The honest answer is that this work has limits, and it is better you know them up front. It is not always a visual experience, and some people with very analytical minds need a little extra help getting out of their head. Things can come up that happened in a past life that are uncomfortable, and if you do not deal with them during the experience, it is possible that they may linger, which is why it is best to have somebody working with you instead of going it alone with a recording. The problem with a recording is you cannot interact with it. Preparation matters too. I have rescheduled a session rather than rush someone through it unprepared. What I can tell you is that you are in control at all times, and your guides are not going to let you go to something you cannot handle.

Michael Newton wrote Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls, the books that introduced Life Between Lives hypnotherapy to the world, and the institute that carries his name still trains and certifies LBL practitioners today. Life Between Lives is the name he gave to deep hypnotic work centered on the period between incarnations, what your soul does after one life and before the next. I found out in 2007 that he was coming out of retirement to teach, and I made sure to be there. I traveled to Chicago that year to train with him, and that training is when I decided to specialize in spiritual hypnotherapy. I later served as a teaching assistant for LBL training, spent time with Michael at the Newton Institute strategy meeting at San Damiano in 2011, and returned there for LBL teacher training in 2014. The full story is in the Teachers and Influences section of my blog.

Yes, teaching is a big part of my work, and there are three certification classes. The professional Hypnotherapy Certification Training comes first, certified through the International Association of Counselors and Therapists, because everything else stands on that foundation. From there my students move into Past Life Regression Training and then Spiritual Connection and Communication Training. All three are taught live online over Zoom, and I have had students from all over the world. Each class has its own page under Events in the menu with the details and upcoming dates. If you are wondering whether this path fits you, that is a perfect conversation for a free discovery call.

No, I do not read from a script. There is a term, Scripnosis, for a hypnotherapist reading a generic pre written script word for word to a client. I avoid that approach because a canned script cannot respond to your unique personal issues and what your subconscious needs in the moment. My sessions are interactive and client centered. I listen closely to your words while you are in trance and create custom suggestions in real time based on what you say. That is also how I teach my students to work. The result is a session built around you, shaped by your own language and your own experience rather than a page of text written for someone else.

A stubborn emotional block, a professional anxiety or a relationship pattern in this life often traces back to what hypnotists call an initial sensitizing event, or to a self protective contract your soul made in a past life. I use a technique called regression to cause. It guides you back to the exact moment that block or belief locked into place. Once you examine and understand the original situation, your subconscious gets to see that the old protection has done its job and can be set down. What tends to happen is that the contract releases, the modern block loosens with it, and clients often tell me they finally feel able to move forward with confidence.

Connecting with your Higher Self is part of the Quantum Healing Hypnosis session, and it is one of the most natural parts of the work, typically from your very first one. To prepare, you write a list of the personal questions that matter most to you. Once you are in a deep hypnotic state, the Theta brainwave frequency, your logical, analytical thoughts step aside. Then I speak directly to your Higher Self and ask it to answer through your voice, or to deliver sudden, clear knowings. Clients often say something like "this just popped in my head," and that is exactly it. What you end up with is an open line of communication and clear spiritual guidance on the questions you brought. The video on the QHHT preparation page, under Sessions in the menu, goes deeper into this connection and is worth watching before your session.
