Our Founder

Mari Vasan is the founder of MindGift.org. Mari has been a life coach since 2013 and a HypnoCoach since 2014 (HypnoCoaching combines coaching with the “magic” of hypnosis to rapidly accelerate change). She has been studying psychology and human behavior for 30 years. Mari has learned from some of the best in the transformation industry, including John Overdurf, Melissa Tiers, Kelly Woods, Michael Watson, The Coaches Training Institute, Strategic Intervention Coaching, the Robbins-Madanes Institute, Tony and Sage Robbins, Laura King of Summit Hypnosis, and many more. Mari specializes in helping midlife women who are exhausted, drained, and feeling like the best of their life is over, to get their energy and radiance back and make the second half of their lives even better than the first.

​

Giving back is important to Mari. For that reason, she founded MindGift.org. The mission of MindGift is to draw upon top talent in coaching, hypnosis, and trauma treatment, and offer free resources to those who are suffering in any capacity. Mari is a board certified hypnotherapist through the International Association of Counselors and Therapists. She is a member of the American Board of Hypnotherapy and the National Guild of Hypnotists. She is also a Certified Stress Management Consultant and certified in Rapid Transformational Therapy.

​Mari enjoyed a lot of success in finance before she entered into coaching. She was a Chartered Financial Analyst and a highly ranked equity analyst for many years before serving as a Managing Director, and co-head of U.S. equity research for Deutsche Bank in New York City. She retired from Wall Street in 2000 so that she and her husband could start a family.

P.S. It's Mari with an "i" but pronounced like "Mary."
