including speaking at the United Nations Enlightenment Society and numerous
hypnotherapy conferences. David speaks about his program:
"Since I created Alchemical Hypnotherapy in 1983, over 2000 students have graduated from our institute as professional hypnotherapists from all over the world. There have also been over a dozen hypnosis programs opened nationwide based on the Alchemy system of training. I am excited to connect with my students during their struggle to learn this complex technology and watch them succeed in their personal and professional lives. Just the other day, I met one of my recent graduates by chance at the local video store. She was pleased to share with me how her session rate has climbed to $120 per session. She was so excited about her new calling. That is what makes my training and my life worthwhile."
I am grateful to my inner guides for a life of fulfillment, joy, and insight. I hope that you too can experience the life-changing power of Alchemy."
David is available for private hypnotherapy sessions either in person or by phone.

Born in Switzerland in 1948, Brigitta D'Amato grew up in a small village less than an hour's walk from the homes of renowned therapists CG Jung and Elisabeth Kuebler-Ross.
After a traditional European education, which force-fed her brain and left her heart hungry, she ran off into the world. In retrospect, Brigitta is clear that she lived, loved and worked on five continents in desperate starvation for 'the meaning of life' and ideally, her authentic self. Little did she know that after years of trial and error, deep inquiry into most world religions plus Primal (and non-primal) Therapy, she would end up being the very therapist and facilitator she had been looking for!
In 1995, Brigitta became a Certified Clinical and Alchemical Hypnotherapist and has enjoyed teaching with and for David Quigley for over a dozen years.
Brigitta is more than an exuberant teacher and passionate motivational speaker who imparts information to the Brain - she is that rare breed of facilitator who leads her students and participants to their own "Inner Wisdom" and thus anchors information in their Hearts.
After all, Brains can forget - Hearts do not!
"Of course you need to know intellectually," she concedes, "but that alone will never make anyone a great therapist. The true 'Healing Energy' resides in the Heart, and that is the only place where life-liberating therapy work is done." Brigitta is a firm knower that your life is only as good as your relationship with your many inner selves. She has devoted her life to opening up her clients to their hidden Treasure Chest and unmasking their authentic Greatness!
P.S. Brigitta’s husband of 27 years, George Richard D'Amato, was utterly inspired by Brigitta's tangible transformations after her "Quigley Training". A retired international Banker, he followed in her footsteps and became not only a gifted Hypnotherapist but also the co-facilitator of their Empowerment Worth-Shops.

Rabia has been in private practice and teaching since 1983. She customizes her approach to each client’s needs. Out of her commitment to her own spiritual awakening, Rabia assists clients in going beyond their conditioned identity. Currently, she practices in Monterey, California. To those wishing to understand her work, Rabia says, "My life and work are about being in the moment, free of fear and the feeling of separation. Deep joy is a natural outgrowth of this process As we explore the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies they come into alignment, allowing us to step back into who we are. When enough of the conditioned responses to life have peeled off, two things remain: ecstasy and stillness…”
