David J Zarza, Certified Hypnotherapist, Mind Coach and Intuitive Consultant

Began in California and is now in Washington State.  I managed a private practice in Los Angeles, California beginning in January 2004 where I enjoyed hundreds of hours of interaction with clients and colleagues in refining my skills as an adept Hypnotherapist.  In January 2006 I relocated to the Seattle, Washington area and opened my new practice in lovely Downtown Edmonds (just North of Seattle).

Education & Credentials
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
I graduated from the prominent University of California at Los Angeles in March of 2004 with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. During my time at UCLA, I studied material focused on behavior, motivation, psychopathology, sexuality, mental health, identity and various other topics with renowned professors and psychologists.

Hypnosis Motivation Institute (HMI)
The first accredited American institution of its kind, offering a comprehensive Hypnosis and Coaching training program.

    HMI was established in 1968 by renowned hypnotherapist, Dr. John Kappas.  Dr. Kappas developed an amazing curriculum involving Emotional & Physical Suggestibility and Sexuality, Imagery, Neuro Linguistic Programming, and some of the most innovative continuing education seminars.

Following the completion of the curriculum at HMI and subsequent graduation, I received my certification as a Hypnotherapist by the Hypnotherapists Union Local 472.

American Hypnosis Association
I am also a member in good standing with the American Hypnosis Association, fully insured and licensed for hypnotherapy work.

Coaching
I integrate Life Coaching techniques and processes into my hypnotherapy work to assist my clients in clarifying their goals and ensuring they achieve them.  Along the way we overcome fears, limiting beliefs, negative self talk and overcome the excuses that have hold you back in those repeating patterns.  

    One phrase has always described the mission I commit to for my clients, "Motivating & Inspiring My Clients to Create the Life They've Always Dreamed of!"

    So when you'd like to kick your life up to a new level, to no longer settle for the same, to build relationships that really light you up, and to orient your life in the direction you choose instead of reacting to what life seems to present you, then call me now.  We'll talk about your dreams, create the plan for them and easier than you may have expected, live those dreams!
