You will also discover:  *  The biggest mental mistake we all make. *  How to change the way you feel about anything.  *  How we sabotage our success.

Gary Summers is a professional speaker, magician, hypnotist, hypnotherapist and author having written a trilogy called MINDBODYSOUL dealing with the mental, physical and spiritual sides of wellness. He also is moderator of a popular Facebook group called MINDBODYSOUL where he interviews holistic wellness experts and offers advice on creating life balance and reducing stress.

He has a Master’s Degree in Physiology and certifications in Hypnotherapy from the American Institute of Hypnotherapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy from the National Association of Cognitive Behavior Therapists. Gary has developed a number of school programs.
