When I worked as a paramedic we had to attend continuing education every year to stay certified/licensed. It was the same for nurses. In fact I would guess it is likely the same for any profession. So why would you think this profession would be any different. If you want to be successful you must invest in yourself in terms of continuing education. Dave has been involved in teaching/training his whole adult life (over 40 years)

Here is what some former students have said
I took my first training in hypnosis with Dave in 2010. It provided me with an excellent base, which I integrated into the services that I offered. I still use some of the techniques I learned with Dave a decade later! The training was in person and Dave's great personality, humour and friendliness made for a very inspiring experience.

Dave I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You helped me create a new career which has surpassed my expectations. I choose my own hours, I help people break free of negative behaviours AND I am financially independant. I love the feedback I get from my successful clients. Life is good!
Thank You sooo Much!

Dave, as you know, I took this training strictly for personal growth but I just wanted to tell you some of the things that have happened over the last six months since. Not only do I have a better, more positive outlook but it has rubbed off on my wife and children. I never tried to do that, it just happened. Our whole family unit is so much better. Also, I helped two of my neighbours stop smoking. Thanks

Emergency First Aid for the Hypnotist/Hypnotherapist
Monday January 18, 2021 (international certification) *Due to Covid 19 this class will be a 3 hour online seminar (information & demonstrations only, not certified) Monday, January 18/20. 7-10PM $60.00
ONE symptom of a heart attack is chest pain. This is a life threatening event. ONE symptom of an anxiety attack is chest pain. This is NOT a life threatening event.
Could you tell the difference? Could you take the proper measures to ensure the safety and well being of these two potential office clients?
What about a seizure? or a diabetic emergency? Take this 3 hour class and have the knowledge AND the confidence to know you can save a life.
Dave was a Paramedic for 24 years in Ottawa, Canada's national capital. Although he has not practiced pre-hospital emergency care for many years he has kept his Instructor’s certificate up to date and is now offering this National Certification to fellow hypnotists with special emphasis on what types of medical emergency your client might experience while at your office AND how to handle it. The content presented is required for National Certification but will lean towards your office setting. You will receive a great First Aid manual for easy reference, a wallet card/certificate, and international certification. This one day class includes:
- Basic Assessment skills- when do we call 911?
- Priority Assessment
- Head & Spinal injuries
- Shock- we have all heard the word but what is it? how do we know if someone has it?
- Asthma and breathing problems
- Allergic Reactions
- Wounds & Bleeding
- Burns
- Seizures
- Diabetic emergencies
- Chain of Survival
- CPR/Choking
- Signs & symptoms of Heart attack
- Signs & symptoms of Stroke
- Introduction to Public Access Defibrillation- this is great knowledge to have. These devices are pretty much the same all over North America in arenas, libraries, city buildings, airports, hotels, etc; Wouldn’t it be great if you knew how to use it in advance of an emergency? Here is your chance.
7:00-10:00PM What some participants said
Thanks for doing the class, Dave. It was wonderful of you to come all the way from Brockville to empower all of us to become confident and adept with all the new equipment and rules and changes in the ‘First Aid Delivery World’. I learned all that I came to learn and more, plus of course the class was so entertaining, with your affable sense of humour, that the day went by far too quickly. It was great seeing you again!
Take good care Judy M. 2018
