Biography for Melissa Echelberger, CCHt
As a Certified Master Hypnotist, Melissa Echelberger invites you to join her on a journey of exploration into the natural healing properties of your mind, body and spirit. Whether it is the achievement of a personal improvement goal or the urgent need to find a healthy more fulfilling life path, the therapeutic use of hypnosis, imagery and mindfulness is a powerful tool to comfortably and efficiently assist you to achieve your goals.
Melissa’s journey of understanding the healing powers of the mind began when a friend encouraged her to try hypnotherapy. In those private sessions, she experienced spiritual and personal breakthroughs unlike anything else she had tried previously. It was hypnotherapy that helped her discover – and more importantly access – the powers within her own mind that offered her the ability and path to transform her life. One by one, from personal goals and habits to deeper issues of self-esteem, self-love and fear of success, hypnotherapy delivered an organic, rapid, yet comfortable, path to the life goals and purpose she was seeking.
Melissa was guided to study at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute’s Nationally Accredited College of Hypnotherapy. She enrolled in and completed the self-paced 300-hour program as a distance student from her home in South Orange County. When COVID-19 forced HMI to retool their 720-hour program, Melissa seized the opportunity to continue her hypnotherapy education and enrolled in HMI’s 720-hour interactive distance education program. The additional year of interactive classes and supervised clinical practice provided her with many wonderful and fascinating tools to assist people with empowerment and personal transformation.
During her clinical hypnotherapy internship, she had the good fortune to work directly with the Director of the Institute and key Senior Staff Instructors to learn to integrate her prior learning experiences into her hypnotherapy practice, combining everything she had learned on her own path with the clinical hypnotherapy skills she had acquired at the College.
Today, Melissa has found her life’s passion, reaching out her hand to others who are on or looking for the path of personal transformation. Nothing fills her heart more than to witness a soul releasing its pain, discovering its power, and finding its purpose. That’s what happened to her and she welcomes the opportunity to witness it happening to you.
