The Horizon Center School of Hypnotherapy

A Client-Centered, Whole Brain Approach Focused on Real-World Skill

Are you drawn to hypnotherapy because you want to help people create real, lasting change?

This self-paced professional training is designed to teach you how hypnotherapy actually works - not just in theory, but in real client sessions, with real people and real complexity.

You’ll learn a client-centered, whole-brain approach to hypnotherapy that prioritizes safety, ethics, and

effective work with the subconscious mind.

​

Whether you want to add hypnotherapy to an existing practice or develop professional-level skills

in subconscious change work, this program provides a strong, practical foundation.

​

Certification is optional and pursued independently.
This training provides the education and preparation commonly required by recognized hypnotherapy organizations,

should you choose to pursue certification through them.

​

Why This Training Exists

This program exists because hypnotherapy deserves to be taught with depth, context, and responsibility.

It’s not about memorizing scripts or chasing the trendiest technique.
It’s about understanding why symptoms form, how change actually happens, and what to do with the person in front of you.

This training is for people who want to think clearly, work ethically, and understand the subconscious mind rather than try to control it.

 

Why Train With Me

I’m Linda Sevilla, creator of the Whole Brain Hypnotherapy approach and founder of the Horizon Center.

I’ve been practicing and teaching hypnotherapy since 1999 - long before online training became common - and I’ve worked in nearly every role this field offers.

 

Over the years, I have:

  • Maintained a long-term, full-time hypnotherapy practice

  • Run and directed my own hypnotherapy school

  • Written multiple levels of professional training material, including extensive theory manuals and script resources

  • Served in leadership roles within hypnotherapy associations

  • Been invited to speak at conferences across Canada and the U.S.

  • Appeared regularly on talk radio for over seven years, answering live questions about hypnotherapy and its real-world applications

  • Conducted live hypnosis demonstrations on air

 

I’ve done the client work.
I’ve taught students.
I’ve written the material.

 

I’ve seen what works — and what doesn’t.

This training is the distillation of that experience.

It’s designed to pass on understanding, not just information.

​

Who This Training Is For

This training is for you if:

  • You want to understand how hypnotherapy works, not just what to say or what script to use

  • You value ethics, responsibility, and real client work

  • You want professional-level skills you can actually use with real people

  • You are open to personal growth- it is impossible to learn about hypnotherapy, the way I teach it, without being willing to look within 

 

This training may not be a fit if:

  • You’re looking for the fastest certification possible

  • You want a formula without learning how to think

  • You’re not interested in depth, context, or understanding

​

If you’re curious whether this approach fits how you think and learn, you don’t have to decide right away.

You can explore the first two units of the training for free and get a feel for the depth, pacing, and teaching style before committing.

 

What Makes This Training Different

Whole Brain Hypnotherapy: A Practical, Client-Centered Approach

Whole Brain Hypnotherapy integrates conscious understanding with subconscious change work, allowing you to adapt to each client rather than rely on scripts.

​

Instead of using one-size-fits-all techniques, you’ll learn how to:

  • Assess what’s actually happening with a client

  • Understand how symptoms formed and what they’re doing

  • Understand how the subconscious is operating in terms of the client's symptoms

  • Adjust your approach based on depth, responsiveness, and context

 

This training focuses on how to think through a session, not just how to perform one.

The goal is competence and confidence - so you know what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, and how to adjust when needed.

 

A Comprehensive, Skill-Focused Training

This is not a quick “watch a few videos and call yourself trained” program.

The curriculum is structured to help you:

  • Build a solid conceptual foundation

  • Understand the reasoning behind each approach

  • Develop confidence applying what you learn

You’ll move through the material in a thoughtful progression designed to support real learning, not overwhelm.

 

Designed by a Practitioner and a Teacher

In addition to my background in hypnotherapy, I hold a Bachelor of Education.

That matters here.

This training isn’t just based on what I know - it’s structured around how people actually learn complex material.

 

I understand how to:

  • break difficult concepts into manageable pieces

  • sequence material so understanding builds naturally

  • teach to different learning styles

  • give clear, meaningful feedback

  • avoid cognitive overload while still teaching depth

 

​This is why the program moves at a deliberate pace, revisits key ideas in different ways,

and emphasizes understanding over memorization.

The goal isn’t to rush you through information.

​

It’s to help you integrate what you’re learning so you can use it confidently and responsibly.

 

Self-Paced, Independent Learning

This training is fully self-paced, allowing you to move through the material on your own schedule

and revisit lessons as needed.

 

You’ll work through a structured curriculum that includes:

  • Detailed video lessons with supporting documents

  • Assignments and Exercises

  • Real-world examples drawn from actual client work

  • Hypnosis sessions and exercises for you to experiences

  • quizzes and games to test your understanding

This format is ideal for people who value depth, autonomy, and integration over speed.

 

Real Client Session Library

To bridge the gap between theory and practice, the program includes a library of real client consultations

and hypnotherapy sessions.

 

You’ll see:

  • How sessions are structured

  • How decisions are made moment by moment

  • How theory translates into real interaction

This offers insight into how hypnotherapy actually looks in practice - not just how it’s described in textbooks.

 

About Scripts in This Training

Scripts play an important role in learning hypnotherapy, especially early on.

This program includes an extensive script book designed to teach:

  • Structure

  • Therapeutic reasoning

  • What effectives hypnotherapy scripts look and sound like

  • Effective language patterns

 

These are not generic affirmation scripts.

They are built as hypnotic arguments - carefully structured language that engages both the conscious and subconscious mind.

Scripts are taught as a starting point.

​

As you progress, you’ll learn how to adapt them, write your own material, tailor your language to each individual client and eventually work spontaneously without any scripts, even interacting with your client s as you address their challenges real time..

 

More Than a Credential

This training provides the educational foundation commonly required by recognized hypnotherapy organizations.

Certification is optional and pursued independently, should you choose that route.

The focus here is skill, understanding, and ethical application - not the credential itself.

 

Learning hypnotherapy isn’t about collecting certificates.

It’s about understanding how change happens and knowing how to work responsibly with the subconscious mind.

TESTIMONIALS

I am so happy I decided to study hypnotherapy with Linda. Of all the post-secondary and continuing education I have done, this was by far the most value for the money. She has the rare quality of being a phenomenally talented practitioner and also an engaging teacher – not everyone can excel at both roles, but she does.

 

I would recommend her course because she not only has years of technical experience and a wealth of knowledge to share, but also holds a teaching degree and it shows. Her presentation of the material was detailed, well organized, and comprehensive. She’s also a very compassionate, sensitive, and attentive facilitator when it comes to group sharing and discussion. I looked forward to every class and was sad when it was over!Learning hypnosis is a life-changing experience whether you go on to practice professionally, simply incorporate parts into your current therapeutic work, or are just interested in learning how to make improvements in your own life. It truly is an indispensable life skill with so many practical applications and I would recommend Linda’s course without reservation.  Carmen Spagnola
