INTEGRATIVE HYPNOSIS training

Melissa Tiers has been a leading teacher of hypnosis for decades.

Physicians and therapists have been flocking to the Center for Integrative Hypnosis in New York City for over 20 years to attend her trainings in person, and she has been invited to teach all over the world, from India to Brazil to Switzerland.

Now, this life-changing training is finally available virtually.

This is hypnosis for the 21st century.

Integrative Hypnosis is a comprehensive course that pulls from the most current research in neuroscience, embodied cognition and priming making this a hypnosis training.

Your clients may come to you for help with chronic pain management, phobias, anxiety, or depression.

They may come to you to improve their confidence, change their eating habits or unlock greater creativity.

In all of these cases, your client’s adaptive unconscious plays a huge role. Unconscious processing mediates every single thing they think and feel.

If you know how to access these automatic and autonomic systems and change them at will, you will know how to create precise, fast, and lasting change, every single time.

Non-authoritative, science-backed, client-centered hypnosis

Melissa’s unique approach to hypnosis has been widely acclaimed for its client-centered approach, focused on consent and putting the power in the client’s hands to create change, every time.

No more being told to close your eyes, and follow the hypnotist’s directives.

No more pretending as though the power to create unconscious change is in the practitioner’s hands.

Each step of the way, you want to be in active collaboration with the unique creativity of the client’s unconscious mind.

The safety and trust this creates is an important cornerstone of lasting change.

I have taken a lot of hypnosis trainings and nothing comes close to what I learned in training with Melissa. You don’t get lost in one specific model and thinking you have to approach hypnosis a certain way, on the contrary you get shown how to bring all the amazing elements of hypnosis to your own model. The course was full of play, laughter and fun. Highly recommend! And oh yeah, my own business has taken off like never before.

What students say

This program has been such a gift, and I’m already changing lives with what I’ve learned. Every class was packed full of information presented in a fun and creative way. Melissa gives you permission to make the tools and techniques your own, with what feels good to YOU.
If you’re even a little bit interested in hypnosis or are looking for a new superpower, here’s your chance to work with an elite leader in this field. Best decision ever!
— Heather Love
Having the opportunity to learn from Melissa was the best investment I could have made - professionally and personally. She doesn’t just teach, she empowers you to trust your own knowledge, skills, and creativity to use hypnosis in a way that is “you” rather than following a script. I love that with her approach there are endless ways of using the skills I now have in a way that is fun for me and incredibly powerful for my clients. It’s hard to put into words just how transformative her classes are, but all I can say is if you’re on the fence - do it! Zero regrets.

the curriculum

Integrative Hypnosis is the only training that combines cutting-edge neuroscience with deep trance states.

In this course, you will learn:

  • Ways to use hypnosis to kickstart the brain's ability to change itself

  • The art of therapeutic memory re-consolidation to help people change limiting beliefs and entrenched habits

  • Methods to access deep altered states for extraordinary insight and new personal narratives

  • Conversational hypnosis, which enables you to be much more targeted in your ability to create change in “everyday” interaction

  • Somatic processes that can be combined with hypnosis, including ways to calm and retrain the fight or flight response.

  • Time line techniques to lead clients into the past and future for healing, goal setting and more (this makes for some fascinating deep trances!)

  • Metaphoric interventions that awaken your client’s meaning-making, and open up their creativity

  • The art of non-verbal communication to hone your sensory acuity (this will enable you to hear the underlying beliefs and narratives at play, as well as fine-tune your own nervous system regulation to support that of your clients’)

  • Different forms of Non Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR), and techniques to help clients completely de-stress in five minutes or less

  • The latest advances in trauma-informed approaches

  • Ways to teach clients how to integrate simple hypnotic practices into their lives to put the power back into their hands to instigate and deepen their own brain change

Since I first took the training with Melissa, my coaching has not only become completely wild - in the most positive sense - but also SURGICALLY precise. As a result, the shifts I now facilitate in my clients are INCREDIBLY profound, fast, life-changing, earth-shifting, and really nothing short of magical. Everything I have learnt from Melissa weaves naturally into my existing skill set and lifts ALL of my tools to a whole other level (especially EMDR). Melissa teaches in a way that gives students the authority and confidence to be creative with the new learning right from the start.

frequently asked questions

Q. If I am not a practitioner of any kind yet, and I want to learn hypnosis anyway, can I take this course?

If you are new to the field, then we strongly suggest you first take the Integrative Change Work Certification course.

That will teach you to build the foundation of a powerful and authentic practice, and also covers self-hypnotic techniques and the lighter states of trance work.

Q. Is this course right for me if I am an alumni of the Integrative Change Work Certification?

Yes, this course was designed to be a seamless next step after ICW. The deeper dive into hypnosis will enable you to gain a new level of mastery in working with the meta pattern by using altered states of consciousness.

I have owned a brain my whole life and never knew how to use it. Melissa’s course gave me the owner’s manual I didn’t know I had been missing. If you want to spend years in therapy dissecting your past, great. If you want rapid and lasting change for yourself and your clients in days, not years, this is the course you want.
— Ashana Larsen
I feel so confident in my ability to work with any client now and bring change for them, all because of the skills I learned in Melissa’s courses. All this while staying curious and learning to find my own voice and style.
— Tamara Stupalova
MELISSA MAGIC. That is what I call it. It is not just hypnosis, it is the combination of experience, deep research, practice, intuition, mucking around and playing with constructs that become foundational building blocks. More than hypnosis, this is an experience that will immerse you and give you tools and resources to not only reconfigure your own thoughts, beliefs and preconceived notions, but equip you to make the magic happen for your Self as well as your clients and patients. You will find your BEST INVESTMENT of time, money and brain cells in this program and you will continue your journey of unfolding with curiosity, compassion and a collection of resources you never imagined but always hoped would be available.
— Kathy Casey

You, Melissa, are by far one of the best teachers I’ve ever met and worked with and it is just such a joy to learn from someone who loves to teach, loves their work, and who never stops growing and learning. You are an excellent mentor. And I especially love how you keep up on all the literature and continue to weave it all into your work and share it with students, it’s the most transparent learning experience I think I’ve ever had.
— Shanti Berryman

I’ve been wanting to learn hypnosis for years now, but I am so glad I got my first hypnosis certification from Melissa. Her approach is truly integrative, she has a profound knowledge of the neuroscience of change work & taught us wonderful tools and techniques to help our clients. What I enjoyed the most about Melissa’s teaching is her playfulness & curiosity. There’s no rigid script, no protocol, she teaches to think outside of the box, to play around. With her approach, each changework session feels like a dance, a co-creation that results in profound & generative changes.

She teaches you how to empower your clients with the tools for powerful change from the very first class. She truly cares about her students and blends compassion, generosity and patience with her vast and deep knowledge, personal attention, hilarious humor, and a fun, down-to-earth New York vibe that makes you just want to just hang out in class with her all day. She brings out the best in us, and not only have I learned so much but I have also made lifelong friends in her classes.
