Beyond the Bliss

Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy (QHHT) is a hypnosis technique created by Dolores Cannon. Dolores developed and refined the technique during her 45-year career as a regressive hypnosis therapist. She worked with thousands of clients from countries all over the world before her passing in 2014.On today's episode, I interview local QHHT practitioner Jennifer Mitchell as she shares her love, wisdom and knowledge of this miraculous healing modality. Jennifer knew that she wanted to become a practitioner immediately after experiencing her own session in 2017. The pandemic was her life changing catalyst that encouraged her to finally take the leap!Jennifer joined this industry after realizing that the corporate world was no longer what she desired. Spending her days as an executive sitting in board rooms, running from meeting to meeting, skipping lunch, chasing deadlines; It just didn't serve her highest purpose anymore. She found herself dreaming of a different path, and feeling like she had spent her life "climbing the corporate ladder" only to realize it was the wrong "ladder" all along.In this convo, Jennifer and I provide a great, foundational understanding of QHHT. You will learn more about QHHT as a whole, as well as what a session looks like, what to expect when you are regressed and some insight into our own personal experiences of receiving the therapy. We also talk about past life visions, our own fears in listening to the messages from our higher selves and everything we love about the modality.*PODCAST DISCLAIMER*Learn More at www.DesertMoonYogi.comSupport the Show:Loving the show?
