National Guild of Hypnotists

The National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) is a non-profit,[1] membership-based, international organization for professional consulting hypnotists. The organization is headquartered in Merrimack, New Hampshire.[2][3] As the oldest and largest hypnotism organization in the world,[4] NGH has approximately 20,000 members across the United States and in more than 93 countries.[5] As of 2020, the President of the National Guild of Hypnotists is Dr. Dwight F. Damon, who is also a founding member.[6][7]

NGH sets professional standards for hypnotic practice and services.[8][9] Guild members do not diagnose, treat, nor prescribe for clients regarding issues related to medical or mental health conditions.[10] They work with clients only with the intent to enhance the client's own natural restorative and coping abilities,[4] and can serve as success coaches, motivators, and guides.[11]
