SUMMER REVIEW AND FALL PLANNING

Happy September! We hope you've had a relaxing summer and are now
rejuvenated and ready to launch a successful fall. We at NGHWA have
been reaping the benefits of our monthly presentations filled with new
ways to build our practices and opportunities to exchange ideas with
our colleagues.

This summer, for example, we got to meet Dr. Cheryl Beighle, a
pediatrician who regularly uses hypnosis, who gave us some fantastic
tips for working with children in different age groups. She "de-
mystified" the process and helped those in attendance feel better
equipped to expand our practice to include children.

Those who showed up for our July meeting got a special bonus when
Keith Livingston (www.Hypnosis101.com) gave out free preview copies
of his newest programming on healing, "Miraculous Healing with Neuro-
Linguistic Hypnotherapy" and "The Traumatic Injury Relief Pattern."
Thank you, Keith!

In August, we focused on the legal aspects of running a practice as
attorney Michelle Hayden Bomberger (http://sblslaw.com/mission.html )
reviewed how to effectively set up the right kind of business
structure, reminded us how to deal with risk management, and offered
great tips for how to set up proper legal planning.

The best part of coming to chapter meetings is that we not only learn
from our presenters, we also learn from listening to other peoples'
questions, and from sharing ideas before and after each presentation.
Read on to learn about more great opportunities to connect with your
colleagues, learn and grow, and expand your horizons. We hope you
will make the effort to come out and join us at our next meeting,
this Friday.

SEPTEMBER CHAPTER MEETING:
"INVERSE WAVE THERAPY" WITH KATHIE BRODIE
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2008 – 7:00 TO 9:00 PM

Location: South Snohomish County P.U.D. Office Auditorium
21018 Highway 99, Edmonds WA 98026
$10 for non-members

Please join us this Friday as our very own Kathie Brodie enlightens
us about a process she has been using successfully in her practice
called "Inverse Wave Therapy." Inverse Wave is a modality/technique
to use with clients experiencing a fear or phobia. It is a very
powerful tool to assist clients in reframing the experience into a
positive outcome.

Come discover:
- Why you want to have this technique in your "bag of tools"
- Why it works so well with fears and phobias
- How you can begin using it immediately with your clients

Kathie Brodie, "The Baggage Handler", is a consulting hypnotist, a
Reconnective Healer, and an Inverse Wave Practitioner. Kathie left
corporate America a few years ago to pursue her dream of assisting
people in "losing their baggage" in order to live the lives they
desire. Her office is in Shoreline. She can be reached at: 206-546-
8266. Visit her website: http://www.HarvestoftheHeart.com
