Pain Management Course with Hypnosis

Hi Everyone,

As I am preparing my two Powerpoint presentations for various hospitals this month, I realized I better put out there about my two day pain management workshop coming up in November because so many people have emailed me to announce it sooner so they can plan better to take the course.

Because of the success of PainWeek in Las Vegas, with a presentation by hypnotists,( Michael Ellner and Dan Cleary who started this all and did such a GREAT job), you will be finding that you can reach out to the medical community with greater success.

Be prepared for this change that is happening!

Gain the confidence and knowledge that you need!

So here is the announcement.........
