Biography for Kristen Luman, CCHt
Kristen Luman earned her BA in Psychology from Portland State University where she focused her studies on Paranormal Psychology and Human Development. She then went on to study at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute College of Hypnotherapy where she became a Certified Hypnotherapist and a member of the American Hypnosis Association.
Kristen’s fascination with psychosomatic conditions (field of psychology that focuses on how behavioral, psychological, and social factors influence bodily processes) led her to continue her education and receive certifications in Pain Management and Energy Healing. She is an avid user of NLP and the Eriksonian school of thought. She believes all can be achieved with the power of belief.
While preparing to go on to graduate school I was introduced to hypnotherapy. I thought “I should look into this, if I’m going to help people, I should learn all the possible tools.” I actually met with a hypnotherapist myself and was astounded by the simplicity and the effectiveness of the process. Our mind is a lot more powerful than we give it credit for.
I decided after only one visit that this is what I should be doing if I truly wanted to make a positive difference in people’s lives. We use about 88% of our subconscious mind compared to the 12% of our conscious mind. So, it made more sense to me that since hypnotherapy works directly with the subconscious mind this is how I should be helping people.”
