• Visit the website of the consulting hypnotist you are interested in learning about.

• Ask whether the hypnotist is a certified member in good standing of the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH), an organization committed to quality, ethical service and the advancement of the profession.
• Find out about training, educational background, and experience.
• Ask about what to expect at your visits—and ask about fees.
• Pay attention to the level of interest and professionalism exhibited by the hypnosis professional.

Going through this process will help to ensure that you find a certified hypnotist who is a caring, ethical, and well-qualified professional and is someone with whom you can easily relate. Rapport and trust should be important factors in making your selection.
