INTEGRATIVE HYPNOSIS MASTERCLASS
The Fall Course - 2026!
This comprehensive hypnosis course is designed with the latest research in mind. It’s training that goes from foundational to master level in easy to digest modules.
You get the latest in neuroscience backed protocols that bring together techniques from neuro linguistics, neurobiology, embodied cognition and mind/body medicine.
From breaking habituated patterns to pain management and medical hypnosis this class will teach you everything you need to know to integrate hypnosis into your existing field or launch a private practice.
NOT your grandfather’s hypnosis course!
With a focus on the most current research, this curriculum brings hypnosis into the 21st century. It’s the most ambitious version of this training ever presented. It takes deep dives into the different aspects of hypnosis through six different weekend modules and weekly classes focused on different protocols spanning three months. There will be a private community group for connecting, sharing, experimenting and questions.
I’ve decided to integrate all the essential ingredients of my work into one masterclass designed to make you a kick ass evidence based hypnotist. The course is experiential with hands on practice woven through all the classes, two extra weekly bonus practices for different time zones and an extra two weeks dedicated solely to practice and embodied learning.
On completion, certification students will have access to bi weekly supervision/practice nights for as long as they want. I’ve been hosting these for over twenty years and if I have my way, my students will continue for the rest of their careers :)
As soon as you register you get the bonus eight day intensive videos so you don’t have to wait till class to start learning.
I have made the weekend modules available as stand alone workshops for those not ready for the whole course.

“As a Columbia-trained psychiatrist, I thought I knew a thing or two about therapy.
Her influence has transformed the way I practice Psychiatry, and many of my patients have been the direct benefactors.
Very few clinicians come close to Melissa's versatility in utilizing and teaching these skills. She remains one of the most talented, creative, and generous human beings I've ever encountered.”
-ANTHONY J. TRANGUCH, M.D., Phd., Private Practice Psychiatrist & Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Columbia University
MODULES
THE STRUCTURE OF CHANGE: NEUROPLASTICITY AND RECONSOLIDATION
September 26/27
This two day workshop will take your change work into the 21st century. It’s an entire system for making and breaking habituated patterns using the latest research in neuroscience. You will learn how to neutralize triggers and condition in resourceful responses as you practice strategic forms of neuroplasticity. It’s a lot more fun than it sounds.
You will learn how to unlock memories to change early emotional learnings which are at the foundation of most client issues.
Understanding the vital steps of therapeutic memory reconsolidation and how to deliver this conversationally as well as hypnotically is a game changer. It allows you to target the beliefs, behaviors and emotional habits that are formed from early childhood experience.
You will be able to explain in very simple terms the neural underpinnings of the work you do which will open up many streams of referrals from doctors and clinicians who might otherwise be skeptical of hypnosis.
Some of what you will learn:
Self-directed Neuroplasticity-This is a protocol for arming clients with different techniques to minimize anxiety, cravings and negative emotional reactivity while creating new neural pathways to rewire habituated patterns of thought, feeling and doing.
The art of therapeutic memory reconsolidation- This is the mechanism underneath most successful techniques. In this class you will learn how to instigate this conversationally as well as from inside formal hypnotic techniques. It is at the heart of a revolution in mental health that is already changing mainstream stream therapeutic interventions.
Hypnotic psycho-educational frames- You will learn how to use bullet metaphors of neuroscience as vehicles for embedded suggestions, building expectation, changing beliefs as well getting conscious buy in. You will learn how to make every moment with a client an opportunity to hone your conversational hypnotic skills.
This is a class that will give you a system of change work for almost every client issue as well as a framework for workshops that’s completely adaptable.
“My whole outlook on hypnosis and change work has been reinvigorated.”
-FIONA LUKE
“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.”
-TAMARA STUPALOVA
INTEGRATIVE HYPNOSIS: FOUNDATIONAL FRAMEWORK
October 10/11
This workshop focuses on the key elements of integrative hypnosis from multi-level pre-talk to rapid inductions and trance work. You’ll learn creative ways to access unconscious patterns, beliefs, biases and motivations and how to change them.
This class will have you practicing deep trance techniques for insight, meaning making and creating new narratives as well as conditioning in the change work on an unconscious level.
Understanding the brain in trance allows you to strategically utilize the increased activity in the mind/body connection as well as the decrease in self consciousness and overly critical thinking. This is why hypnosis is the best modality for sweeping changes that defy old patterned thinking.
What you’ll learn:
Multi-level pre framing- A way to use hypnosis to set expectation, belief and a foundation to speak to the unconscious mind while explaining the hypnotic work.
Hypnotic inductions- you will practice using a variety of inductions so you can adapt to different styles of processing. Almost all can be done in under two minutes so you have more time for the actual trance work (no boring 45 minute progressive relaxation inductions here!)
Hypnotic phenomena-you’ll practice different ways to deepen the hypnotic state and create some hypnotic phenomena so your clients understand the power they have in this state. There is nothing as convincing to people as first hand experience.
Trance work protocols- you’ll learn the different approaches to gaining unconscious insight, motivations and beliefs and how to organically address them. From mental rehearsal, embodied change and priming to accessing inner wisdom and guidance, this class builds a bridge between conscious and unconscious processing.
“This program has been such a gift, and I'm already changing lives with what I've learned.
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
ADVANCED CONVERSATIONAL CHANGE
October 24/25
In this two day workshop, you will learn an adaptable system of conversational change work that you can integrate into every aspect of your practice. From multi-level communication to directionalized brain change, your conversations with clients will never be the same.
This is not the typical hypnotic patterns that have been taught (and typically forgotten) for decades. This is utilizing how the brain naturally processes language and working within your client’s models for a more organic change.
You will learn how to modify your own internal states to shift your cognitive filters so the unconscious processing becomes easily accessible.
There is an art to moving minds through space and time with language. You’ll learn how to use nonlinear patterns to interrupt the dominant hemisphere and advanced spatial and temporal shifts to directionalize the mind consciously and unconsciously. With the focus on building neural flexibility, you’ll be able to access and shift entire “problem” patterns from inception to present day symptoms.
This class will bring your work up to date with the latest research, simplify key elements of reconsolidation and change the way you speak (and listen) to your clients. Whether you are new to the field or decades in, this workshop will give you a comprehensive system of change and some fresh ideas and insight into your own practice.
What you will learn:
Conversational hypnosis makes every conversation with a client operational on both the conscious and unconscious level. The principles at play will make you a better and more effective speaker in general.
Non linear language patterns
Being able to use language to shake up stuck habituated thinking allows you to bypass the typical beliefs and self sabotaging patterns to create something new.
Spatial and temporal prepositions
Moving the mind in space and time allows strategic placing of problems and solutions. Being able to use language to shift perceptual positions allows for more flexibility and insight. Once you can begin to access how your clients have coded their problems you can more easily encode solutions.
The art of hypnotic reframing
Understanding how most problems are about the meaning we make or the conclusions we draw from the experience allows us to explore the narrative and the unconscious neuro associations involved. Reframing, when done hypnotically, has the potential to change everything.
Non verbal anchoring and elicitation
Understanding the non verbal aspects of communication and how to use it is an art form in and of itself. We will cover some ways of using the clients non verbal markers in change work as well as aligning our own inner states for congruency and guidance.
“Having the opportunity to learn from Melissa was the best investment I could have made - professionally and personally.
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.”
-AMELIA PINKSTON
DEEP TRANCE TIMELINE
November 7/8
This workshop will turn you and your clients into time travelers! We will take the construct of time and use it to change aspects of the past, shore up the present and create the future our clients dream of.
We will explore the different orientations of time and how to best work within them. Traveling into the past to deal with old patterns, guilt, regret and remorse and to arm our younger selves with emotional resources and insights for changing unconscious priming.
We will move into the future for goal setting and mitigating fears and worries that go with a future orientation of time. We can also learn a lot from our future selves and bring that back to the present.
We will practice a technique for befriending our younger selves and helping to become the person we can trust. It’s a powerful hypnotic journey that builds resilience and connection to promote self confidence and self regard.
No comprehensive hypnosis training would be complete without exploring past life regression. Talk about extended timelines! Sometimes parallel, sometimes circular, this idea is rich with possibilities.
We will also learn a way of taking uncomfortable moments in time and weaving them back into the tapestry that is the entire movie of our lives. They say time heals but I say, why wait?
You will learn:
Pseudo-orientation in time- this allows for changing the past, present and future.
Targeted goal setting- hypnotically implanting future moments and learning what steps need to taken to get there. Checking for congruency and alignment.
Changing past patterns- not just changing our emotional states but creating alternatives that will play into the brain’s predictive pool.
Time Heals Pattern- using the timeline for healing health conditions as well as emotional pain
Befriending your self through time- this builds self confidence and self esteem by developing a trusting and resourceful relationship with yourself through time.
Time based trauma technique- This pattern helps to neutralize traumatic moments.
Parallel timeline- this an interesting way to explore roads not taken and past decisions made.
Past life Regression- a few techniques from my “atheists guide to past life regression” which offers different ways to explore without the need for belief.

INTEGRATIVE MEDICAL HYPNOSIS
November 21/22
This weekend we dive deep into pain relief, chronic health conditions, pre and post op trances and hypnosis for childbirth.
Many research studies have proven the efficacy of hypnosis for pain management. You will learn deep trance comfort where clients can keep their body in trance while emerging from the head up. You will also learn conversational pain management which is an easy way to help people in the moment.
You will learn how some unexpressed emotions can play a big role in chronic pain syndromes and psychobiology involved. You’ll learn how to use trance to get the client’s own personal healing visualization and learn to incorporate it seamlessly into their day.
Understanding the brain on pain will help develop self hypnotic techniques designed to change the way the brain is firing.
There was a study that said that just one hypnosis session prior to surgery allowed people to heal bone fractures almost two weeks sooner with much less pain meds needed. We will cover pre and post op trances to speed up the process
Hypnosis for childbirth is a well established form of easing natural delivery for decades. You will learn how to help women on every level, from the fear to hypnotic epidurals.
What you will learn:
Hypnotic techniques for pain relief
Healing protocols for chronic health conditions
The psychobiology of chronic pain
Pre and post operative strategies
Hypnosis for childbirth
“I have taken a lot of hypnosis trainings and nothing comes close to what I learned in training with Melissa. The course was full of play, laughter and fun. Highly recommend!
And oh yeah, my own business has taken off like never before.”

HYPNO-PSYCHEDELICS
December 5/6
There’s a psychedelic renaissance happening and you can be a part of it. This class will teach you how to use hypnosis to create the extraordinary states of consciousness associated with the psychedelic experience.
The resurgence of research on the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics has brought a whole new generation into the field. The effects on mental, emotional and even physical health are being studied and the results are changing minds even in the most conservative of circles.
You can join the movement without the drugs! This allows you to ride the wave and to bring your skills immediately to people searching for the transformation that have reservations about psychedelics and the legalities involved.
If you are a practitioner who works with actual psychedelics you will learn skills to integrate and enhance your work. This will give you the ability to quickly recreate the psychedelic state to draw meaning and create cohesive narratives out of the experience. Imagine being able to slow down, rewind, pause and explore the deeper messages from a psychedelic experience.
This workshop will show you how to use hypnosis to explore the extraordinary undifferentiated mental states typically reserved for psychedelics. You will practice techniques designed to instigate endogenous psycho active compounds in the brain.
Using a combination of trance, breath work and cellular memory you can revisit or create states of consciousness that mimic the mystical and interconnectedness common in the transformative aspects of the psychedelic experience.
You will learn how to use non linear language to shake up habituated neural networks and stuck perceptual patterns to create generative change. You will play with different ways of quieting the default mode network in the brain to give clients opportunities to overhaul their existing beliefs and limitations.
Integration of these states into the areas of life where people need it the most has been the biggest challenge in the field so a focus on how hypnosis can foster this will allow you to market your skill set to practitioners in this new emerging therapy.
“She is a remarkable teacher, practitioner, and scholar.”
- CELINE KRAUS, PhD
