You have a wonderful course. I was looking for a certification course that was more than the weekend workshops I have heard about. I was thrilled to have found yours.

In the medical field few of my colleagues receive such well-organized and comprehensive training in the field of hypnotherapy medical doctors and psychologists would be well served by the certification offered by Orca.

While the prospect of learning a new skill can be daunting, Sheldon makes the process easy to understand and taught in a way that is easy to retain. I wouldn't hesitate to refer prospective students to The Orca Institute.
Byron Miki, HT, orca student, 2005
Sheldon has a wealth of knowledge and cares deeply for his students. His greatest quality as a therapist is his ability to be fully present with his client, allowing his own creativity to complement his client search for solutions.

I took the course in 2009 and found it to be extremely valuable to what I was looking for. I truly appreciated the information that I receive from Sheldon. The director when I first called.

Message from the Director of The Orca Institute

As the director and founder of Canada’s most enduring, and only PCTIA (BC Gov. Agency) Accredited hypnotherapy school I welcome you to The Orca Institute’s web site. Established in 1986 our school's program was conceived and developed in response to the desire of many practitioners to achieve a high standard of hypnotherapy practice. We offer Certificate and Diploma programs which are structured to accommodate our student’s busy schedules and lifestyles. Our courses are ongoing so can be started at any time.

Unique to our hypnotherapy Certification and Diploma programs, is the strong integration of Counselling and Ericksonian Skills. At the Orca Institute our intent is to bring students from a basic level of “just starting to get comfortable” with hypnosis to becoming confident, highly skilled, professional, "Counselling Hypnotherapists".

Our teachers have been chosen for their extensive knowledge, experience and for their ability to respond to the needs of every student while acknowledging that everyone learns differently. In addition to covering the works and methods of Milton Erickson, M.D., Stephen Gilligan, PhD. Serge King, PhD and others our training uniquely includes my own innovative approaches developed over 30 years. I invite you to learn more about this fascinating subject by exploring our web site and allowing me to share with you what The Orca Institute has to offer. Feel free to contact me toll-free in North America at 800-665-ORCA (6722). I always enjoy talking to prospective students.
