Over the past 20-years Kerie has been utilizing meditation, imagery and hypnosis. "I’ve learned and quickly understood that using these tools to assist others was my gift".

In 2000, she began evaluating clients for hypnotherapy, taught weight loss and nutrition classes, conducted one-on-one life coaching sessions as well as hypnotherapy sessions for Positive Changes Hypnosis in Northern California.

She was so passionate about her work that in 2004, she was awarded at the Positive Changes Hypnosis Convention – "Outstanding Slenderific/Hypno-Nutrition Coach of the Year".

Kerie had the opportunity to work at 5 different PCH Centers, which allowed her to meet a wide variety of people. Kerie has worked with all ages and have seen/heard many success stories.

By 2004, Kerie had already evaluated and worked with over 3,500 people seeking a personal change. She taught over a hundred group classes and even taught a few classes to my peers. She was soon giving community group presentations as well as individual ones.

In 2005, several clients and coworkers kept encouraging her to go into business for herself. By then she had already developed her own style of hypnotherapy, guided imagery and NLP techniques. Kerie kept hearing from many happy clients, "You have a gift and you can have a center just like this one."

In October 2005, Kerie went public with my website and business Empowered Within.

Kerie has been a personal development trainer for over 10-years, a Clinical Certified Hypnotherapist for over 9-years, and a Certified Guided Imagery Specialist for over 5-years.

Over the past several years, Kerie has worked with doctors, lawyers, judges, teachers, artists, hospice workers, prison guards, survivors, actors, writers, students, nurses, cancer survivors, addicts, therapists, children, seniors, and the list just goes on.

Now she assists people all over the globe, from the U.S., Europe, South America, Canada, China, Russia, Australia, India, Africa, and the list goes on there too.
