About Susana Padilla, CHt
​
Certified Hypnotherapist • Therapeutic Imagery Master • Wellness Designer
​
From luxury hospitality to deep mind-body healing, Susana Padilla has spent her life helping people feel better—inside and out.
Her journey began on the Pacific Coast, where she worked in hotel management and innkeeping, curating peaceful spaces and meaningful experiences for guests seeking rest. But as she connected with travelers and staff alike, she noticed a deeper hunger: people didn’t just want a vacation. They wanted relief. They wanted peace. They wanted to feel whole again.
That desire to bring lasting well-being to others led her into the world of design—first in physical spaces, and eventually, the inner spaces of the mind.
After studying Interior Design at IDI in Newport Beach, Susana was hired by a firm specializing in hospitality and spas. Yet again, something felt incomplete. People left with beautiful surroundings… but their inner world still needed tending.
​
That’s when she discovered Hypnotherapy.
And everything clicked.
Where she once designed physical retreats, she now guides people into internal sanctuaries—places of clarity, healing, and transformation. Susana graduated with honors from the Hypnosis Motivation Institute, became a Master in Therapeutic Guided Imagery, and was invited to mentor others in this powerful work. Her clinical experience includes over 1,000 hours of hands-on training and operating three hypnotherapy offices across Southern California.
Now based in New Milford, Connecticut, she works with clients across the country and beyond, helping them change behaviors, reclaim peace, and live with deeper intention.
