Our President, Josie Hadley, passed away on December 13, 2007, after undergoing cancer treatment for over 2 years.

Josie made a huge difference in the lives of thousands of people and in the the industry of Hypnotherapy. Her best-selling book, Hypnosis For Change published by New Harbinger Publications, was translated into 13 languages and is used around the world as a textbook in schools for hypnotherapy.

She founded the Palo Alto School of Hypnotherapy in 1979, where she become a community supporter, a teacher for hundreds of professional hypnotherapists over the years, and a model entrepreneur. The school has expanded staff and programs now to include medical hypnosis, classes in Spanish and Chinese, NLP and more. Her contributions to local community programs, and her pioneering public relations work, brought hypnotherapy into hospitals and medical centers all over Northern California, and have improved the stature and understanding of hypnosis in the medical community.
