PROFILE

About Harley

For over 27 years, I've been guiding people toward positive change—from my early work as a Mental Health Specialist at a psychiatric hospital to my current practice helping thousands of clients overcome personal challenges through hypnotherapy.

My education includes a Diploma in Hypnotherapy from HMI College of Hypnotherapy, a Certificate in Wellness Counseling from Cornell University, and a Specialization in Integrative Health and Medicine from the University of Minnesota.

I developed a program called Placebo-Enhanced Hypnotic Intervention™ that combines the power of your mind's natural ability to heal your body (the placebo effect) with the focused relaxation of hypnosis. This method is particularly effective for conditions where the mind-body connection plays a significant role—harnessing the body's "internal pharmacy" of natural chemicals to provide relief without pharmaceutical side effects.

My modern approach to hypnotherapy reimagines traditional hypnosis for today's digital world. Through secure video sessions, I work with clients nationwide—without losing the human connection that makes hypnosis so effective.

My book The Magic in Metaphor became an Amazon #1 New Release and Best Seller in multiple categories. It has earned numerous literary awards and was selected for the prestigious BookLife Elite collection by Publishers Weekly.
