Instructor: Nora Hoffmann (Certified Alchemical Hypnotherapy Trainer, Certified Master Money Coach)
“Nora is a skilled Nonviolent Communication Practitioner. I have watched her fearlessly use it to address, and diffuse, difficult situations time and time again. The insight gained from her counsel has helped me tremendously. Nora is also adept at alchemy. Few have delved as deeply into their practice as she has, and her devotion has resulted in some rather astounding perceptive abilities. I have great respect for her, as a woman and as a devoted healer-at-large.“ - Mark Fernquest

Born and raised in Germany, Nora Hoffmann dedicated herself from a young age to securing solid credentials through excellent training and education. Mystically inclined since she was a child, Nora has always known her journey is one of service to others through deeply transformational, proven methods. Nora's background in the arts of soul care originated in her early teens; she embarked on a lifelong journey of self-discovery at the age of 14.
Nora studied psychology, languages and anthropology in Freiburg and later at the Freie Universitaet in Berlin, as well as Integrative Gestalt Therapy at the Integrative Gestalt Training Institute. After graduating from the California Institute of the Arts with an MFA in Music Composition in 1999, she immersed herself in the study and day-to-day application of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and in the years since she’s completed training in Chi Nei Tsang, shamanism and money coaching. (For an introductory video about Nora using alchemical methods specifically in regards to money, click here) She’s counseled couples and operated her own independent financial consulting firm since 2007. She speaks four languages fluently and has studied six more; she is currently learning Hindi, Tibetan and Hebrew.
In 2014 Nora embraced her desire to receive a thorough education in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Alchemical Hypnotherapy, immersing herself in deep personal study, rigorous training, and then interning with her teacher for several years in order to receive her own Instructor certification and credentials.
Nora brings all of her personal and professional experience to her role as Instructor. This includes extensive experience with her own inner guides, who play important roles in every aspect of Nora's life and are present at, and assist with, her training and teaching, and client services.
“Nora Hoffmann happens to be one of my first choices when my teaching needs a refreshing new viewpoint. When the complexity of the material gets confusing she can arrive at the essential point with breathtaking ease and rapidity. As a teacher myself for 40 years, when Nora is in the room I am surprised how often I say to the class, “Yeah, like she says!” Nora is personable, funny and compassionate in her teaching as well.” - David Quigley, creator of Alchemical Hypnotherapy.
In every semester since 2015 Nora has consistently attended professional Hypnotherapy trainings in the role of Professional Training Assistant. And she has also provided professional assisting at multiple stand-alone classes, as well as teaching multiple classes herself, both in person and live online. During her trainings Nora guides new learners through complex protocols, offering them support and ensuring safety guidelines are adhered to. She produces confident and capable graduates and continues to stay in touch with, and mentor, many students after they graduate. In 2018, Nora played a key role in helping David Quigley transition to online teaching, and continues to help train his students and student assistants in all capacities.
Bridges.Academy LLC welcomed Nora as a faculty member in 2018. She is a popular, experienced and well loved instructor of various live online courses in self realization and the art of soul care.
An avid traveler, Nora's current home base now is in the beautiful Himalayan region of northern India where she actively serves local and international clients through her private practice, and teaches new students both in person and live via the internet.

Remarks and testimonials about offerings
Tea leaf reading had been an interest of mine for quite some time and while attending a local retreat there was class being offered. I was expecting the course to be lecture style on how to interpret symbols. I was pleasantly surprised by the instructors approach, she taught us to learn the subtle differences in heart vibration. The heart energy is brought forth in the cup via the leaves, then we learned to ask heartfelt questions and the reader works on sensing the changes in heart vibrations. It was a brilliant way to approach tea leaf reading, and not to mention incredibly effective and loving! The instructor Ms. Nora Hoffmann has discovered a beautiful way of learning about the capabilities of the energy each and everyone of us has within us. Melissa Veeneman, Grand Rapids, Michigan
