About Dr. Hardcastle

LIFE events led Dr. Hardcastle to discover the power of hypnosis. Shortly after the birth of her second child, she suffered the death of her beloved step-son. While her family grieved their loss, her husband had a major career transition and his father died. In an attempt to manage and relieve her grief, stress and anxiety she explored alternative therapies, but found no solace.

All along the answer was in the office next door. Working as an ecumenical chaplain at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, Dr. Hardcastle teamed with a Roman Catholic priest who was studying hypnosis as part of a masters program. The priest loaned her his textbook and she began a dedicated discipline of self-hypnosis. Gradually she located and strengthened the still-point of peace, harmony, and happiness within.

Over 20 years later, through numerous major life transitions, she continues to practice hypnosis and is amazed by the power of the mind and spirit to promote health, wellness and personal growth.

Dr. Hardcastle is a certified hypnotherapist and transformational life coach. She has a doctorate in Parapsychic Sciences and a Master of Divinity in Philosophical Theology. She is ordained in the United Methodist denomination. Committed to deepening her spirituality, Dr. Hardcastle practices Tibetan Buddhist Yoga, Reiki healing and meditation.

Through her education, training and self-disciplines, she refined her professional expertise in consciousness. In addition to her private practice of hypnotherapy and coaching, Dr. Hardcastle is a researcher, writer, lecturer and educator in the emerging field of consciousness studies. She is the originator of the concept of Exoconsciousness and is dedicated to exploring the multiple dimensions of consciousness that link us to one another, earth, cosmos and creator.

"Human consciousness is our most precious natural resource."
