Biography for Jacalyn E. Duncan, CAHA, CCHt

Jacalyn Duncan is Founder and Director of Hypno Practique. On March 2, 2023 she became an Honors Graduate of Hypnosis Motivation Institute “HMI” Nationally Accredited College of Hypnotherapy through their 720-Hour Clinical Hypnotherapy Training Program; obtaining her Clinical Hypnotherapy Diploma with Honors. During the first year of her studies she additionally received recognition through earning all three of HMI College’s awards of excellence; Director’s Award, Academic Achievement Award, and the Clinical Achievement Award for the graduating class of 2023. She also took home a ribbon for becoming Neuro-Linguistic Programming “NLP” Practitioner and Certified Specialist in Mental and Emotional Release® Therapy.

Following her success of her first year of study, Jacalyn immediately enrolled in HMI’s 720-Hour Associates of Occupational Studies (AOS) Mind-Body Psychology Degree Program; where she tirelessly maintained her educational standard of excellence with a strong 4.0 GPA. On April 8, 2024 she became an Honors Graduate of the AOS Mind-Body Psychology Degree Program, which elevated her credential to a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (CCHt). Throughout her education with HMI, Jacalyn has consistently devoted herself to not just her own success, but offering support and encouragement to her peers, colleagues, and the staff and faculty of HMI with the interest of the overall success within the field of hypnotherapy.

Jacalyn is also a Certified Advanced Handwriting Analyst (CAHA), and uses this skillset regularly in her client sessions. This skill provides her with an ability to read and translate the ideomotor traits of a person’s subconscious, offering a detailed snapshot of the writer’s personality, behavior, tendencies and so much more, at the time of writing. Which significantly aids her in seeing how and where she is able to possibly assist her clientele. It is also a service she offers professionally to corporations, organizations, and agencies separate from her services as a hypnotherapist. Should a hypnotherapy client request a full evaluation on their handwriting, it can be arranged for a additional fee, separate from their session fee.

The mission in her practice is to significantly reduce and manage emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms; for an effective Pain Management and Trauma Recovery. Where she strives to achieve results with the implementation of hypnotherapy and the incredible mind-body connection. Due to her concentration of work falling out of the scope of avocational, vocational, motivational, inspirational and general improvement with traditional hypnotherapy; she often requires referrals from her client’s medical doctor (who has performed their medical evaluation and sees no contraindication to hypnotherapy in adjunct to their prescribed treatment plan) and/or from the client’s mental health care professional (who has also confirmed that hypnotherapy is not contraindicated to the client’s interest and would be a beneficial adjunct to their prescribed treatment plan.).

The next stepping stone of her ambitions and plans are to enroll at Antioch University’s bridged Bachelor “BA” / Masters “MA” matriculation program with HMI, during the year of 2024. She is only waiting to hear the finalizations and announcements on this matriculation agreement going “live”. While still holding onto every intention of obtaining her Clinical Psychology “PhD” through ISU, in the years proceeding her studies with Antioch. Eventually, she might even be interested in one day becoming a professor of psychology at ISU, in adjunct to her own private practice.

She is an active Member of the American Hypnosis Association (AHA). Demonstrating a diligence towards her commitment in consistent attendance to all AHA Conferences, as well as her continual growth through an actively participating with lifelong continuing education within the field of Hypnotherapy and Mind-Body Psychology. This commitment and insatiable hunger for knowledge and understanding is plainly seen with in the extensive number of classes and hours she indulged herself in during her time as a student at HMI, and the support she additionally has so willingly extended to her peers and colleagues without expectation or judgement.

And she still uses art as a therapeutic emotional-release in present day. Throughout the years she has won various art contests, including contests that she was volunteered for by her instructors surprise submissions of her work. Due to this background she was particularly attracted to her class on Therapeutic Journaling in her first year of studies.

With genuine belief that this is an absolutely vital part of also achieving more emotional stability; since gut bacteria manufacture about 95 percent of the body’s supply of serotonin, which influences both mood and GI activity. And as of today, science has shown that there are more than 50 gut hormone genes and a multitude of bioactive peptides, which makes the gut as the largest endocrine organ of the body.

Science is proving that the human body consists of three brains; Head, Heart, and Gut have complex neural pathways that work together. Listening to all three of them is key to making better decisions. This theory is supported through many research studies with the Gut-Brain-Axis, the Head-Heart Body Connection, HeartMath (Heart Coherence), Epigenetics, Bessel van der Kolk’s ‘The Body Keeps the Score’ research, Candace Pert’s “Molecules of Emotion” research, and Brené Brown’s extensive emotion research is among countless other research studies that support the importance of the biology of our emotions. All research surmounting to the fact that as human beings we are biological and emotional beings on a cellular level. Thusly, our subconscious emotions are at the root of our essence and the human experience/existence is through our very biology.
