“I teach hypnosis as the ‘medicine of the imagination’: an inherently non-linear way of using your own imagination to facilitate healing on an unconscious level, working in a collaborative and empathic manner.”
Uniting the earliest representation of the healing art of hypnosis in the sleeping temples of ancient Egypt with practical, proven studies and techniques from modern neuroscience.
Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state that we access multiple times a day by our intake of social media, music, advertising, and films. The Divine Feminine School of Hypnosis suggests that we can use the very tool that can work against us to work for us, utilizing hypnosis as the “medicine of the imagination”. It’s a tool to de-condition the effects that media and technology have on our psyche by reclaiming our subconscious as a sovereign territory.
A comprehensive Hypnosis Certification Program informed by the medicine of imagination, intuition, creativity, and neuroplasticity.
The Divine Feminine School of Hypnosis Certification Program is an introduction to the history, myths, science, and ethical issues related to the practice of hypnosis. It offers a unique perspective of Hypnosis as both an ancient healing modality and a progressive practical tool for personal development and change.

Testimonials
“My studies through Divine Feminine School of Hypnosis were extraordinary. I learned more than I could have ever hoped to learn about the human consciousness and our brain's capacity for positive change. Shauna was an extremely clear and practical teacher. She led us through many exercises and provided hands-on experience. She is empathetic, encouraging, and endlessly generous with her time and energy. I respect Shauna not only as a teacher, but as an incredible human being and a beautiful soul. I couldn't recommend her classes or sessions enough.”

“Participating in the DFSOH was transformative. Shauna is a gifted instructor and does an excellent job at creating community, fostering confidence, and teaching you the skills needed to practice hypnosis. I particularly liked Shauna's approach to hypnosis, as it combined the science of the mind and the mystic roots of the hypnosis practice. Everytime I practice hypnosis I feel like I am doing both science and magic. Shauna is also trauma-informed, sensitive, and welcoming to all participants. What stood out was how involved she was with our learning process. Shauna was ALWAYS available for guidance and to answer questions. I never felt that I was on my own, I always had access to her knowledge and expertise.
The course was extremely well organized, and I found every session valuable, I feel like each session added to my skill set as a hypnosis practitioner. I really appreciated how encouraging and supportive Shauna is as an instructor. I feel like I got both helpful feedback to help me grow and support for my learning process. Although the training was on zoom, Shauna did a great job at building community and I feel like I made great friends and connections. I left the training feeling confident and ready to begin my journey and practice as a hypnosis practitioner. I am proud my lineage of hypnosis includes the DFSOH and Shauna.”

“The idea of pursuing the field of hypnosis came about for me through my studies and practices in sound healing, with the curiosity of understanding more about trance states and the space they provide to shift perspectives and perceptual states. Once I came across Shauna I knew that I would want to train with her. I was not interested in hypnosis focusing on mind and words and techniques. What compelled me to enroll in this specific training was the felt-sense and artistic values around which Shauna seemed to center her program. It was all of this and more. I got to grasp both the clinical language and the ability to repattern the subconscious to tap in the well of infinite possibilities. Besides my own growth and shifts, taking this training with Shauna expanded my views, energized my relationship to poetry, to the healing power of words and vibration qualities of the voice, the exploration of how stories can be retold with more beauty and more grace, deepen my understanding of presencing and open myself wider to my own imagination and creativity. I am so grateful! Shauna has created a rich and deeply unique space in the field of hypnosis.”

“Shauna’s course in Hypnotherapy far exceeded my expectations, in every way. Hypnosis is widely misunderstood in our modern, fear-driven, pharmaceutical-dependent culture, yet it’s power and presence in our daily lives is inescapable. Shauna is on the front line of a radical shift in our understanding of the function and use of these powerful, hypnotic states of consciousness that pervade our existence yet frequently go unarticulated and underutilized in our culture. Hypnotherapy is concerned, fundamentally, with building confidence and agency through increased awareness of one’s habits of perception, and one’s natural ability to create perceptual and behavioral changes conducive to leading a more fulfilling life. As a research psychologist immersed in the pursuit of a doctoral degree, when I started Shauna’s hypnotherapy certification course I had been firmly entrenched in a skeptical, materialistic perspective that sought-out theoretical weakness, yet I found no weakness in the course or the content. Instead, I found Hypnosis to be at the cross-cultural core of how we understand and utilize the mind. Through the completion of Shauna’s course, I found a new sense of coherence in my understanding of Psychology, and a greater sense of confidence in the face of any challenge I meet. If you’re interested in improving your healing practice or cultivating a deeper sense of how to function as a positive, productive and engaged citizen —without hesitation— I recommend taking Shauna’s course in Hypnosis.”
