Chris Sansone, PhD, CPCC
Past Life Regression Certification
"I highly recommend BHI's subtle energy course. The strategies taught have helped me to do a more consistent practice of grounding and protecting my own energy. This has allowed me to be more effective with my clients. BHI's teaching style is clear and straightforward, with a dash of humor. Learning is very easy! I am so grateful for the teachings I have received in this course!"
Tammy McCollam
Subtle Energy Course
"It was a pleasure to join this 'subtle energy' journey with BHI. I loved the practical tools that we learned which could be implemented right away, as well as the depth and variety covered in this course. BHI is a wonderful instructor, who puts so much love into the content and I would certainly recommend this course to others!"
Rachel Hipp
Subtle Energy Course
"Thank you BHI for such a beautiful class! This class has deepened my understanding of the chakra system and its developmental process, my awareness of my subtle body energy field and how to start working with clients on this level. Subtle energy gives you another playground of awareness when working with others and awareness of the self. It is definitely empowering as we are given a toolbox of self energy protocols to allow greater healing and awareness in our own bodies."
Marie Healy
Subtle Energy Course
"Subtle energy with BHI has been so enjoyable that I would take it again. BHI is energetic, dynamic and encouraging and finds ways to make the material even more interesting and fun than it already is. I have wanted to expand into this for a long time and easing into this with BHI has been a lot easier than it would have been in other ways. The class is comfortable and people seem comfortable speaking openly in a group setting on Zoom. BHI is a very effective large group leader and easy to be around."
Rebecca Levin
Subtle Energy Course
"The growth I've experienced through your classes — as a person and in my work — has been profound. Being part of the community your teaching attracts has been one of the most meaningful gifts of my professional life. I'll be keeping my heart and mind open to whatever trainings you offer in the future."
Julie A. Frank, LCSW, LAC

"Thank you for this wonderful tribute to us your students- you are such an amazing leader mentor and teacher. This experience over this last year has been transformational for me and I am forever grateful for you and the space you facilitated for growth reflection and healing so we could go into the world and pass the flame to others."
Lori Williams
Hypnotherapy Certification Training
"Choosing to do my training through BHI was the right choice for me. I resonated deeply with the material, the people, and the instructors. What I loved was that BHI is constantly changing up the material and upgrading it — that speaks to the integrity and focus on bringing the best to the profession. I didn't see that in the other programs I looked at."
