Your Higher Self is the part of your own soul that stays in spirit, the non physical side of you, and it holds a broad view of all your lifetimes. Spirit guides are separate beings, more like spiritual friends, ancestors or guardian angels, who arrange circumstances to help you along on Earth. The two cooperate to help you navigate your life. In my sessions, some clients feel a stronger connection to their guides while others find it easier to communicate with their Higher Self, and both are normal. I help you find and strengthen whichever pathway opens most easily for you, and in time many people find they can work with both. That connection happens in the Quantum Healing Hypnosis and Life Between Lives sessions, and it can also include your soul group and loved ones in spirit.

Yes. In my experience, souls travel and reincarnate together in groups, often taking on roles as mother, father or sibling across many lifetimes. For twins the connection is especially intense, since they shared the womb and communicated with each other before birth. Even when one twin does not survive the pregnancy, that soul's energy often stays close as a spiritual guide. Using regression to explore these bonds, you can discover the agreements you made together, the karma you share and why you chose to walk this life side by side as siblings or twins. Clients often tell me it changes how they see the people they grew up with.

Brian Weiss is the psychiatrist who wrote Many Lives, Many Masters, and many people who contact me say that book is what first made them wonder whether the fears, relationships and unexplained patterns they carry might have a story that reaches beyond this lifetime. His other books include Only Love is Real, Messages from the Masters and Same Soul, Many Bodies. I took a class with him in Austin in 2005 through an Omega Institute program, right after I started learning hypnosis. It was a large group, around 150 people, and watching him guide a group process made the work real for me. It was no longer only something I had read about. If Many Lives, Many Masters is what brought you here, you are in good company. The full story is in the Teachers and Influences section of my blog.

Intense, irrational likes and dislikes are very often carryovers from previous lives. An obsession with the Victorian era, a strong aversion to a particular culture, a refusal to watch anything medieval like Game of Thrones, these tend to have a story behind them. Your soul carries cellular memories of where you have lived and how you died. In my experience an obsession usually points to a comforting lifetime where you were happy and fulfilled, while a severe aversion typically marks a past life of real suffering in that region or era, imprisonment, trauma, or a hard death. A regression lets you go back and discover where the feeling comes from.

You can still have a good session with me. Over twenty years and well over three thousand sessions, I have found that going into hypnosis comes down to how the session is run. I customize every session in real time using my clinical hypnotherapy background, and I have multiple backup inductions ready if the first one does not settle you. I also use interactive dialogue to quiet an overactive mind, since a busy mind is the most common reason people feel they did not go under. Clients who told me they had failed before often tell me afterward that this time it simply happened. Come with an open mind and let me handle the rest.

After a session, you may feel deeply relaxed, peaceful, and perhaps a bit tired. It is common to experience a shift in perspective and a greater sense of clarity about your life. The insights gained during the regression often continue to unfold over the following days and weeks. I always recommend taking some quiet time for reflection after our work together, allowing the profound wisdom of your soul to fully integrate.
