Only when we align the wants of the conscious mind with the needs of the subconscious mind do we discover the path unhindered. Andrew graduated from the renowned Hypnosis Motivation Institute with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and advanced studies in behavior modification, neuro-linguistic programming and communications.
