About Claire de la Varre

I am a native of Edinburgh, in Scotland, and have lived in the U.S. for 24 years. I am currently writing my PhD dissertation in educational psychology, in the School of Education, at UNC-Chapel Hill. I am married to Rene, who is a writer, marathon runner and massage therapist. We have two teenagers and assorted cats.

I completed a training course and internship in clinical hypnosis in 2008 at Healthy Visions Wellness Center in Tennessee, with Ron Eslinger, RN, CRNA, APN, MA, BCH, CI, and became certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH).

The NGH, founded in Boston, MA in 1951, is a professional organization committed to advancing the field of hypnotism. The NGH is the largest and oldest such organization in the world. The NGH requires annual continuing education credits.

In March 2011 I became a Certified Instructor with the NGH and as such offer hypnosis training for individuals who wish to become NGH-certified.

In June 2010 I completed Year 1 of a 2-year course in Redecision Therapy and Transactional Analysis at the Southeast Institute for Group and Family Therapy, in Chapel Hill.

You can purchase hypnosis CDs from the online store. Tracks are also available as mp3s for download. I make personalized CDs for all my clients.
