Tampa FL Hypnotist Arrested for Posing as a Doctor

"Sandra Rovhana had all the makings of a doctor. She's well-spoken, intelligent and armed with framed certificates from various institutes. She even has a quiet, calming voice and a remarkable capacity to listen intently. But, she's not a doctor. She doesn't even have a degree."

Elsa Stokes. Bay Harbor Islands, FL, Fake PhD

We were alerted to this lady today. If you want to become a "Certified Angel DNA Health Practitioner," you should go see her. We thought only organic elements contained DNA. Who would have known that Angels do, too?

Perhaps she holds a doctorate in Angel Biology. But we don't know, since she is elusive with regard to what her doctorate is in or where it was earned.

By the way, she is also a "Professional Medium, Angel Therapy Practitoner, Angel Theta Healing Practitioner, Reiki Master, Shamanic Practitoner, Ordained Minister, Spiritual Teacher and Speaker."

Those credentials should speak for themselves.

Denis Brady - Ocala, Deland, Florida - Multiple Fake PhDs

Denis Brady, Dennis Brady, or D.A. Brady, of The National Board of Professional and Ethical Standards (yes, we were laughing as we wrote that since an unethical scam artist is the operator), claims to have earned a doctorate in Clinical Hypnotherapy. Readers of our blog know that no such degree exists. He is supposedly the proprietor of the Volusia Health Center in Deland, Florida. However, we can't find any such website.

He also claims to have earned a doctorate in Education and also in Business Administration. Wow, that's a lot of doctorates. Of course, he fails to state where his doctorates we earned. We believe they are just as legitimate as the Clinical Hypnotherapy doctorate.

Patti Scott, Patricia Scott, Palm Harbor, FL - FAKE Doctorate

We thank Scott Sandland and his HypnoThoughts Live for this referral as well. Patti Scott, aka Patricia Scott, of Unlimited Possibilities Hypnosis, Inc. in Palm Harbor, FL claims to have earned a PhD in Behavioral Science (Major-Hypnosis) "with" Alpha University. Read here about the diploma mill known as Alpha University: http://fakedoctorate.blogspot.com/2012/12/alpha-university-degree-mill.html

Patti joins the ranks of Terence Watts, Roy Hunter, and Patti Conklin...all who have fraudulently claimed to have earned doctorates from there. Welcome to the FAKE DEGREE CLUB, Patricia Scott.

Degree Mill = No Degree = No Doctorate

Oh how elusive Patti is. We found another source that says she earned a B.S. in Clinical Hypnotherapy and is a PhD Candidate with American Pacific University.

And here we have yet another degree mill. See http://fakedoctorate.blogspot.com/2012/11/known-diploma-mills-resource-guide.html

Once again:

Degree Mill = No Degree = No Doctorate

"Dr." Vijah Shah - Florida FAKE DOCTORATE Hypnotist & NLP "Teacher"

Vijay Shah, of Advanced Breakthrough Inc. in Doral Florida is another king of scam artistry. On his website, he writes, "In 2009, he received his Doctorate in Clinical Hypnotherapy – this one is for my wife, Smita – 'I could not have done it without your support and inspiration!'" Now, I don't know if his wife is aware of this or not, but there is no such degree anywhere in the world. He also, very conveniently, leaves that part out. Some people like to mentioned some sort of "non-accredited" doctoral program, but Shah just likes to leave the potential fool for a client or student guessing. Shah claims to be a member of the Time Line Therapy Association, the American Board of Neurolinguistic Programming, and the American Board of Hypnotherapy. I don't know about the first organization there, but the last two are the same "organization" and are about as shady as the photograph that they posted on their website. Would you really want to give your money to THIS guy? This guy who claims that he can help you TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE?

Hey Shah -why not change the name of your company to Advanced Ripoff, Inc.?
