The owner and founder of the Hypnosis Center, Mr. Jack Laurie received his first formal training in hypnosis in 1988 while attending the Harte Institute of New York. Mr. Laurie holds a Bachelor's degree in Business Management from Mesa College of Grand Junction, Colorado. In addition, he's earned two Master's degrees: an M.A. in Human Resource Development from Webster University in Saint Louis, Missouri; and an M.S.A. in Health Services from Central Michigan University of Mount Pleasant, Michigan. Mr. Laurie's unique combination of academic and hypnosis training makes him an ideal clinician, lecturer, teacher, and entertainer.
Mr. Laurie first learned the power of the human mind in the early 70s while on his first of three tours with the U.S. Army elites. As a former U.S. ARMY GREEN BERET he first observed how powerful the mind could be while attending RANGER SCHOOL, the U.S. Army's toughest combat arms training school. It took the power of the mind to overcome fatigue, cold, hunger, and the grueling training. Those who could harness the power of the mind survived the training; those who did not went on to other endeavors.
As a business owner in the State of New Jersey, Jack Laurie owned one of the largest N.J.D.E.P. licensed radon laboratory/measurement businesses. After 17 years in business, a competitor made him a buyout offer that, as they say, "could not be refused."
Since 1988 Jack Laurie has become one of the most sought-after speakers, trainers, and entertainers in the United States. While clinical patients used to take up most of his time, over the last ten years Jack Laurie has turned much of his efforts to entertainment. He believes that the power of laughter is a mighty tool when dealing with the problems of day to day life. Jack Laurie now splits his time between his classes and a heavy entertainment schedule.
