PAEDIATRIC HYPNOSIS:
2023 - NPHTI (FINALLY) COMES TO AUSTRALIA

NEW WORKSHOP DATES

SPANZA are delighted to now announce re-scheduled dates for NPHTI to visit Australia to deliver their Paediatric Hypnosis workshops.  This was originally planned for March 2020, but as you will be aware, the world shut down at that time.  SPANZA have been working with NPHTI since that time and are excited to announce confirmed dates for 2023.


Who is NPHTI?

NPHTI is the National Paediatric Hypnosis Training Institute, the premier paediatric hypnosis training organisation in North America.  It is a non-profit organisation with a vision that children will develop skills to regulate and control their emotions, behaviour and mind-body reactions, and be confident in their capabilities.

NPHTI's mission is to be an educational and communication resource for health professionals and parents regarding therapeutic hypnosis to maximise the overall well-being of children and teens.

NPHTI is the premier resource for:
-  the latest information in the field of paediatric clinical hypnosis for licensed professionals, patients, and families
-  a social media hub for consultation, discussion, and exchange of ideas among clinicians who have trained with us
-  a resource for the public to learn about paediatric clinical hypnosis

The courses being held in 2023 are the first time these will be run in Australia.
