Why I Became a Past Life Regression Hypnotherapist

People often ask me: how does a lawyer with twenty years of corporate experience end up guiding others through past lives? It is a fair question. And the honest answer is that the path was never really a detour — it was always where I was heading.

A Childhood That Asked Big Questions

I grew up in Ukraine, then part of the USSR, in a world where everyone was expected to be the same. Grey clothes, perfect grades, no visible emotion. Weakness was not tolerated. But even as a child, I was drawn to questions that had no easy answers.

When I was seven or eight years old, the first book I read on my own was Nostradamus's Quatrains. It made a deep impression on me. And when my grandfather died shortly after — a man whose illness was linked to the aftermath of Chernobyl — I refused to accept that physical death was simply the end of everything. That refusal became the quiet engine of my spiritual life for the next three decades.

Twenty Years in Law — and a Life That Began to Crumble

I graduated with the highest honours in Law and Jurisprudence from one of the best universities in Kyiv, and spent the next twenty years building a career. The corporate world is consuming in the best and worst ways. It demands everything, and for a long time I gave it everything willingly.

But our Higher Self has its own plans.

Within a short period, almost everything I had built fell away. I lost my grandmother and my father within two months of each other. A long-term relationship ended. And in February 2022, Russia attacked Ukraine — and my son and I had to leave our home and seek safety in the United Kingdom.

The Pause That Changed Everything

Those first months in the UK gave me something I had not had in years: time. Time to sit with myself. Time to grieve, to reflect, and to ask honestly — what do I actually want my life to be?

I chose myself. And that is when things began to shift.

I met my husband Gary, who brought with him a depth of love and support I had never experienced before. And I returned, with fresh eyes, to the spiritual questions I had carried since childhood.

Discovering Dolores Cannon and QHHT®

Throughout 2025, I became completely absorbed in the work of Dolores Cannon — the pioneering hypnotherapist who spent over forty years exploring past lives, the subconscious mind, and what she called the Higher Self through her method known as QHHT® (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique).

I read almost all of her books. And something in me recognised what she had discovered: that within each of us lies a vast, wise, and deeply compassionate intelligence — one that holds the answers to our most pressing questions, and the capacity to heal what medicine sometimes cannot explain.

After reading her work, I knew with complete clarity: this is what I want to do.

Becoming a Certified QHHT® Practitioner

In 2026, I completed the official QHHT® training, passed the practical assessment, and received my Level 1 Practitioner Certificate.

What I bring to this work is not only the QHHT® method itself, but everything that came before it — my analytical mind trained in law, my life experience of loss and rebuilding, my years of spiritual study, and a genuine, deep desire to help people find their own answers.

Why Past Life Regression?

Because I have seen — in my own life and in the lives of others — that so much of what we carry has roots we cannot see. Fears, patterns, physical symptoms, a persistent sense of incompleteness. Past life regression and QHHT® offer a way to explore those roots gently, safely, and with the guidance of your own subconscious wisdom.

I do not believe healing has to be painful or complicated. I believe it can be profound, even joyful — a genuine homecoming to yourself.

If you feel called to explore this work, I would love to hear from you. You can book a session or get in touch here.
