Biography for Daniel Geary, CRSS, CHt
Daniel Geary is a Certified Hypnotherapist and the Founder and CEO of Zen Hypnosis, a nonprofit wellness organization headquartered in his hometown of Attalla, Alabama. He maintains his private practice in Attalla, providing structured, client‑centered hypnotic services to individuals across Etowah County and the surrounding region.
Daniel’s commitment to therapeutic work is informed in part by personal loss. The death of his sister, who passed away in his arms, became a defining moment in his life. The profound grief and trauma he experienced strengthened his resolve to support others facing emotional pain, shaping his dedication to trauma‑responsive care.
His clinical focus includes trauma‑informed hypnosis, support for individuals experiencing symptoms related to PTSD, addiction recovery support, weight‑management hypnosis, and regression‑based therapeutic work. His approach emphasizes safety, consistency, and measurable progress, offering clients a stable environment for both short‑term relief and long‑term personal development.
Daniel brings a diverse foundation of training and discipline to his work as a Certified Hypnotherapist. His background includes continued education through the Boy Scouts of America, Red Cross training, and over three decades of martial arts experience. As a 3rd‑degree black belt in Taekwondo with 34 years of practice, along with additional mixed martial arts training, he integrates focus, regulation, and resilience into his client‑centered approach.
Before entering the field of hypnotic practice, Daniel served in the United States Army as a CBRN Specialist (74D), completing advanced training including Airborne/Ranger‑track instruction and rising to the rank of Sergeant before his honorable separation in 2008. His military experience contributes to his structured, disciplined therapeutic style and his ability to support clients dealing with stress, trauma, and high‑pressure life events.
These combined experiences—clinical training, continued education, martial discipline, and military service—inform Daniel’s commitment to providing safe, consistent, and outcome‑focused hypnotic care. His work reflects a lifelong dedication to service, personal mastery, and helping others navigate emotional and behavioral challenges with strength and clarity.
