Speaking

Between 1993 and 2005 Dr. Kweethai Neill made over 100 presentations at about 85 international, national, regional or state conventions with an emphasis on health education. School food service and nutrition were common themes, but she also spoke on human sexuality & AIDS, disordered eating, communications skills and leadership.


“Dr Kweethai” left academia in 2004, completed certification in clinical hypnotherapy, and founded iHealth Center for Integrated Wellness in 2005. She has continued to share her knowledge and expertise in public forums and professional hypnotherapy conventions. Her emphasis is now the efficacy of hypnotherapy for health and happiness. Related themes include Feng Shui, dowsing, qigong, and energy medicine. She also seeks to help fellow hypnotherapists by addressing best practices in business, mission statement & goal setting, and financial planning.  


Dr Kweethai presented at the ACHE Conference in Glendale, California, from 2005 thru 2008. She presented at the annual IMDHA HypnoExpo Conference in Daytona Beach, Florida, from 2005 thru 2019, and at HynoThoughts Live in Las Vegas from 2013 thru 2018. From 2015 thru the present she has participated in events hosted by the Association of Hypnotherapy Professionals - Malaysia. 

 

The pandemic accelerated Dr Kweethai's transition to semi-retirement. Whereas she once attended several annual conferences, usually doing 2-3 presentations plus workshops ranging from 3 hours to 2 full days, she now commits to fewer conferences, preferring to conduct bespoken trainings over Zoom.
