About John Koenig, Board Certified Hypnotist and Past-Life Facilitator

I am a Board Certified Hypnotist and Certified Hypnotist Certification Instructor with the National Guild of Hypnotists – the world’s largest professional association of hypnotists. I have practiced in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts since 1998 and my work has been featured on both NBC and ABC National News.

My ideal client is someone who is ready for a big change in some area of life such as smoking, weight, stress, career, health or relationships. My Possibilities Process TM is designed to help you turn thoughts into reality through hypnosis and hypnotic coaching. I will guide you through hypnosis and inquiry to create new possibilities: become a non-smoker, lose weight and keep it off, better able to handle life’s stresses and deal with many, many other issues.

I wrote the book The Hypnotic Coach to explain how it works. You’ll receive a free copy at our first session. If you are interested in past life exploration, please click here.

In 2022 I was honored by my professional association (The National Guild of Hypnotists) with The Order of Braid for Lifetime Achievement. That is me on the left in case there was any doub.

And last year as well, I published MY AUTOBIOGRAPHIES: An introduction to Past Life Exploration for Personal and Spiritual Growth. Available on Amazon in Audibook, Ebook, Paperback and Hardcover.

I was always fascinated by the mind and consciousness. Earned a Bachelors in Psychology, but also read widely, meditated, studied. In my early 30s I was working as a Madison Avenue copywriter (Duncan Hines Cakes, Crisco Shortening, Jeep Vehicles) and a colleague went to a hypnotist for creativity. He got great results. I went. I got great results. And I just had to know more about this hypnosis thing. I took courses and became a Certified Hypnotist. That was over 30 years ago. Today, helping people change, heal and grow is my passion and life. I see myself as a catalyst for people who are ready for a big change in their lives. Smokers. Those suffering with weight, alcohol, drug, other destructive issues and habits. My question to you will be are you ready for a change? If the answer is yes, I will do everything in my power to help you make that dream a reality.

This interview on my upcoming presentation at the National Guild of Hypnotists International Convention will give you an idea of  how I approach personal change. 

Here is a little about my background as a hypnotist

First, I am a board certified hypnotist who has practiced hypnosis for over 25 years (Rhode Island and Massachusetts since 1998).
