Associate of Occupational Studies Degree

Mind-Body Psych Seal

HMI is now proud to offer a new “one plus one” educational program. This one plus one means that graduates of HMI’s one-year Hypnotherapy Diploma program, now have the option to apply for a second year of study resulting in a 2-year, Accredited Occupational Degree.

After completing the combined two years of applied learning, which includes 18 months of clinical internship, HMI graduates enter private practice with a winning combination of an Accredited Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy and an Associate of Occupational Studies Degree in Mind-Body Psychology. This combination provides students the most extensive and thorough preparation for a career in Hypnotherapy available anywhere in the world today.

We believe so strongly that every first-year diploma student should be taking this second-year degree program, we have created an offer that you can’t refuse. To give you a risk-free opportunity to experience the benefits of this program first hand, we have made the first 60 days of your enrollment a trial basis for both you and the school. If for any reason you question your decision, there is no cost, obligation or explanation necessary.

HMI Graduate Surveys

What are HMI Graduates earning in their self-employed, hypnotherapy private practice?

30 days after graduation, a total of 389 HMI Graduates were asked to complete a survey and provide feedback on their level of satisfaction, suggestions on how we can make the HMI program even better, and their average number of clients per week and average charge per session. As of Monday, April 14, 2025, 357 HMI Graduates have completed their survey and the results are shown below.

Please note that the numbers above are dynamic and that these numbers change every time a another graduate completes their survey. It should also be noted that their results may be different from your own and that success in self-employment during internship and after graduation requires due diligence and self-motivation.

When evaluating the average number of client sessions per week, please note that these graduates are just starting their private practices, many just 30 days after graduation. It should also be noted that the consensus is that HMI Graduates are looking to work less hours per week than they would in a traditional job, as well as have the flexibility to control their schedule and workload according to their individual preferences.

The numbers listed above are averages, so there are some graduates who are earning below the average listed and there are other graduates earning above the averages listed. Again, your results may vary. We encourage you to review the complete survey results page and our statement on Reasonable Outcome Expectations for more in-depth information on expectations for income after graduation.
