Alison Sherwood, Board-Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist
Helping Women Come Home to Themselves
Certified Master Transformational Coach
I’m Alison Sherwood, CMS-CHt FIBH, a board-certified Clinical, Medical Support Hypnotherapist, Master Reiki Practitioner, and Certified Master Transformational Coach, and I’ve spent the last decade helping women come home to themselves.
My Journey
For years, I had the honor of guiding women through their own transformations. I built a business I loved, studied many modalities, including coaching, NLP, Reiki, and Akashic Records, and gave my whole heart to every woman I worked with.
Then life brought me surprises I never expected.
Everything shifted when we lost our home in the Eaton Wildfire. And just as we were rebuilding our lives, I lost my mom.
The grief was immense. The loss was real. It was the hardest thing I had ever faced in my life, but it allowed me to go even deeper into myself.
The coaching, the energy work, and the practices I’d taught others had served me and my clients well, and I felt called to go further. I became curious about the subconscious mind, where our oldest stories and beliefs first take root. That’s when I decided to deepen my training in clinical hypnotherapy at the Hypnotherapy Academy of America, a state-licensed school.
The Breakthrough
As a graduate of the Hypnotherapy Academy of America, I am trained in Integral Hypnotherapy®, one of the oldest state-licensed programs for clinical hypnotherapy training in America. I completed a rigorous program of 500 hours of live training, supervised practice, and clinical skills training. It is an adaptive, client-centered, and collaborative methodology that was scientifically validated through the largest U.S. peer-reviewed study of hypnotherapy, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Through this, I discovered that the real power wasn’t in controlling my journey. It was in accessing the subconscious mind, where the deepest shifts happen. Where old patterns can gently change. Where we finally come home to ourselves.

What I Do Now
I combine everything I’ve learned, 27 years as a working artist, my training as a Master Reiki Practitioner, my certification as a Transformational Coach, and now my board-certified clinical hypnotherapy training into integrated, personalized sessions that work with your whole being.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. Each woman’s story is different. Her path deserves to be honored as such.
Why I Do This Work
I’ve lived the deepest loss. I’ve walked through it. And I’ve come out the other side not just surviving, but truly free.
That’s what I’m honored to guide you toward: the journey from carrying it all to feeling at home. From surviving to thriving.
Because you deserve to feel at home in your body. You deserve to trust yourself. You deserve peace.
Let’s create it together.
How We Work Together
Each session is shaped around you, from our first conversation to the last. Together we create a hypnosis experience that meets you where you are and moves toward where you want to be. You also learn self-hypnosis, so the work keeps going between sessions and becomes a tool you can use in every area of your life. After each session, you receive a personal hypnosis recording made just for you, to help you carry what you’ve experienced into your days
