"After over half a century of working in the field of personal growth, I'm totally convinced BELIEF is the stumbling block for the masses. This program will open a whole New World for you. This program can change your life forever. Tim Shurr is a friend of mine. He's about to be your best friend!"

The National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) is certainly very pleased. It has been a number of years since we have had this type of quality training available. Tim Shurr’s experience in the field and his ability to develop rapport will enable him to graduate knowledgeable and effective certified consulting hypnotists to better meet the needs of the public for quality hypnotism services."
"I had already accomplished 50 hours at a hypnosis school in Illinois, but it was almost all lecture and very little application. I never felt qualified to work with clients. After joining Tim's Hypnosis training, my confidence and abilities have gone through the ceiling! Tim Shurr’s innovative school is designed to help students literally be the best they can be. Watching Tim work with real clients enabled me to see how to handle hundreds of different clients with their issues, as well as their breakthroughs.I am constantly learning new strategies, tools, and techniques to help me be a great hypnotist-and help people achieve their goals. I have had many opportunities to practice everything I am learning, on real people. My comfort level, confidence, and quality of work are at levels beyond my personal expectations! HAI offers a great program for students. It really does provide exactly what is says it will as a school. And I had even more profound results in regards to my own personal development. I recommend this training to everyone!"
From quitting smoking and weight loss to sports enhancement, overcoming fears, and gently releasing past traumatic events, everyone can benefit from having YOU as their personal OBA Hypnotist.
"What others call impossible and a miracle is just another day at the office for Tim Shurr."Roger Harris, Career Firefighter, Certified OBA Hypnotist
You will graduate feeling confident and secure in your abilities to help even the most resistant clients experience a breakthrough. Many low-budget Hypnosis Certification programs provide outdated manuals, scripts, and guidance, so you feel left to figure everything out on your own after the training. We will be there for you before, during, and after your OBA Certification providing guidance, direction, and support.
Each student and client has individual needs and a one-size-fits-all approach does not produce optimal results. Thus, instead of memorizing and becoming dependent on a dozen hypnosis scripts, you will learn how to customize your approach based upon the needs of the person in front of you. That is also how we train our OBA Hypnotists.
Receiving personal feedback as you develop various skillsets is essential for becoming proficient and effective. Many hypnotherapists get certified and then never receive supervised feedback for the rest of their career. Because OBA Professionals are a growth-mindset community, we believe in helping you become a world-class OBA Hypnosis Coach via ongoing personalized feedback, guidance, and reinforcement.
You can't help anyone if you don't have clients. We will provide you with all the business essentials and help you cultivate a marketing mindset that even shy introverts can use to attract paying customers. Developing the business skills necessary for maintaining a career as an OBA Hypnotist is a must, and we will help you thrive in this area as well!
How much would you invest to be your own boss, have a profitable, low-overhead business, and work in a field where you make a difference every day?
The typical cost of a 4-year college degree, depending on where you attend? $30k - $240k. Starting wages for average college grads can be anywhere from $15 to $30 an hour.
According to BestColleges.com, a trade school education can cost an average of $33,000.
Barber, Cosmetology, and Massage Schools can cost up to $15,000. The average wages are around $21 per hour and you’re on your feet all day long.
You can become a Certified OBA Hypnotist within 3 months. On average, starting wages are $150 per hour. If you offer packages, products, and workshops, the money you earn…well, it’s a lot!
Online OBA Hypnotist Certification is ongoing and new classes begin each month.
Traditional Hypnotism training provides a large variety of hypnosis theory and approaches, most of which are out-of-date or not practical in modern times. Depending on the school, additional training will be added or provided as an upsell like NLP (basic, master, train-the-trainer), Board Certification (which means nothing to the general public), and sometimes marketing (although what's offered is basic and often ineffective.)
The OBA Hypnotist program focuses on equipping you with a deep understanding of human behavior and provides a set of tools and strategies that produce exceptional results, often within the first session. After providing over 16,000 individual sessions and hundreds of group experiences, the precise "success formulas" for getting clients amazing results were uncovered. That's what you will learn! We've removed the "fluff" and techniques that other training programs spend hundreds of hours teaching that you'll never even use in the real world.
Rather than continually upselling you classes, we give you the BEST tools right away in one training. In addition, we will ensure YOU have an impactful experience that provides a "true-believer" story you can share with others.
Also, we include the best Business Growth and Marketing practices in the industry. Tim Shurr has sold millions of dollars of Hypnosis services and operated a six-figure coaching practice for 20 years straight. He will personally mentor you, so you can enjoy all the benefits of being an extraordinary personal transformation expert!
Finally, we do NOT offer a "Become A Hypnosis Trainer" program at the end of your training. It's unethical that other hypnosis schools upsell a cheap "Become A Hypnosis School Owner" training to people who've never run a practice or even worked with clients before. It lowers the quality of our profession and should not be promoted.
(*Tim Shurr shared his opinions on how cheap hypnotherapist certifications are lowering the quality and perceived value of our profession to the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapists Association and was later honored with the President's Award.)
You only need to be at least 21 years old, hold a high school diploma, have the desire to empower others, and are willing to commit yourself to satisfactorily satisfying the requirements of this certification. You must also commit to being trustworthy and ethical in this business.
Absolutely! What you'll learn is so effective, you may find that you're rarely utilizing your former approaches. If anything, you'll discover a new set of "power tools" that provide both you and your clients more satisfying outcomes. Plus, you'll receive what is often the missing ingredient to the question of, "How do I get more clients?"
There are three options available for payment that you'll find in our OBA Hypnotist Curriculum. Please scroll down to the end of this section and fill out the form to gain immediate access to our curriculum. Also, yes, two options include a payment plan.
Yes, you will satisfy all requirements for being an Certified OBA Hypnotist, Certified Hypnotist, Certified Hypnotherapist, or OBA Coach (although we recommend not using the word "therapist" in your title.
You will be certified through the Hypnotism Academy of Indiana.
You'll continue to be a part of our community of OBA Hypnotists who will support, encourage, and empower you! There will also be opportunities for continued learning, mentoring, and continuing education credits.
You will also continue to have full access to the OBA Certification Membership Site to continue learning and reinforcing your skills!
One of the core elements of OBA Hypnotist Certification is that we include a Business Growth & Marketing System education in your program. By the end of your OBA Certification, you'll know exactly how to answer that question.
The 100-hour program includes 70-hours of online classroom training and 30-hours of self-study. You get the empowering experience of a live training, while keeping your travel costs to zero utilizing zoom virtual environments. Because Covid-19 changed the world, many Hypnotists are now providing telephone and zoom hypnosis sessions, which eliminates the need for expensive offices, additional overhead, and numerous safety protocols. Plus, many of our students live in other countries and would not have access to this training unless it was provided online. For those reasons, we have moved to the virtual classroom.
Yes, many Hypnotists enjoy going through the entire training again because it's easier to learn our approach from beginning to end, rather than filling in the pieces that other certifications may have left out.
Plus, after coaching hundreds of Hypnotists around the country, Tim found that many were missing the confidence, skill sets, and marketing systems necessary for running a successful practice. If you already have training, this will either take your skills to the next level or free you from bad training habits you don't even know you have (common coaching blind spots.)
All of your questions will be answered in the OBA Hypnotist Curriculum, which you can download at the top of the page. Once you've gone through the Curriculum, please schedule an Entrance Call. We will be happy to answer any further questions at that time. Thanks!

Tim Shurr has devoted his life to ending needless emotional suffering. In 1995, he opened his first Hypnosis practice in Merrillville, Indiana and spent the next nine years providing Hypnotherapy sessions, touring the country facilitating group Weight Loss & Stop Smoking seminars, and providing Hypnosis Stage Shows for fundraising events, High School Proms, and nightclubs.
In 2003, Tim's wife had their first son. So, he stopped traveling and focused on running one of the most successful Hypnotism coaching practices in the world.
In 2005, Tim began speaking at Hypnosis conferences around the United States and creating a reputation as the "future of Hypnosis." After winning several awards for his contribution to the field of Hypnosis, Tim moved his family to Indianapolis, Indiana and opened Indy Hypnosis Centers with three locations.
In 2012, when Indiana passed a law stating that only State Approved Hypnotists could practice, Tim opened the first State Approved Hypnosis School in Indiana history - The Hypnotism Academy of Indiana.
For the next few years, Tim taught basic and advanced courses in Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Stage Hypnosis, and Public Speaking.
In 2015, Tim began making television appearances and stunning media personalities with his ability to produce rapid transformations in people live on air. For example, a weatherman with a terrible spider phobia had a tarantula sitting on his arm after only ten minutes of working with Tim! (Believe it or not.)
Around the same time, Tim's reputation for producing quick and sustainable results got the attention of corporate America. He began providing Mesmerizing Leadership, Sales & Culture-Building programs that helped companies double employee satisfaction scores, earn millions in additional revenue, and make the Best Places To Work list.
In 2019, Covid-19 spread around the world, which brought the professional speaking industry to its knees. Then in 2020, Tim turned 50 years old and after decades of treating clients, speaking, and consulting, he realized there were too many people who desperately need help and most of the tools available weren't producing adequate results.
Thus, in 2022, Tim reopened his Hypnotism Academy with the intention of building an "Army of Healers" who are the best-trained Clinical Hypnotists in the world!
By 2023, the One Belief Away (OBA) Hypnosis Coaching Method will transform the lives of thousands of people for generations. When 2033 arrives, millions will have been empowered!
Our mission is to end needless emotional suffering and we help people accomplish this by taking them through our transformative "OBA Experiences."
Thousands of people who've experienced traumatic events have healed their past and become more confident, happy, and in control in the present after going through the OBA Hypnosis sessions.
Now we are focused on helping VETERANS who have been negatively impacted by active combat and PTSD. Most traditional approaches for helping them "deal with their internal demons" have failed to provide sustainably positive outcomes those brave men and women deserve.
So we are creating an ARMY OF HEALERS who will focus on helping veterans, and their families, end the cycle of needless emotional suffering.
