Past life regression
in Sydney
Some of the most memorable moments in a session arrive as scenes from another time. Here is how past life regression therapy works, how Michelle approaches it, and what happens in a session with her.
What past life regression is
Past life regression uses guided relaxation, a light to deep hypnotic state, to explore impressions that people experience as memories of other lifetimes. You are guided into the same natural state you pass through every day between waking and sleep, and from there you are invited to describe what you notice.
The practice has a long history. It reached a wide audience through psychiatrist Dr Brian Weiss, whose book Many Lives, Many Masters described past life memories surfacing unexpectedly in his clinical work. Dr Michael Newton later extended regression work to the experience between lifetimes, and Dolores Cannon's own career began in regression before she developed QHHT.
Michelle's training in past life regression
Michelle Pearce trained personally with both Dr Brian Weiss and Dolores Cannon in past life regression and has spent more than 17 years in private practice as a naturopath.
Together, these experiences shape her approach, combining professional knowledge with a genuine respect for each person's individual journey and an understanding of the connection between our inner world and everyday wellbeing. Read more about Michelle.
A past life regression session with Michelle
Michelle offers standalone past life regression sessions of three to three and a half hours, in person at her practice in Cammeray, on Sydney's Lower North Shore. Every session is audio recorded, so you can return to it whenever you wish.
Setting your intention
You begin with an unhurried conversation about what has brought you here and what you would like to understand. Together you set the intention to be guided to the lifetime most meaningful for you now.
Deep relaxation
Michelle guides you into
a deeply relaxed, inwardly focused state. You remain aware and in control, able to speak, pause or open your eyes at any time.
Exploring a lifetime
You describe what you notice in your own words as the key moments of that life unfold. Michelle asks simple, open questions and never suggests what you should find.
Understanding and return
You view that life from a wider perspective, including its lessons and how it may connect with your present, before Michelle gently brings you back to full awareness. There is time afterwards to talk through what emerged.
What a regression can feel like
No two regressions are alike, and there is no right way to experience one. People commonly describe:
- Images, from faint impressions to vivid, detailed scenes: clothing, landscapes, buildings, faces.
- Feelings and sensations, such as warmth, heaviness, emotion that rises without a clear reason, or a felt sense of being somewhere.
- A sense of knowing: you simply know your name, your age or what is about to happen, without seeing it.
- Ordinary lives. Most regressions are not about famous figures. They are farmers, mothers, soldiers, healers and travellers, and their ordinariness is often where the meaning lies.
You remain aware throughout. You can speak, move, pause or open your eyes at any time, and nothing you experience can make you do anything you do not want to.
The value of a regressionis rarely in provingwhere it came from.It is in what it meansto you now.
Do past lives have to be real?
No one can prove that the scenes in a regression are memories of earlier lifetimes, and many scientists and clinicians regard them as products of imagination, memory and suggestion. People who value the experience hold every view, from firm belief in reincarnation to seeing the scenes as meaningful stories created by the subconscious.
Michelle's approach respects all of these. She asks open questions and does not lead you towards particular content, so that what emerges comes from you rather than from her. You are then free to understand it as literal memory, metaphor, or something in between. What most people find is that the emotional truth of a scene, and what it reflects about their present life, matters far more than settling the question.
Why people explore past lives
- A pattern that keeps repeating in relationships, work or family, and a wish to see it from a wider perspective.
- A strong pull towards, or unease about, a particular place, era, culture or type of person, without an obvious reason.
- Curiosity about the soul's journey and the lessons a life may be carrying.
- Grief, loss or a brush with mortality that prompts bigger questions about life and death.
- A simple, open curiosity about what might be there.
Past life regression is a reflective and spiritual practice. It does not diagnose or treat any medical or psychological condition and is not a substitute for care from your doctor or mental health professional. If you are currently being treated for a psychiatric condition, please mention it when you get in touch so Michelle can talk with you about whether the timing is right.
The space between lives
Some regressions move beyond the end of a lifetime into what Dr Michael Newton and Dolores Cannon both explored as the state between death and life. People often describe this as peaceful and expansive, a place from which a life can be seen whole, its choices and lessons in clearer perspective. It is one of the reasons many clients describe regression as reassuring rather than confronting.
Past life regression or QHHT?
Michelle offers two ways to explore past lives. A past life regression session, three to three and a half hours, centres on the lifetimes themselves: who you were, what happened, and what those scenes may reflect about your life now.
A full QHHT session, five to six hours, often begins in a past life too, then goes a step further, opening a conversation with your subconscious so that you can ask your own questions about your present life, your patterns and your path.

Past life regression questions
How long is a past life regression session?
Three to three and a half hours, including time to talk before and after the regression itself. Every session is audio recorded for you to keep.
Where are sessions held?
In person at Michelle's practice at 69 Palmer Street, Cammeray, on Sydney's Lower North Shore, with free street parking nearby.
Can anyone experience a past life regression?
Most people can reach the relaxed state regression uses, because it is one you already enter naturally every day. How the experience arrives varies: some people see vivid scenes, others feel or simply know. Each way is valid, and Michelle works with whatever comes.
What if I experience something upsetting?
You are never trapped in a scene. Michelle can guide you to observe it from a distance, move forward in time, or leave it altogether, and you can open your eyes at any point. Difficult moments are held with care and talked through together afterwards.
Is past life regression the same as QHHT?
They share the same doorway, but QHHT goes further by opening a conversation with your subconscious about your present life. Read the full comparison.
