Caitlin McLeod CERTIFIED CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPIST (831) 425-7072 (or 425-3328) My work as a healing arts practitioner began about 25 years ago, although it is rooted in childhood and beyond. At first I imagined that I would follow the family tradition of my favorite uncle and my maternal grandfather–and many other (mostly male) relatives before them–and study to be a surgeon. However, the challenges of chemistry and physics and maths soon put paid to that idea, and I was happy later to study alternative healing modalities. Initially I was drawn to massage therapy, which I began studying and practicing in the early 1980s. At that time I also developed an interest in herbology and aromatherapy, which I explored through the texts of Michael Tierra, Jethro Kloss, Robert Tisserand, and later those of Valerie Gennari Cooksley and D. Gary Young. I received my massage therapy liscense in Phoenix, AZ in 1993, while I continued my studies in Neuromuscular Therapy. I first heard about Alchemical Hypnotherapy in the early 1990s; I was finally able to enroll in the 150 hour program with the Alchemy Institute of Healing Arts in 1999. It was one of the most awesome and challenging experiences of my life, probably the most intense experience I'd had since my birth! David Quigley and his fomer wife Glenna Quigley were powerful and inspiring teachers, and my life was changed dramatically in those 3 short weeks. Time and life's challenges took me away from a hypnotherapy practice, so in 2004, after several of my own hypnotherapy sessions with David Quigley, I decided to take the training over again, and really step into my power as a healer. I began auditing a weekend training with David Quigley in October of that year, and graduated in January of 2005. I also took several more advanced classes in March, giving me a 200 hour Professional Hypnotherapist certification. In August I did a two week Student Assistant Program, and as of December 2005 I am a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, with 400 hours total. I also hold a certificate in Somatic Healing, which uses a combination of touch and hypnotic trance to access the body's own natural healing abilities. In 1997 I was introduced to the delightful world of aromatherapy through Young Living Essential Oils. I began using essential oils for my own healing and fragant benefits, and when I first took the Alchemy training, I saw that aromatherapy would blend beautifully with the healing powers of Alchemy. In July 2005 I completed a 340-hour certification program in aromatherapy with the Australasian College in Oregon; I am also certificated in Raindrop Therapy Technique© and Vitaflex Technique by Young Living Essential Oils. I am now developing and pioneering a new, super–powerful, cutting–edge technology called Essential Alchemy, the synthesis of Essential Oils with Alchemy. It is really an awesome process, and I find both therapies are greatly enhanced when used together. I look forward to sharing this phenomonal new technology with the world!
