United by a Shared Mission to Serve Those Who Have Served

After the Action Healing Foundation was founded by Annie Damato and Scott Blaise, whose combined experience, personal journeys, and passion for helping others inspired a shared mission: to provide military veterans with access to compassionate, trauma-informed clinical hypnotherapy at no cost.

Scott's journey into clinical hypnotherapy began more than a decade ago after discovering the profound potential of the subconscious mind to create lasting change. With a background in health and wellness, he founded Imagination Hypnotherapy, which grew from a home office into a thriving clinical practice that has helped thousands of individuals overcome anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, fears, pain, and other life-limiting challenges through evidence-informed clinical hypnotherapy.

Annie brought more than two decades of leadership and client-focused experience in financial services, along with a deeply personal understanding of grief, resilience, caregiving, and life's unexpected challenges. Her own experiences reinforced a passion for helping others heal and a belief that emotional wellness should be accessible to everyone, especially those who have dedicated their lives to serving others.

Together, Annie and Scott co-founded the Imagination Institute of Hypnotherapy, where they educate and mentor future clinical hypnotherapists in ethical, trauma-informed, client-centered care.

As their clinical work expanded, they recognized a common thread among many of the military veterans they served. Long after their service had ended, many continued to carry the invisible effects of trauma, chronic stress, hypervigilance, anxiety, and disrupted sleep. Witnessing the meaningful progress that many clients experienced through clinical hypnotherapy inspired them to create something even greater.

That vision became After The Action Healing Foundation.

Today, the Foundation exists to remove financial barriers by providing sponsored clinical hypnotherapy treatment plans to eligible military veterans. Every participant receives compassionate, individualized care designed to support emotional healing, nervous system regulation, resilience, and renewed hope.

Together, Annie and Scott remain committed to honoring those who have served by ensuring that no veteran is denied access to care because of financial circumstances.

Our mission is simple: to serve those who have served, one healing journey at a time.
