Alaina McMurtry

 Simple. But Not Easy.

You have multiple degrees. A framed certificate on your office wall. Twenty years of being the most prepared person in the room and one of the last to be heard. You have practiced your face in your car at 7:51 in the morning. You have watched your idea come back to you in someone else's mouth, and smiled, and helped them sell it. You have been told you have too much executive presence and not enough — in the same career, by different people, neither of whom could tell you what either phrase actually meant. You have read the leadership books. You have done the therapy. You have done the affirmations. And you are still tired. You are not the problem.

Simple. But Not Easy. Can You See Me? is the leadership book that meets you where the others couldn't reach. Written by a corporate trainer of more than thirty years who is also a certified and accredited hypnotherapist, the book offers something rare: a path that reaches past the conscious mind to where the limiting beliefs are actually formed. Because affirmations alone won't get you there. Therapy alone might not get you there. The work has to reach the control room.

Inside, you will meet Elaine — a brilliant Black woman doing the math in her parking garage at 7:51 in the morning. You will recognize her. You may even know her by another name. Your own.

You will learn:
— the invisible glasses you didn't choose to wear, and where they came from
— why the armor that kept you in the room cannot take you the rest of the way
— where your beliefs about yourself actually live — and why nothing changes until the work reaches them
— what becomes possible when a brilliant woman finally stops performing and starts leading from her whole self

The work is simple. It is not easy. But it is possible — and the woman on the other side of it has been waiting for you her whole life.

Meet Alaina.

When companies need their leaders to actually change — not just learn — they call me.

For 30+ years, I’ve been the trainer that companies like Toyota, Morgan Stanley, Delta, Allstate, and Abbott bring in when their people need more than another slide deck. I’m a mindset coach, certified hypnotherapist, and Amazon bestselling author. My leadership book Simple. But Not Easy. Can You See Me? is dropping soon. I’m also the founder of M-Power Management Group and EnterPeace.

My work sits at an unusual intersection: corporate training meets the subconscious mind. Most leadership programs hand you new behaviors. Mine change the beliefs underneath them — because the behaviors don’t stick until the beliefs do.

I didn’t come to this from theory. I came to it as a twice-divorced mom of four sons who had to do the inner work to rebuild a life I actually wanted. That’s the work I now do with executives, teams, and individuals — and the message is the same in every room: you are good enough, you are powerful, and you get to choose what comes next.

That's the work. Let's get into it.

Meet Alaina

the Trainer.

You Can’t Lead What You Can’t See.
I Train Leaders to See It.
For 20+ years, Fortune 100 companies have brought me into their training rooms when their leaders need more than another slide deck.
The sessions are unforgettable, results-driven, and rooted in real life — because transformation only sticks when people feel it.
Inside my training rooms, leaders have:
•Laughed, cried, and had breakthroughs they didn’t see coming
•Built real skills in Insights Discovery, emotional intelligence, executive presence, communication, and conflict mastery
•Done the work underneath the work — the beliefs that drive every behavior they bring to leadership
And yes — sometimes there’s singing. Sometimes there’s dancing. Because the moment a leader stops performing and starts choosing is the moment the training actually works. Ready to bring this into your organization?

If your team is tired of surface-level training and ready for real growth, real connection, and real results — let’s talk.

Meet Alaina

the Speaker.

"Hip Hop Revelation" is the title of my TedX Talk. This talk is part testimony, part cultural remix, and 100% call to action. I unpack how societal conditioning, generational narratives, and limiting beliefs get embedded in our minds and create metaphorical glasses through which we see ourselves and the world—and how choosing your thoughts is the most radical act of self-love.

Spoiler: You don’t need fixing.
You need reminding. I got you!

Meet Alaina

the Hypnotherapist.

At EnterPeace, I use the power of hypnotherapy to help you reset your mind, release limiting beliefs, and rebuild confidently from the inside out. My voice alone will relax you—but the real magic happens when we go deeper.

Through guided relaxation and subconscious reprogramming, I help you:

  • Quiet the overthinking
  • Let go of old stories that no longer serve you
  • Reduce anxiety and emotional exhaustion
  • Reclaim confidence, clarity, and calm
  • Create space for joy, rest, and renewal

Whether you’re healing from, divorce, corporate politics, burnout or just tired of surviving on autopilot, EnterPeace is a safe space to return to yourself.

This isn’t surface-level wellness.
This is real mental reset, deep emotional healing, and a powerful shift toward who you’ve always been—before the world told you otherwise.

Come as you are. Leave lighter, more relaxed and able to see yourself for who you truly are. Don't be surprised if it works right away!

If this work is stirring something in you as a leader, it’s not a coincidence. What shifts in here shows up out there. Your team deserves a leader who has done the work — and I can help you do both.

What My Hypnotherapy Clients Have to Say

"She created a sacred space and helped me zero in on a goal. My three favorite things about the session were: the imagery she used for the visualization, the calm and nurturing tone of her voice, and the clear commitment she has to uplift others."

~Sue Van Zante-Peiser, MSW

"Alaina talked through a picture in my head and this has stuck with me. Every time I feel my confidence dipping and the fear rising up, I go back to the picture she painted in my mind and I’m able to bring everything back into perspective." 

~Kimberley C.

"I had a MAJOR breakthrough today regarding my unconscious blockage to weight loss. So now that I’m consciously aware of the positive and negative FEELINGS, THOUGHTS, AND EMOTIONAL BEHAVIORS, I can associate/disassociate them by consciously making “healthier” choices with MY OWN LEADERSHIP over spiritual and physical FOODS.  

I’M TAKING BACK MY POWER OVER MY BODY NOW!!!!"

~Anissa L.

Why Hypnotherapy Works at EnterPeace

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool that accesses the subconscious mind, where deep-seated patterns and self-perceptions reside. By guiding you into a relaxed, focused state, we can reframe negative thought patterns and instill empowering beliefs.

Research supports hypnotherapy's effectiveness in reducing anxiety, enhancing self-esteem, and promoting lasting behavioral change. For instance, the Cleveland Clinic notes that hypnosis can assist in managing conditions like depression, panic attacks, and PTSD, as well as chronic issues such as insomnia. Additionally, a meta-analysis published in the American Journal of Medicine highlights hypnosis as an effective treatment for pain, anxiety, and insomnia, often with fewer side effects than pharmacological interventions . Other notable publications like Time Magazine promote hypnotherapy too.

Clients often report feeling more grounded, assertive, and aligned with their true selves after sessions.

Whether we meet in a workshop, or a hypnotherapy session, the message stays the same: You are powerful, you are worthy, and you get to CHOOSE. Let’s build something transformational—together.
