Jithendran Sellamuthu
A Journey of Purpose
Jithendran Sellamuthu, C.MH., is a Certified Master Hypnotist and senior student at Hypnosis Motivation Institute (HMI), a nationally accredited college of hypnotherapy in the United States. His passion is helping people work with subconscious patterns that may be keeping them stuck and supporting lasting, meaningful change.
Before dedicating himself to hypnotherapy, Jithendran spent 30+ years building technology platforms at the highest level — including a $500M/year carrier-grade communication platform at Qualcomm serving 40 million users, and leading engineering for Amazon's compliance SaaS platform at six-nines reliability. That career gave him a systems-level perspective on how patterns form, why habits persist, and how guided hypnotherapy can support change at a deeper level of focus.
The name VRishi carries his philosophy: VR reflects immersive technologies he is exploring for future self-improvement experiences, and Rishi reflects the ancient sages who understood that consciousness is the foundation of transformation. His approach integrates HMI training with the Theory of Mind — meeting each client exactly where they are.
“The subconscious mind is not your enemy. It is your oldest protector — running patterns it learned before you had words for them. Our work is to update those patterns with compassion.”
Areas of Focus
Some goals may require work in coordination with a licensed physician, dentist, or psychologist through referral, where applicable. Hypnotherapists are not licensed by the state as healing arts practitioners.
