Biography for Dounia Chadili, CHt, CPT, CNC

After more than eighteen years working in Clinical Operations in the pharmaceutical industry, specializing in oncology research, Dounia witnessed firsthand the remarkable power of the mind. She became fascinated by the placebo effect and its influence on treatment outcomes. This profound observation sparked her curiosity and inspired her to explore complementary methods of supporting individuals on their healing journey.

As she pursued her Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute, Dounia discovered that hypnosis, together with the wide range of modalities she was introduced to, could create profound transformations. She now combines her expertise in hypnosis with her background as a Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach, offering a holistic approach to well-being.

Dounia believes that by harnessing the power of the mind, the possibilities for healing, resilience, and personal growth are truly limitless.
