With professional success in the music and entertainment industries, Chuck Kelly fulfilled another lifelong ambition when he took Dr. Finzi's hypnotherapy course at Long Beach Community Hospital in January 1986 to become a Certified Hypnotherapist. While still writing and editing books, Chuck began his hypnotherapy practice in Long Beach, California. Always eager to learn more, Chuck took another hypnosis course from the American Institute of Hypnotherapy in December 1989 for his second certification. Being a writer with an understanding of the value of hypnosis, Chuck wanted to write a book to help others help themselves through self-hypnosis. Viola! The Little Book about Self-Hypnosis was born. Chuck has a Master's Degree in Communication from International College. In 2017 Chuck was awarded the Marquis Who's Who Lifetime Achievement Award for 20 consecutive years' listing in a Marquis Who's Who publication.
