OUR TRAINING INTEGRATES THREE SEPARATE PRACTICES INTO A SINGLE SET OF SKILLS
THAT IMPROVES ANYONE'S ABILITY TO INCREASE THE COMFORT OF THOSE SUFFERING
Our Educators and Services are Certified by These Leaders in Community Wellness
The Power of Touch
Humans, like many species, have the innate ability to comfort those who are suffering through their touch.
Some people seem to have a natural talent for this, but everyone can improve their ability to relieve suffering through the training we provide.
My mission is to make this training available to those who need it the most.
How It Started
- In 2018, I attended a cultural humility workshop and tried cedar brushing, a type of Community Wellness Practices kept alive by Indigenous people.
- Cedar brushing made me feel better instantly, and the feeling lasted all day.
- Community Wellness Practices, while simple, can lead to profound changes.
Why It Works
- There are many theories on how touch works to heal.
- The important thing is that it does work.
Tau Co-op's Purpose is to:
- Create livelihood delivering Community Wellness Practices for today's healers and training for tomorrow's.
- Prioritize opportunities for Indigenous Healers to do this work.
- Build relationships of mutual respect and grow in ancestral inheritance.
- Teach the skills necessary to provide Community Wellness Practices to all Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in an equitable way.
Design Strategy for Teaching
- Use of knowledge that has been gifted to all people
- Use of Practices that are open to all.
- Connect each person's to their ancestral wisdom.
- Incorporate the best of current evidenced based practices
- After years of study, I blended traditional healing touch practices with current knowledge of physiology and neurology.
- I trained in Hypnotherapy, Reiki, and Counseling to create a short, effective therapeutic technique.
Reiki Practice is Part A
- Reiki is a healing touch technique created by Mikao Usui.
- I have trained in Western and Japanese Reiki
- Both my teachers taught traditional hands-on Reiki, which is the basis of my practice
- To this I incorporated techniques to leverage natural trance
- Our 10-minute Reiki Reviver makes people feel much better quickly
- The Reiki Reviver can be scaled to group and public events.
Hypnosis is Part B
- Hypnosis is a set of skills, learned through practice, to manage trance
- Direct teaching and extended practice time important to best learning
- Connecting to Association training resources important to best practice
- IMDHA Certification is available to students who complete the training
Counseling is Part C
- Carl Rogers taught us the lesson that whatever we think important in our techniques to help others in distress, what is more important is why they asked for our help.

30 Hypnotherapists Walk into a bar...
A quick jargon check due to the fact 30 hypnotherapists will give you 30 definitions of what we do.
For me and my students, trance is a natural condition everyone experiences, hypnosis is a set of principle-based skills to manage trance, and when we do that for the benefit of others, it is hypnotherapy.
Our school is certified by the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapist Association, and our students who complete the full training become certified hypnotherapists.
Learn the best parts of Elman and Erickson hypnosis techniques
In the 1960's, before the world of big pharma and a pill for everything, front line medical practitioners had to learn and maintain a wider palette of palliative skills. Many incorporated hypnosis into that mix. The premier medical hypnosis trainer of the day was Dave Elman.
Dave Elman taught on the premise that the 'doctor' only had a little time for each person, so his training was primarily based on rapid induction techniques to create somnambulistic trance. Pain management was effectively treated this way.
As the healthcare system became centered on drug-based palliative care, these skills became less important to doctors and nurses and the art was lost.
Meanwhile, their children became fascinated with inner exploration, and as the 60's became the 70's, Hypnosis found a new nexus, one that developed a different part of this amazing skill and art of using the power of suggestion.
