I am Diane Edwards, Master Hypnotist and founder of San Diego Hypnosis Clinic.  I was raised and educated in Dublin, Ireland, where I began my work as a counselor, specializing in suicide prevention and sexual health.  Those early years deeply shaped my understanding of the human mind and the importance of compassionate, effective support.  In 1989, I founded the San Diego Hypnosis Clinic with a clear intention: to provide people with a comprehensive, practical way to create positive lasting change in their lives.

Alongside my private practice, I’ve traveled throughout the country offering innovative group programs, particularly for weight management and smoking cessation. Over the years, I’ve also served as a consultant for Scripps Hospital’s Stop Smoking program, taught and consulted for various institutions and clinics, and shared this work through radio and television appearances. 

Following COVID, I transitioned all sessions to Zoom. I quickly discovered that virtual sessions were not only effective, but often even more accessible and impactful for clients. After more than 30 years in a physical office, I chose to fully embrace this format. Today, all sessions are offered virtually, allowing me to work with clients wherever they are.

 Beyond my professional work, community and service have always been deeply important to me. I divide my time between my family, my husband and our nine children, my hypnotherapy practice, travel, and ongoing involvement in charitable organizations.
