It was 1983 and Anny lived in the Edmonton area in Alberta, Canada. Anny’s husband was injured at work up north, and a slight incident at the hospital left her sobbing for three days. That is when Anny decided to find out exactly how the mind works, and started formal training to become a Master Hypnotherapist/Clinical Hypnotherapist, a Usui Reiki Master/Teacher and an Energy Worker. What a fascinating journey it has been!
Anny is the founder and Director of The Reiki Training Centre of Canada and the Director of the esteemed Hypnotism Training Institute of Alberta, where she formulates hypnosis and hypnotherapy courses. Anny has also developed and continues to teach the many applications of hypnosis in all its forms and applications.
Supported by an Obstetrician and a Registered Nurse, Anny Slegten developed the program of Hypno-Baby Birthing™ Facilitator Certification.
​
In full time practice since 1984, in 1986 Anny crafted distant Virtual sessions also known as Surrogate or Remote Hypnotherapy sessions, (trance psychic ethical hypnotherapy healing sessions at a distance) to connect with the energy of a person dead or living at any stage of life. With integrity and respect, Anny helps them resolve their issues or simply allows them to explain themselves, facilitating closure.
Six years after deciding to become a hypnotherapist, while taking a course to hone her skills in dealing with intruding energies, Anny spontaneously regressed to a past life where she was a nurse on the front line in World War I. The drawing of a curtain around her husband’s hospital bed for privacy, and some words uttered by a nurse, reminded her subconsciously of a tent mounted on a cart which had been used as emergency surgery room during that war. After having undergone surgery in that tent and not surviving from his injuries a soldier died in Anny’s arms. In his last breath, he said “I wish you could be my wife”.
And so they did, 40 years later. They married in this life on June 1, 1957.
Revisiting that time, she realised there was no screams nor a sound of agony and pain coming from the surgery room under that tent: Yes, the doctor was using hypnosis as anaesthesia! Subconsciously remembering this is most likely the reason she sought and obtained the help of a Medical Doctor to teach hypnosis for local anaesthesia at her school for the HypnoBaby-Birthing™ Facilitator course.
Born in Belgium and raised in the former Belgian Congo from 18 months old to almost 25, Anny was well aware of the ability of the mind – ​our non physical part – to create physical situations. Anny attended a Catholic school run by nuns from an order called Les Dames du Sacré Coeur, in Kalina, an area of Léopoldville (now Kinshasa). The schoolgirls were well-educated and made to understand that any suggestion logic to a person may manifest itself physically, hence Anny’s fascination with the workings of the mind.
The result? A great respect for hypnosis, a powerful tool which helps her clients consciously access subconscious core issues and relieve themselves of mental blocks, allowing them to improve their lives at any level and achieve peace of mind.
What Poppies Mean To Me
In 1917, I died in the Flanders Field where the poppies grow and was born in this life in Ypres, a beautiful city in the Flanders Field. Because of this, I have a very strong connection to poppies.
