Biography for Ziya Aliyev, CHt

After a spine operation left him struggling with chronic pain, limited mobility, and emotional trauma, Ziya turned to self-hypnosis through the Hypnosis Motivation Institute (HMI). Learning the language of the subconscious and the secrets behind body syndromes helped him not only heal—but discover his life’s mission.

Today, Ziya uses clinical hypnotherapy, deep imagery, and intuitive insight to guide clients through transformation without retraumatization. His work has helped people overcome anxiety, break free from self-destructive patterns, and even step back from suicidal thoughts. He is known for quickly identifying subconscious blocks and helping clients reprogram them through symbolic and subconscious journeys.

Ziya also has a strong presence in the Russian-speaking community and offers sessions in English, Russian, Azerbaijani, and Turkish.

Clinical Focus: Trauma recovery (body and childhood), pain management, motivational programming, imagery-based change work, bad habits, daily motivation, self-love, sports mindset, past life regression, and exploring the collective unconscious.

Ziya’s story is proof that healing starts within—and he now helps others rewrite their own subconscious story with clarity, compassion, and purpose.

Experience

Ziya has worked with clients from all walks of life—including trauma survivors, immigrants, athletes, entrepreneurs, and those battling chronic pain or emotional burnout. He is especially effective with clients who feel “stuck” emotionally or physically, and has a strong ability to tune into the subconscious root of the issue using imagery, metaphor, and body-symptom decoding.

His approach blends deep imagery work, subconscious reprogramming, and motivational hypnotherapy. Ziya has guided individuals out of severe emotional states—including those experiencing suicidal thoughts—by helping them shift their inner dialogue and reconnect with purpose. He has also successfully supported clients in overcoming chronic habits, fears, guilt, shame, and physical pain with emotional origins.

Ziya frequently works with clients from Russian-speaking or post-Soviet cultures who carry deep-rooted patterns related to geographical mentality and cultural programming—such as fear of judgment, emotional freezing in social situations, a tendency to suppress expression, or feeling like they "owe" something to others. Many of his clients struggle with internal conflict between their own desires and what “people might say.” Through his sessions, Ziya helps them rewire these inherited beliefs and reclaim their own inner voice.

His sessions are known for being emotionally safe, deeply intuitive, and transformational—often producing breakthroughs in just a few sessions. He integrates past life regression, symbolic journeys, and exploration of the collective unconscious for clients ready to go deeper.

Fluent in Russian, Turkish, Azerbaijani, and English, Ziya offers culturally sensitive hypnotherapy to an international community—with a strong following among Russian-speaking clients in the U.S.
