TESTIMONIALS

“….Abhishek Sir has a unique, gentle, yet firm approach in his classes. What’s fascinating is the myriad of real-life examples he can supplement along with the lessons. Owing to over a decade’s worth of experience in hypnotherapy and past life regression therapy, he is never short of sharing the practical nitty-gritty of therapy.

5

What I particularly liked was his dedication towards each student’s learning. More often than not, we were given more than the scheduled time of the class to ensure we gauged the subject matter accurately.

His classes were a satisfying mix of theory, practicals, discussions and Q&A from the students. I loved how he was able to patiently deal with each student’s questions, which sometimes even veered off-topic yet linked them adroitly to the subject matter of hypnotherapy.

I have already started applying the tools of hypnotherapy in my practice to good effect. And even now, Mr. Abhishek Joshi is available for guidance and assistance in the topics learned in hypnotherapy. I’m glad I could study under his guidance and wholeheartedly recommend his classes and even his therapies to anyone who chooses to seek.”

– Kushagra Singh, Author

“The training program was truly a life-changing experience for me. The in-depth knowledge, hands-on practice, and expert guidance helped me build confidence as a therapist. I now feel fully equipped to support my clients effectively.

The trainers Abhishek Joshi and Priyanka Shukla were incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. They provided real-world examples and practical tools that I could immediately apply in my practice. 

Unlike other courses, this program was interactive and engaging, with plenty of opportunities for role-playing and feedback. It helped me refine my approach and deepen my understanding of different therapeutic techniques. I highly recommend this program to anyone serious about becoming a skilled Hypnotherapist..

I am always grateful for such deep knowledge sharing. Thank you, my mentors, Abhishek and Priyanka. You both have a very special place in my life.”

-Nira Patel, C.Ht, Psychologist, Ahmedabad

“The course was transformational. I learnt so much about myself as well as how and why we as humans behave the way we do. It’s been a journey into myself, and needless to say, I’ve changed quite a bit. I move forward in life with more clarity and love.

Kudos to the mentors Abhishek and Priyanka, who were there unconditionally to teach us and guide us as we navigate through this learning. They were very hands-on and showed us how to practically do sessions with real-time feedback.

For anyone who wants to help themselves and other people around them live a better life, I would highly recommend this course. Life just becomes more fulfilling!”

– Sandeep Sehgal, MBA, IT Professional

“Thank you for the amazing 3 days! Safe to call them life-changing”

-Sanya Tadani

“I underwent hypnotherapy sessions, including past life regression and subconscious mind dialoguing, with my current teachers, which provided profound insights and solutions. The acceptance of these solutions was high because they emerged from my own inner wisdom. This transformative experience inspired me to enrol in the Clinical Hypnotherapy course at Inner Journeys School of Soul Sciences. The curriculum, spread across five levels, was paced thoughtfully, emphasising experiential learning and real-time problem-solving. We had the flexibility to specialise in areas like inner child healing or subconscious mind dialoguing, with robust support from our teachers.

I’m deeply grateful to Abhishek and Priyanka, especially Abhishek, who was not only my teacher but also my hypnotherapist during a challenging phase. He introduced me to alternative healing, offering hope and faith when I felt vulnerable and alone. It’s rare to find mentors who uphold ethics and embody the true spirit of their work.

Transitioning from a corporate HR director to a wellness industry professional, I now focus on mental well-being. Clinical hypnotherapy has emerged as a valuable tool for healing, offering a ray of hope to take the next step. Embracing the principle of “staying in light,” I aspire to help others navigate their paths to wellness.”

– Sumathi Singh, MBA (IIT Kharagpur)

“I was a part of the Clinical Hypnotherapy training through Inner Journeys, and all I can say is that it was a life-changing experience for me. Not only did I learn a lot about human behaviour and mental health, but I also learnt how to effectively deal with day-to-day life issues and also help others to recover from some serious challenges in life.

My entire learning, life-changing experience and this amazing journey are all because of one man, Abhishek Joshi. Abhishek sir has been completely supportive, loving, caring and an incredible mentor. He is always willing to give his time to help clear our queries and also guides us in the right direction while enabling us to take all the actions for our clients.

During all the levels of training, he was an amazing facilitator. He was super patient and always respected the participants while keeping a focus on the learning/ topic at hand. I have 14 years of experience in the training field and have been a corporate trainer as well as have been the head of training in a few of the biggest MNCs in India. Hence, I can say with a lot of confidence that he is perhaps one of the best trainers in India at the moment for Clinical hypnotherapy.

I am utterly grateful to Abhishek sir for all the learning and never-ending support. 🙂 Thanks for everything you do for us.”

-Amandeep Sandhu, Psychologist
