My Biography & Credentials

Betty Moore-Hafter, MA,
Certified Hypnotherapist

I have a background in education and taught for many years, yet my passion has always been personal and spiritual growth. I've always wanted to understand what makes people tick, how people can change, and what gives our lives meaning and purpose.

In my own healing journey, I eventually reached a point where insight wasn't enough. I understood many of my issues, yet could not free myself from negative feelings and patterns of behavior. That is when I discovered work with the subconscious mind. Through that work, I experienced profound healing and lasting change. I felt different, truly freed from my old patterns. This was what I had been looking for!

During the past 15 years, I have followed my heart into more than 1000 hours of training in hypnotherapy and related healing arts so that I can offer this transformative work to others. I've been certified as a hypnotherapist through the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) and am certified as a regression therapist through the International Board of Regression Therapy (IBRT). I hold special certifications in Past Life Regression (from Dr. Brian Weiss), Medical Hypnotherapy, Emergency Hypnosis, Reiki, Psychosynthesis (Levels I & II), and Spirit Releasement Therapy. I have completed the extensive Training Videos for EFT proficiency and also have some unique EFT experiences in my credentials. I hold the EFT Cert-1 Certification. In addition, I am a Certified AAMET Advanced EFT Practitioner and a Certified AAMET EFT Trainer.

I have been involved with EFT since 1998, almost from the beginning. When I say that I've been personally trained in the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) by its founder, Gary Craig, I'm referring to a special opportunity that I was very privileged to have. In May of 2001, Gary Craig offered a small-group EFT training at his home in The Sea Ranch, California. I was one of 12 people in that group, and we spent a full week with Gary, learning and practicing all the fine points of EFT. It was an amazing opportunity and one that I treasure. In addition, I've attended four of the live workshops that are featured in the EFT DVD Libraries and I appear in a demonstration session with Gary in the Borrowing Benefits DVD set.

My five-day training with Dr. Brian Weiss was also a highlight in my life. Dr. Weiss is just as heart-centered and genuine in person as he is in his books. The Past Life Regression Certification training that I attended in 1996 was one of the first that he offered. His kindness and encouragement to all of us in the training will never be forgotten.

This is a wonderful time of life for me, finally doing the work I have dreamed of! I do appreciate my teaching experience and draw upon it in leading classes and workshops. My intent is to teach others to trust themselves and empower them to continue this work on their own. I see myself as a partner with my clients in their healing work, a companion on the journey. I trust each person's intuitive wisdom and am led by the unique unfolding of each person's process. I believe that with the right tools and with guidance and support, everyone has the capacity to create and realize his or her own vision of wholeness and well-being, free from limiting beliefs, feelings and behaviors.

I was born on January 14, 1951 in Charlotte N.C., and I now live in South Burlington, VT with my husband and our funny little lovebird, Zoe-Boy.
