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Bennett Stellar University, which is recognized by the Professional Board of Hypnotherapy, the National Guild of Hypnotists, and the Society of NeuroLinguistic Programming.

When choosing a hypnotherapist, be sure they have training in NLP (NeuroLinguistic Programming) because that provides a critical level of expertise in both verbal and non-verbal communication.

On a regular basis, usually each month, I attend continuing education seminars and presentations provided by professional hypnosis trainers.

The National Guild of Hypnotist's prefers the title of Consulting Hypnotist, mostly to clarify that we are not providing medical care, but the State uses the term Registered Hypnotherapist. There is really not a difference between the two in terms of the actual hypnosis provided.

It is also my personal opinion that a hypnotist have some kind of training and expertise in energy work and energy healing, which is now often referred to as biofield therapies. Even if the hypnotist does not actually use the energy work modalities in their hypnosis practice, it helps the hypnosis practitioner be more clear and present, allowing them to be centered and focused in their work.

My areas of training and expertise include: Consulting Hypnotist; Certified Master Hypnotherapist; Certified Neuro Linguistic Programming Master Practitioner; and Personal Coach.

The Biofield Therapies include: Professional Flower and Energy Essence Practitioner, Energy Healing, Emotional Release Meridian Tapping, Theta Healing, Sound Healing, Educational Kinesiology, Ka Hana Pono Hawai'ian Healing and Breathing techniques.

I am also a Reiki Master and received my attunements through Marie Manuchehri. Along with being a Reiki Master, I have been attuned in the first 4 Rites of the Munay-Ki: Bands of Power, Healers Rite, Harmony Rites, and the Seer Rites. I have my Ministerial Credentials through World Reiki Ministry.

For many years I have done advocacy work as a Professional Special Needs Advocate for children and adults with specific learning disabilities and other special needs.
