If You're Reading This,
You Already Know Something's Wrong
Maybe you hit snooze five times this morning, dreading your inbox.
Maybe you've been laid off and refuse to compete with 25-year-olds for entry-level pay.
Maybe you're retired but not ready to just... wait. You still have too much to give.
You want work that matters. Work that pays well. Work that doesn't require another degree, a huge investment, or selling your soul to a boss who doesn't care.
But every "follow your passion" course feels like a scam. Every career-change program wants $10K upfront. And the idea of starting over—again—at the bottom? Exhausting.
Here's what most career-change programs won't tell you: The best second-act careers aren't built on certifications, business plans, or "finding your why." They're built on high-value skills that people will pay premium rates for—immediately.
That's where professional hypnosis comes in
Why Hypnosis? (And Why Now?)
Most people think hypnosis is stage shows, swinging watches, or "woo-woo" nonsense. Here's the truth: Professional hypnosis is one of the most in-demand, high-income helping professions in the world—and almost nobody knows it exists.
What Makes Hypnosis Different from Therapy, Coaching, or Counseling?
For educational comparison only. MMHA is a training program teaching hypnosis skills—not a job placement service.

Overcome Anxiety

Change Habits &
Behaviors
Support people through habit change—smoking, weight, sleep, procrastination—using proven conversational techniques.
Build Confidence & Performance
Work with professionals on confidence, focus, and peak performance—and manage chronic pain and stress without medication.
This isn't theory you'll forget next week. The Mandel Method teaches you a principle-based system—once you understand why hypnosis works, you can make it work with your own words, your own style, every time.

Real People. Real Career Changes.
"I’m a complete newbie, but over the last few years my interest has grown to the point where I’m planning a career change from construction and heavy machinery into hypnosis/hypnotherapy. Your training style and video structure are excellent—bite-sized and easy to follow. The online academy is a no-brainer for beginners; it’s very approachable and non-intimidating to learn and practice."
Andrew Posterino
Started from zero
"I work full-time as a Clinical Hypnotherapist and this course is excellent. Even with a strong background in the theory, the way the material is presented. I especially love how NLP modalities are integrated. It's is absolutely outstanding. It’s clearer and more practical than other well-known trainings I’ve done, and even more informative than my year-long Clinical Diploma. An exceptional learning experience."
Kim Johnston
wished she started sooner
"I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the training and am amazed at how much I’ve learned in such a short time. The material is exceptionally well laid out and delivered with real clarity and depth. The quality of teaching and content gave me total confidence as I transition from a 30+ year career as an accountant into becoming a hypnotherapist. A fantastic learning experience from start to finish."
Kesh Chada
Former accountant
"I am finishing up a year long hypnosis course that has cost me over $10k. The whole way through I didn’t feel quite aligned or even that I was truly learning anything but stuck with it because of the $10k I’d already spent. 2 days ago I signed up and I have learned SO much more in the last 2 days than I have in the past year."
Erika Chinich
trained elsewhere first
"When COVID hit it cancelled everything for me so I really had to rely on the consulting part for income. I'm studying MMHA like a MAD MAN and doing a lot of sessions online and have a waiting list of people wanting to see me when this is over. THANK YOU!!... I absolutely love the online course. It completely changed my life and consulting career. The information is the BEST I ever saw."
Jason Cyrus
Career Changer
“Since joining MMHA, I’ve worked with paying clients in over 200 sessions and continue learning with every one. The techniques—especially Mindscapes and Ego State work—give me a complete toolbox so I’m never at a loss with clients. MMHA gave me the foundation and confidence to build real clinical experience.”

Practice Rooms: Where Confidence Actually Happens
This isn't "watch videos and hope for the best." It's real practice, with real people, from your first week—so you're ready when your first paying client shows up.

Practice kits for every lesson
Open for peer practice
Here's the truth about starting a new career: fear is normal. Imposter syndrome is real. And the gap between "knowing how" and "doing it confidently" can feel impossible to cross.
That's why we don't leave you alone with videos and theory. Every week, we run 11 facilitated practice sessions—structured, supportive, and designed to get you doing hypnosis with real people from Day 1.
You're not thrown into the deep end. You start where you are, practice with people at your level, and build competence step by step—until working with clients feels natural, not terrifying.
And when the scheduled sessions don't fit your schedule? Our practice rooms are open 24/7 for peer practice on your own time.
This is why our members go from "I don't know if I can do this" to "I just booked my first client" faster than anyone else.
Live Events. Ongoing Training. Real Community.
This isn't a course you finish and forget. It's an ongoing professional development system that grows with you.

But Wait—Do I Need to Be "Certified"?
Short answer: No official license is required in most places to practice hypnosis (check your local regulations). Real answer: You don't need permission—you need competence.
Important: MMHA provides professional training and certification in hypnosis techniques. This is an educational program, not a license to practice. You are responsible for understanding and complying with all local regulations regarding hypnosis practice in your area.

What You'll Receive
Who Is Mike Mandel (And Why Should You Trust Him)?
Mike Mandel has been teaching hypnosis for over 40 years. He's trained thousands of practitioners worldwide, worked with everyone from Fortune 500 executives to Olympic athletes, and built one of the most respected hypnosis training programs on the planet.
But here's what matters more:
Mike doesn't teach hypnosis like a guru selling magic tricks. He teaches it like a master tradesman passing down a craft—practical, ethical, results-driven, and built for real-world use.
For 43 years, he performed as a mentalist and stage hypnotist across Canada. He became a forensic hypnotist, working with law enforcement on armed robberies, sexual assaults, and murder cases. He ran a private therapy practice in Toronto with more referrals than he could handle.
The MMHA curriculum? Mike designed it himself. It's not theory borrowed from textbooks. It's a system built from 50+ years of actually doing this work—on stages, in therapy rooms, and in police interview rooms.
This is the training you'd get if Mike took you on as a personal apprentice—except you get it for $1 to start.
As Featured In
Your Total Risk:
One Dollar and Seven Days
Let's be honest about what you're risking here.
One dollar. The price of a gas station coffee. That's your total exposure.
For that dollar, you get 7 full days inside MMHA. Full access to the core curriculum. Full access to the practice rooms. Full access to the community.
If you love it — and we think you will — you'll continue at $49/month after your trial. Still less than most people spend on streaming services they barely watch.
If you don't love it? Cancel with one click in your customer portal. No phone calls. No guilt trips. No hoops.
The only way to lose is to not try.
Questions? We've Got Answers.
Yes. Most of our successful practitioners came in with zero hypnosis experience. What matters isn't where you start—it's whether you're coachable, willing to practice, and committed to learning a skill properly. If you can hold a conversation, you can learn conversational hypnosis.
Absolutely not. In fact, life experience is an asset in this field. Clients trust practitioners who've lived, struggled, and understand what it's like to face real challenges. Many of our most successful members started in their 40s, 50s, and 60s.
That depends on you—but most people feel confident enough to take on their first client within 3–6 months of consistent practice. Some faster, some slower. The Academy gives you the training, community support, and practice tools to get there at your own pace.
You can—but you probably shouldn't right away. Most new practitioners start around $100–$150 per session and raise rates as they gain experience and confidence. Within 6–12 months, $200+ per session is completely realistic if you're getting results.
*Income claims represent potential earnings for experienced practitioners with established practices. Results vary and are not guaranteed.
Not at all. Many members keep their day jobs while building a hypnosis practice on nights and weekends. You can start part-time and transition to full-time once you're ready—or keep it as a high-income side practice. Totally up to you.
Then you're out $1. That's the whole point of the trial—to let you test-drive the training with zero risk. If it's not a fit, cancel within 7 days and walk away. No hard feelings.
No. The Academy includes structured training modules, live Q&A calls with Mike, a private community of practitioners, and ongoing updates. It's designed to keep you engaged, supported, and moving forward—not drowning in content you'll never use.
Two things. First, your membership continues at $49/month (unless you cancel). Second, you unlock our entire vault of advanced courses—over $4,000 worth of training, all included.

One Last Thing
Most people spend years thinking about a career change.
They research. They plan. They wait for the "perfect" moment.
And then one day they wake up and realize they wasted years of their life waiting for permission to start.
You don't need permission. You need a decision.
For $1, you can find out if professional hypnosis is that decision.
Worst case? You're out a dollar and you know it's not for you.
Best case? A year from now you're working with clients, charging premium rates, and wondering why you didn't start sooner.
The only question left is: What's your next move?
