Hypnosis Motivation Institute Administration and Faculty

HMI Administrators

HMI was founded in 1968 by Dr. John Kappas. Dr. Kappas literally defined the profession of hypnotherapy in 1973, when he wrote and defined the profession of a "Hypnotherapist" in the Federal Dictionary of Occupational Titles. That hypnotherapy definition remains in force and unchanged today.
