  • Michael Longshore is an ICBCH Certified Professional Hypnotist. With over 30 years of experience in hypnosis-related work, Michael’s extensive knowledge and passion for hypnotherapy has allowed him to assist hundreds of clients in transforming their lives, thus creating positive changes in their physical, emotional, and mental state. This includes teaching self-hypnosis, which gives clients the tools for reaching their personal goals. He is a firm believer that the power of your imagination is capable of achieving your most sincere intentions.

    Michael bases his hypnosis practice on a solid foundation of Integrative Medical Hypnosis, Alchemical Hypnotherapy as well as numerous other modalities such as Energetic Life Balancing, EFT, NLP and the practice of ancient Polynesian parts therapy. He has accumulated thousands of hours in the study and practice of clinical hypnosis as well as Integrative Medical Hypnosis.

    Personally, Michael has used self-hypnosis to quit smoking, drinking alcohol and eliminate his past fears of heights, flying and close spaces. He enjoys the blessings of a long term marriage that includes children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

    Michael invites you to “Learn how live a mindful life being totally grounded in the present moment.”

  • At an early age, Lou knew she had a unique ability to tune into people’s energy field in an empathetic manner. Her curiosity led her on a path of discovery in understanding how this gift could help herself as well as others learn to overcome life obstacles.

    As a young adult, she began to read books and learn as much as she could about psychology and how the mind works. She sought teachers who were experts in the field. The academics and science of the study of the mind were beneficial, but something was missing. When she combined all of her studies with her innate gift, which she calls being “naturally therapeutic”, she realized how understanding the tri-part being, Body-Mind-Spirit, plays a major part in helping people tap into their inner wisdom, which can catapult us into life transformations that lead to new beginnings.

    Lou spent many years in Corporate America, and although successful, she did not find much JOY, FUN or FREEDOM in her work. She discovered that helping others tap into their body’s wisdom and unique desires brought her the joy, fun and freedom she wanted in her work environment.

    Lou is an accomplished Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist with over 400 hours of training. She is also a Certified Health and Life Coach. She has trained and worked as a Nurse Technician, a Hospice and Grief Therapy Facilitator and an Equine Assisted Psychotherapy Facilitator. She has studied many belief systems from around the world to better understand the diversity of her client’s beliefs. This offers her clients a safe, comfortable, compassionate, judgement-free environment.
