When people think of hypnosis, they often picture a man in a tuxedo, swinging a pocket watch and saying, “You’re getting sleepy.” But behind the myths and old stage routines lies a deeper truth: women have been shaping the field of hypnosis for decades, not just as therapists and educators—but as healers, pioneers, and quiet revolutionaries.
Their voices have soothed trauma, sparked transformation, and challenged the idea that hypnosis is just a party trick. These women don’t just guide minds—they heal them. And their influence continues to ripple across therapy rooms, lecture halls, and stages around the world.
This is the story of the women whose voices have echoed into the subconscious, redefined wellness, and reclaimed hypnosis as a tool for personal power and profound change.
Helen Reddy – The Feminist Icon Who Found Fulfillment in Hypnosis
Best known for her 1970s anthem “I Am Woman,” Helen Reddy was more than a pop icon—she was a quiet force in the world of healing. After her music career slowed down, Reddy became a certified hypnotherapist, practicing privately in Australia.
She once said that helping people through hypnosis brought her more personal satisfaction than singing ever had. For someone who moved millions with her voice, it’s telling that she found deeper fulfillment helping individuals rediscover their inner strength—one subconscious session at a time.
“Singing was wonderful, but helping someone take control of their mind and heal—that was the real reward.” – Helen Reddy
Marisa Peer – Rewiring the World with “I Am Enough”
Marisa Peer is one of the most recognizable names in modern hypnotherapy. As the founder of Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT), Peer has helped millions reprogram limiting beliefs and reclaim their inner confidence.
Her signature message, “I am enough,” is now a global movement. Her work blends hypnosis, NLP, CBT, and psychotherapy to create fast, lasting change—and it’s brought hypnosis into the world of corporate coaching, sports performance, trauma recovery, and beyond.
Her TEDx talk, “How to Believe You Are Enough,” has been viewed over 21 million times.
Danna Pycher – From Survivor to Subconscious Healer
After surviving a near-fatal car accident, Danna Pycher found herself struggling with PTSD and chronic health issues that conventional medicine couldn’t resolve. Her healing began with hypnotherapy—and that became her calling.
Today, she specializes in trauma, PTSD, chronic illness, and subconscious healing, combining neuroscience with emotional release. Her TEDx talk, “Healing Illness With the Subconscious Mind,” continues to inspire trauma survivors around the world.

Georgina Cannon – Bridging Science and Soul
Canadian hypnotherapist Dr. Georgina Cannon is a respected educator and author known for her work in regression therapy, interlife exploration, and life-between-lives work.
She teaches at the University of Toronto and has trained hundreds of hypnotherapists around the world, helping make soul-centered work more evidence-based and respected in professional spaces.
Her work blends spiritual insight with therapeutic structure—reminding us that healing can be both mystical and methodical.
Dolores Cannon – The Hypnotist Who Explored the Universe
Before “quantum healing” and “timeline therapy” entered the mainstream, Dolores Cannon was already guiding clients through past lives, subconscious journeys, and higher realms of consciousness.
She created the Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT) and wrote more than 17 books covering everything from interdimensional healing to soul evolution.
Though not clinical in the traditional sense, her work deeply influenced the spiritual and metaphysical hypnosis movements. Her legacy continues through her daughter Julia Cannon and a global community of QHHT practitioners.

Women Are Leading Hypnosis Into a More Inclusive Future
For decades, hypnosis was seen through a narrow lens—often male, often clinical, often disconnected from emotion and intuition. But women have changed that.
Technique through presence.
Certification through care.
Knowledge through lived experience.
Women in hypnosis are helping lead the profession toward something more expansive—more emotionally intelligent, more inclusive, more human.
And this isn’t just about gender.
This is about creating space for:
- Identity and Expression
- Welcoming all bodies and neurotypes
- Holding space for all cultures and belief systems
- Embracing people who’ve been left out of traditional healing frameworks
By leading with compassion, grace, and intellectual strength, women are transforming hypnosis by focusing on:
- Safer spaces.
- Ethical, personalized care.
- Breaking away from old hierarchies
- Raffirming healing isn’t about control—it’s about collaboration.
Our voices don’t need to dominate. We resonate.
And those echoes are shaping a future where every mind—and every heart—can find the space to heal.
