Biography for Jaclyn Tranchida, CHt

I am a Certified Hypnotherapist, an HMI Graduate with High Honors, and a Member of the American Hypnosis Association.

My fascination with hypnosis was sparked many years ago when I came to a difficult place in my own life—one that logic and perfectionism couldn’t solve. A friend suggested hypnotherapy, and as I’m sure some of you are right now, I was skeptical. But over time, the profound and powerful change that occurred was undeniable. After a lifetime of feeling a little far away from myself, I was finally able to rewrite my story and slowly knock down the walls in the way of being exactly who I am.

Helping others has always been a big part of me. Even before becoming a hypnotherapist, my passion was always people. I earned my degree in Journalism from Northwestern University and spent two decades as a television host, meeting folks from all walks of life and sharing their stories.

Now, I combine that love of human connection with my Kappasinian training from HMI, the top hypnotherapy institute in America, to guide others on their own path to transformation. Because nothing feels better than waking up every day knowing exactly who you are—and how you want to show up in the world.

Experience

As a Certified Hypnotherapist, I guide clients toward reconnecting with who they truly are beneath limiting beliefs and old patterns. My work is centered on relationships, self-esteem, and helping people step into their most authentic and fulfilled selves. Through the subconscious mind, change becomes not only possible, but effortless and natural.

Ultimately, my goal is to help people live more freely, with greater self-trust and alignment. Hypnotherapy is not about becoming someone new—it’s about becoming more of who you truly are.
