Susan Worthen McCombs
Susan Worthen McCombs, founder and
president of Bedford Empowerment Center, Bedford, Massachusetts, is a board
certified hypnotherapist who has been working in private practice since
1988. Trained and certified through the National Guild of Hypnotists, Susan is a member of the
National Guild
of Hypnotists, the

In 1994, Susan became a certified sports
coach and now combines her customized clinical therapeutic techniques with
sports psychology to help professionals and serious amateurs reach their
full potential. Susan conducts individual and group hypnosis programs for
people looking to improve their performance in golf, tennis, football,
baseball, and equestrian competitions. She often provides long-distance tele-sessions
to athletes across the country.
Susan chose to develop her Golf
Enhancement Seminar on CD at the suggestion of golfers she was seeing in
private and group sessions. These highly motivated clients were reporting
dramatic success on the course after participating in her golf hypnosis
program. An important key to the success of any self-improvement program is
the willingness of the individual to work toward positive change. Susan
found that golfers (along with other athletes and musical performers) were
her most enthusiastic and hard working participants.
Since founding Bedford Empowerment
Center, Susan has earned a reputation as a dedicated health care
professional whose work is respected by medical, psychiatric, chiropractic,
and emergency personnel around the globe. Susan has consulted with
hospitals, orthopedic specialists, and first responders in emergencies to
help patients and victims cope with pain and minimize bleeding associated
with surgery and traumatic injury. She is an affiliate of a holistic healing
center in Wilmington, Massachusetts where she provides Dr. Paul McLaughlin
with support services in the areas of smoking cessation, weight loss, pain
management, and wellness. She is a former staff hypnotherapist at the
Huggins Center for Holistic Healing and regularly teaches self-hypnosis in
adult education programs, local schools, and hospitals.
Prior to founding the Bedford
Empowerment Center, Susan was a purchasing and sales professional for over
20 years. As Purchasing Manager for International Navigation, Bedford and
Burlington, Massachusetts, she was responsible for all contract negotiations
and procurement of electronic and mechanical components, as well as outside
services needed by the company. Later she became the first Sales Manager for
