Biography for Tania M. Crawford, CHt

I am a Certified Hypnotherapist and Nationally Certified Medical Interpreter with over 18 years of experience supporting people through emotionally and physically vulnerable moments. My clinical background has shaped my ability to hold space with empathy, clarity, and deep listening.

I offer bilingual hypnotherapy sessions in English and Spanish, working remotely with clients across the U.S. and worldwide. Whether you’re looking to break a habit, reduce anxiety, build confidence, or navigate a life transition, I create a safe and personalized space for transformation.

Using the power of the subconscious mind, I guide clients in shifting long-held beliefs and patterns through methods like guided imagery, suggestion therapy, NLP, and therapeutic journaling. Even a small shift in perspective can open the door to lasting change—and I help you access that from within.

I believe true transformation doesn’t come from outside of us—it begins internally, with the stories we hold and the beliefs we carry. I’m honored to walk with my clients on their journey back to inner strength, clarity, and peace.

Experience

Before becoming a hypnotherapist, I spent nearly two decades as a certified medical interpreter, working in hospitals and clinical environments. This work allowed me to witness the emotional and psychological struggles people face, often in moments when they feel overwhelmed, unheard, or afraid. That experience taught me how to connect deeply, listen with presence, and hold a safe space for healing conversations.

My education at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute, combined with my intuitive and empathic nature, allows me to work with clients from all walks of life. I’ve received specialized training in techniques such as Therapeutic Imagery, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), which I integrate into my client-centered approach.

Today, I run my own remote practice—Inner Shift Hypnotherapy—serving both English and Spanish-speaking clients around the world. Each session is tailored to support lasting transformation from the inside out.
