What students are saying:
Amazing course! Very well explained. I truly enjoyed all the explanations and meditations. I could feel my heart open and expand with more compassion and forgiveness. Including those, I thought I'd never forgive or get over. I'll continue to meditate and be mindful. Looking forward to your other classes. Carrie Renzulli
This is one of the best Hypnotherapy Courses I have ever undertaken. I felt as if I were sitting in a personal classroom session with Joseph and greatly appreciate the personal guidance I have received from him for all my assignments. Thank you so much. Anand Nagaraj Rangaraj
I'd give it 50 stars if I could. This is absolutely the best hypnosis training ever. Down to earth, very clear, very precise, easy to follow, easy to retain... Joseph Drumheller, you rock! Carmen Sauciuc
I literally cried when I got to part 2 of your hypnotherapy courses because it covered everything I had been so desperate to learn in such a concise way. I’m dumbfounded by the amount of powerful content you were able to squeeze in courses that only took a couple of hours to complete. Before finding your courses I thought hypnotherapy would take 4+ months for me to grasp, but because of your courses, I was able to understand how to practice hypnotherapy in about 48 hours. Lauren Carter
Your process takes me into such a deep peace that it's both restorative and cathartic. You are extremely talented, thank you. I'll definitely be writing a full-length review with a glowing 5 stars :-) Sonia Acheson
Excellent clarification and just amazing. Wow!! Mollie Shannon Rama
I am pleased with the straightforward, relaxed approach Drumheller has. He is calm, informed, and reassured that anyone can learn hypnotherapy. Susy Goins
… the meditations are next-level awesome. Courtney Seard

Such a fantastic beginning to this journey. The course was much more comprehensive then I thought, every lecture was of value. All the information was clear and easy to follow. It gave me the tools and confidence to try my very first hypnosis session! I'm really looking forward to the next course

I am now on part 6, I can say that Joseph does a great job of organizing information in a practical & digestible way. In part 1 we are introduced to the world of hypnotherapy, and I believe Joseph's experience in the profession and his experiences with energy work make for a holistic hypnotherapy course.
By Dr. Pieter Berends on 9/11/2022
The course served as a good introduction to conducting hypnosis. Especially the three Rs, using the word ´meditative state´ instead of ´deep hypnosis´ plus the stages of a hypnosis were very helpful to me. Thank you!
By Emma Liston on 6/18/2022
I am new to this, and found the course very good in that it was all the basics, was easy to understand and well-presented. The scripts to practise were good, and I found the pace and length of each module just right. Great course - highly recommend this if you know nothing like me!! :o)
By Tharangini B on 6/12/2021
I've just finished part 1 and have signed up for the 2nd part. The course was very systematic, well paced and very clear. I liked the fact that it was not hurried with an effort to cram everything in 1 part. This helped to get a proper understanding of this level with confidence to move ahead.

I enjoyed the three parts of this course which is a six part course which i am looking forward to completing on monday, truly enjoyed the meditation and wasn't expecting that, in terms of archangel michael it's widely accepted as being violet being the associated colour as opposed to blue which is a colour associated with calmness i am apprehensive about trying to get clients on zoom/skype etc it would be one thing to have a paper record or signed consent to permit recording here in eu governed ireland g.d.p.r will be an issue without express written consent to record/film an individual without their express consent as is also the case in u.k
By Irina Filatova on 7/10/2020
It is a lovely class, but it is on guided meditation and not clinical hypnotherapy. Maybe the author gets into specific techniques for pain control or working with different organs in future classes, but this was my expectation. But I enjoyed the basic meditation and he has a pleasant voice, this could be useful for personal experience more for people who have truble relaxing.

Excellent teaching. Kinesthetic learning gets recorded in the "muscle memory" for long-term recall and Joseph Drumheller is excellent in teaching kinesthetically. Joseph is very down to earth which makes his teachings easier to assimilate. Highly recommended. I would give 20+ stars if I could...
By Kari on 5/24/2019
I am enjoying the course. Much of this is common sense in my world, with the training I already have, but definitely not in the world of people I work with. I am getting exactly the structure needed for the next steps in my work and for creating my own meditations. I hadn’t previously correlated the meditations I already lead with hypnotherapy. This is incredibly integrating for me.
By Catherine Wagner on 2/7/2019
Very easy to follow and learn this course. Will definitely serve as an aid or addition to other courses taken on Udemy. Every instructor adds their own knowledge and understanding and experience on the topic of Hypnosis. For me this course will help to tie it all together. I enjoyed it very much.
