I'm "Doc," Dr. E. S. Hood. I have been creating profound changes in students' and clients' lives for more than 20 years. I had my first experience with hypnosis at 18, overcoming a fear of performing in just a single session! It transformed my life. I went on to become a high school teacher and a professor at two large universities. 

I am a trained and certified clinical master hypnotist, apprenticing in Toronto under the internationally renowned, Mike Mandel. I earned my degree in psychology from Michigan State University, a teaching certificate and Master’s Degree from Eastern Michigan University, and a Ph.D. from the University of Kansas.

Residing in Lawrence, Kansas, and raised in Detroit, I am a teacher, author, musician, and artist. I've taught classes on meditation, and I spent some years making noise in Indie/Alternative bands and playing competitive pinball.
