Click on Ginny's picture for a short message.

In the seventies, while earning a degree in psychology, Ginny found herself being held back by a hatred of math.  Statistics was a required class, and she couldn’t bring herself to study. 

She went to a local psychologist and asked him to use hypnosis to help her get past her mental block. With just one session she found herself eagerly attacking assignments, studying at every opportunity (including reading her text book while soaking in the tub), and asking for extra help in order to gain a clear understanding of the course. Not only did she earn an A in the class, but when her instructor diagrammed the results of the final exam on the board, there was one grade in the 98^th percentile -- Ginny's. From that time on she learned and practiced self-hypnosis for a variety of purposes, including labor and delivery.

Upon graduation she married and dedicated herself to being a stay-at-home wife, then mother of three. Circumstances eventfully led her to a 20-year career as a legal secretary. When the time came for another change, she revisited her love of psychology and eventually earned her PhD, augmenting an interim doctorate degree in Clinical Hypnosis.

Ginny opened the first Evergreen office in 1992, her husband joined her in the practice, and in 2003 she was named Stockton’s Small Business Person of the Year. 

Over the years a growing number of schools of hypnosis began certifying anyone who paid the registration fee, regardless of their actual prowess. Ginny noticed some people practicing with little or poor quality training, with no sense of professionalism, and with questionable ethics. Watching the bar being lowered inspired Ginny to turn her focus from helping clients to mentoring other hypnotherapists wanting to achieve success by meeting higher standards. Her mentoring program, Acumen Certification Training^(tm), is aimed toward raising the bar on hypnotherapy, one practitioner at a time.

After traveling a year from Alaska, along the Western States, and to Hawaii to promote her fourth book, Charming Children, she returned to the practice as a credentialed psychologist specializing in clinical hypnosis.

Her interests include horseback riding, writing, reading, and spoiling her 5 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Not necessarily in that order.
