“Working with Leana was an experience I will remember for my whole life. I was a bit nervous when beginning the session, but Leana instantly put me at ease and created a space where I could be completely honest. The process of discussing your ‘life story’ I found incredibly powerful. I don’t I’ve ever had someone listen to my entire life and being able to discuss it revealed so much I wasn’t aware of. It was an incredibly cathartic experience. When she lead me into the hypnosis, I felt like I was taken to places inside me I didn’t know were there. Leana is such a kind, open, and present facilitator. She made me feel nurtured, heard, and so safe in this process. Doing the session with Leana felt like 4 therapy sessions in one day. I am still feeling the affects of our session weeks later. I would highly recommend this work to anyone looking to break through emotional stories they’ve carried with them. This work is very powerful and Leana is an excellent guide to take your there.”

"My sessions with Leana were the essence of a true journey. A journey where a special guide is essential. She provides  all the qualities necessary to create a safe and powerful experience. She is  patient, attentive and present for the duration of the session. She holds the space of wisdom and your highest good without agenda. A fine line to walk and she walks it with great expertise. I highly recommend her.”

—Daria

“I have received many different types of healing and self discovery modalities including Reiki, Acupuncture, herbal medicine, astrological readings, etc, and the impact of my QHHT session was so distinct from all of those in the sense that it isn’t a healer or “expert” telling you what you need, it is YOU telling yourSELF. Hearing answers coming out of my mouth both during the session and listening back to the recording later really made the learning and guidance sink in on a deeper level than I thought possible. To walk away with the knowledge that I already contain all the the answers I need was a truly magical and healing experience, especially in the chaotic uncertainty of pandemic times. I was so skeptical going in to my session because I didn’t know a lot about hypnosis and was honestly quite afraid of it, but Leana’s presence, softness, and deep listening made for a very held experience where I felt safe and cared for the entire time. The insights I gained were life changing. I highly, highly recommend booking a session with Leana if you are ready to hear what your Higher Self already knows.”

—Dana

“Leana’s approach of openness and sincerity allows you to safely surrender to the rich experience of this therapeutic work. I found her space, as well as her personality, to be welcoming and warm. Her voice lulled me into the hypnotic state, which feels comparable to a sleepy dream state where the imagination is free to play, and the body is completely relaxed yet alert. I came into the experience with questions pertaining to the next steps in my life, and received answers through the vivid and immersive imagery of the hypnosis. I was also lucky enough to communicate a practical daily application to myself in order to continue with confidence in my day to day life. I left with an emotional openness and a physical relaxation akin to the results of a deep meditation, and, to this day, I revisit the imagery and lessons learned from the experience.”

“Dear Leana,

I have honestly felt so amazing since our session. The sensations in my body have improved so much, amazingly so! Mentally I have definitely been doing much better as well! I got so so soo much from that one session. I thank you so much. I keep treating my neck my arms, my heart as if they were a person telling them how beautiful they are, how brave, how amazing, how they are light; and any sensations disappear!

Thank you again!”

— Tommy

"Leana’s hypnosis session was a nurturing and transformative experience.  Her ability to hold space free of judgement made it possible and safe for me to share my story and bring to surface past experiences that were lingering in my subconscious.  Receiving a few more pieces of the puzzle, I felt clearer about my own healing process as well as supported.” 

— Natalja

“I had an incredible experience with my hypnosis session. During the session itself, I felt so comfortable and cared for the entire time. Leana held such compassionate space for me to talk about myself and my life in the pre-hypnosis interview. I was surprised at how easily I fell into a deep, lucid relaxation. I was always aware of myself and the room around me on some level, but I was also able to explore my imagination and talk about it easily without breaking my relaxed state. I was stunned when I found out how long I had been in hypnosis. My body was never fidgety and I felt great afterward. The most profound moment for me was when Leana led me to explore some chronic physical pain while in hypnosis. In my mind, I saw an octopus clinging to that part of my body. We worked with it until I saw the octopus release and I was amazed that after the session I was completely pain-free there for about 2 weeks! I will definitely be visiting Leana again. She's very talented and a trustworthy person to guide you through the wisdom of your subconscious.”

Hi Leana,

I have been having such deep healing and integration all week long and wanted to let you know.  No more foot pain when I wake up in the morning!  And my sacroiliac pain has only showed up in whispers.  When it does, I can immediately link it to fear and a sense of holding or controlling in my body.  Once that acknowledgment happens, the whisper disappears.  I've also had so much fluidity and play within my pelvis.  Cat cow in yoga (which used to be filled with pain and fear) is now a delicious experience, among other things. Lots of unfolding and awakening all around.  

I also had an appointment with my osteopath the other day (forgot that was scheduled so close to our session!) and my kidneys have improved greatly.  I also had one of the deepest treatments (she does cranial/cervical spine work) from her I've ever had.  She said the depth of the work was no doubt tied to the healing and releasing happening from my session with you.  I left there 1/4 inch taller, with even hips and shoulders, a straight spine and I felt like I was effortlessly floating upward. It was amazing.  And I've been experiencing more ease in my standing and walking, really relishing the support of the earth without "trying" and "doing."

I could go on and on.  Beautiful conversation with my dad and another one with my little sister. So many rich happenings.  Too many to report actually. So.  Thank you thank you thank you for opening up my journey.  I am getting so much out of our session and know I will continue to do so.  I've already shared your info with a dear friend and can't wait for my partner to work with you.  He was so inquisitive and receptive when I came home last Saturday. He keeps telling me how radiant I am. :)) 

Thank you again Leana.  What powerful gifts you have to offer.

Nick’s Story

I want to extend a special thanks to my client Nick for sharing this detailed account of his QHHT story. It was such an honor to lead this session.

 I would say that I am a skeptic of most things wellness, or out-of-the-box, or whoo-whoo (for lack of a better term). Though in recent years, this has changed ever so slightly as my strong Midwestern upbringing has softened, allowing me to - for the first time in my life, go to therapy (and that is not even CLOSE to a Whoo-whoo situation) - but I hope it gives you an idea of how much of my almost 40 years on this planet has been overshadowed by this middle American 'grit-and-bear-it' mentality. That mental health conditions are not real, that you can deal with things on your own and that you don't need someone else, and 'time heals all wounds'. 

        And I am finding that is not the case. 

I only went to my QHHT session because my wonderful partner went to Leana before me, and though I have been with my partner for years, and she is beautiful, bright, and vibrant - when she returned from her session, she was so much more full than I had ever seen her in our 5 years together. Taller, brighter, plump in every cell brimming with an energy I did not know or recognize - and though it sounded Whoo-whoo, I was like, I should probably have what she's having! 

And so I scheduled an appointment. And when I mention ‘Time’ not actually healing all wounds - I mean to say that my past is fraught, as are most of ours - my father was rather absentee in my early teens, being in and out of jail, due to problems with addiction - at the age of 16, I caused a 3-car pile up which resulted in the death of a woman, and her daughter having to be para-lifted to an emergency room to have her leg reconstructed, whereas I only have a scar on my elbow - and so TIME has been a factor in both of these cases as well as others. Now I have lived more life AFTER said events than I had done so BEFORE. But they had not been healed, they had been buried. Buried under jokes of brushing it off as 'not that bad' or it 'being ages ago'. And even when I started therapy it only helped me scratch the surface of those traumatic moments of life, not healing much of anything at all - just shining a light on behavioral patterns. Time and therapy healed very little. 

So when I tell you my one QHHT session healed more than time and therapy combined in just a single session, I can tell you that is true wholeheartedly. And it's not to say 'healed and done with' - but I mean, opened up doors to a REAL process of ongoing healing in both the above situations. And more, but I will stick with these two in particular so as to save your time in reading more, as well as space on the website. ;) 

For years whenever I told people of the accident and that I fell asleep at the wheel and caused a wreck killing a woman - they inevitably would go silent - many would think I was pulling their leg, cause I am a sick jokester and pull people's legs sometimes and generally am one who people do not take seriously (probably humor as a defense mechanism?) - And when they finally would come around to believing me, even though I was smiling and laughing while telling them “no its true, that's where this scar came from, I'm laughing cause I know you don't believe me,” I would then tell them how everything went down. How I was a counselor for the first time at the bible camp I grew up going to as a kid. How I wanted to be a 'cool' counselor and let my kids eat DQ ice cream cake and treats and have a party on the final night at camp. How it went real late into the morning, and how after the kids left the next day the counselors had lunch, communion, and left for the weekend. And I was showing a friend the way to the interstate via country roads as she followed me in her car. Slowly I felt sleepy, turned on the AC. Felt more sleepy, Turned on the Radio full blast. Felt like I was fading further and knew it was just a little further and I could nap in my car in a parking lot by the interstate ramp, and rolled down the windows to get some fresh air flowing. And then I dozed off, only to wake to the sound of a car horn booming and my windshield spiderwebbing, and the steering column of the car slamming into my midsection and the knowledge that this was my final moment on earth. Until someone nudged me into consciousness and pulled me from the car - the only seat not full of jutting metal, was the one I was in. My car being the only one to be hit twice.

I'd continue with the story and then they would inevitably say, “that's horrible, but it is not your fault. It was an accident.” It didn't matter if it was that next week at bible camp where I went back to counsel almost immediately - 'It was an accident' - or if it was years later in college - 'it was an accident' - or if it were family, friends, or strangers - 'It was an accident'. The more I heard it, the more I knew it would just wash over me. It was good to hear, and to be forgiven by people for something I felt responsible for and felt so much guilt, pain, and fear around. The more I heard it, the more and more I knew I wouldn't believe it or be able to forgive myself until I was able to say those words and believe them. In my adult life I had tried saying them. But I knew deep down, I didn't believe, didn't deserve to be forgiven. Even in therapy the same hurdle emerged. 

In my QHHT session, one of the questions was about the accident. Leana followed the path as she did with other questions, asking my higher self what it was I supposed to learn from the accident - and my higher selves (as by this time I had been speaking in a plural them, talking as a we) told Leana that I wasn't supposed to learn anything from the accident. Leana repeated her question, gently reminding that everything that happens in this life is meant to teach us something, what was it Nick was meant to learn from the accident. And 'we' insisted - nothing. “He wasn't meant to learn anything. It was a mistake. We didn't mean for it to happen. We thought his body was strong enough, and it wasn't.” And in my own voice the words flowed like that for some time. And then with tears in my voice and eyes, “It was an accident. We are so sorry that we put you through that. It is not your fault and we are so so sorry.” Even now as I write that I am emotional - not with fear or grief or responsibility or pain - but with relief. In my waking conscious mind I could never say that out loud to myself and believe it. Hearing it from others, I could never fully hear it. But in hearing my higher self apologize to me in my own voice and words, and with a whole sincerity not present when my ego gets in the way, I felt - and feel - for the first time a relief and belief and a real opening to healing that part of me - because I believe me now when I say it was an accident. It was not my fault. And that is the salve I had been searching for for years while tamping and masking the trauma in humor or lies. It was magic. And it was simply me, recognizing me. 

In regards to the second example of my father - since the split when I was in 6th grade, he has been in and out of our lives. Mainly out. And as the years moved into high school, college and then adult life, the phone calls or visits became fewer and farther between. Eventually adding to years of no contact with my father. Despite writing letters, calling, texting, or other forms of contact - there was just no return on any emotional investment of time or energy. This added extra tumult as I got older, dealing with trying to let go and be fine and divorce myself from the need of any contact with him. And the stories I would tell of him shifted from what his addiction and off the rails behavior did to our family growing up, to slowly understanding how at 30 he may have been feeling and reacting when I myself hit 30 and was experiencing similar things. To say it has been a rough ride is an understatement and to recall all the ins and outs here is unnecessary as well as unfair to my father - whom I love. The point is - that is my session with Leana - one of my questions was regarding my father and whether I need to have him in my life, and it was framed around some of the perceived trauma. So when Leana asked us about said instance of trauma with my father - our response was “Trauma? What trauma? With his father? Yeah with his father. There wasn't trauma. no. nah.  No. Sorry, no. You must have confused us with someone else." My higher selves rejected the notion out right, after a little back and forth between the two of em. Leana then said that Nick feels as though there are some things that need to be healed in that area and that's what we are here to examine. To the which my higher selves went on to say, “Nick just has to get over himself. He focuses on the negative so much that he has eliminated all of the positive things that did happen.” And we went on to mention pinewood derby cars, time working in the garage with him, camping, and all-sorts of other things that were good about my relationship with my father which has for years been overshadowed by a large narrative of abandonment I had been telling myself. Leana then asked the higher self what Nick might do to heal this wound and start seeing some of that good. And we simply said, “Nick just needs to write a list. Maybe not tomorrow, but like a few days, or a month of all of the good things that he had with his dad” - and you know what? I never made that list. And I didn't have to, because shortly after my session, in my deepest heart of hearts, I felt the need to call my dad, for the first time in ages - where it wasn't his birthday or a holiday or whatever - just to give him a call. He didn't pick up the first time. And I didn't mind. And later that week I was on a walk and that pull in my heart was there - so I called again. And he picked up. It was starting to rain, and yet, for an hour or so, I walked in the rain talking with my dad. Not agreeing with everything he said, and being fine with that, and for the first time in a long time, being able to see him anew and in this moment someone I could get to know. So I called him the next week as well. He picked up. We talked. And this year I have spoken to him more than in the last 20. And when his mother was recently dying in hospital, and people were unable to reach my father cause he was not answering his phone - they called me, because they knew that dad had been answering my calls. So yeah. I have made a mental list of good things from my father - and one day may make a hard copy to have and to hold - but I feel from the QHHT session and listening back to it - that the list my higher selves were speaking about writing down, may be the new list of things that are happening now. In the present. Not the past. That these new memories and moments are the beginning of whatever is to come. And it may not be much. It may be simply phone calls on walks. Seeing him more than once a year. Who knows? But it will be what it is, and there's been more healing because of this QHHT session than anything else. 

It goes well beyond just these two instances - it was a long session. Leana was patient, professional, kind, straightforward and most importantly - interested. From the beginning of our conversation when I arrived until the moment I left nearly 7 hours later - we were her focus. I had never been hypnotized before and I felt trepidation as to whether it would work, if it would be weird - if I would be too perfectionist about it. And though my conscious self kept trying to butt-in in the beginning, I went down fairly easy, and stayed there. My only wish is that I re-listened to the session more in the days that followed and I would hope that anyone who has a session with Leana REALLY takes that to heart in their own process. I listened to it only one and a half times. I think when Leana advises to listen back to your tape a few times, one should take that to heart, as that is part of the treatment. That is part of you healing yourself through this work. 

And as an end note. In one of the past lives we encountered, I died on the floor of a barn. Looking up. I just went out to feed the horses and fell from the loft. I had moved here recently to this land. Not married. No children. No lover. I had lost my family a long time ago in another country - and after trying hard to find those who killed them, only found the wrong man, and ended up sitting with him on a cliffs edge watching the sunrise over the water, illuminating the moss, the birds, urchins, bugs and plants which littered the side of the craggy cliff. And as I was dying - Leana asked what I had learned from this life.  I had been orphaned, lost, fighting to find the one who took it all away from me, and failing to even do that. Sharing a sunrise with this old man instead on a giant rock teaming with life of all kinds - though cold, hard, wet - it was teaming. Then to find this same body dying in a new land, in a barn built by his own hands, with horses and hay surrounding him - still mainly alone - I answered to Leana that in this life we are seeing right now - Nick learned about community. In this new land, he was mainly alone, but he had found a community around him. Not love, not children. But he had softened enough to be a part of a community and provide what services he could. For Nick in this life now - as you guessed, my Midwesterner is very much hardy and sure he can do it on his own. So I have been thinking about that past life in relationship to now - and that perhaps I am still here to soften more, to allow more people in, to create more community through honesty and work and reaching out. 

So. 

There you have it. 

From whoo-whoo to WHOO-HOO! 

I'd recommend anyone. Skeptic or not. Sit down with Leana. You literally have nothing to lose. 

You are simply talking to yourself. She is asking you questions you wrote yourself that you want answered. And she's good hands to be handling this kind of work. 

You don't believe in past lives? Fine. I don't really either - but by golly if they aren't true, my higher selves gave me quite a sweet allegory to munch on - wouldn't cha say?

There is just nothing that could hurt from having a session with Leana and yourself - You are your own medicine in this practice, and if nothing else, you will come out of it, trusting your Self in a whole new way - which is far more valuable than any currency this world has created.
