About The Instructor

Hi! My name is Celeste Hackett, and I’m a Board Certified Hypnotist (BCH) with the National Guild of Hypnotists, one of the oldest and largest hypnosis organizations in the world. I’m also a Certified Professional Hypnosis Instructor (CPHI).  I started out my professional life as a radio announcer (Celeste Matthews), but later became a hypnotist after feeling a growing desire to do something to help ease the pain of humanity. In other words, I wanted to help people.  

Once I became a hypnotist, I wasn’t getting the kind of results I wanted, so I began an in-depth search to look for the best advanced training I could find. And, after extensive reading, I became enthralled with the method of 5-PATH® and 7th Path^TM. These teachings helped me to finally have a successful hypnosis business (after 3 failed attempts), and also to have the kind of wonderful successful outcomes with clients that Ihad dreamed of. 

Currently, as of this writing, I see up to 20 clients a week at my home office in Plano, Texas (just north of Dallas). My business, Family First Hypnosis, is in its fourth year of life and is prospering nicely. Some of my accomplishments in the world of hypnotism are as follows:

• ARTICLES: I enthusiastically write about my journey growing my business.  If you wonder about what it takes and what it costs to be a hypnotist, you’ll love my articles, The Frugal but Professional Practice. 
  
  
• HYPNOSIS STUDY GROUP: I founded the first online interactive study group for 5-PATH® hypnotists who wanted on-going support and encouragement. I am very willing to share information on how to start your own hypnosis study group. You just may make life-long hypno-friends this way. I did!
  
  
• WEB TV SHOW: I co-hosted a weekly video/audio WebTV show with Calvin Banyan called “Cal Banyan’s Hypnosis Etc” with Celeste Hackett. These shows are still available on-line and offer absolutely free advanced training. We have viewers all over the world!  Among others in the series, I think you’ll love 10 Keys to starting a professional practice on a shoestring.
  
  
• STATE SCHOOL FOR HYPNOTISTS:  I started the only state licensed hypnosis school in Dallas, Texas, Dallas Hypnosis Career Training.  Getting any sort of career school licensing in Texas is a grueling process. I don’t think I’d do it again, if I had it to do over!
  
  
• MAYORAL PROCLOMATION: I garnered city approval from the Mayor of the city of Plano, Texas (a suburb of Dallas) for a proclamation marking January 4th as World Hypnotism day. The proclamation is on the wall in my hypnosis office! Check out www.worldhypnotismday.com for more information on how to get a proclamation in your town.
  
  
• FEATURED ON THE RADIO: I’ve been featured on the nationally syndicated radio morning show “Kidd Kraddick in the Morning” where I hypnotized about 50 people for weight loss! You can actually listen to sound bites from the show here: http://www.familyfirsthypnosis.com/as-heard-on-the-kidd-kraddick-show
  
  
• FEATURED IN PRINT: I’ve also been featured in Dallas Child Magazine and in on-line articles and even a hypnosis book.
