Highly recommend IHI, Caroline and Daryl are a wealth of knowledge and present information in a way that's easy to understand and as a bonus they both have a great sense of humour 😊

This course is a life changer, not only for you but for the future of helping people be better and overcome life's obstacles.

Violaine Hemery

Amazing hypnotherapy course, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a thorough training, with a lot of practice as well as techniques and theory. The only hypnotherapy school I have found that teaches advanced techniques safely using distance learning, and I have looked everywhere! Caroline and Daryl are excellent teachers and mentors, very talented and successful in their own hypnotherapy career, they really help you succeed in your journey.

Rose Aitken

I can't say enough good things about IHI. Caroline and Daryl are both amazing as practitioners and teachers. I love the extensive knowledge and experience they both have and the space they hold for students and in Supervision. I was looking and looking for a distance hypnotherapy school and after much googling stumbled across them. After listening to some humorous interviews, I was hooked and then have been just wowed by the thoroughness and quality of the training. They are very patient and supportive of their students and manage to attract and foster an amazing group in which I've witnessed much growth and personal transformation. They also make training very fun which good healing should be in between the profound, practical and serious bits!

From in-person to online I am very grateful to have such knowledgeable, authentic, creative and energetic teachers in Caroline and Daryl guide me as I complete my Diploma of Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapy. I especially like their different methods and techniques for teaching, the wealth of comprehensive content provided and the real approach they have which I really vibe with. I have already shared with friends to complete this course for their own growth whether they use it to become Hypnotherapists or to enrich their own lives and I highly recommend both Caroline and Daryl in this field. This course allows you to work on aspects within your own life as you learn the valuable tools to help others in your own practice.

Having been fortunate enough to have a session with Caroline I cannot speak more highly of her. She has a very open, calming, genuine, caring energy which makes you feel right at ease like you’re catching up with an old old friend. As Alan Deutschman says in the book Change or Die, the first step in change is finding someone you can connect with on an emotional level that inspires change. Combine this with someone who is talented at their craft & passionate about what they do and you have Caroline. Again. Highly Recommended.

Steve G. Jones Ph.D

Caroline is the most inspiring and gifted hypnotherapist I’ve ever known – whose psychological insights, mind-body understanding, and wicked sense of humor have made a significant impact on my thinking, as well as everyone she meets. She has an advanced understanding of hypnotherapy, coaching, NLP and mind-body therapy techniques to empower her clients to heal their bodies and minds, find meaning and purpose in their challenges and feel enthusiastic about the future and all its infinite possibilities. If you need change – look no further. (Clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP Master Practitioner, NLP Trainer and founder of The American Alliance of Hypnotists and The American University of NLP)

Daryl teaches in a way that is immersive and informative. His easy, relaxed style gives you the impression that you are a part of a conversation, not just instruction. He is informative, passionate and in the absolute perfect profession, both as a trainer and a therapist. I enjoy Daryl's classes immensely and retain what i learn so much easier that i do with others and that's because he connects with the class. His enthusiasm and his knowledge are undeniable and that's the secret to his excellence. His belief in what he teaches is infectious. All his attributes as a good human, makes him an incredible teacher and therapist.

Darrin Skeet

During my training as a Hypnotherapist, I kept hearing of Daryl, who was doing great things in the therapeutic world and had an amazing energy that people found enlightening. When I finally met Daryl, I found it was no exaggeration and have since found him to be one of the nicest and most genuine people I have ever met, and could highly recommend him to anyone who has a need for healing or change. Daryl is a warm and engaging person who makes you feel like you’re the only person who matters when he is working with you and very quickly puts you at ease. His depth of knowledge is vast and varied but never complete as Daryl has a passion for development and is willing to listen and learn from anyone with knowledge or skill. He is incredibly generous with his time and energy and while earning a living is important for everyone, in my experience Daryl’s motivation is in teaching you how to be the best version of yourself and making meaningful change in your life. He has a holistic approach to mind body healing that covers many things including energy, spirit, emotional, physical and practical fields but also nutrition and health. I’ve had the opportunity to attend several courses Daryl has run and found the experience fun and informative. I came away with a greater depth of knowledge than I could have asked for and will seek him out again at any opportunity. There are some amazing people doing incredible things in the Therapeutic field at the moment, but if I needed to send a family member or friend to anyone for help, Daryl would be at the top of any list I made, he’s that good.
