Professional Consultation & Training
For therapists, doctors, teachers, healers and other caring professionals ready to integrate clinical hypnosis into their work.
I’m Jessie Santiago, CCHt, and I’m drawn to working with people who spend their lives caring for others. As therapists, physicians, educators and healers, you carry a double weight: you grow yourself while holding space for everyone else. That often leads to overthinking and intellectualising your own feelings; knowing why a pattern exists doesn’t always change it. I learned that first‑hand. Years of trauma therapy gave me insight into my history, but I still found myself repeating behaviours I thought I’d healed. Hypnosis helped me access the subconscious patterns that talk therapy hadn’t touched. It engages mind and body together, and that’s what makes change both possible and lasting. For professionals who feel stuck between understanding and action, hypnosis is a bridge. It turns knowledge into choice and choice into new behavior.
Why Work With Me
Evidence‑based. I teach clinical hypnotherapy grounded in research and formal training. Studies show hypnosis is effective for stress, anxiety, sleep issues, phobias and habit change. When you learn hypnosis with me, you’re adding a proven, evidence‑based tool to your practice.
Inclusive and culturally aware. My approach acknowledges the impact of race, gender, sexuality and lived experience. I create space that respects the complexity of identity while supporting change. In training, you’ll learn to hold inclusive, culturally responsive hypnosis sessions.
Trauma‑informed. Safety, choice and collaboration are at the core of my work. I understand how trauma shapes the nervous system and adapt hypnosis to meet each person where they are. You’ll learn techniques that honor clients’ boundaries and help them regulate effectively.
Experienced. I bring more than twenty years in healing, education and client care. My background as a stylist, educator and hypnotherapist gives me a rare mix of technical skill and relational insight. I also maintain certification and pursue advanced hypnotherapy training—continuing education keeps me current and shows my commitment to offering the best services. When you train with me, you benefit from my experience and my dedication to lifelong learning.
A complement to therapy and healthcare. Hypnosis doesn’t replace your existing therapeutic approach; it enhances it. Many therapists and healthcare providers refer clients to me when insight has plateaued or when a body‑based approach is needed. Adding hypnotherapy to your toolkit allows you to help clients regulate more effectively and accelerate the progress they’re already making.
How I Work With Professionals
Consultation and goals. We start with a conversation to understand your objectives, your experience level and the client issues you want to address. That helps us set a clear focus for our work together.
Education and orientation. I explain the principles behind clinical hypnosis, answer your questions and model how to create a safe, collaborative environment. If you’re used to other therapeutic models, this step shows you how hypnosis fits in.
Assessment. We look at your learning style and how you currently work with clients. That way I can tailor the training to your practice.
Practice and application. You’ll work through scripts, guided exercises and live demonstrations. I’ll show you how to reframe limiting beliefs, strengthen positive patterns, work with somatic cues and address specific behaviors like stress responses, sleep and attachment patterns.
Integration. After each exercise we debrief and discuss how to apply the techniques with your clients. I’ll give you tools, resources and anchoring practices you can start using right away.
Follow‑up. To keep you moving forward, we schedule check‑ins to review your progress, answer questions and fine‑tune your approach. If you’re collaborating with other providers, we can coordinate updates with client consent.
Training and Consultation Services
One‑on‑one consultation. Private sessions in Long Beach or online where we review your client cases, refine your hypnosis technique and build confidence.
Custom programs. Multi‑session training packages for clinics, wellness centers or teams who want deeper learning and ongoing support. We tailor each program to your practice so you can work through layered patterns and reinforce lasting results.
Workshops and masterclasses. Live training for communities, organizations and professional teams. Topics include stress relief, resilience, communication and integrating hypnosis into existing therapies.
Group training. Small group sessions that combine education, guided hypnosis and discussion. These gatherings offer shared support, practice and accountability in a safe, collaborative space.
Specialized consultation. Targeted support for professionals navigating transitions in age, gender, ability or career identity. These sessions may include image consulting and hypnosis where appropriate, and are especially helpful when you need perspective from someone outside your immediate circle.
Referral & Collaborations
I welcome referrals from therapists, physicians and wellness practitioners. Hypnosis complements your work — it doesn’t replace medical or psychological care. With your client’s consent, I’ll stay in touch to support continuity and help them integrate the progress they’re making in therapy or treatment.
