Our Founder

As a result of healing herself of irritable bowel syndrome and fibromyalgia using hypnosis, Melissa Roth founded Alabama Hypnotherapy Center, located in Birmingham, AL, in 1995 and has specialized in medical applications of hypnotherapy.  She has developed a number of unique approaches to chronic illnesses which have become the treatments of choice worldwide.  She partners with physicians of every specialty to promote hypnosis as an important and valuable tool in the medical toolbox.  She has a conversational teaching style that is sometimes heretical,  sometimes funny, but always informative.  In a sense, she teaches from experience.

Melissa J. Roth CHt., PhD(c) is CEO and Founder of Alabama Hypnotherapy Center and Hypnosis Associates. She is a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and is a PhD candidate through the American Pacific University. She is certified by the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners and the American Board of Hypnotherapy.  She is currently a member of American Council of Hypnotist Examiners, International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association, International Association of Counselors and Therapists and the National League of Medical Hypnotherapists.

Melissa's hypnotherapy programs are available in four formats: individuals, small groups, custom CDs and tapes, and telephone consultations. In addition, she conducts a wide variety of seminars and corporate workshops at selected locations across the U.S. Each year she speaks at numerous professional conferences.
