You’re putting in real effort, yet client outcomes don’t feel as consistent or lasting as they should
Marketing efforts consume attention without producing a steady stream of aligned, cash-pay clients
Your pricing no longer reflects the depth of work you’re capable of delivering
You are experiencing burnout from working within a system that feels misaligned
Insurance requirements, paperwork, or volume-based models are limiting your time and energy
You rely heavily on your current client base and want a clearer path to growth without overextending yourself
If these challenges feel familiar, it may be a signal that your skill has outgrown the structure you’re currently working within.
The One Belief Away Hypnotist Certification is a three-month professional training conducted under the direct supervision of lead OBA trainer and celebrity hypnotist Tim Shurr. It is designed for practitioners who want to work at the level where change actually holds.
Rather than relying on surface techniques or extended talk-based approaches, this method trains you to identify and update the core belief patterns that shape behavior, emotional responses, and self-regulation beneath conscious effort. When that belief changes, your clients often experience meaningful shifts, being able to shed insecurities, dissolve anxiety, and replace limitations with unshakable self-belief. All of this happens because the source of the pattern is being addressed directly.
This certification is designed to deepen both client impact and professional identity. Alongside mastering the OBA Method, you’re trained to position your work clearly, and move towards a sustainable, cash-pay model aligned with the depth of results you’re capable of delivering.
This certification is a supervised, skill-building process. For practitioners who complete it, the outcome is not just better tools, but a higher operating standard for how transformation work is done.
You will graduate feeling confident and secure in your abilities to help even the most resistant clients experience a breakthrough. Many low-budget Hypnosis Certification programs provide outdated manuals, scripts, and guidance, so you feel left to figure everything out on your own after the training. We will be there for you before, during, and after your OBA Certification providing guidance, direction, and support.
Skill development requires supervision. Throughout the certification, you receive direct feedback as you refine your technique. This level of guidance is rare in the field — and essential for becoming consistently effective rather than theoretically trained.
Each student and client has individual needs and a one-size-fits-all approach does not produce optimal results. Thus, instead of memorizing and becoming dependent on a dozen hypnosis scripts, you will learn how to customize your approach based upon the needs of the person in front of you. That is also how we train our OBA Hypnotists.
The training is designed to integrate into the work you already do. Rather than asking you to rebuild your identity or abandon your current approach, the method is layered into your existing professional context so it can be used immediately and responsibly.
The One Belief Away Hypnosis Method is recognized and supported by individuals whose work has shaped modern personal development, human potential, and mind-body healing. Here’s what they have to say about this program:
The training is designed for practitioners who want to refine how they work, and not simply add another credential to their list of achievements. For that reason, admission is selective and based on readiness, experience, and alignment with the method.
This ensures the integrity of the work, and a shared professional standard among those certified. If you’d like to explore certification further, you can review the full OBA Hypnotist curriculum below.
This certification is a supervised, skill-building process. For practitioners who complete it, the outcome is not just better tools, but a higher operating standard for how transformation work is done.
The OBA Method trains you to identify and work with the core belief patterns driving a client’s challenges. Rather than managing surface behaviors over time, you learn how to address the source of hesitation, emotional reactivity, or self-sabotage. Many practitioners report clearer movement early in the client relationship because the work is focused at the belief level from the outset.
This certification includes practical guidance beyond session work. You’ll receive structured support around positioning, pricing, ethical marketing, and client conversion, so your business model grows in step with your skill level, rather than lagging behind it.
As your effectiveness becomes more consistent, your practice no longer depends on volume. Certified OBA Hypnotists are able to move towards more premium, value-aligned work that reflects the depth of their results, supporting income growth without overextension or burnout.
As you apply the method, many practitioners notice increased clarity, confidence, and self-trust in their own decision-making. This internal steadiness tends to carry into client work, boundaries, and long-term professional direction.
The combination of methodological precision and business clarity allows you to work with fewer clients, at a higher standard, with greater consistency, without relying on intensity, overextension, or constant reinvention.
The certification is accessed through a structured admission process designed to ensure fit, readiness, and alignment.
You begin with a private entrance call designed to understand your background, current practice, and what you’re looking to refine or expand.
You’ll complete a short practice audit and review a brief orientation video. This helps clarify where you are now, how the method would integrate into your work, and whether the training aligns with your goals.
If the program is a fit on both sides, you’ll receive an invitation to enroll and select your start date. Training runs on a rolling basis, allowing qualified practitioners to begin without long delays.
Admission is selective. The certification is designed for professionals who already work with clients and are committed to depth, precision, and ethical results, rather than experimentation or casual interest.
"I stopped smoking after 55 years at Indy Hypnosis. No more patches, pills, or nagging cravings. It's been six years since my first session and I'm very glad I did this."
I struggled with picky eating and swallowing pills my whole. After working with Tim, my fears disappeared and I also lost 70 LBS. He changed my life!
After hearing Tim speak at our company sales rally, I hired him to coach me. During the first 12 weeks, my production increased by 500%! Most importantly, I have changed as a person.
"I lost 144 LBS in 10 months at Indy Hypnosis. I stopped dieting and eliminated the beliefs that were holding me back. You can do it too!"

Founder of the One Belief Away Method & Lead OBA Trainer
Tim is a multi-award-winning hypnotist, author, and trainer with over three decades of experience in belief-level behavioral change. He is the creator of the proprietary One Belief Away Hypnosis Method, designed to address change at the point where patterns stabilize or dissolve.
American Board of Hypnotherapy
“As hypnotism is becoming a more socially credible and recognized profession each day, Tim Shurr is on the leading edge of this movement. He is an insightful and intuitive instructor that is known for his ability to bring the finest qualities out in every student he teaches. Mr. Shurr’s students will receive an outstanding education and will be learning from a true master of the art and science of hypnotism.”
The National Guild of Hypnotists
“The National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) is certainly very pleased. It has been a number of years since we have had this type of quality training available. Tim Shurr’s experience in the field and his ability to develop rapport will enable him to graduate knowledgeable and effective certified consulting hypnotists to better meet the needs of the public for quality hypnotism services.”
Many professionals feel a pull to do work that actually changes how people relate to themselves and their lives. The One Belief Away Hypnotist Certification exists for that reason.
As an OBA Hypnotist, you are trained to work at the level where patterns form and resolve, helping clients replace long-standing internal constraints with responses that support stability, confidence, and forward movement.
This work is increasingly needed. People are carrying more uncertainty, emotional overload, and unresolved internal conflict than ever before. Surface-level strategies and short-term motivation no longer hold. What’s required now are practitioners who can produce real shifts, calmly, ethically, and reliably.
This certification is to help you become someone known for depth, clarity, and results. Someone others trust when change actually matters.
If you feel ready to refine your expertise, expand your impact, and be recognized for the quality of your work rather than the volume of it, this may be the right next step.
The choice, as always, is yours.
Online OBA Hypnotist Certification is ongoing and new classes begin each month. Thus, you can get started immediately, which our highly motivated students greatly enjoy!
Traditional Hypnotism training provides a large variety of hypnosis theory and approaches, most of which are out-of-date or not practical in modern times. Depending on the school, additional training will be added or provided as an upsell like NLP (basic, master, train-the-trainer) or Board Certification (which means nothing to the general public). Sometimes, they provide a marketing plan or e-book, although what’s offered is basic and often ineffective and you’re left to figure it out all alone.
The OBA Hypnotist program focuses on equipping you with a deep understanding of human behavior and provides a set of tools and strategies that produce exceptional results, often within the first session. After providing over 16,000 individual sessions and hundreds of group experiences, the precise “success formulas” for getting clients amazing results were uncovered. You will learn those success formulas! We’ve removed the “fluff” and techniques that other training programs spend hundreds of hours teaching that you’ll never use or should NOT use based on today’s culture.
Rather than continually upselling you classes, we give you the BEST tools right away in one training. In addition, we will ensure YOU have an impactful experience that provides a “true-believer” story you can share with others.
Also, we include the best Business Growth and Marketing practices in the industry. Tim Shurr has sold millions of dollars of Hypnosis services and operated a six-figure coaching practice for 20 years straight. He will personally mentor you, so you can enjoy all the benefits of being an extraordinary personal transformation expert!
Finally, we do NOT offer a “Become A Hypnosis Trainer” program at the end of your training. It’s unethical that other hypnosis schools upsell a cheap “Become A Hypnosis School Owner” training to people who’ve never run a practice or even worked with paying hypnotherapy clients before. It lowers the quality of our profession and should not be promoted.
(*Tim Shurr shared his opinions on how cheap hypnotherapist certifications are lowering the quality and perceived value of our profession to the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapists Association and was later honored with the President’s Award.)
You do not need previous training. However, we focus primarily on training seasoned personal development experts including Licensed Mental Health Counselors, Certified Life Coaches, and Certified Hypnotherapists. Although anyone can learn to use the One Belief Away Method, our goal is to train the most effective transformation experts on the planet. Thus, we only accept into our program those who’ve already attained a respectable level of success.
Absolutely! What you’ll learn is so effective, you may rarely use the other tools you’ve acquired. You’ll attain a new set of “power tools” that provide both you and your clients more satisfying outcomes. Plus, you’ll receive what is often the missing ingredient to the question of, “How do I produce faster results for my clients while increasing my income and time freedom?”
There are three payment plans available that you’ll find in our OBA Hypnotist Curriculum. Please scroll down to the end of this section and fill out the form to gain immediate access to our curriculum.

You get the empowering experience of a live training, while keeping your travel costs to zero utilizing Zoom virtual environments. Many OBA Hypnotists also provide telephone and zoom hypnosis sessions, and our training equips them to feel confident offering this approach.
Plus, offering virtual sessions opens you up to the entire world rather than only serving clients in a 30 mile radius of your office. In addition, it eliminates the need for office and overhead expenses.
Finally, many of our students live in other countries and would not have access to this training unless it was provided online. For those reasons, we have moved to the virtual classroom.
Yes, Hypnotherapists seeking to be the best in the world at what they do go through our program. It’s like being in the military and then enrolling in “special forces” training. We take skilled and committed professionals to the next level!
After coaching hundreds of Hypnotists, Tim found that many were missing the confidence, skill sets, or marketing systems necessary for running a highly lucrative practice. If you already have training, this will either take your skills to the next level or free you from bad habits you aren’t even aware of.
