Dr. Feel
Good

Some hypnotists read a book and hung a shingle. Michael Cain spent a week in Las Vegas with Ormond McGill — The Dean of American Hypnotists — and Jerry Valley, got licensed in 1999, and has spent 25 years performing from grad parties to Fortune 500 stages. He's performed from Florida to Alaska and Las Vegas, and he knows how to read a room.

"I've performed for Fortune 500s and high school auditoriums. Your audience is in good hands."

The show is clean, professional, and suitable for all ages — though it tends to be most appreciated by high school through adult audiences. Every performance is customized to your event and your crowd. Nothing offensive. Nothing that'll make Monday awkward.

What Hypnosis Won't Do

I've been hypnotizing my daughter since she was ten. She's 32 now. Still won't do the dishes. Just so we're clear on the limitations.

Hypnosis doesn't make people do things against their will. I had the CFO of a major tech company on stage once. After the show she told me it was the best corporate event they'd had in years. I suggested — strictly as a joke — that maybe the check could use another zero. She laughed. It did not. Some suggestions don't take.

What it does do is create genuine, memorable, often hilarious experiences that your audience will talk about for years. Volunteers remain fully in control — they just happen to be very, very relaxed about it.

Who Books This Show

Graduation parties, corporate events, colleges and universities, theaters, festivals, team-building events, fraternity and sorority functions, community events, and anyone who wants their guests talking about it for years.

"The psych RN credential is the differentiator. Most hypnosis apps are made by someone with a weekend certificate. This isn't that."

Therapeutic hypnosis works best as part of a broader process — not a magic switch. Michael is honest about that, which is apparently rare in this field. If you've been burned by overblown promises before, you're in the right place.

1-on-1 & Zoom Sessions

Personalized sessions for behavioral change, anxiety management, PTSD support, habit modification, and more. Available in-person in Salem, OR or via Zoom anywhere in the world.

$225 initial session (90–120 min)  ·  $195 follow-up sessions

The Reset — 3 sessions: $595  ·  The Full Protocol — 5 sessions: $975

I work with a maximum of five sessions per issue. If we can't create meaningful, lasting change in that window, I'll tell you honestly — and refer you to someone better suited. That's not a limitation. That's a commitment to your time and your results.

These are honest tools for real behavioral change — not $9.99 apps with stock music and vague promises. Most effective as reinforcement following in-person or Zoom sessions, though many people find them valuable on their own.

Oregon Ghost Conference

Michael facilitates past life regression experiences at the Oregon Ghost Conference circuit — one of the most respected paranormal event platforms in the region. For attendees, it's one of the most memorable sessions of the weekend.

Past Life Regression

Group and individual past life regression sessions. Available at events, conferences, and by appointment via Zoom.

$75 – $150 per person  ·  Group rates available

The Book

Michael has a published book covering his paranormal investigations and experiences with N.O.P.E. Details and purchase link coming soon.

"He's not performing for this crowd — he's one of them."

The Crossover

The paranormal audience and the hypnosis audience overlap more than you'd think. Hypnosis, past life regression, and paranormal investigation are all explorations of the same territory — the edges of what the mind can perceive and experience. Michael operates credibly in all three because he doesn't separate them artificially.

"Some hypnotists read a book and hung a shingle. Michael Cain spent a week in Las Vegas with Ormond McGill — The Dean of American Hypnotists — and Jerry Valley, got licensed in 1999, spent 25 years performing from grad parties to corporate stages to Vegas, and somewhere along the way also became a psychiatric registered nurse and NLP practitioner."

His stage name is Dr. Feel Good. The PhD is from Universal Life Seminary and very much tongue in cheek. The rest of it is completely real.

He also investigates the paranormal with N.O.P.E., facilitates past life regressions at the Oregon Ghost Conference, and genuinely believes hypnosis can change lives — and is honest about exactly when it can and when it can't.

In a field full of overblown promises, that honesty is apparently his most unusual credential.

The Short Version

Michael Cain (no relation) has been hypnotizing audiences from Florida to Alaska and Las Vegas for over 25 years. Trained directly under the legendary Ormond McGill and Jerry Valley, he's a licensed hypnotherapist, psychiatric RN, and NLP practitioner who somehow makes all of that sound like a party. He does.
