Andrew Parr's journey began with an intriguing yet fleeting exposure to stage hypnosis on TV during the 1980s. This curiosity eventually led him to witness a live show at a university. However, the fascination with hypnosis was overshadowed by a tumultuous period in his life. At the age of 19, Andrew's mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and she passed away two years later. The loss was compounded by the sudden death of his father from a heart attack, just months before his mother's passing. By age 21, Andrew had tragically lost both of his parents in quick succession, profoundly shaping his early adult years.
