IIH Mentoring Program
Hypno-Buddy
All students at the IIH are assigned a hypno-buddy. This partnership helps both students learn and grow. Each person practices hypnosis on the other. These are powerful bonds that can last a lifetime and help fulfill our goals of training healed healers.
- Gain practice in your hypnotherapy studies.
- Create a life-long connection.
- Discuss theory and get questions answered.
- Share insights and study together.
- Support each other every step of the way.
Mentorship
As a student at the IIH, you are assigned a dedicated mentor who walks alongside you throughout your training. Having a trusted guide by your side brings clarity, confidence, and reassurance as you integrate new skills and deepen your practice. Your mentor serves as both a sounding board and a steady source of encouragement, helping you navigate challenges while honoring your own growth as a student. This supportive relationship ensures you never have to learn alone. When the healer is supported, true transformation becomes possible.
- Regular 1:1 check-ins to provide support.
- Personalized guidance tailored to your growth, goals, and unique learning style.
- Emotional and professional encouragement.
