Transpersonal Hypnotherapy Certification Course (CHt)

Step into a transformative five-day immersion in transpersonal hypnotherapy—a powerful modality that bridges clinical expertise with spiritual depth. Led by Linda Thunberg, president and CEO of the National Association of Transpersonal Hypnotherapists, this 120-hour certification program teaches you to guide clients into expanded states of consciousness where profound healing becomes possible. Whether you're new to hypnotherapy or an experienced practitioner seeking to deepen your clinical toolkit, this course at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY offers the comprehensive training and hands-on practice needed to work with integrity and skill.

Transpersonal hypnotherapy moves beyond symptom relief to address the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. Over five intensive days beginning Sunday, August 23, 2026, you'll learn holistic interview and induction techniques, self-hypnosis applications, and evidence-based protocols for supporting clients working with addictions, fears, weight management, stress, and psychosomatic concerns. This isn't theoretical learning alone; you'll practice with peers, receive live demonstrations, and develop the confidence to safely facilitate deeper states of consciousness. By the end of the program, you'll hold a recognized certification and a skillset that honors both the science and the sacred dimension of this healing work.

What to Expect

Expect an intimate learning environment where theory and practice weave together seamlessly. Each day combines didactic instruction, live demonstrations from Linda Thunberg, and supervised peer practice sessions where you'll experience hypnotherapy firsthand—both as practitioner and as client. You'll master foundational techniques like progressive relaxation and imagery work, then advance to addressing complex issues like trauma responses and limiting beliefs. The curriculum balances clinical protocols with an awareness of the transpersonal—recognizing that healing often involves spiritual insight and expanded awareness. Small group work ensures personalized feedback, and the Omega Institute setting supports the introspective, contemplative space this work requires. You'll leave with certification, detailed manuals, and a network of fellow practitioners committed to conscious, ethical hypnotherapy.
