The SFTI training - Above & Beyond your expectations

The SFTI training is in a class of its own. Having trained as a hypnotherapist 14 years ago, I can honestly say this takes things to a completely different level.

The depth of understanding and quality of delivery go far beyond what I’ve experienced before.

Cormac and Jodie work brilliantly together and bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and genuine care to the training.

They are incredibly generous in what they share and create a supportive and engaging learning environment.

The training is also genuinely enjoyable. It’s fun, and the professionals I’ve met along the way are fantastic, supportive, encouraging, and great to connect with.

This experience has had a real impact on my confidence and how I work as a practitioner. I feel more equipped and grounded at a deeper level, and assured in what I offer.

I would highly recommend the year-long certification training and the 4-day training they offer to both new and experienced practitioners.

Thanks, Jodie & Cormac! A truly worthwhile investment.

5 star Hypnotherapy training *****

What an exhilarating experience. Loved every minute. Jodie and Cormac as a team bring so much depth to the training. Between them their knowledge and experience in the Hypnotherapy ibusiness is enormous. Still most important is the fact they are genuine and really want to help every client.
The group of people at the training were so lovely and encouraging. We practised new techniques as we went. Excellent.

Training with Cormac and Jodie at SFTI…

Training with Cormac and Jodie at SFTI has been one of the most transformative professional experiences I’ve ever had. Their Emotional Rebalance Hypnotherapy training is not just a course — it’s a masterfully crafted journey into deep understanding, practical skill, and genuine human connection.
From the very first session, it’s clear that both Cormac and Jodie are exceptional trainers. They bring a rare blend of clinical expertise, warmth, humour, and grounded professionalism that immediately puts you at ease. Their teaching style is clear, engaging, and deeply supportive, making even complex concepts feel accessible and intuitive.
What truly sets them apart is their integrity and passion. They don’t just teach techniques — they embody the principles they share. Every demonstration, every discussion, and every moment of guidance is delivered with care, precision, and a genuine desire to see their students grow into confident, ethical practitioners.
The Emotional Rebalance model itself is powerful, elegant, and incredibly effective. Cormac and Jodie explain it with such clarity that you walk away not only understanding the method, but feeling fully equipped to use it with real clients. Their feedback is constructive and encouraging, and they create a learning environment where you feel safe to explore, ask questions, and develop your own style.
If you’re looking for hypnotherapy training that is high‑quality, heart‑centred, and grounded in real-world clinical experience, SFTI is outstanding. Cormac and Jodie are the kind of trainers who stay with you long after the course ends — mentors you trust, practitioners you admire, and people who genuinely care about your success.
I cannot recommend them highly enough.

SFTI Programming is fantastic!

Cormac and Jodie are so knowledgable! The training is top notch, and so intentional about everything they do in the training. Both are very responsive to questions and give great feedback. I leave feeling more experienced and more confident in my abilities as a hypnotherapist. I'd highly recommend not just this training, but also the year-long certification program. In just the few months that I've been in the program, I've already seen more growth in my business and feel more grounded in technique. :)

Friendly and professional

Cormac and Jodie make the perfect pairing partners and deliver their somatic and trauma work effortlessly. Pausing, giving space to ask questions, practice the protocols and encourage peer to peer engagement has been a game changer. The pace and structure of their course is dynamic and well worth your time and energy. Don't miss it, this course is a one stop shop when it comes to trauma and addictions.

Cormac Colleran and Dr. Jodie Solberg at SFTI Hypnosis Academy deliver top-tier training in Solution-Focused Trauma-Informed Hypnotherapy—especially for addiction and trauma work.


They blend Cormac’s solution-focused mastery with Jodie’s deep trauma expertise into a clear, compassionate system that actually works. No fluff, no digging into painful pasts unless the client wants it—just practical tools to help clients build forward momentum safely. With over 40 years combined they have created a in-depth protocol that we can use daily.
The Addiction & Trauma Hypnotherapy class gave me protocols I can adapt immediately, all while keeping the client empowered and safe. Cormac and Jodie are knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in raising the standard. If you’re serious about helping people break cycles without harm, this is the training. Highly recommend.

I’ve just completed this training and…

I’ve just completed this training and honestly, it was amazing from start to finish! The trainers were not only knowledgeable but also so supportive and inspiring. I’ve learned a huge amount about addictions and discovered some truly powerful hypnosis techniques. There were lots of opportunities to practice, which made everything come to life, and I’ve come away with so many useful notes and ideas. I feel genuinely grateful for this experience and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to grow their confidence and skills in this area!

Hi Sabina,
Thank you for sharing such a meaningful review. It was a pleasure to have you on the training, and we’re thrilled that you felt supported, inspired, and empowered throughout the experience.

Great and Usable Training

I attended Cormac and Jodi's Trauma and Addiction course for Hypnotherapists was excellent. It was four days filled with useful and easy to understand information, techniques and practice. They are a strong duo bringing both of their strengths together to create an effective experience.

It's the peanut butter AND the jelly (jam).

Tackling what is often a missing piece to habit/addiction change, this course offers a comprehensive approach for hypnotists helping clients struggling with addiction.

The course was presented well and engaging. Very much worth the time and effort to have participated.

Fantastic Training!

Jodie and Cormac are fantastic trainers! Both of them are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, and they are able to communicate their knowledge and experience to students in ways that are clear and engaging. The Addiction and Trauma course was packed with highly useful information that was presented in an easily digestible and organized fashion, giving students the tools and confidence to take these exciting and effective techniques to their own clients. They also added lots of tidbits and extras that made the course even more interesting and valuable.

If you have an opportunity to train with SFTI Hypnosis, I highly recommend you take it--you won't be disappointed!

This delivered much more than I expected!

This has been a fantastic training. Both Cormac and Jody have done a great job. I was really impressed and am sure I will be using a lot from what I learned here. A lot of clever language and maneuvers and new slants on some of what I was already familiar with. The addiction training they put together was well worth the investment.
