HMI - Hypnosis Motivation Institute
The Hypnosis Motivation Institute, HMI, is a non-profit nationally accredited hypnosis training college and clinic of hypnotherapy that has been serving Southern California for more than 50 years.
HMI was founded in 1968 by Dr. John Kappas. Dr. Kappas literally defined the profession of hypnotherapy in 1973, when he wrote and defined the profession of a “Hypnotherapist” in the Federal Dictionary of Occupational Titles. That definition remains in force and unchanged today.
HMI has earned the distinction of being America’s first hypnotherapy training school to become nationally accredited, by an accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, in Washington, D.C.
HMI’s Hypnotherapy Clinic is home to over 50 Certified Hypnotherapists. HMI estimates that it has provided more than 250,000 hours of private hypnotherapy services in its 54 year history. It is this clinical experience that provides the foundation for HMI’s Hypnotherapy Certification Training and Internship program.
