FREE Monthly Hypnotherapy Session for Veterans: Self-Love 2/13/2021 11:30 AM - 2/13/2021 12:30 PM

Fri, 22 Jan 2021 19:12:32 GMT

As a Veteran I want to give back to my Brothers and Sisters in Arms, so I just started a new Facebook group to do a FREE Live monthly Hypnotherapy session for those who wish to participate.

The group is entitled "Giving Back: Hypnotherapy for Veterans." This is only for Veterans and I will ask that prospective members show some proof of service to join the group if I don't know you personally. That being said, because I wish to respect everyone's privacy, that can be as simple as sharing a picture of you in uniform, a picture of a promotion certificate or having someone in the group vouch for your service (specifying your branch).

Hypnotherapy sessions are typically $190 / hour but these monthly sessions will be FREE. For those who are interested please register for the upcoming session on my website and then join the Facebook group. Both links are below. Live sessions will be conducted via the Facebook group and will be hosted via Facebook Live, Zoom and / or StreamYard.
