Today we’d like to introduce you to Christine Ellison.
Hi Christine, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I was born and raised in Southern California, always curious, creative, and drawn to both science and art. At my core, I’ve always wanted to inspire others to live their best lives which naturally led me to hypnotherapy.
I first discovered hypnosis as a teenager, using guided imagery recordings to cope with the stresses of growing up. Though I didn’t imagine it as a career at the time, I loved how transformative it was. In college, I explored everything from theater and philosophy to psychology and sociology before stumbling upon HMI College of Hypnotherapy. The moment I toured the school, I knew I’d found my path.
I graduated in 2017 and quickly built a thriving hypnotherapy practice. When the pandemic hit, I paused client work to care for a family member, but I stayed current with my education and reconnected with my mission. Now, I’ve returned to my practice with renewed energy, dedicating myself to both client work and hypnosis education. Today, I feel grateful to do the work I love, helping others transform, create freedom, and live inspired lives.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Running your own business is always a challenge, especially in a field as unconventional as hypnotherapy. I’ve known for a long time that I’m not meant for a 9–5 office job, but creating a life of freedom and purpose has come with its own obstacles. Many people still misunderstand hypnosis, and for a while I worried about how others might perceive what I do. But the more I reconnect with myself and the mission behind my work, the easier it becomes to let go of those fears and focus on what truly feels right for me. My work isn’t for everyone, but for those who are open-minded, it can be profoundly life-changing.
I’ve also learned that being the best hypnotherapist I can be starts with how I care for myself. Staying aligned and in control of my own state allows me to show up fully for my clients. That’s meant letting go of old habits and relationships that weren’t supportive of my path, which has been difficult at times, but ultimately essential and deeply rewarding.
We’ve been impressed with Christine Ellison C. Ht., Hypnotherapy, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
As a certified hypnotherapist, I’m dedicated to creating a healthier world by helping people transform their lives, one client at a time. My work is centered on guiding clients to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and step into a deeper sense of confidence and self-trust. I have the privilege of working with a wide range of people, including artists, writers, performers, and other professionals, supporting them in both their personal growth and creative journeys.
Every client’s path is unique, which is why my sessions are highly personalized. Whether the focus is on relieving anxiety, improving self-esteem, releasing unhelpful patterns, or achieving meaningful goals, I provide a safe, supportive space to explore the inner world and cultivate lasting change. To create the most effective experience, I integrate a variety of modalities including NLP, CBT, dream therapy, and guided imagery, allowing me to meet each client where they are and guide them toward the best possible results.
Any big plans?
I’m really excited about what’s ahead! Lately I’ve been teaming up with other hypnotherapists and wellness professionals on new courses and projects, and I’ve also started recording my own guided meditations and hypnosis audio tracks, just like the ones that first inspired me years ago. The hypno world is such a fun, interesting community, and with many conferences coming up, I’m looking forward to attending some and hopefully speaking at others.
Most of all, I’m excited to keep growing in this work and supporting my clients along the way.
