Gerry Letendre
Hypnotherapist, RPh, MBA, CHt
Career challenges often involve more than resumes or job strategies—they frequently stem from confidence issues, decision fatigue, fear of change, or internal blocks around identity and purpose. Hypnosis can help address the underlying mental and emotional patterns that influence career satisfaction, performance, and direction.
My approach to career-focused hypnosis is individualized and practical. Drawing on decades of real-world business and healthcare experience, including leadership, entrepreneurship, and executive decision-making, I tailor each session to the client’s specific goals and circumstances. Sessions may focus on increasing confidence, improving focus, overcoming procrastination, managing work-related stress, or clarifying next steps during periods of transition.
Clients often seek hypnosis during career changes, retirement transitions, leadership challenges, or when they feel stuck or uncertain about their professional path. Hypnosis provides a structured, supportive way to explore values, strengthen motivation, and develop a clearer sense of direction while remaining grounded and in control throughout the process.
Hypnosis is offered as a complementary, drug-free approach and is not a replacement for career coaching, psychotherapy, or professional advising. When appropriate, it can be used alongside other supports to help clients move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
I help those who are stuck in a demoralizing, life-draining career and find clarity on what it is that is going to give you the most meaning in life. After this, we work together at mapping out a realistic strategy for getting you there. I use motivational coaching, inspirational feeling development, hypnosis, pineal gland breathwork, NLP, EMT, and additional modalities, as needed. Once we can define what it is we truly want out of life, what truly makes us happy, and then apply the realistic strategy, the path forward is revealed and there is no turning back. In some cases, trauma-clearing needs to happen in order to move forward, and in those cases, we would use a hypnotic regression back to the cause so we can clear the root cause and end the looping pattern. Each case is different but the majority of clients excel when they clear layers to arrive at the truth (dharma) and we then use a combination of visualizing that future, along with sustaining elevated emotions, until it becomes our reality.

Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Coaching clients to achieve career goals involves creating a structured partnership focused on self-discovery, strategic planning, and accountability. My key techniques include identifying your core strengths, clarifying values, mapping goals, and utilizing frameworks like GROW or OSKAR to create a roadmap for success. I establish a Focused Structure: what the client wants to achieve in the session. I help my clients uncover their "superpowers" and core values through exercises to ensure their career path aligns with who they are.I use Visual Tools: I utilize mind mapping to show how different life areas connect, helping clients identify gaps where progress has stalled. I help them set actionable goals. I help clients set specific, timed, and achievable goals, moving from long-term vision to short-term, actionable steps. I help them set clear deadlines for action items, and use gentle yet firm accountability check-ins to review progress and overcome roadblocks. I encourage clients to celebrate small successes along the way to build momentum, rather than only focusing on the final outcome.
Career coaching has been one of my fortes and my clients are now on the right track to achieve their career/professional goals. I have different packages for my clients.
