Mimi Pettibone is a certified transpersonal hypnotherapist, dream worker, coach, and guided imagery practitioner who works with private clients and groups worldwide. She has a special niche working with the subconscious mind and loves helping people uncover the answers from within. Her background includes extensive training in hypnotherapy, various forms of parts work (NLP, Voice Dialogue, I.F.S., Focusing), and advanced studies in the social psychology of Transactional Analysis (T.A.) which includes relationship and communication skills, intrapsychic communication, games, and life scripts. She has studied with leading attachment theory and trauma experts, and as an empath she has a special interest in, and understanding of, the empath-narcissist relationship dynamic.

As part of her mission to share dream and consciousness-related information Mimi created The Dream Detective podcast which explores the mysteries of the mind, body, spirit, and dreams. She is also a dream columnist, blogger, and media guest and has been a consultant for television, film, theater, and video productions on the topic of dreams. Her guided meditation recordings include topics such as dream incubation, inner guidance, and letting go of perfectionism, and can be found on YouTube and the Insight Timer meditation app. Mimi is the author of the Enchanted Art Oracle card deck (a bestseller on Etsy.com), which pairs beautiful vintage artwork with messages designed to help you live your most authentic life.

Mimi has brought her gifts to companies such as Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, and high end private social clubs to educate, inspire, enrich, and entertain. She follows her dreams and inner guidance as her compass to navigate life, and loves helping others do the same.

ON DREAMS:
Mimi Pettibone believes that our dreams and inner guidance can connect us with our subconscious mind, our deepest truth, and the infinite field of intelligence that surrounds us.  She first became fascinated with dreams as a little girl when she observed that many of her own dreams were precognitive. She always had an intuitive sense that her dreams must mean something, but didn’t know what, until she joined a dream group in college where she received her first understanding of how to work with dreams. Throughout her life Mimi has had many spiritual, psychic, and paranormal experiences, both in dreams and in the waking state. These have inspired her love for, and fascination with everything from psychology to parapsychology, consciousness, metaphysics, and all things psychic and paranormal.

A natural born teacher, Mimi offers a variety of talks, workshops, and groups such as Conscious Communication, Dreams and Relationships, Dreams & the Paranormal, Dream Groups, and Drawing from Dreams which uses principles from art therapy to explore symbolism in dream imagery. She also hosts guided imagery groups with topics such as Meet Your Inner Advisor, Personal Discovery through Guided Imagery, and Guided Imagery for Healing. Her training in humanistic, spiritual, and social psychology, combined with her background in hypnotherapy, guided imagery, symbolism, and metaphor, contribute to all of her work.
