Do You Need to Be Fully Healed Before You Can Help Others?

Do you need to be fully healed before becoming a practitioner? In this episode, Maddison unpacks question she received recently from an aspiring hypnotherapist and wellness practitioner. Drawing on her own journey from yoga teacher training to building a thriving hypnotherapy practice, she explores the difference between continually developing and transforming and allowing healing to become a reason to stay stuck.
