About

My name is Shari Hartz, MA, CHT. Back in the late 80s, my stepmother was struggling with cancer. I learned about an organization planning to open a clinic that used hypnosis to help people experiencing life-changing illnesses. I know watching her suffer made me wish I could do something to help. As a Psychology major, I was excited about the opportunities this could afford me. So I participated in the program, and although that cancer support program never came to fruition, attending that weekend program excited me to learn more.

I Started by attending my first real school (Denver School of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy) with over 500 hours of training in the early 90s. I realized that hypnosis is a powerful tool to change people’s lives positively, and I started working with clients part-time. Then, in the early 2000s, I attended the Day of Miracles School of Hypnotherapy as a teaching assistant. This exposed me to various tools I could add to my toolbox. Finally, in 2014, I attended the program at America’s Academy for Coaching, Counseling, and Hypnotherapy, where I am an instructor and on the board of directors – giving me over 2000 hours of training.

Being blessed to have completed my master’s degree in communication and a bachelor’s degree in psychology and communication from the University of Colorado at Denver, I gained a well-rounded view of how people are motivated and can effectively relate to themselves and others. Later I completed a bachelor’s degree in visual communication (graphic design).

Presently, I serve as an instructor and an educator. I have the excellent opportunity to teach Communication classes at Community College of Denver, Metro State University. As a teacher, trainer, and registered psychotherapist, I have the opportunity to help my clients feel empowered, and being exposed to a variety of different techniques has given me lots of tools in my toolbox.

The most effective approach is to work with each client individually and support them with their specific needs. Even when the Virtual Gastric Band (VGB) protocol for weight loss has a complete structure, even within that process, some portions are particular to each client.

This work helps people and can help clients make positive changes in their lives gently and subtly. I would be delighted to have the honor of supporting you in making those positive changes in your life.
