Biography
Tommy was exposed to hypnosis as his father, Jerry Valley, had been a stage and clinical hypnotist since 1969. Tommy earned a Bachelors Degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management and worked in that industry until age 27. Then, after trying on different hats, Jerry suggested that Tommy become a hypnotist.

After earning the title of Certified Consulting Hypnotist with the national Guild of Hypnotists, Tommy began helping people make changes at Valley Hypnosis in Methuen, Massachusetts.

Then one day, Jerry asked Tommy to come down to his comedy hypnosis show and be my 'guest stage hypnotist'. Tommy accepted, came on stage during Jerry's performance and did a few hypnotic routines and then went home. After getting his 'feet wet', Tommy began to market his own comedy hypnosis show and the rest is history.

Since then, Tommy has performed for thousands since then. Billed as “Hypnotist Extraordinaire”, he has had many successful tours throughout the United States, Canada, England, Grand Cayman and Iceland.

He was an enormous hit at the West Tennessee State Fair, the Georgia State Fair and in Canada at the Quyon Fair,Quebec, the Fredericton Fair and the Chatham Fair in New Brunswick, and the Hants County Exhibition in Nova Scotia. Tommy regularly appears at the Balsams Grand Resort Hotel in New Hampshire. His credits also include shows at the Indian Head Resort, the Four Seasons Hotel, the Pepsi Bottling Group, Century 21, the Falmouth Yacht Club, the Georgia State Fair, Boston College and the University of Massachusetts.

Tommy has been submitted for nomination in the International Hypnosis Hall of Fame in Blue Bell, PA. He holds a Bachelor of Science Degree with Southern New Hampshire University. Tommy’s hypnotic career began when he became certified in Hypnosis by the National Guild of Hypnotists in 1989. He has trained with famous stage hypnotists Jerry Valley, Ormond McGill, as well as George Bien and a number of other leading hypnotists throughout the country. Tommy, along with Jerry Valley, owns and operates Valley Hypnosis Center, in Methuen, Massachusetts where he has been helping clients overcome addictions such as nicotine, alcohol, overeating and drugs. Recently, he has been working with children afflicted with A.D.D. (Attention Deficit Disorder). He has a very good deal of success with clients in the area of improved memory, athletics and stress control.

Within a few years of becoming a clinical hypnotist, Tom began his stage career and has been doing both successfully since then. Tommy is on the faculty of the Ultimate Stage Hypnosis Seminar which has had several hundred graduates from the USA, Canada, Iceland, Cayman Islands, Singapore, Hong Kong, Mexico, United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, Lebanon, Ireland, and Wales since 1998.
