Chicago Hypnosis Center

Karen Hand and Catherine Johns own Chicago Hypnosis Center where they help clients make amazing changes in their lives. That might mean reaching and maintaining a healthy weight, putting cigarettes in the past, improving performance at work ... or in sports. Or it might mean a whole new approach to reducing pain or managing stress.

Karen Hand is a Master Hypnotist and National Guild of Hypnotists Certified Instructor. She has studied with leading hypnotists throughout the country and is certified to perform and teach various techniques. Karen specializes in pain management, smoking cessation, fear release, and stress reduction. She also teaches the art of hypnosis in classes scheduled throughout the year.

Catherine Johns is a Certified Hypnotist and a Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. In addition to the center's very effective weight loss program, Catherine draws on her previous work as a business communication consultant to help clients develop their professional presence and business skills.

You might remember Karen and Catherine from their long careers in Chicago radio. Catherine was a news anchor, talk show host and morning show sidechick at WLS and later at WJMK ... and she still hears from people who miss having her keep them company from the dashboard of their car.

Karen was a News Director, on-air personality, and talk show host at B-96 and WCKG. She headlined the top rated program Private Lives with Dr. Kelly Johnson for more than a decade, helping Chicagoans with self improvement and relationship issues.

Karen and Catherine transitioned into their hypnosis practice in 2005. Karen and Catherine see select clients at locations on the northwest side of Chicago.

Catherine and Karen are certified members of The National Guild of Hypnotists and certified consulting hypnotists.
