What the training covers

The cancer and pain management lectures

Rick's lecture series on mind-body healing, covering how hypnosis is used alongside medical treatment for people living with cancer and with ongoing pain.

Mesmerism for pain management

The mesmerism for pain management sessions, which apply the non-verbal work to pain specifically rather than to the general case.

The training manual

The written training manual is included, in eBook format, and stays available in the portal after you finish.

Where it sits

It is a specialist training for hypnotherapy practitioners who desire to increase their skills and offer an extra specialist service in their practice. It is suitable for practitioners with hypnosis knowledge and who are already proficient in hypnosis. There are no accolades issued.

What this training does not claim

This training technique is for practitioners and advanced hypnosis students. It is not a standalone or alternative cancer treatment and should never be offered as one.

The Academy's position is that just because a subject may feel better, it by no means suggests they are cured. Hypnosis protocols should only be used in addition to conventional medical care, never in place of it.

Any hypnosis work with a person under conventional medical treatment should be considered only as an adjunct to present medical therapies and the overseeing medical team should be informed.

Rick Collingwood conducted this very successful quality of life trial in Perth in 2005 with pharmacist Nathan Elliott. The full report and results are published on this site. You can read the methodology and the results yourself.

Google reviews

These Google reviews were submitted by students who trained directly with Rick Collingwood, and were written while he owned and was head trainer of The Australian Academy of Hypnosis, which he founded in 1995 and owned until March 2023. Some of the reviews name the Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses of that time, which the present trainings have now replaced.

I had previously learnt hypnosis before I attended Rick’s collingwood’s course, and I must say I love the way he keeps the course simple & straight to the point. Hypnosis is simple steps you must follow to induce hypnotism within your client, some people get lost in all the airy fairy stuff surrounding it but when you bring it back down to the Nitty Gritty it’s those basic fundamentals that Rick Collingwood teachers which is paramount to the learning and basic understanding of hypnosis and how to induce hypnotism...

Rick’s course is a must for all Humanity to learn what were capable of...

Mesmerist

Not like any other hypnotherapy training. If you want to learn the old ways Rick is the way to go. Rick is a wealth of knowledge, integrity and honesty. Loved my training so much would do it ten times over.
