No, because this is not a reading. A past life reading is what people do with something called the Akashic Records, and that is a different thing. I am not a psychic. My wife is a psychic and a medium, she connects with those who have crossed over, and she would rather send past life work to me, because readings are her work and this is mine. In a session I don't tell you anything, I ask you things. I will tell you to go to the most appropriate time and place, and then you tell me what is going on. Once you are there I will ask you, what do you notice, tell me about it. You have the experience, you share it with me, and that tells me what to ask next to help you dig out additional insights. I don't paint a picture of anything. I don't talk about a monk or Egypt or whatever. I just let you do that. That is really what this is all about, me helping you find out more about what is going on with you.

Having trouble entering a past life is rare, and I have several backup plans ready if it happens. If you are blocked or struggling to regress, I set the past life work aside and move the session into another hypnosis process such as Parts Therapy or Gestalt Therapy, and those approaches tend to bring up rich material of their own. I can also use alternative entry techniques like travel in your imagination, the infinite pool or the sphere of possibilities to establish a direct connection with your spirit guides or your Higher Self. Either way you still receive a full, deeply healing session. In my experience the session goes where it needs to go, and a different doorway often turns out to be the right one for you.

Yes. Recurring nightmares, restless sleep and even a lifelong inability to remember your dreams are often your subconscious trying to process something unresolved from a past life or a parallel lifetime. One woman I worked with had a persistent nightmare of being shot at close range, and in her session she found it was a memory of a fatal injury from a previous life. In the hypnotic state you explore the event from a safe, detached observer's view rather than living through it again. Clients often tell me the nightmares ease once that trapped shock is released, and that their sleep becomes deeper and more peaceful. Many also notice they start remembering their dreams again.

Reincarnation is a voluntary choice, and your soul is the one making it. I hear from people who want to be sure they never come back, usually because this physical life has been hard. What I have seen in Life Between Lives sessions is that the decision belongs to your soul rather than to your human personality. Your soul is after growth, and it may get guidance or encouragement from your guides to come back and finish lessons that are still open. So the honest answer is that you do not have to reincarnate, but your soul often chooses to, because it sees something worth coming back for.

Those intuitive flashes, hunches and psychic knowings are often messages your spirit guides or Higher Self are dropping into your mind. In the hypnotic state, clients discover that what they had been writing off as random thoughts, odd coincidences or their brain doing something weird is actually real spiritual guidance. In a Quantum Healing Hypnosis session you can ask your guides about your gifts directly and how to use them. From there we work on trusting it. I teach self hypnosis anchors and progressive relaxation so you can quiet the logical, analytical part of your mind on your own. With practice, many people learn to hear these signals comfortably, recognize them when they arrive and trust them enough to navigate their lives by them. Understanding the gift is the first step, and using it well is the second.

Normal daily medication has not stopped my clients from going into hypnosis. Hypnosis is a natural brainwave state your mind already visits every day, and people arrive at sessions on all kinds of prescriptions and still go deep. You keep taking whatever you are prescribed exactly as you normally do. On the rare occasion that a session is interrupted or does not get going the way we want, my policy is simply to stop and reschedule another session at no extra charge, so there is nothing to lose by giving it a try. If you have any concern about your particular situation, bring it up on the discovery call and we can talk it through together.
