About Coastal Academy - School of Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis Training
A Vision for Wellness
At Coastal Academy of Hypnotherapy, we hold a vision that we could all live on this earth in balance, free of fear, pain and with the highest regard for humanity, allowing us to serve others and ourselves for our highest good and best interest. On our way to this loving vision of total wellness, there is often work to be done. We discover that our beliefs or behaviors are holding us back from achieving what we want. We are all seeking balance in some form. Sometimes healing occurs from a simple shift in perception, by altering a habit, discovering a remedy or through self-help. Other times, we need more assistance to make a lasting change, sometimes in the form of a wellness practitioner.
Coastal Academy of Hypnotherapy has trained hundreds of Clinical Hypnotherapists who have gone out into the mainstream and added a new dimension to healing for many people. Coastal Academy's mission is to "Help Others Heal" and our professional standards are very high.
Our journey has put us in touch with the medical community as well as many alternative therapists, practitioners and healers; some of their names are shared here on this site.

She successfully built all aspects of the business including: training, operations, development strategies and marketing that eventually lead to the nominations for Excellence in Customer Service (2008) followed by Business Person of the Year (2009). Susan’s passion for health through stress relief led her to hypnotherapy in 2006 after seeing her daughter’s long standing 4 year barrier to writing math exams dissolve in 1 session. A new passion emerged as Susan realized she had found a therapeutic solution that offered permanent healing. Susan chose Coastal Academy’s training programs because she recognized the same key ingredients present under Leslie’s leadership: commitment to quality, excellence, respect and caring for the development and success of Coastal students and graduates.
