UTM SPACE认证专业应用催眠证书班获好评及新班开课通知

收到了一些UTM SPACE认证Professional Certificate in Applied Hypnosis专业应用催眠证书班同学的好评肯定,也从大家的字里行间看到了个人的提升与收获。确实,虽然许多同学带着学习催眠技术的心来上课,但是他们在这个学习过程中,渐渐领悟到,原来在帮助他人前,梳理了自己潜意识内在的声音,更了解自己内在的各个部分是非常有帮助的。
就像Inside Out电影带出的重点,所有的情绪都可以被看见与接纳时,我们将越来越能选择自己心底想要成为的模样。

这次的结业feedback评分也保持在很高的分数,让我也知道自己的教学方式满足了大部分的同学。我也会再接再厉,把教学做得更好的!

有继续修读创伤知情从业者文凭班的同学,我们明年1月见!
大家好好照顾自己哦!

周末将会开办新一届的UTM SPACE认证专业应用催眠证书班。毕业后也能获得美国ICBCH催眠师Professional Hypnotist认证哦!

有兴趣在最后时刻报名的,感觉DM我们哦!

Received positive feedback from students of the UTM SPACE certified Professional Certificate in Applied Hypnosis course. Through their words, it's evident that they have experienced personal growth and benefits. Indeed, while many students joined with the aim of learning hypnosis techniques, they gradually realized the importance of understanding their inner subconscious voices, which significantly aids in self-awareness before helping others.

Similar to the key message in the movie Inside Out, when all emotions are seen and accepted, we become better at choosing the person we want to be.

The feedback scores for this graduation session have remained high, indicating that my teaching methods have met the expectations of most students. I will continue to strive for even better teaching quality!

For those continuing with the Trauma-Informed Practitioner Diploma course, see you in January next year! Take good care of yourselves!

A new session of the UTM SPACE certified Professional Certificate in Applied Hypnosis course will commence this weekend. Graduates will also be eligible for the Professional Hypnotist certification from the ICBCH USA!

If you're interested in last-minute registration, feel free to DM us!

National Occupational Skills Standard for Hypnotherapy (NOSS Hypnotherapy) Malaysia

The National Occupational Skills Standard for Hypnotherapy Vocational Education in Malaysia has been officially established and launched! This is believed to be the first nationally accredited hypnotherapy vocational education standard in Asia. In the future, obtaining this national accreditation will involve either traditional skill training education (2400 hours, with approximately 70% being practical training in applied techniques) or Recognition Prior Experience, a comprehensive evaluation and assessment of previously acquired knowledge and work experience.

I was excited upon receiving this news. I recall in 2021 when I took the initiative to discuss this proposal with government officials. Back then, simply gaining acceptance for the term "hypnotherapy" took numerous discussions over a year and a half, which was a mentally exhausting process. At that time, almost everyone advised me against dreaming big and getting involved in so many matters.
However, I firmly believed that this was an essential aspect to garner greater recognition for hypnotherapy in Malaysia.
Gradually, more and more people joined our cause, including a group of excellent professionals from various backgrounds (career counselors, clinical psychologists, medical doctors, educational psychologist, developmental psychologist, HR experts, social workers, etc.) who also possessed hypnotherapy experience. They became involved in the designated this hypnotherapy vocational education standard process. We referenced hypnotherapy education standards from countries like the United States and the United Kingdom, while adapting to local culture and needs. With the support of the Malaysian government, we have finally completed this vocational standard for hypnotherapy education!
I am truly thrilled and honored to be part of this milestone for the hypnotherapy profession!

HypnoFertility Malaysia by Dr Hiro Koo

1 in 6 people globally face infertility issues. According to the latest report from WHO in 2023, infertility has a significant impact, with 17.5% of adults having experienced infertility challenges. There is a crucial need to provide high-quality, affordable fertility care to those affected. Infertility is a public health concern that requires more attention and support (WHO, 2023).



Our center's Dr. Hiro Koo is a certified hypnotherapist in the UK's easibirthing fertility method. In addition to teaching self-hypnosis methods for IVF as an adjunctive therapy, he can also help address unidentified psychological factors and lifestyle habits that may affect fertility. Our center also offers holistic approaches such as professional counseling, neurofeedback training, or other complementary therapies to cultivate a conducive mind-body environment for parenting the next generation.
To learn more about how our services can be customized as an adjunctive therapy to assist you during your conception process, we recommend scheduling an initial consultation to explore our Hypno Fertility program. Feel free to DM us to arrange an Initial Screening or WhatsApp us (or Scan QR Code) at 0167154419.




Do you know?
For those facing infertility issues, research shows that hypnotherapy significantly improves psychological stress and preparedness for conception, while also reducing anxiety and depression. Mind-body interventions enhance the success rates of fertility, providing comprehensive psychological support for women preparing for pregnancy. #Hypnotherapy #HolisticHealing #FertilitySupport (Erdemoğlu & Aksoy Derya, 2022).

Recent studies have found that when receiving mind-body interventions, such as self-hypnosis and biofeedback, there is a significant improvement in anxiety, depression, quality of life, and pregnancy rates. Tailored mind-body intervention programs facilitate pregnancy, reigniting hope for couples to become parents (Ha & Ban, 2021). In the face of infertility challenges, psychological stress and mood disorders are obstacles. Research suggests that reasonable psychological healing improves the psychological capacity related to infertility and may increase successful pregnancy rates (Doyle & Carballedo, 2014).

Exciting Insights and Collaborations at the 7th Singapore Hypnotism Conference 2024


I had the great honor of being invited to participate in the 7th Singapore Hypnotherapy Conference organized by the Association of Hypnosis Professionals Singapore (AHPS Singapore) in conjunction with the World Hypnotism Day. It was a fantastic opportunity to share my expertise through a special lecture on my research-related topics.

Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised to witness the enthusiasm of numerous AHPS members attending the 7th edition of the hypnotherapy conference in Singapore. The event was truly invigorating, bringing together professionals from Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia, including psychiatrists, hypnotists, hypnotherapists, psychologists, and counseling experts. Their passion for the field of hypnotherapy was palpable.

The conference facilitated networking and discussions among professionals who shared a keen interest in the practice of hypnotherapy. It was encouraging to observe the growing adoption of hypnotherapeutic techniques in clinical settings such as hospitals and clinics in Singapore. This trend suggests an increasing recognition of hypnotherapy within mainstream medical environments.

Our interactions led to the exchange of ideas, discussions on the current dynamics of the hypnotherapy industry in Southeast Asia, and even proposals for co-hosting future hypnotherapy conferences in the coming years. The prospect of collaborative efforts in organizing such events is indeed thrilling!
