Train at the level where patterns actually live.
The Subconscious Shift Method™ is a complete clinical architecture for subconscious change — taught through a four-level, NBCC-approved certification path for therapists, coaches, and helping professionals.
Or see Level 1 details →Beyond insight alone.
You already know how to help clients understand their patterns. Understanding, on its own, rarely changes them.
The Subconscious Shift Method™ trains you to work beneath the story — a repeatable, trauma-informed session architecture that moves clients from insight to actual subconscious change. Clinical enough for licensed professionals. Deep enough for the work you feel called to do.

What graduates say
My training at the Boulder Hypnotherapy Institute has been truly exceptional and deeply transformative. The level of expertise offered through their programs is top-notch, grounded in an ethical, trauma-informed approach that prioritizes both client safety and profound healing. What stood out most was how immediately applicable the teachings were—I was able to begin facilitating deeply healing sessions right after each training weekend, which speaks to the clarity, structure, and integrity of the curriculum. I highly recommend this training to anyone seeking to develop their skills in hypnotherapy with depth, integrity, and heart.
Kelly's trainings are absolutely transformational. Every program and group I've attended through the Boulder Hypnotherapy Institute has supported profound personal and professional growth. Kelly brings wisdom, clarity, and a deeply compassionate presence to all she offers. I wholeheartedly recommend any of her trainings to anyone who feels called to deepen their healing journey, awaken their inner wisdom, and align with their highest potential.
Before the training I wasn't sure about the range of services I could offer a client, or the impact hypnosis has on changing people's lives. Kelly's teaching made me a better practitioner by teaching me to slow down and really listen. Now I use hypnosis to complement my consulting practice, offering sessions that create awakenings or clearing for people, from past lives to unwanted behaviors to spiritual cleansing. As the saying goes, 'just do it.' You can change your own life while being of life-changing service to others. BHI offers a broad range of classes; decide to take them all, like I did. The content is fabulous and the teachers and instructional approach are best-in-class.
Credibility you can build a practice on.
Founded by a clinician. Delivered by an institute.
Boulder Hypnotherapy Institute was founded by Kelly Bearer, MA, LPC — a Licensed Professional Counselor (Colorado) and Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapist and clinical hypnotherapist who built the Subconscious Shift Method™ to close the gap between talk therapy and true subconscious change.
Today the method is taught by BHI Certified Faculty, held to a single standard of clinical rigor and transformational depth — so every cohort, every certificate, and every graduate carries the same signature of quality.
