What are HMI Graduates earning in their self-employed, hypnotherapy private practice?

30 days after graduation, a total of 373 HMI Graduates were asked to complete a survey and provide feedback on their level of satisfaction, suggestions on how we can make the HMI program even better, and their average number of clients per week and average charge per session.

Please note that the numbers above are dynamic and that these numbers change every time a another graduate completes their survey. It should also be noted that their results may be different from your own and that success in self-employment during internship and after graduation requires due diligence and self-motivation.

When evaluating the average number of client sessions per week, please note that these graduates are just starting their private practices, many just 30 days after graduation. It should also be noted that the consensus is that HMI Graduates are looking to work less hours per week than they would in a traditional job, as well as have the flexibility to control their schedule and workload according to their individual preferences.

The numbers listed above are averages, so there are some graduates who are earning below the average listed and there are other graduates earning above the averages listed. Again, your results may vary. We encourage you to review the complete survey results page and our statement on Reasonable Outcome Expectations for more in-depth information on expectations for income after graduation.
