Advanced Course
HOW PRE-BIRTH TRAUMA AFFECTS LIFE
May 2-4, 2025

On days 2-4 of the Advanced Course, as the title suggests, this year’s conference is about demonstrating a complete age regression back to the prenatal experience. We will demonstrate how reliving the emotional experience during an age regression will lead to resolving and replacing the initial trauma with a new positive reframing. This year’s master training analyst, Dr David Leistikow, has over 40 years of experience in the field of trauma resolution through hypnosis and age regressions. The critical theories supporting the evidence-based Hypnoanalysis modality will also be explored. Watch for more details on specific presentations.

The Master Training Analyst is Dr. David Leistikow. A native of the Iowa farmlands, he enjoys the country and farming lifestyle in beautiful Colorado. He graduated from the University of Iowa Medical School and is Board-Certified in Family Medicine, Holistic Medicine, and Brief Psychotherapy under Hypnosis.

Dr. Leistikow founded the Brief Psychotherapy Institute of the Rockies with Dr. John Scott and Debbie Holliday.

David enjoys teaching and holds faculty instructor positions with the University of Colorado and the Deepak Chopra Meditation Centers. As a pilot, he enjoys flying planes. He uses his body and mind medicine to sustain a happy and healthy lifestyle as a tri-athlete in his spare time. He is married to Dr. Kandel, and they have three grown children.
