About the Guild

The Hypnosis Guild of Canada was founded to serve as a meeting point for everyone with an interest in hypnosis - regardless of background, discipline, or experience level. Too often, the worlds of clinical hypnotherapy, stage hypnosis, academic research, and self-improvement exist in silos. The Guild bridges those gaps.

We believe that recreational hypnotists and clinical practitioners have more in common than they might think, and that open conversation between these communities strengthens all of them. Our goal is not to certify or regulate, but to connect, educate, and inspire.

What We Value

  • Inclusivity - All approaches to hypnosis are welcome here, from Ericksonian to classical, from hobbyist to PhD.
  • Ethics - We promote responsible, informed, and consent-based practice in every context.
  • Curiosity - We encourage questions, exploration, and lifelong learning about the science and art of hypnosis.
  • Community - We are stronger when we share knowledge and support each other's growth.
