I'm a Board Certified Hypnotist (BCH) and Certified Instructor of Hypnosis (CI) through the National Guild of Hypnotists, the oldest and largest hypnosis organization in the world. I've been a professional hypnotist for over 11 years. Having grown up in Central Virginia, my educational background includes a Bachelors of Business Administration from Radford University.
Irit is amazing! She changed my life. Hypnosis was a quick, effective solution to something which had been holding me back in my life. After working with Irit I began to see things differently and as a result, my behavior and attitude changed. After years of wondering "what was wrong with me", I finally realized at a deep inner level all the amazing things that were so right!

I had the most wonderful experience with Irit. She is sincere, honest and caring. She went beyond just addressing the issue that I wanted help with, and helped take care of the root cause. She actively followed up to make sure I'm feeling well, and offered to be accessible at any time in case I don't. I have never had any therapist offer that to me.

I could totally trust her and be who I am with her with my vulnerabilities. She empowered me, and showed me the path to be the best version of me. I'm so grateful that I had opportunity to get help from Irit, and I highly recommend her to anyone that needs help.

Absolutely best experience I've had with a therapist. Irit was so attentive to my needs. By my second session I was challenging false limiting beliefs about myself and tapping into a more positive way of thinking. I would feel so recharged after each session with Irit. I believed I was talking to someone who was genuinely on my side and wanted to see me win.

In just three sessions I was able to identify problems that I didn't know was holding me back. I started becoming a person that took action. Irit would remind me that in order for this process to be effective I would have to do the work and so I did. I am so grateful to her and my experience!

Ms. Irit helped me pass the Bar Exam on the first try. I was having trouble focusing and dealing with grief due to the loss of a family member. My sessions helped me to focus on my studies and she also gave me techniques that helped me remain centered and calm during my virtual exam, despite some disruptive technical problems. I also really loved meeting her and talking to her--she has an amazing energy. The cost of my hypnotism sessions was very reasonable in light of the high costs of bar prep and exam fees because I didn't have to do it twice!

Irit is LIFE CHANGING via zoom AND over the telephone. My initial conversation via the phone was just an inquiry. She provided me calmness over the phone in just TEN minutes and I KNEW at that moment I needed her to work with me. I was eagerly anticipating what THREE sessions would do for me. Her work is impeccable and completely therapeutic. I am eternally grateful & I love her work. Highly recommend &Thank you so very much.

I've worked with a number of experienced hypnotists before, but Irit is truly an outstanding expert and professional at what she does! If you're looking to see real, long-lasting results from one fo the top hypnotists in the world, look no further. Unfortunately with covid we had to move our sessions online using zoom, I was worried at first that it wouldn't be as good, but Irit still delivers excellent therapy.

The deep level that she gets to understand you and your challenges in life transcends the physical world and she truly shows in how much she cares about her clients. Schedule a zoom session today and you won't be disappointed!

Irit is a grounded mystic. You can tell she is truly passionate about the work that she does in the world, helping each person on their evolution. She is warm. And she is intelligent (beyond the mind) and TALENTED. I have experienced other hypnotherapy and coaching sessions, but it is easy for me to drop into the hypnosis state with Irit in moments.

My first session helped me heal the stabbing pain I felt any time I thought about a "mistake" I had made years ago. And in my second session I learned a life changing insight about my history buried deep in my subconscious. It has been hard to find such practitioner in the DMV area, glad I did! A treasure.

Her passion and caring come through so strongly in her sessions. I know it sounds extreme, but in the last 2 weeks working with her I have uncovered more about myself, habits, and behaviors then I have with twenty years of off and on talk therapy. These insights have been invaluable for making changes in my life that will be lasting. I highly, highly recommend trying her, especially if other treatments only seem to work for a little while (or not at all).

Irit is amazing. I booked a hypnosis session with her as a birthday gift for myself. She wowed me with her professionalism, wisdom, and passion. That experience opened the door to a new world for me, and showed me the countless possibilities of my current life. Recently, I also had a talk session with her, where we covered lots of topics in my life. Through our conversation, she was able to help me free my mind, and be proactive in accepting life's challenges. I highly recommend Irit!

Being in the programs and attending the classes continues to inspire me to move towards my goals and pursue my dreams. Irit and Taylor are both very talented and inspire me to do similar work with my clients and continue to further my training and education in NLP and hypnosis.

I absolutely love Irit and Taylor. They are both genuine, knowledgeable, and care deeply about their work. I took both the Hypnosis and NLP certification classes and they were game-changing on a personal level as well in my marketing career. I highly recommend the certificate training the center offers. Whether your calling is hypnosis or not, you'll be glad you did it. That's me, the excited one in the back of the certificate picture.

I was diagnosed with a serious disease and wanted to get to the root of the mental and emotional baggage. Working with Irit resulted in some major breakthroughs that have completely changed my state of mind and level of happiness. I would highly recommend her - she’s extraordinary!!!
Mary Beth Abruzzo
The hypnosis class was amazing! The enthusiasm and passion that the information was presented with was very motivating and inspiring. The encouragement and guidance that they gave was invaluable. While teaching hypnosis, they show a new way to listen to others as well as yourself. This is actually an education that I have been using on a daily basis with almost every interaction that I have had since our last class, and for that I am so appreciative a grateful!
