Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re continuing our conversation from my previous episode on Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), by talking with one of my brilliant mentors and teachers!

If you listened to my show last week, you heard me say how hypnotherapy has been one of the most significant and effective healing steps that I took to help manage and drastically reduce chronic IBS symptoms.

I also shared how it was all made possible with the help of someone whom I consider to be the “godfather of IBS Hypnotherapy”, the award-winning clinical hypnotherapist, Michael Mahoney - creator of IBS Audio 100!

With over 37 years of experience helping people overcome various physical and emotional challenges, Michael is here to talk with us about all things hypnotherapy and how it can support you in your healing journey, too.

Michael is an acknowledged and internationally recognized specialist in treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other gastrointestinal conditions with hypnotherapy. He also has decades of experience in providing counseling and therapeutic intervention services to medical professionals, the teaching profession, and local authorities.

His work developing innovative health solutions was recognized in 2011 when he was invited to the Queen’s Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. He’s passionate about helping his clients achieve their goals and improve their quality of life.

Are you ready to consider a “new” different way to help physically or mentally heal yourself?

If so, I invite you to join Michael and I for our talk on the healing side of hypnotherapy — this episode may just be the door to the changes or healing you’ve been needing and looking for!
