Doug West, CH.t.

Doug's interest in hypnosis began when, as a ten year old, he discovered a book on hypnosis. From that day on he has been constantly studying hypnosis and attending stage hypnosis shows. He began to use self-hypnosis twenty seven years ago to increase his concentration and retain a relaxed and calm attitude.

Doug has been a practitioner of martial arts for over twenty five years. Hypnosis has helped him focus, and train to his potential. In June 1993 he attained the rank of Master in Kung Fu San Soo, the ancient art of self-defense.

Doug has worked in the corporate environment for over 25 years as a computer programmer/analyst, his interest in hypnosis overtook his love of programming and he decided to change careers and become a full time performer and hypnotherapist.

He is a Certified Stage Hypnotist and has been performing hilarious, laugh filled shows across the country. Doug is also an Advanced Certified Hypnotherapist specializing in Sports Hypnosis. He helps frustrated golfers and other athletes who want to improve their game by working with them to become more consistent, focused and relaxed while playing.

Doug has presented numerous speeches at various organizations. He was the featured speaker for the Relational Business Network group and explained to the group how they could improve their business and personal relationships by instantly building rapport with every person that they meet. His presentation of "Golfnosis" continues to entertain and inform the audience of golfers who want to improve their game using hypnosis. The audience was both amazed and educated when they attended his "Instant and Rapid Hypnotic Inductions" seminar in May 2005.

He is a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists, The Society of Applied Hypnosis, The International Association of Clinical Hypnotherapy and is one of the longest standing members in the Los Angeles Chapter of the Somnambulistic Sleepwalkers. He received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science from California Polytechnic University, Pomona in June 1978.

Doug possesses that rare talent seldom found in today's hypnotic performers, he keeps the audience laughing non-stop while making sure that his volunteers are not being embarrassed. The volunteers at his show don't regret a single thing that they have done during the performance. In fact many volunteers are proud yet amazed when their friends tell them how funny and entertaining they were. Doug says that "When everybody is having fun and laughing - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!"
