Presenters and Presentations - Our weekend lineup includes some great presentations to inspire and enhance your work in hypnosis and hypnotherapy.  Here's the lineup of excitement that awaits you at the conference.

- Saturday - 

10:00 AM   - Opening  -  HEA President Patricia Scott

10:15 AM - Noon  - Susan Watson - How To Make Things Happen

Aaaargh!  You want it to happen, you believe it can happen, you've done everything you can to force it to happen, but…It. Just. Won't. Happen.   Susan Watson presents methods based on the work of Martha Beck (better known as Oprah's Life Coach), Koelle Simpson (recognized as the best horse whisperer in the world) and Byron Katie (author and founder of "The Work").   You'll learn a few techniques to help you use your personal power in a calm, intense, and practical way that closes the gap between dreaming dreams, and seeing them come true.

Susan Watson is a Certified Hypnotist, NLP Practitioner and Life Coach located in Jacksonville, Florida.

12:15 - 1:00PM  - Duke Swann - Hypnosis for pre- and post- surgery 

Medical and dental surgery can be one of the most vulnerable times for clients. If they are unfamiliar with the hospital they can worry a great deal prior to the procedure, "fear of the unknown". If they work in the medical industry or have a lot of knowledge about hospitals, employees, etc., they may become even more stressed in anticipation of surgery because they know what can happen. Both types of clients benefit from stress management before the procedure. The anxious patient requires more anesthesia and therefore more time to reach the necessary level of anesthesia and more time for recovery. In this presentation, Duke will share the various techniques he's used that can help you when working with surgical patients.

Alfred A "Duke" Swann IV  aka "The Hypno Coach" - Duke specializes in stress management with emphasis on pre and post surgical intervention, sports performance-golf (all levels), other team and individual sports, business & personal life coaching, Neuro Linguistic Programming, habit control, weight management, smoking cessation, nail biting and Medical Hypnosis (with referral).  He’s a Certified Hypnotherapist and Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming with additional training in EFT (Gary Craig); EFT, SET, PET & 100% Yes! Training (Steve Wells & Dr. David Lake -EFT Downunder); Psych-K-Kaizen Performance Group (Robin Graham); The Silva Method-Silva International (Jose Silva, Burt Goldman, Betty Perry, The Dale Carnegie Institute).

1:00 - 2:30 PM - Lunch Break

2:30 - 3:45 PM  - Jan Rysdon – Accessing the Healer Within

Sometimes life creates situations that make our clients or us step back, take a breath, and say… "Whoa…!" When we feel stressed by work, family, relationships; when we face situations that seem beyond our control; or perhaps when we need help to assist our bodies in the healing process for emotional, mental, or physical concerns. As healing arts practitioners, we have many techniques at hand that will help our clients and ourselves through those times. I believe we can always use new ideas to add to our toolbox, so in this interactive workshop I will present some practical ideas – "Mental Tricks for Healing" -- for you to use and share with your clients to help access the healer within.
