Have you ever wondered whether a relationship, fear, feeling, or recurring pattern in your life might have a story that began somewhere else?

What is past life regression?
Past life regression is a guided hypnosis experience in which you allow your mind to explore images, feelings, impressions, memories or stories that seem to come from another time or lifetime.
For some people, the experience feels very much like remembering a past life. Others understand what emerges as subconscious imagery, imagination or metaphor. You don't have to decide which explanation is right.
Sometimes the more interesting question is:
Does what emerged help you understand something about your life today?
What are you curious about?
Relationships & Connections
Have you ever met someone and felt an immediate connection—or wondered why a particular relationship feels unusually significant?
Recurring Patterns
Sometimes the same kind of situation seems to show up again and again, even when you understand the pattern intellectually.
Fears & Feelings
You may be curious about a fear, emotion or reaction that seems stronger than its obvious explanation.
Curiosity & Discovery
You don't need a problem to solve. Sometimes the question itself—Have I been here before?—is reason enough to explore.
Do I have to believe in past lives?
No.
You can come to a past life regression believing strongly in reincarnation, wondering if it might be possible, or simply curious about what your subconscious mind will bring forward.
Some people understand their experience literally. Others see it as metaphor, imagination or subconscious storytelling. Some simply aren't sure.
Michelle won't tell you what you're supposed to believe.
The experience is yours, and so is the meaning you make from it.
We begin with your life today.
A past life regression doesn't have to begin with a hunt for another century. It begins with you.
Before the regression, we'll talk about what brought you in and what you're curious about. It might be a relationship, a recurring pattern, an unexplained fear or feeling, or simply a desire to see what emerges.
That gives your mind a place to begin—without deciding in advance where it needs to go.
What happens during a past life regression?
We talk.
We'll start with what you'd like to explore and answer your questions about hypnosis and past life regression.
You relax into hypnosis.
Michelle guides you into a comfortable hypnotic state, allowing the analytical part of your mind to become quieter while you remain aware and able to communicate.
We explore what emerges.
You may notice images, emotions, physical sensations, thoughts, people, places or simply a sense of knowing.
Michelle asks questions and guides the experience without telling you what you're supposed to see.
We reflect.
Afterward, we'll talk about what stood out and how the experience may connect with your life today.
Allow approximately 2½ hours for the full experience.
What if I don't “see” a past life?
Past life regression doesn't have to look like a movie playing in your head.
Some people experience vivid images. Others notice feelings, thoughts, physical sensations, sounds, fragments of a story or simply a sense that they know something.
There is no prize for having the most cinematic past life.
Your job isn't to perform, manufacture a story or get the experience “right.” It's simply to notice what emerges.

No. You might understand the experience as a past life, subconscious imagery, metaphor or imagination—or simply remain curious about what it was. Michelle won't ask you to adopt a particular explanation.

Can I choose what I want to explore? +
Yes. We'll begin by talking about what interests you. That can provide a direction for the regression while leaving room for something unexpected to emerge.
