American Hypnosis Association – Practice Builders Power Hour

Presented By: Kristen Giordano, CHt, CMF

Guest Speaker Kristen Giordano, CHt, shares how building a practice as a single mom required planning, self-honoring choices, and the willingness to keep showing up even when it felt uncomfortable. She explains how HMI’s range of classes, from business planning to practicum workshops, pushed her beyond her comfort zone and helped her grow in ways she would not have chosen on her own.

In this episode, Kristen explains why structure matters when building a practice, especially for students and parents who need to make intentional decisions about time, energy, and priorities. She highlights how the preinduction speech and theory of mind can immediately reduce shame, help clients feel understood, and create the emotional safety needed for change. She also shares how she moved into client work by following HMI’s curriculum, practicing consistently, and letting confidence grow through experience rather than waiting to feel fully ready first.

Kristen describes how she built visibility by offering programs, talks, and workshops through libraries, retreat centers, and wellness spaces, using creativity and courage to get her work in front of people. She also explains that some of the most effective outreach begins with deciding what you want to teach, then getting creative about where that offering belongs.

Kristen’s blend of confidence-building insight and practical practice-building strategies makes this an episode you will not want to miss. Turn insight into action and action into results. Join us to grow your practice with purpose.
