Prior to 1992, Patti spent 20 years as a professional singer, actor, dancer and published songwriter.  Her diverse career included everything from Opera to Country Music, and Musical Comedy to TV Sitcoms.  She performed with the Opera Repertory Company of New York while studying with world renowned Baritone, Richard Fredericks, and has performed with Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings, Randy Travis, Jim Ed Brown, Ronnie Dove, Nat Stuckey, Johnny Paycheck, Jerry Wallace and others.  She toured and recorded albums in the 1970’s with “The Nashville Impact” and recorded original songs with Vince Gill, Kathy Matea, Dave Gibson and others in the 1980’s. She was a professional songwriter in Nashville for “Warner-Chappel Music” (The Oak Ridge Boys Publishing Co.) and her song “Congratulations” was released by Reba McEntire.  She has extensive stage, TV and film credits and has had numerous articles published throughout her career.  During her Show Biz years Patti used meditation, self-hypnosis and imagery to visualize and actualize her goals, overcome nerves and creative blocks, memorize lines, keep her weight under control, and get into character for her roles.

So, how does a professional entertainer become interested in hypnosis?  In fact, Patti has studied hypnosis and the power of the mind since the early 1970’s.  After a devastating back injury at age 19, a doctor read her a long list of activities she would NEVER be able to do in her life.  Having a natural instinct about her body’s ability to heal itself she set out on a quest to prove the doctor wrong, studying mind-body medicine, hypnosis, yoga, nutrition, and taking supplements and doing weight-training to strengthen her spine and improve her immune system.  Her determination paid off and she fulfilled her childhood dream for the next 20 years in show business.

Since being Certified in Hypnotherapy in 1992, Patti has used her unique experience, energy, talent and enthusiasm to inspire and educate others in private and group training, convention seminars, keynote addresses, and in articles, books and CDs on her system of “Mind/Body Cohesion©”.  She enjoys teaching others how to use the power of the mind to achieve their highest potential, overcome obstacles and explore life’s Unlimited Possibilities!

Watch, as Patrica V. Scott discusses "Pivotal Response Conditioning" or "PRC",
a term she coined when developing her system of "Mind-Body Cohesion".
