Explore professional hypnotherapy certification training, along with education in NLP and EFT, with Michael D. Milson, a Michigan-based trainer and Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist who has been working with clients since 2014.

My Philosophy & Approach

My Mission: Practical, Effective, and Continual Learning in Hypnotherapy.

My approach centers on practical and continuous learning. With my certification in hypnotherapy, EFT, and NLP, I prioritize methods that work in real-world settings. My programs are structured to give students both foundational skills and adaptable techniques that build confidence and mastery.

Since 2014, I've been dedicated to learning, practicing, and integrating the most effective techniques from top trainers and methods worldwide. Testing what works and what doesn't with my own clients. Here, you’re not only learning the "how" of hypnotherapy, NLP, and EFT, you’re taught to adapt to each unique client and situation, focusing on practical, hands-on skills and principles.

  • Practical Adaptability: Craft sessions that flow naturally, responding to each client’s needs.

  • Continuous Support: Access to an ongoing support group and mentorship even after training.

  • A Clear, Simplified Approach: Learn what truly works without the fluff or overwhelm.

Turn Your Interest in Hypnosis into Skills You Can Use

Professional Hypnotherapy Certification Training

There is a moment when something you have been learning begins to feel like something you can actually do. A conversation flows more easily. You notice a response you might once have missed. You find a useful next step instead of wondering what to say.

This training gives you opportunities to build that experience, with teaching, demonstrations, guided practice and feedback as you develop your skills.

You will work toward being able to:

  • Help people see a way forward. Learn to explore what someone wants to change and help them discover possibilities they may not have considered.

  • Find your words with greater confidence. Develop ways of communicating that help people engage their imagination, consider a different perspective and move toward their goals.

  • Respond to the person in front of you. Learn to notice what is happening and adapt your approach as a session unfolds, rather than depend on a written script to tell you what comes next.

  • Put your learning into practice. Build experience supporting goals such as greater confidence, changing unwanted habits and feeling more capable in everyday situations.

Your training at a glance

  • Live online through Zoom. Ask questions, watch demonstrations, practice and receive feedback, with the interaction you would expect from an in-person class, wherever you join from.

  • 10 live class days. Each nine-hour day includes 1.5 hours for lunch and breaks, providing 75 hours of live instruction and guided practice across the course.

  • 20 additional supervised practice meetings. Each weekly Zoom meeting lasts at least one hour, with me present so you can practice, ask questions and receive guidance.

  • At least 95 hours of live training and supervised practice. Independent study, reviewing recordings and extra practice with classmates are additional.

  • Recordings and course resources. Revisit lessons in your private member area and use the supporting materials as you develop your understanding.

  • A clear path to completion. Earn your MHI certificate of completion through participation, demonstrated skills and successful completion of the course requirements, including the exam. Graduates can apply separately for optional International Hypnosis Association certification, subject to its requirements and approval. Its annual investment is paid directly to IHA.

Next group starts March 6th, 2027.

Classes normally meet Every Other Saturday, 9 AM - 6 PM Eastern Time.

The weekly practice meeting day and time will be confirmed separately.

You do not need previous hypnosis training to begin. Bring your curiosity, your willingness to practice and the desire to discover what you can do with these skills.

EFT Certification
