What our students say about us

I have absolutely loved this course. Each session has taught me so much and I feel confident in pursuing my dream of becoming a qualified hypnotherapist. Lauren has taught me so much and I will forever be grateful for the knowledge I now have.

A very informative and fun course. I really enjoyed learning about all the different aspects of hypnotherapy techniques.

One of the most interesting parts of the course is how it makes you think about yourself and the changes you can make. Lauren is a great teacher, open minded and always willing to help and adapt where needed.
