Her Story

Rena’s journey into hypnotherapy began when her mother in Japan was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. While doctors gave her six months to three years to live, her mother lived seven more vibrant years —fueled by a powerful mindset and positive attitude. That experience led Rena to explore the mind-body connection and ultimately dedicate her life to helping others heal.

Before becoming a hypnotherapist, Rena taught yoga and breathwork, guiding students in improving both physical and mental wellness —skills she still integrates into her work today.

Advanced Training & Credentials

Rena’s hypnosis education and clinical approach have been deeply shaped by her primary mentor, Commander Ron Eslinger (USN Ret., CRNA, BCH, CI)—a globally recognized leader in Pain Management Hypnosis and founder of Healthy Visions Wellness Center in Tennessee. Under his guidance, she completed advanced pain management training and graduated from the National Guild of Hypnotists’ “Train the Trainer” program, which Ron personally taught.

She is a Certified Hypnotist and Certified Instructor through the National Guild of Hypnotists, and a registered Hypnotherapist in the state of Washington. Rena is also a graduate of the American School of Clinical Hypnosis International, further strengthening her foundation in clinical and therapeutic hypnosis.

In addition, Rena earned her certifications as a 5-PATH® Hypnotherapist and 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® Teacher—having trained through Cal Banyan’s system at the Banyan Hypnosis Center in Dallas, Texas and been mentored by Erika Flint at Cascade Hypnosis Center in Washington.

She holds Eutaptics® Practitioner Certification (Levels 1 & 2)—a method integrating hypnosis, NLP, and meridian tapping. Rena also completed advanced training in child and teen hypnotherapy with expert Lynda Hudson from the First Way Forward Centre in the United Kingdom.

Business Foundation

Before entering the wellness field, Rena built a strong background in business administration. As an Administrative and Sales Manager in her father’s company, she led recruitment, staff development, and operations—creating systems that worked and ensuring compliance with industry standards.

Philosophy & Client Approach

Rena founded New Leaf Hypnosis Center to offer a compassionate, results-oriented alternative to traditional therapy. Her approach begins with understanding how the mind works—and guiding clients toward sustainable, empowered change.

“Focus on what’s working.”

Her sessions are not just hypnosis—they’re an experience in self-awareness, practical tools, and deep healing. Clients learn how to cope, reframe, and shift—not only releasing the problems they carry, but also leaving with lifelong skills that give them control over their future.
