There is a $80 cancelation fee for any appointment missed or cancelled less than 24 hours in advance.

FAQs for Past Life Regression
What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a state of extreme and deep relaxation wherein the person is fully aware and able to respond to stimuli, but is in a state of relaxed altered consciousness. Much like we go through levels of consciousness when we fall asleep hypnosis allows our brains to relax and allow the subconscious mind to express itself.
​
Who can be hypnotized?
Anyone has the potential to be hypnotized, as all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. It is your own mind that allows you to sink into that place of deep relaxation. Prior to scheduling a session we will have a phone conversation talking more about the process. I utilize two different types of hypnosis, either rapid induction or progressive relaxation.
Do I remember what happened while I was hypnotized?
You are completely conscious when you are hypnotized, but are in a state of relaxation. You are in control of your body and you voice at all times. Most people remember in detail everything that they experience while in hypnosis, and only in vary rare cases when someone is able to go to a level so deep that they will have some mild amnesia, however this is very uncommon.
How will I experience my past lives?
People experience their past lives in different ways. Some experience it through their senses, some of their senses or all of their senses. Some people have a deep sense innate understanding or knowing of what is, what we would call a feeling. Regardless of how you experience the past life, the potential for healing will take place. There is no way to know if you will experience a past life until we try it, and see where your soul is ready to go.
What if there is a trauma in the past life?
There is always the potential that you will experience or observe in some manner the traumas that could have occurred in the past life, however you will be guided through it safely by my instruction, to facilitate resolution and peace around it. As a trained trauma therapist, with 16 years psychotherapeutic experience, I am equipped to navigate any memories or sensations that may arise while under hypnosis.
Do I have to believe in this for it to work?
Not necessarily, however it is important to ask yourself what led you to want to do it. Usually there is a part of you that has belief in the potential for healing through this modality. Certainly a spiritual and connected belief system can only enhance any experience doing PLRT. At the very least you will have the opportunity to know yourself better and on a deeper level, realizing that we are all divinely connected.
Do I need more than one session?
One session is the norm, and most people find it to provide them with what they were looking for. People will come back for a follow up session at a later time when they are interested in further exploration, or want deeper insight to build on what they got from the initial session. Healing can sometimes happen instantly, or over time, it all depends on what your subconscious mind is able and wanting to process. There are no guarantees as to outcome, as everyone’s healing path is unique to them. However, most people experience some level of healing from the experience.
