Johan Vosloo:
"Hi Claudia, Once again thank you very much for the intuitive training on Saturday, I cannot believe we spent 8 hours with you, it all went so quickly. You have me totally hooked and I definitely would like to do all the courses available, when I got home I just could not stop talking about the unbelievable experience. All possible doubts have been erased, I just want to know and learn more. With the knowledge gained and listening to your CD I had an excellent night rest, something I have not experienced in years. You are a wonderful instructor / teacher, thank you for sharing that with us."

I had a life changing awakening experience this morning. My puzzle started to fall quite quickly perfectly into place and I realised why I was doing the things I did. My days are brighter and I feel like I was asleep for a very very very long time and now I am wide awake! ".

How do you feel the workshop will influence your future life? "Positively Profound".

Anita Ludski:
"The content of the "Group Hypnosis" Course well researched, developed and beneficial even in my private healing practice. I found that every dynamic of the group aspect is just as important in my one on one personal consultations. I found the Hypnotic Language section to be of particular interest and of tremendous value. The use of Metaphors, Deepeners, Pacing, Semantics and Patterns of Indirect Suggestion have been emphasized at each of the training courses I have attended but this one made just so much more sense. I have always known semantics and patterns of indirect suggestion to be fundamental to the development of a successful script but the material and the way in which this was presented made a significant impact on me and has enhanced my ability to write more elegant and more subtle scripts, with obvious benefits to my clients. This course has given me an opportunity to further develop and improve my skills to enable me to deliver a more professional and efficient service as a Hypnotherapist. I love what I do and I find it extremely rewarding and satisfying to be able to help people heal and change their lives. I do this by choice and there is nothing else I would rather do . I love it! I started my private healing practice full time about 18 months ago, it is very successful. Although I love what I do, this is my business and in order to make it viable, I need to continually market myself and my business. I see Group Hypnosis as an excellent marketing tool to increase my income, not only by holding Group Sessions but by natural progression to increase my private/personal client base by more word of mouth advertising. As you know, word of mouth advertising is the best form of advertising, isn't it? I certainly recommend this course to everyone who is serious about Hypnosis as a profession."

Testimonials: Past Past Life Regression and Soul Journey Speciality Course (PLR)  - click here for course info

Des Attwood CHT

Past Life Regression is a fascinating subject which was so brilliantly brought to life (excuse the pun), by Claudia at the groundbreaking Past Life Regression and Soul Journey course on 3/4th September 2011. Even the harshest skeptic would not be able to refute the highly credible examples shown on the course, the origin of which is from well respected and recognized sources. All practicing Hypnotherapists should consider gaining an understanding and sensitivity to PLR as this knowledge is a vital tool in any Hypnotherapy practice. No matter what your personal belief system is, your client's beliefs could differ, and a spontaneous past life may well be accessed during treatment. This reality was so well dealt with during the course. Claudia's thoroughly researched and brilliantly delivered training covered many eventualities and pitfalls, resulting in participants feeling confident and ready to deal with any therapy session detours.

The fact that the course participants represented such a wide spectrum of society, served as a fantastic precursor to the potential diverse landscape of a thriving Hypnotherapy practice. The Soul Journey component of the course is a REAL cherry on the top. What a fantastic, simple, yet effective option to be able to offer to our clients! This course differs from any other PLR courses you may have attended in the past, in that it is TOTALLY Client Centered and the focus is on the practical application thereby preparing student and qualified Hypnotherapists to be comfortable to fully integrate these skills into therapy sessions as and when needed.

Once you have attended this course, you will agree that the content is so powerful, that it should be compulsory for every SAIH trained Hypnotherapist to attend and include in his or her toolbox. Thanks to Claudia and her team for developing a course that will literally change lives!

Estelle Keen:
"Will be using this skill as part of my practice".

Mike Tyrer:
"It has touched me on a personal level, asking more about spirituality".

Roann Vollmer:
"Regression brings Progression!".

Roger Luke:
"The weekend was just amazing! The positive past life regression & soul journey for me was so beautiful and so incredibly enlightening, actually life changing!

I regressed to a life as a monk in Tibet passing over during meditation in a temple in the mountains. The soul journey took me to the most magical blissful place where there were thousands of souls in the form of white pulsating energy masses that were joined together in the God consciousness of absolute love and oneness. WOW!

I facilitated my sweetheart on a positive PLR last night for two and half hours which was absolutely incredible and life changing for both of us.

I am amazed at how easy this process is and how powerful the soul screening process is."

Karen Bloem:
"This workshop has brought me extreme clarity on what hypnosis is.  This clarity raised  from 1) many examples ; 2) simplicity of content; 3) scientific explanations of some more abstract topics.  Dr Jains “ unlearning” sums it all up perfectly- we don’t need to learn more, rather just 'let it go'!".

Mike Tyrer:
"The Course has introduced me to another perspective of life and the functioning of my mind".

Graduate Testimonials  

Fahrin
Fahrin Mamdani CHT:
"Here's something about my studying experience at SAIH and some future plans...

Studying at SAIH was one of the best learning experiences I have had. Hypnosis is a very useful therapeutic tool and I feel that it is not something that cannot be taught theoretically. All the instructors - yourself (all the modules), Vic (auto-hypnosis and CC1), Wendel (CC3 & CC4), Tom (Past Life regression) and William (who came for a little while during CC1) – used the principles of experiential learning extremely effectively. Through the practice sessions in class, I learnt a lot about myself, which in turn now enables me to understand others better.

I recently graduated with a degree in Psychology and in my opinion, modern psychotherapy, due to lack of time (on the therapists’ part) and financial resources (on the clients’ part), has unfortunately become more of a damage-control mechanism and tends towards putting a “plaster over a crack” and curing the symptoms rather than the cause of the symptoms. It is my belief that using hypnotherapy, therapists will be able to effect long-term individual change by addressing the cause of the symptoms. It is my humble hope that I will be able to touch lives in a positive manner with the tools and knowledge I gained at SAIH".
