Biography for Salvador Mora, CCHt

Salvador “Sal” Mora is a bilingual Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Meta Coach, and Licensed NLP and Neuro-Semantics Trainer who has dedicated his life to guiding people through meaningful transformation.

A proud graduate of the Hypnosis Motivation Institute (HMI) in the United States, where he earned an AOS Degree in Mind-Body Psychology, Sal has spent more than two decades helping individuals, couples, and families identify and release subconscious blocks that limit growth in areas such as stress, confidence, relationships, and life purpose.

Born and educated in Mexico, where he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from UNAM, Sal later pursued advanced studies in the US, including a specialization in Substance Abuse Counseling at Harold Washington College in Chicago. His multicultural background allows him to work fluently in English and Spanish, serving diverse communities with empathy, clarity, and practical results.

Sal’s journey into hypnotherapy and coaching came from a passion for human potential. Over the years, he has integrated multiple disciplines—Hypnotherapy, NLP, Neuro-Semantics, Breathwork, Past-Life Regression, and Coaching—to create a holistic and results-oriented approach. Clients describe his sessions as both powerful and practical; a safe space where they can uncover inner clarity, heal emotional wounds, and take measurable steps toward a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Beyond his clinical practice, Sal is also a Certified Firewalking Instructor, a Breathwork Facilitator, and an active trainer who certifies new practitioners and coaches internationally. He is also a proud member of the American Hypnosis Association (AHA), continuing to learn, contribute, and uphold high professional standards in the field of hypnotherapy.

For Sal, hypnotherapy and coaching are not just what he does—they reflect the very essence of who he is; a guide, a teacher, and a lifelong learner committed to human transformation.
