Susan Abdinor
For South African hypnotist Susan Abdinor, it's all about Human Perception and Reaction...for her,it's these two mysteries that have been at the root of a lifelong interest in all things mind related.

A Certified Hypnotist with a background in persuasive language, NLP and Ericksonian techniques, She has made it her life's goal to truly understand how the mind works. This passion taken her into explorations of Hypnosis and the multiple uses it has outside of the "normal" recreational and sensual applications.

Mistress Joanne
Mistress Joanne began her professional career as a journalist with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism from Bowling Green State University. After working in the media for several years, she felt that her creative voice as a writer was being squelched. Utterly fascinated by hypnosis since her youth, she spent nearly 20 years educating herself without ever having an outlet for it. During a time of spiritual awakening and self-actualization, she discovered the online erotic hypnosis community in 2000, and her path quickly became clear. Upon learning that there truly were countless others who shared her passion for hypnosis, this is when she realized her life's true calling as a hypnotic seductress. With her true passion ignited, she fully immersed herself in the art, the science and the lifestyle and began to practice hypnosis on a daily basis, exploring hypnotic power exchanges with consenting adults. In 2001, Mistress Joanne started recording hypnotic mp3's ranging in intensity from fantasy exploration/fulfillment to recordings geared for submissive minds truly seeking a profound power exchange. She also began writing "hypnotic poetry", designed to entrance readers and listeners with a decidedly Dominant/submissive slant. Including titles such as "Blue-eyed Seductress" and "Loops of Scarlet Mist", her poetry addressed the hypno-erotic fetish in addition to a plethora of other fetishes. A kinky yet nurturing Hypnoteuse and Domina, Mistress Joanne has dedicated herself to broadening the expanse of sensual art thru her hypnotic creations. Creatively prolific, her online catalog now exceeds 100 uniquely crafted sessions. Go to

Tom Vizinni and Kim McFarland
Kim McFarland and Tom Vizzini have spent the last 15 years taking the complex and making it simple for everyday people to learn and use. They started with the art of unconscious persuasion for every day people. They made skills like Anchoring, Trance, and Rapport simple and powerful. Their background in Hypnosis, NLP, Qi Gong, and Chinese Medicine led them into an interesting place. They started getting powerful personal changes in their persuasion seminars in addition to what the participants came for. This lead them to the development of the 3D Mind™. The 3D Mind™ is very simple to learn, understand, and use in a very short period of time. It is based on one powerful yet simple concept. The 3D Mind™ operates on the principle of associated emotional states. There are no patterns and there are no programs. There are associations and results from those associations. These associations create an environment not a program. If someone is out of balance and is primarily in the creative/adaptive area of the brain, they tend to be lazy and unmotivated. The primal brain is a movement initiator and without it there is no movement. If someone is primarily in the reptilian/primal brain, the person's reactions depend directly on the input of the moment. The reactions are unpredictable and unreasoned. The creative/adaptive part of the brain is a problem solver. Without it all decisions are emotionally based. There is constant movement but no steering. These are structural environments not strategies. The 3D Mind™ deconstructs the associated states that are causing a problem, and balances them so that the creative/adaptive and the primal/reptilian parts of the brain work together. For the past several years they have been consulting with Dr. Ken Guiffre, author of Care and Feeding of the Brain. He has a youtube presentation on how
the physical brain generates emotional drivers. Kim and Tom have traveled the world teaching people to free themselves using the 3D Mind™. The results have been astounding. People with little or no experience or training have been able to transform their lives using the 3D Mind™. The best part is that people can do it for themselves. Other products that they have produced are Interview Magic, Magical Rapport, Anchoring and other Sneaky Stuff, Covert Verbal Communication, and a very successful membership site with monthly video seminars.
