About NATH
The National Association of Transpersonal Hypnotherapists (NATH – EST. 1989) is the oldest and largest transpersonal hypnotherapy association in the United States- co-founded by Dr. Allen Chips, and his wife Dee Chips. Since 2017, it has been owned and operated by Linda M. Thunberg, MHt, LBLt, CCP and is one of few woman owned hypnosis associations’ worldwide.
NATH maintains an outstanding reputation for certifying and registering professional and clinical hypnotherapists from a variety of backgrounds across the United States and abroad. Focus is placed on continuing education and the unification of professionals who use meditative-trance states as the primary catalyst for creating transformations in the body, mind, and spiritual directions of their clients.
Transpersonal Hypnosis can be the bridge between these three primary components of human consciousness. Transpersonal Hypnotherapy also brings in the spiritual aspect of the triangle to therapy- the Client, the Hypnotist and the belief of a higher source being present.
NATHs’ hypnotherapists are extremely client focused and holistic. Identifying and utilizing clients’ spiritual beliefs, when desired, for a true transpersonal approach.
The National Association of Transpersonal Hypnotherapists educates, empowers, and energizes hypnosis professionals by providing education, collaborative, and networking services in the transpersonal approach to hypnosis. We are here to support our members on their professional path.
NATH through the years:
“Whatever you do in life can be enhanced by hypnosis. If people knew the awesome power of their subconscious mind, and its ability to effect positive change without any conscious effort on their part, they would be truly amazed.”
-Dr. Allen Chips, DCH, PhD
AT NATH we practice Transpersonal Hypnosis/Hypnotherapy! What Is Transpersonal Hypnotherapy?
Transpersonal Hypnosis is an orientation toward hypnotherapy that is shared by an increasing number of practitioners who are ready to take the concept of holism to the next logical step. Where holism takes body, mind, and spirit into consideration, transpersonalism goes beyond the individual to consider the deep connections between human beings and our capacity to transcend the limitations of a three-dimensional consciousness.
Described by CEO Linda M. Thunberg, MHt, CCP “Transpersonal Hypnosis is Spiritually Centered Hypnosis-your spiritual being meeting the earthly world for change and healing.” It was described by Dr. Allen Chips as “a Crossing of the Body, Mind & Spirit.” It incorporates, not only the body and mind as in clinical hypnosis, but the spirit as well.
The sessions are extremely client based, personalized for the client to address any aspect of their life and the effective relationship between the mind, body and spirit. There is no religious orientation suggested, but instead an unfoldment that brings those insights and experiences that lead to the client’s highest good- physically, mentally, emotionally, and/or spiritually.

What Is Transpersonal Hypnotherapy?
Transpersonal Hypnotherapy is an orientation toward hypnotherapy that is shared by an increasing number of practitioners who are ready to take the concept of holism to the next logical step.

The sessions are extremely client based, personalized for the client to address any aspect of their life and the effective relationship between the mind, body and spirit. There is no religious orientation suggested, but instead an unfoldment that synchronistically brings those insights and experiences that lead to the client’s highest good- physically, mentally, emotionally, and/or spiritually. Usually the client (after an extensive interview) requests one of or a series of the following sessions:
A Clinical Session
where the hypnotist induces a very deep relaxation then feeds your subconscious mind your suggestions to create new patterns in your life, supported with your spiritual beliefs, if desired.
A Regression
requested because you want to experience a past life to know that life is continuous, or you have an awareness of a “block” in your life and want to explore the past to find the link to heal, and move forward in life.
A Life between Lives Session
to answer the question of “what happens when I die? This session which can be up to 6 hours is based on the original life between lives hypnosis approach of Dr. Michael Newton and Dr. Allen Chips, the latter of whom Linda trained under. It takes you through the whole regression process of childhood, the womb, the most recent past life, and the spiritual planes of existence, perhaps to healing stations and your spirit counsel, answering questions you have about this life in the pre-birth planning stage. It also involves the new Chips/Reynolds method which is a client centered, nondirective approach allowing for a wider spiritual –philosophical experience.)
