As an author, Consulting Hypnotist, and Hypnosis Instructor, Rusty considers it a privilege to help people live life to its fullest. Rusty regularly presents workshops on mindfulness techniques and self-hypnosis, and gives talks to community organizations on the benefits of hypnosis. Additionally, he is an internationally recognized speaker of hypnosis theory and hypnotic techniques.
Rusty spent 25 years in law enforcement where he retired as a detective; prior to that, he served the citizens of South Jersey as a paramedic. Rusty is an ordained Christian minister and former faculty director at a college seminary. Rusty holds both an undergraduate and Master’s degree in Divinity, with an emphasis in Pastoral Counseling; his Doctorate degree is in Ministry.
Rusty’s philosophy is that hypnosis is a sacred partnership between hypnotist and client, and he holds that trust in the strictest confidence. He believes everyone is worthy and deserving of a life filled with love, joy, and happiness. Utilizing the various methods of hypnosis, Rusty helps his clients do just that.
Rusty’s approach is a combination of mindfulness and hypnosis: Mindful Hypnosis. He agrees with what the late hypnosis pioneer Ormond McGill once said, “The purpose of the mind is to create.” By learning how to recognize the mind’s ability to create, Rusty believes we can begin to produce various aspects of our lives in new ways. By focusing on wellness, not the cause of an issue, Rusty helps clients create the lasting change they are seeking.
As a practitioner of clinical hypnosis, Rusty is passionate about providing his clients the most up-to-date and research-proven techniques; techniques that are based on published peer-reviewed journal studies and research. Rusty considers himself a life-long learner with the intent to constantly grow in both knowledge and experience; he is continually searching for the most recent, evidence-based, methods that best serve his clients. In addition, to his accreditations in hypnosis, he also holds practitioner level certifications in Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping), and incorporates both modalities in his work.
Perhaps most importantly, Rusty has hypnotized people from all walks of life, and not one of them has ever been made to bark like a dog, cluck like a chicken, or quack like a duck!
