5-PATH® International Association of Hypnosis Professionals vision and mission has at its core, the lifting of the profession. For too long the profession of hypnosis and hypnotherapy has been “fuzzy”, lacking structure in its techniques and lacking clear useful definitions of its terms.

We believe that through the use of the 5-PATH® System of hypnosis and hypnotherapy and the 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® system of self-hypnosis, the profession as a whole will be greatly improved.

It is therefore our goal to promote the use of these systems through training hypnosis professionals and training instructors to teach and certify new hypnosis professionals.

We believe that it is only through professional training and oversight of professional hypnosis and hypnotherapy instructors that our profession can reach its potential. With this in mind, in addition to certifying hypnosis instructors, we also provide them with the opportunity to demonstrate exemplary teaching skills and become professionally accredited instructors.

We also believe that when we use these two systems in addition to getting excellent results when we work with clients, the process also lifts the professional hypnotist by developing skills, confidence and even self-understanding, resulting in a very high level of professional development.
