2026 Update: The original course was updated and expanded as “Hypnosis for Sex Problems” at IHTC
Coming across these early reviews now–which I’d frankly forgotten–I am gratified by the comments of two extremely accomplished hypnotists, Richard Nongard and Michael Ellner, and proud of the work I’ve done since to make my current Hypnosis for Sex Problems (HSP) course the very best it can be. HSP is based on that first course of mine–Intimate Hypnosis: Sexological Hypnosis Skills, which I taught as an elective certificate course at the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco, CA.
Later, I revised and expanded the scope of that course, and began to teach it through my Intimate Hypnosis Training Center (IHTC). I make revisions and updates every year or two, to try to stay on top of both sexological and hypnotic research and trends.
The early reviews
After reviewing the syllabus, here’s what two top hypnotists are saying about the Intimate Hypnosis-Sexological Hypnosis Skills certificate course which I am currently teaching as a distance-learning program through the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality:
“The Intimate Hypnosis training couse offered by Amy Marsh, EdD, DHS, ACS, CH is a comprehensive, well-organized and sexy program that will benefit a wide range of licensed and non-licensed helping professionals and the people they are helping. I highly recommend it! “
—Michael Ellner, Diplomate – International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association. Author of Bedside Manners: A Pain Clinicians’ Guide to Effective Medical Communication and co-author of the Quantum Focusing guided self-help e-book series.
“I thought the course was well thought out, well planned, and comprised of valueable modules and learning perspectives. As an LMFT I can assure any professional, sex and sexual understanding is a major part of many other contributing presenting problems, and a comprehensive course like this would be valuable to anyone.”
—Richard Nongard, LMFT, CCH, Award-winning NLP and hypnosis trainer. Author of Magic Words in Hypnosis – The Sourcebook of Hypnosis Patter and Scripts and How to Overcome Hypnotic Difficulties and Medical Meditation – How to Reduce Pain, Decrease Complications, and Recover Faster from Surgery, Illness and Disease.
I am grateful to both for taking time from their busy schedules to review the syllabus! Thank you, Michael Ellner and Richard Nongard!
