About Fran M. Palumbo - Hypnosis, Stress Reduction and Meditation workshops & products.

Fran M. Palumbo changed the course of her life when she taught herself to meditate. At that time, she realized it was her own thoughts that were responsible for what was happening in her life. Through a commitment to meditation, she learned: “Nothing manifests without prior thought,” “What I do for myself today is my future,” and “The path to inner peace is through meditation.”

As a result of meditating, she became fascinated by the mind, which served to stimulate her interest in hypnosis. Her thirst for knowledge about the inner workings of the mind led to study that continues to this day.

Fran M. Palumbo, in practice since 1985, is an innovative instructor, lecturer, hypnotist, and metaphysical counselor. Her unique stress reduction program, “Reducing Stress Through Meditation,” has benefited many participants and resulted in a patient education video.

Fran Studied with Sufi mediation master Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies, Rhineback, NY, and the Wellness Center, Ridgefield, CT.

She is a graduate of the Stress Reduction Clinic program at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center and a certified hypnotherapist through the Hypnodyne Foundation, Clearwater FL.; Omni Hypnosis Training Center, DeLand, FL., and Banyan Hypnosis center for Training and Services, Tustin, CA. She is a certified instructor for Prepare for Surgery, and a certified HypnoBirthing practitioner.

Fran is a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists, the National Board of Hypnosis Education and Certification, and the National Federation of Hypnotists. She is also a 5-PATH International Hypnotherapy Association Charter Member.
