THI is a recognized leader in hypnotherapy education. On campus trainings became home study classes to meet the needs of busy life styles today.

The Transpersonal Hypnotherapy Institute ® was founded in 1990 by Anne Salisbury, PhD, MA, MBA, NLP, CCHt after completing her MA in Transpersonal Psychology and making an extensive study of hypnotherapy. Over the next few years she and Yukio Hasegawa, MA, NLP, CCHt co-developed the system which is known today as Transpersonal Hypnotherapy. Trainings were offered on-campus in Arizona, Colorado and Hawaii throughout the '90s. Thousands of certifications were awarded to individuals who came to study from around the globe. Then in 1996 home study programs were introduced, utilizing the professional video recording of live classes. Because of its effectiveness, all programs are home study today.

Transpersonal Hypnotherapy is holistic, synthesizing Transpersonal Psychology with Ericksonian Hypnosis, Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), Alchemical Hypnotherapy and other proven schools of thought. As with Transpersonal Psychology, Transpersonal Hypnotherapy recognizes our drive toward wholeness, toward a fuller intuitive experience of spirit.

THI is a recognized leader in the field of hypnotherapy education, and its curriculum is approved and regulated by the Colorado Department of Higher Education, Division of Private Occupational Schools. THI holds the trademark for the name, the Transpersonal Hypnotherapy Institute ® and copyrights for the many written and recorded materials.

"As a University teacher of Transpersonal Psychology, I was concerned that students were not getting direct experience of conceptual materials. So, in THI trainings, I am excited to see students utilize Transpersonal material in hands-on processes without years and years of study. These are tools for mastery. They can be practiced easily and widely."
