A practical system for creating powerful guided meditations and hypnosis sessions
with Joe Kao.
What makes one hypnosis or guided meditation session genuinely effective, while another simply sounds good?
For over twenty years, Joe Kao has been answering that question in practice. As head writer for one of the world’s leading hypnotherapy audio platforms, his work has been used by millions of people worldwide. It is very possible that Joe has written more hypnosis sessions than anyone else currently working in the field.
In this eight-week online masterclass, Joe shares the personal system he has developed for designing hypnosis and guided meditation sessions that reliably engage attention, evoke experience, and support meaningful change.
This is not something Joe has previously taught in this form.
If you're interested in creating your own hypnosis audios or guided meditations, this course will give you an effective structure to help with almost any problem or goal.
And yes, these same principles can also be used when working in person with clients.
Watch Joe discuss the masterclass
At its core, this masterclass is about learning how to think when you are writing hypnosis.
Rather than offering templates to copy or scripts to memorise, Joe breaks down how effective sessions are constructed and why they work. You will learn how to design sessions that feel natural, coherent, and compelling, while still being flexible enough to adapt to different goals, clients, and contexts.
The emphasis throughout is on structure, sequencing, and language choices that guide attention smoothly and purposefully. The aim is to give you a reliable internal framework that allows your own creativity and style to emerge, rather than forcing you into a fixed formula.
Although the course is centred on writing hypnosis audios and guided meditations, the principles taught extend well beyond recordings.
Across the eight weeks, the training explores:
Alongside this, you will develop greater confidence in generating hypnotic language in your own voice, rather than relying on stock phrases or borrowed styles.
While this masterclass focuses on scriptwriting, many practitioners find that writing is one of the fastest ways to sharpen their live work.
The same structure Joe uses for recordings maps directly onto effective one-to-one sessions. Learning how to sequence a process, evoke resources, work with imagery, and bring change forward in time provides a clear framework you can hold in mind when working live with clients.
In recordings, the structure is universal. In live sessions, it becomes personalised, shaped around the client’s language, memories, and metaphors.
For many participants, the course offers a double benefit: a system for creating high-quality audios, and a practical blueprint for more coherent, confident live sessions.
This is an eight-week online masterclass.
The live sessions are designed to support integration and clarity, rather than to introduce entirely new material.
The first weekly video content will be released on 11th May with weekly updates up to 29th June.
Three live Q&A sessions with Joe Kao are included as part of the training:
Each session will run for approximately 75 minutes.
Questions can be submitted in advance, and there will also be time for live discussion during each session.
In addition to the core video modules, the course includes a distinctive extra element.
Weekly Reinforcement Audios. In addition to the main video content, each week Joe will provide short guided audio reviews that reinforce key principles experientially, using hypnotic patterns to teach hypnotic patterns. These audios offer an additional way to absorb the material and see the principles in action.
Bonus videos on voice use and making recordings. Whilst the focus of the training is on scriptwriting, there will also be optional bonus content covering practical considerations such as voice use and recording fundamentals for those who wish to create audio recordings. These are provided as support material rather than as the core focus of the course.
Support. Joe will be available to review scripts throughout the course should you want to get his feedback.
This training is designed for:
You do not need to be an expert in hypnotic language to benefit. Essential principles are covered in a way that supports newer practitioners, while remaining engaging and useful for those with more experience.
