About the Founder

Hi I’m Fauziah Shah. I believe in the body’s natural ability to heal. I believe that this coupled with divine power that an individual has access to can aid many people move towards wellness and health. I believe that whatever healing modality is used should take into account this crucial factor. And this is the main reason why I have pursued this profession of hypnotism and related healing arts.

Fauziah believes in the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Thousands of people, children as well as adults, have benefited from my passion in this field. Realizing that there are many people out there who need our help, and not enough hypnotherapists to go round, I became a Hypnosis Trainer and started training only the more serious, qualified and mature individuals to become Certified Hypnotherapists while maintaining a private practice. Hence I keep my training classes small and attract only those who’re meant to do this work.

Fauziah is passionate in what she does.

I graduated from the National University of Singapore with a Bachelors degree in English and History with a minor in Political Science in 1987.I also graduated from the same university with a Masters degree in English studies in 1991. My research focused on the language acquisition of children and also how to help some children progress in their linguistic skills despite their learning disabilities. Before I became a hypnotherapist, I was a school teacher with the Ministry of Education, Singapore. Having the potential to do more for society in a private capacity, I resigned from mainstream teaching and set up a private language school called Petra Education Centre in 1997. The school is registered with the Ministry of Education and is also accredited by Case Trust. The school’s curriculum caters to the needs of local as well as foreign students. I also created a Phonics program to help students read, write and spell effectively. It’s called Petra Phonics. For many years I ran a reading, writing and spelling clinic for children. Even today I am popularly sought by parents for this purpose.

Fauziah has so much to offer.

Having dealt with the academic achievement of students, both children and adults for many years, I realized the importance of mental and emotional stability and well being. I found that students who are emotionally stable perform better than those saddled with emotional challenges. That was when I started looking for ways to enhance my ability to help the students not only academically but also mentally and emotionally. That began my journey into the field of hypnotism at the turn of the century.

What got Fauziah ‘hooked onto’ Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy!

I am grateful to Cal Banyan who was my first formal instructor in hypnotism. Now I represent Cal in Singapore by teaching his brand of hypnotism the 5 PATH & 7th Path way. I appreciate Cal for his many contributions to the field of hypnotherapy. After my initial and thorough training (I did it three times with Cal), I received numerous other training from other well known trainers: Dr George Bien, Dr Zaitun, Dr Michael Robertson, Paul Rushton, Dr Ashok Jain, Richard Harte, Mickey Mongan, Maggie Phillips, Bert Hellinger, Richard Gordon, Stephen MacCarthy, Michael Gerber, Ron Eslinger, Roy Hunter, G Saravanan, Peter Mabbut, Bill Frost. This list is not exhaustive.

I have to especially mention that George Bien is the most approachable and humble trainer I have ever met. Some of my trainers are now my friends like Dr Zaitun, George, Dr Ashok, Cal and Reiki Master Saravanan (Velu). And one of them, Velu, has gone on to do three of my Hypnosis Trainings, the NGH Certification, the Banyan Super Course and the IACT Certification. So this proves that we are all student and teacher at the same time.

Fauziah was trained by the best in the field.

I am trained not only in 5 PATH & 7th Path, I am also trained in General Hypnotherapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Counseling, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, HypnoBirthing, Systemic and Family Constellations, Trauma and Somatic Healing, Energy Psychology, Reiki, Quantum Touch, Advanced Theta Healing DNA, Security and Risk Management and many others. What I constantly do is to integrate all that I have learnt into a meaningful and effective system that works all the time. I take all that is good in what I have learnt, modify them and then use them in my sessions with my client. I use 5 PATH & 7th Path in many cases. 7th Path® is a mind, body, spirit form of self-hypnosis that has been specially designed to complement 5 PATH® hypnotherapy. I also use NGH and IACT/ IMDHA techniques which are needed in many cases too.

Fauziah believes in increasing the tools in her toolbox.

I work with people using waking hypnosis by reframing my client’s issues and counseling them. And when I need to collapse challenges and remove blockages stemming from programming from the past, I believe doing hypnotherapy is the best option. I can then directly access the subconscious mind to effect the necessary changes at this level. I use 5 PATH and 7th Path Hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy is indeed a safe, effective and practical way to work with the mind. When necessary, I use other healing modalities as well such as EFT and energy healing. The main ingredient in all these modalities is LOVE and I fervently believe in the healing power of Love.

Fauziah believes in the healing power of LOVE!

Almost everyone in every walk of life can benefit from doing hypnosis and hypnotherapy with me and also other therapeutic modalities that are offered at our centre. I have worked with a number of challenges like fear of public speaking, fear of heights, other irrational fears, bad habits like smoking or nail biting, relationship issues, concentration and focusing challenges, pain management, sleeping challenges, and many more. I have coached people to reframe their thought patterns, to manage their emotions, to relieve stress and to create abundance in their lives. There is no end to the possibilities available in the use of hypnosis and other healing modalities for well being.

Thousands of people have benefited from doing hypnotherapy/ healing with us.

After seeing clients out of my language centre for a couple of years, I registered my business with ACRA as Petra Hypnosis & Training Centre at Pandan Valley. Subsequently this was renamed Petra Hypnosis & Training Centre Pte Ltd. More than a year ago, I registered a new business name with ACRA, Advanced Institute of Complementary Healthcare at No. 10 Marshall Road. Recently our institute was moved to our new address at 203-A Goldhill Centre, Thomson Road, a more easily accessible location for most people. And now I have privatized this business; the new business name is Advanced Institute of Complementary Healthcare (AICH) Pte Ltd or in short AICH Pte Ltd. This is to take my practice to the next level and to incorporate other healing modalities under one roof. Not only are other therapists able to work together with me now but clients who see us can also benefit from this partnership.
