Hypnosis is a relaxed state in which you also have heightened concentration on your inner imagery through which the memories are surfacing. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, meaning that you are the only person who can hypnotize yourself. I serve as a guide to help facilitate your trance state (relaxation) and journey. Under hypnosis, your state of consciousness moves below your conscious waking state, and you can then connect with your unconscious mind to tap forgotten memories. You easily experience trance states throughout your day while watching TV, reading, daydreaming, and meditating. Hypnosis is a natural state of being and anyone can be hypnotized.

“Knowledge about every detail of our past remains deep in our unconscious mind – our memory extends back to the earliest beginnings of life, through our past lives from incarnations as the most primitive humans, up to the present time…Regression therapy is a process of returning to the past, re-living the experience, and removing the energy from old feelings and beliefs. Re-living details of the experience leads to expression of the feelings and this in turn contributes to healing.” – Alice. M. Givens, Ph.D. During a PLR you may be hypnotized, or relaxed, and safely guided to connect with past life memories that relate to a current life interest or issue. You do not have to believe in reincarnation theory for your PLR to be effective. Simply believing that your subconscious stores useful information is enough to have a meaningful experience. You may experience your past life by engaging your imagination and inner senses - mostly seeing, feeling, and hearing and possibly through smelling and tasting as well. The invitation is to ALLOW whatever wishes to emerge from within to do so without judgment or critical analysis! This work is both mysterious and exciting! The regression experience is unique to each person. It is also possible to feel all kinds of emotions during your regression. You are safe to feel and express everything. If feelings such as sadness, fear, or anger emerge, you can safely feel them and release them to help create positive shifts in your current life. Finally, past life regression is different than a past life psychic reading. During a PLR, the client is actively exploring their own past life memories and sharing what they are experiencing.

A LBLR takes you back into your memories as a soul between lives when you reviewed past lives and made plans for your current life. You may also encounter your spirit guides and soul mates – all of whom are assisting you in fulfilling your life purpose. As you move into your spiritual consciousness your identity is expanded beyond any human limitations. You perceive yourself and your life through an elevated mindset that deepens understanding and releases conflicts. ​ Your LBLR entails visiting a specific sequence of past memories. These include positive childhood memories, memories from within your mother's womb, a past life, and the life between life/spirit realm memories. All will be visited during your LBLR.

Falling asleep is possible, but that is not the goal. Hypnosis is a state between awake and asleep, in which you are aware of both the present moment and your inner world.

No. You are in complete control of what happens in your session. Hypnosis cannot detach the ego; Therefore, you always are in control of your experience. Your intentions determine what happens. Again, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis.

Your session will begin with an intake interview (30 minutes - 1 hour) so that I may fully understand your goal or concern. Beforehand, please identify one personal topic or issue that you would like to explore through your regression. After the interview, you will be invited to lie down on the healing table, prepared with clean linens, blankets, and a pillow. We then will begin your regression by first getting you nice and relaxed. After the relaxing induction, you will be invited to connect with a past life through the use of your inner senses and imagery. During your regression, you may be aware of both the past and present - this is normal. I will interview you throughout the experience so that you may share out loud what you are experiencing. Past life regressions last 3 hours, and life between life sessions last 4 hours (times include the intake interview).

Regression hypnotherapy is best for those who are ready and willing to let go and explore all things. Opening one's mind to the mystery and surrendering fears and expectations are essential to this work. Successful regression requires letting go of control and fear and ALLOWING one's inner wisdom, inner imagery, memories (the easy AND difficult ones), and subconscious knowledge to surface and come through. An active imagination also helps, as it serves as the engine that gets everything going. This is a co-created experience, and I am merely holding space and helping to guide you through your own journey. On the rare occasion, a person might block memories, or they simply may not be able to see or sense anything at the time. When this is the case, I attempt other regression techniques to help produce a helpful experience.

We will allow a very brief amount of time to discuss your experience. If more time to process is desired, you may schedule an integration session with me for a later date. Be gentle with yourself and allow time to process your experience and what has emerged. Consider the meaning of the stories, images, feelings, and thoughts that have surfaced. How do they relate to the present and your goal for the session? Helpful ways to process and integrate the information include journaling, talking with a trustworthy friend, making art, and meditating. Sometimes more sessions are helpful to further explore what has emerged.

Possibly not. Hypnotic regression is a sustained period of deep relaxation and emotional journeying. Most clients awake feeling a bit groggy but eventually feel more awake and alert within 15-30 minutes after the session. Immediately after your session, I'll help you to fully awaken before you leave. Also, much has likely surfaced from within, and so I recommend that you clear your schedule and book your appointment on a day when you have a free afternoon.

Plan to arrive with an open heart and mind, nice and relaxed. Set the intention to surrender any fears, expectations, and a need for control. Identify one topic or issue that you'd like to explore during your regression. Wear comfortable clothing. Bring a special pillow if your neck and head require it. You will be lying down on a massage table with clean linens, a pillow, and a blanket. Eat lightly before arriving, and be mindful not to drink too much beforehand. Avoid consuming any stimulating foods or beverages right before, including coffee and energy drinks.
