More about your teacher:
           Elaine Kissel was born in London England and received the major portion of her
formal education there. She studied psychology, parapsychology, the mind brain sciences
and hypnosis for several years before establishing her hypnotherapy practice, which by
the early 80’s was a successful and nationally renowned service. The powerful impact of
her pioneering and innovative approach exceeded conventional methodology and was
soon recognized and held in high esteem. Elaine endeavored to enhance the reputation
and application of hypnosis within and outside of the profession, developing her Whole
Mind Hypnotherapy© processes to broaden the scope of how hypnosis could be used to
achieve remarkable and unparalleled results.
           In 1978 her peers presented her with the coveted hypnologist of the year  award  
from  the  American  Association  of  Professional  Hypnologists for  her  innovations  and  
contributions to   the  art  and  science  of  hypnosis.  Her study showing how blood sugar
levels could be controlled with hypnosis contributed significantly to the emerging body of
knowledge about its potential to treat mainstream health problems.
           Elaine has contributed to various publications and her dynamic presentations and
workshops have inspired professional and lay participants alike. She has led seminars for
professional hypnosis organizations and the general public on a variety of issues, such as
hypnosis and healing, weight control, depression, addictions and anxiety in which she
explored the deeper reasons for persistent behavioral and health problems and how
hypnosis can address them.
       
    A wide range of organizations, radio and T.V programs continue to call upon
Elaine to share her knowledge and her deep insight to discussions focusing on how
people can use their minds to become healthier and more fulfilled. Elaine created Mind
Mastery, the now celebrated mind training course as a result of her own personal
experience rather than institutional or text book learning.
Her continuing search for more effective ways to facilitate people achieving their goals
was advanced by her extraordinary intuitive abilities and commitment to excellence.  Her
work has resulted in a library of resources, including self-development courses, distance
learning materials, over 50 recorded lectures and a variety of unique customized
seminars to help people discover and actualize their potential.
                    When the American Institute of Hypnotherapy (AIH) was authorized by the
State of California to offer the first ever post graduate award in hypnotherapy, they invited
Elaine to register as a PhD student to help them set the standard for this new
qualification, which she was duly awarded in 1986. Nine years later the AIH was taken
over when the eminent Dr. Krasner transferred ownership and subsequently the AIH was
closed without finding an appropriate qualified body to provide for the PhD students. As a
result of this, the award no longer appears on any national registers.
           Graduate and postgraduate degrees run by Universities do not offer
comprehensive teaching in the use of hypnosis as a specialist therapy.
For this reason it is particularly regrettable
that the AIH is no longer in business and that its founder Doctor Krasner and his
associates were no longer able to continue their work.
Elaine is currently investigating the feasibility of building on their achievements by finding
an alternative way to facilitate and accredit the studies
of hypnotherapists like herself, and would welcome contact with anyone who wishes to
support her in this enterprise.
     
               Still, after more than 39years of private practice Elaine continues to help
people make positive changes, develop control for themselves and overcome problems.
She also continues to create cutting edge programs for individuals and businesses who
wish to grow and excel in their personal and professional lives.
                     Her book, The Mind Is Willing,  (Phillips-Randall Books)
published  in 2005 is fast becoming a best seller as it’s
powerful messages and  mind training tools are being  
employed to every readers advantage.
Now she adds training for professionals to her vast repertoire
of people helping skills, and conducts workshops and
seminars for those interested in discovering
Professional training new dimensions of their human experience.
