I am a graduate of Orca Institute going on 15 years now. I am a in private practice and have great respect and gratitude for all the care and attention I received at Orca and continue to enjoy. This is a very thorough course and is stringently monitored through all aspects of the training. Over the years I have gone back to Sheldon Bilsker, the founder and operator, with questions and requests for help. He has always been there for me and has gone far and beyond in his support over the years. I highly recommend this hypnotherapy school.

I joined Orca Institute to take the Counselling Hypnotherapy Course just over one year ago.This is a distance learning course for me. Sheldon and Diane have been great support and very helpful. The weekend classes have been a wealth of information and very motivating. Sheldon has been very helpful with encouragement and very prompt with answering emails and questions. I am really enjoying meeting like minded people through this course. I would have to say that Sheldon and Diane are top in their fields. Thank you. I am sure that after completing this course, I will have the opportunity to stay in touch and continue to receive their support.
