Meet Zhi Yang
Certified Hypnotherapist & Trainer in Antwerp
Over the years, I’ve worked with hundreds of clients, individuals and couples, supporting them through relationship challenges, emotional patterns, chronic stress, physical discomforts, and patterns that shape daily life.
I’m also the first Chinese-language trainer authorized to teach the Simpson Protocol — something I’m grateful to share with clients and students around the world.
How My Journey Started
My passion for hypnosis began over a decade ago through self-study. I spent years reading case studies and books in both Chinese and English, driven by a curiosity about the subconscious and its role in healing.In 2021, I began formally studying the Simpson Protocol Hypnotherapy. That experience opened the door to a second identity in my life — as a hypnotherapist. It was transformative in the deepest sense, like breaking out of a shell and seeing myself and the world with a new level of clarity.
My Background & Personal Growth
I grew up in China and I moved to Belgium to pursue a master’s degree in Product Innovation and Entrepreneurship at UAMS, and I’ve made Belgium my home ever since. After graduating, I worked for many years in the trading field. It was stable, familiar, and structured, but something in me kept searching for work that touched deeper layers of life.
In 2022, I became a certified hypnotherapist in Simpson Protocol and began supporting clients around the world. This quickly became my passion. I witnessed how effective, precise, and holistic this method can be, and how people transformed in ways that felt natural and internally guided.
Later, I was honored to be personally authorized by the creation of this method, Ines Simpson — my mentor and someone I deeply admire — to become the first Chinese trainer for this method. It means a great deal to me, as it allows me to bring this work to more Chinese-speaking clients and students globally. The training program in Chinese is available here.
My Work Today
I remain committed to continuous learning: reading, practicing, refining my skills, and collaborating with hypnotherapists around the world. This work continues to deepen my understanding of the mind and strengthen my dedication to supporting others with clarity, precision, and care.
