Biography for Mitchell Brian Mays, CMH

Mitchell has been a primary health care provider since 1978 as a licensed Chiropractor. He is the International #1 Best Selling author of "MIND GATE: Demolish Fear, Overcome Anxiety and Create the Life You Want".

He has employed Guided Imagery and NLP techniques for pain management since 1987. As a Hypnotherapist and a Chiropractor, he has unusual insights into the mind-body "model" of health and healing. His first book, "The Mind Gate Process of Empowerment" was published in 2013 and garnered critical acclaim in several countries, including the U.S., Australia, Japan, Germany, the U.K., Italy and Canada.

He and his wife Terri, also an HMI Graduate, conduct workshops and seminars on mind/body solutions for PTSD and Adrenal Fatigue. Mitchell conducts continuing education seminars for nurses and other health care providers teaching them Theory of Mind and how to help their patients by giving them an understanding of the mind. He also speaks to companies and organizations about Theory of Mind and how to use that understanding to improve relationships at home and in the workplace and the huge benefits to the organization and individuals by staying out of freeze, fight/ flight or waking-walking state of hypnosis.

In his clinic, Mitchell's warm and caring manner is reflected in his unique way of working with his clients to help them overcome and manage fears, phobias, anxiety and chronic pain syndromes. Not surprisingly, a large part of his clientele come to him for anxieties that manifest as "body syndromes". Mitchell's focus is to help his clients create wellness in all areas of their lives utilizing hypnosis and other mind/body tools to achieve greater health, well-being and self-empowerment.

Experience

Since the early 1980's Mitchell has participated in and utilized multiple transformational processes for his own self-empowerment both personally and professionally. Mitchell has conducted workshops and given lectures based on his work as a communicator in "The "Forum" as well as American Indian Sweat Lodge "Vision Quest" ceremonies and processes including some conducted by Marvin Allen, Allen Mauer and Shoshone Chief, Corbin Hardy. Mitchell's work in "soul retrieval" embraces shamanism as a powerful tool for healing of the body and mind.

As a licensed Chiropractor of 40 years and Hypnotherapist, he is highly skilled at recognizing and addressing "body syndromes" and the need of his clients to achieve self-empowerment in order to move forward on their healing journey. He and his wife, Terri's 'Solutions' workshops and webinars for PTSD and Adrenal Fatigue offer real-world mind/body solutions for the 'overloaded' clients that our fast-paced and frantic society generate.
