Today we’d like to introduce you to Tambra Eifert.
Tambra, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
For many years and with several degrees, I was educated in geology, with a Ph.D. (doctorate), being the highest degree for my studies in the field of geology. I taught at various universities, and the last employer for my academic work was at a university in the Topeka area. After teaching geology courses for fifteen years at the university, my contract unexpectedly cancelled due to the administrative staff determining that the geology courses I taught were no longer needed for the various degree programs offered. I wasn’t ready to retire, and so I decided to enroll into two different schools of hypnosis. One was for stage and/or group hypnosis, and the other was for clinical hypnotherapy. Within a year, I received my two certifications, which required several challenging exams and practice sessions, In January of 2025, I opened for business my Mindful Pathways office at College Park Office Suites, 2611 SW 17th Street, Topeka, KS 66604. So, to make a long story short, I went from academia to the healing arts; and I must say, that I find it very rewarding to assist and gently guide others in their wellness endeavors. Since my practice began, I have found that in the pursuit of personal growth and success, individuals often seek guidance and support to navigate challenges, overcome obstacles, and unlock their full potential. And while traditional approaches such as therapy and counseling have their merits, the integration of hypnotherapy, spiritual life coaching, and intuitive energy healing offers a holistic and empowering pathway to transformation. Although, in-person therapy sessions is most beneficial, I do offer virtual meetings as well for those living outside of the Topeka area. I am also a certified Reiki Master and Teacher and provide chakra balancing and energy work at my office for those needing such healing services.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Initially, my struggle was having to leave the university and start all over again. I truly did enjoy teaching geology, so it was quite disappointing for me to end my career as a geology professor. And, as a person in my sixties, I found that not too many universities want to risk hiring someone full-time when there is the potential for them to retire early. To top it off, I only received 4 months of unemployment. This was a challenge for me because I have always relied on employers to pay me for my services. So, there were many obstacles to overcome as I began creating my own business as an entrepreneur. I needed to earn money, but at the same time, I needed to spend a lot of money to get started with my practice. I needed a quiet place, where my clients and I would not be disturbed during the hypnosis sessions.
I must say, that advertising is very crucial when starting a business from the ground level and up. Hypnotherapy sessions can cost a client anywhere from $175 to $350 per session, and at this present time, insurance companies do not cover such services. So, I chose to charge a lower fee of just $70 per session, and at times, I offer a discounted price of $55 a session for any given month. This makes hypnotherapy more affordable for those with a limited income, and it gives them the opportunity to seek help, guidance, and support.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
My specialization is effective. So the mind is a very powerful part of our being. There are two levels of consciousness: the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The conscious mind is our every day-thinking, decision-making, and judgement-making calls. It is the part of our mind that is conscious of what is taking place in our everyday world. The subconscious is the hidden part of our mind that can begin developing at a very young age and continue on all throughout our lifetime. Negative programming, which is always false programming, comes from various sources, and this can cause the subconscious mind to believe that the false programming is very much true. Having such negative/false programming within the subconscious mind can cause many problems, such as fears, addictions, unhealthy habits, weight gain or loss, depression, and so much more.
By guiding the client into a light trance, I can give their conscious mind permission to relax and allow their subconscious mind to receive positive programming about themselves. First I remove the negative programming, and second, I introduce the positive programming to their subconscious mind. Note that my clients are always in control and that we work together as a team during a hypnosis session. This is very effective in helping clients move forward in their lives, remove various blockages and bad habits, and begin to heal on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level.
Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
Mentors can be very beneficial, providing that they are not operating on an Ego level. I recommend that individuals research different healing modalities, which can include spiritual and life coaching for guidance. However, if an individual should feel the need to seek one-on-one mentoring, I recommend they seek someone who is expertise or knowledgeable in their field, enthusiastic in sharing, and have a respectful attitude toward others.
