Huna, Hypnosis, Neuro Linguistic Programming, and Time Line Therapy® work best when a client is committed to making a positive change in themselves through the use of trance, suggestion, and positive reinforcement to adjust habits of thought, feeling, behavior, and emotion. We use our knowledge and training to help motivate clients to eliminate negative or unwanted habits, institute new positive habits, facilitate the learning process, improve memory and concentration, develop self-confidence, eliminate stage fright, improve athletic abilities, and for other social, educational, and cultural endeavors of a non-medical nature. Together we discuss the specific issues to be addressed and if the work to be done together is theraputic in nature, a medical referral by the client's doctor is required.

Education and Training

We were trained by Pamela Garrard of LVIUE (accredited by the American Board of Hypnotherapy and American Board of Neuro Linguistic Programming). We are both Certified Members of the American Board of Hypnotherapy and the National Guild of Hypnotists. Burton has taken advanced hypnosis classroom and certification training from Gerald Kein of Omni Hypnosis Training Center of Florida, and Basil has been trained and certified as a Sports Hypnotist by the National Guild of Hypnotists. We are also both trained in and are certified as Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioners by the American Board of Neuro Linguistic Programming, Time Line Therapy� Practitioners via the Time Line Therapy� Association, and in Huna (ancient Hawaiian mind/body/spirit methods) by Advanced Neuro Dynamics. In addition, we do annual continuing education to maintain our training at a high level.
