Karen Hand joins me this week on the podcast; she’s a phenomenal hypnotist, author, speaker, and trainer and has won numerous awards throughout the hypnotic community including the 2010 Hypnotist of the Year Award from the Mid-America Hypnosis Conference. She is a former radio personality that initially became interested in hypnosis after interviewing several hypnotists on her radio show. Following her curiosity into the profession, she scheduled a session with a professional, successfully lost weight by following their system, and immediately found her lifelong passion as a hypnotist.

Karen explains what her first steps were to opening her hypnosis business, shares what current events are happening in the hypnotic community that has her excited and moving her business forward, and we talk about her upcoming workshop event at the Mid-Atlantic Hypnosis Convention on October 21, 22, and 23 in Chicago.

Please welcome Karen Hand to the show!
