Hello, my name is Karen Peterson, and I absolutely love helping people change their lives through hypnosis!  Most of our behavior and beliefs are longstanding, and are stored in the subconscious mind, so it can be difficult to make changes just by thinking about it or using willpower. Instead, using hypnosis, we access the subconscious mind to help make desired changes in our thoughts, feelings and actions, to improve our lives.
Assisting my clients in this way gives me great pleasure and satisfaction.

Think of me as your Hypnotic Coach, helping you to achieve your goals so much more easily, by Re-Training your Brain for Success!

I am certified by the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association (I.M.D.H.A.), and I have more than 650 hours of continuing education in addition to the 120 hour certification course work that I completed in 2003.

I also have Specialty Certificates in the areas of Pain Management, Allergy Relief, Life Coaching, and Neuro-Subliminal Communication, and I am familiar with, and use, NLP. 
Currently, I am working on a Specialty Certificate in EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), and I recently completed the Silva Life System and Silva Intuitive Mind courses.

Since 2003, I have conducted numerous community education classes in three local school districts, as well as lectures and group sessions at SAC, OLLU and NW Vista, and was featured on KENS-TV in 2003-2004 (see the TV Report page) and in Scene in San Antonio Magazine in 2006.

In 2004, I co-founded the Medical Center Hypnosis Clinic, and have conducted over a thousand hypnosis sessions on a wide variety of issues. I can help you
Re-Train Your Brain to make positive changes in your life.

 In my private life, I am the mother of two fine sons and proud grandmother of two wonderful grandsons.  I consider myself a lifelong learner, and my interests include but are not limited to: people, dogs and all animals, the brain, the mind, nature, natural medicine, religion, spirituality, gardening,  and ecology.

You will find more information about hypnosis and how it can help you elsewhere in this website, and I do thank you for visiting.

I can however, work with you on certain medical or emotional issues with the written permission of your licensed health provider, and I am glad to work in conjunction with them to further your health and well being.
