Frequently asked questions.

Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT®) is a hypnosis method developed by author and past life regressionist Dolores Cannon over 45+ years of practice. It uses a deeply relaxed somnambulistic state to access subconscious material and connect with what Dolores called the Higher Self, the deepest, wisest part of you that holds the bigger picture of your life.

QHHT® was developed by Dolores Cannon, a hypnotherapist who refined the technique over more than 45 years beginning in the 1960s. After her passing in 2014, her daughter Julia Cannon has continued overseeing the official certification program. Alexis is Level 1 Certified and approved by Julia Cannon, and is currently nearing completion of Level 2.

Traditional hypnotherapy is typically focused on a specific outcome, like reducing anxiety, releasing a habit, or building confidence. QHHT® is more exploratory and spiritually oriented. Rather than directing the experience toward a single goal, the practitioner invites whatever is most relevant for healing to come forward, which often includes past lives, soul themes, and Higher Self communication. Sessions typically run four to six hours rather than the shorter sessions used in traditional hypnotherapy.

People come to QHHT® for many different reasons. Some are seeking clarity around life purpose, identity shifts, relationships, recurring patterns, emotional healing, grief, anxiety, fears, spiritual questions, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Others are navigating physical symptoms, chronic challenges, or a sense of feeling stuck and unsure of what is next.

QHHT® often works at a deeper level by helping uncover underlying patterns, beliefs, emotions, and experiences that may be connected to what you are experiencing. Rather than only focusing on the surface symptom, many people find that the session brings greater understanding, insight, self-awareness, and meaningful shifts that continue unfolding afterward.

The Higher Self refers to the deepest and wisest part of a person that exists beyond the ego and the limitations of everyday thinking. It holds your soul's full blueprint, including all of your lifetimes and your deeper life purpose. During the hypnosis portion of a QHHT® session, this part of you is invited to come forward and respond to the questions you've prepared.

No. Whether you interpret what comes through as literal memories, symbolic representations, or archetypes of the psyche, the information that surfaces tends to be deeply relevant to the questions you've brought into the session. Openness and curiosity are the only prerequisites.

Yes, when facilitated by a trained and certified practitioner. Clients remain aware and in control throughout the entire session. You cannot be made to do anything against your will, and you do not lose consciousness.

I believe everyone is capable of accessing a hypnotic state. In fact, we naturally move through a theta brainwave state every day, typically as we are falling asleep and again as we are waking up. Hypnosis is not about losing control or being "put under." It is a natural state that many of us already experience.

The most important ingredients are willingness, trust, and allowing yourself to follow the process. Some people enter hypnosis very quickly, while others simply need more guidance, practice, or support relaxing into the experience. My role is not to force you into hypnosis. It is to help create a safe space and guide you in a way that works with your unique mind and process.

Theta brainwaves are the slow neural oscillations the brain produces naturally in states of deep relaxation and light sleep, typically between 4 and 8 Hz. This state is associated with creativity, vivid imagery, and access to subconscious material. It is the brainwave state most associated with hypnotic work.

A full QHHT® session typically runs between four and six hours. It is structured in three distinct parts. The first part is the pre-session interview, which lasts approximately one hour and is a conversation in which Alexis learns about your life, your intentions, and the questions you are bringing into the session. This part helps Alexis understand you more fully so she can guide the hypnosis portion with greater attunement. The second part is the hypnosis journey itself, which typically lasts two to three hours. The third part is the integration conversation, which happens after you return to full waking awareness and involves reviewing what came through and discussing next steps. Please plan your schedule to accommodate the full range.

During the hypnosis portion of your QHHT® session, I gently guide you into a deeply relaxed theta state through progressive relaxation. From there, we begin exploring the experiences, imagery, emotions, memories, or impressions that arise.

For many people, this includes a past life experience or meaningful scenes that provide insight into current patterns, relationships, challenges, gifts, or themes unfolding in this lifetime. Every experience is unique and unfolds in its own way.

We then transition into communication with your Higher Self, the wiser part of you that holds a broader perspective on your journey. Together, we explore the questions and intentions you prepared before the session and receive guidance, clarity, and insight.

From there, we move into a body scan and healing portion where your Higher Self is invited to assess the body and share any information, energetic imbalances, emotional connections, or insights that may be helpful. Healing is also requested where appropriate and aligned for you.

Memory varies from person to person. Some clients recall everything vividly. Others remember fragments or impressions. Some remember very little while in session. None of this indicates the session was less effective. Every session is recorded, and you receive a typed transcript and a written summary so nothing is lost.

Yes, completely. Hypnosis does not involve a loss of control or consciousness. You remain the author of your experience and can end the session at any time if you become uncomfortable, though most clients feel aware and present throughout.

This is one of the most common concerns people have before a session, and in my experience, it is rarely an obstacle. Many people worry they are "doing it wrong," not going deep enough, or that nothing will happen.

The truth is that hypnosis often feels much more natural than people expect. It can feel similar to daydreaming, remembering, imagining, or simply following what naturally arises. Some people experience vivid imagery, while others receive emotions, sensations, knowing, symbols, memories, or subtle impressions. There is no single "right" way to experience a session.

You do not need to force anything, perform, or make something happen. My role is to gently guide you, help you relax into the process, and meet you exactly where you are. Often the people most worried that nothing will happen end up surprising themselves.

Sometimes what first seems small or subtle ends up holding the biggest insights.

Yes. Many clients report significant shifts or insights after one session. That said, every process is different. Some clients feel complete with a single session. Others choose to continue through future sessions as their journey unfolds.

The complimentary 30-minute discovery call is offered for those who'd like to feel into alignment before booking. It's not required for the Soul Strategy Session, but is encouraged for the Soul ALIGNED™ Journey and QHHT®.

While both experiences use hypnosis to access deeper levels of the subconscious mind, they are designed for different purposes and experiences.

QHHT® follows Dolores Cannon's traditional method and is on average a 5 hour immersive, in-person experience focused on past life exploration, Higher Self communication, a body scan, and gaining insight into the questions and patterns you wish to explore.

The Soul ALIGNED™ Hypnosis Journey is Alexis's own signature experience and follows her ALIGNED™ framework, guiding clients through a process of awareness, releasing what no longer serves them, reconnecting with intention, embodiment, and creating aligned action. Rather than following a fixed QHHT structure, each journey is personalized and blends hypnotherapy, subconscious transformation, emotional healing, and practical integration support.

While QHHT often emphasizes exploration and receiving insight, the Soul ALIGNED™ Journey places greater focus on transformation, embodiment, and supporting lasting change in everyday life.

It's for anyone who has done a lot of inner work but still feels stuck in patterns or loops, feels disconnected from themselves, or feels caught in between two identities or versions of themselves. It's also a good fit if you need guidance and support, or want to anchor the transformation into your life.

Clients describe it as deeply calming, clarifying, and emotionally moving. A safe space to access parts of themselves that are usually drowned out by daily life. It often feels more like remembering than learning. Some clients move through quiet emotional releases. Others experience a soft settling, as though something inside has finally been allowed to land.

Alexis holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and has spent years studying the mind, human behavior, healing, and personal transformation through both formal education and lived experience. Her path into this work began with a deep curiosity about why people feel stuck, how lasting change happens, and what helps people reconnect with themselves at a deeper level.

During her formal hypnotherapy training between 2020 and 2021, Alexis completed extensive training across multiple transformational modalities and became Board Certified through the International Board of Coaches and Practitioners as a Master Hypnotherapist, Master Life & Success Coach, Master NLP Practitioner, Master EFT Practitioner, and Master Time Techniques Practitioner. She is also a Level 1 Certified QHHT® Practitioner approved by Julia Cannon and is nearing completion of Level 2, along with Reiki II certification and additional training across healing and transformational modalities.

While education and certifications are an important part of her foundation, much of what Alexis brings to this work has also been shaped through her own lived experiences navigating healing, identity shifts, awakening, reinvention, and learning how to create a more aligned way of living.

Reflectors are the rarest Human Design type, about 1% of the population. They have no defined energy centers, which means they are designed to observe and mirror the energy of their environment rather than generate it. In Alexis's work, this means she naturally creates a clear, neutral container in which the client's own wisdom can emerge.

Unlike many practitioners who discover QHHT® as a starting point, Alexis added QHHT® as an additional modality within an already established practice, bringing with her a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, extensive hypnotherapy training, multiple Board Certifications, and years of experience supporting clients through personal transformation.

Her approach blends intuition with grounded tools, creating an experience that supports insight, understanding, and integration.

Scorpio brings depth, transformation, shadow work, and intuitive attunement to subtle emotional shifts. Virgo brings discernment, attention to detail, and grounded practicality. Together they support both the attunement and the safe structure required for this kind of work.

Human Design synthesizes astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, and chakra teachings into an energetic map of how an individual is designed to operate. Alexis uses it as a lens for understanding herself as a practitioner and as a framework she can offer clients when relevant to their own self-understanding.

Spend time clarifying your intentions and writing down the questions you'd like to bring to the Higher Self. Arrive well-rested and hydrated, avoid heavy meals beforehand, wear comfortable clothing, and try to keep your evening open for integration.

Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before the session, along with recreational substances, high-stress activities, and crowded environments. Get good sleep the night before. Continue any prescribed medications normally.

Generally no. Another person's presence can subtly influence what you access and what you feel free to share. The space is designed for full privacy and confidentiality so you can go as deep as you are ready to go without any concern for how you appear.

Readiness asks for three things: genuine curiosity about your inner world, willingness to be present with whatever arises, and basic psychological stability. The discovery call is the best place to assess readiness together.

Skepticism is welcome and does not prevent a meaningful session. Many of the most impactful sessions involve clients who arrived initially skeptical but curious. The material that comes through doesn't require advance belief; willingness to relax and be present matters most.

Integration continues through vivid dreams, spontaneous insights, emotional releases, physical sensations, or a deepening sense of clarity. Alexis recommends resting the day of the session, journaling, spending time in nature, staying hydrated, and being gentle with yourself in the days that follow.

Integration is the process of absorbing and embodying the insights of a session. The bridge from inner experience to actual changes in your life. Without it, even profound sessions can fade. Alexis supports integration through the follow-up call, transcripts, post-session support, and practices like journaling and meditation.

No. QHHT® is not medical treatment and does not diagnose, treat, or cure conditions. It is complementary and works alongside professional care. Please seek appropriate care first for acute medical conditions or psychological crises.

Meditation is typically self-directed mind-quieting without a specific destination. Hypnosis is guided, using relaxed mind states for specific exploration or healing. QHHT® uses hypnosis as a vehicle for guided exploration of subconscious material and Higher Self communication.

A QHHT® session with Alexis is priced at $888. This includes the full pre-session interview, the hypnosis journey, the closing integration conversation, a full audio recording of your session, a typed transcript and summary, and a follow-up integration call one to two weeks afterward. The investment also includes the cost of creating a dedicated in-person space for your experience.

This investment reflects the depth, length, and comprehensive support included in the session, as well as Alexis's training, experience, and the personalized preparation and follow-up provided for each client.

A Soul ALIGNED Hypnosis Journey with Alexis is priced at $555. This includes your full session experience, personalized preparation, the hypnosis journey itself, a full audio recording of your session, a typed transcript and summary, and post-session integration support including a follow-up call.

This investment reflects the depth of the work, the individualized preparation and support provided before and after your session, and Alexis's training, experience, and integrative approach to transformation. An in-person option is available as an add-on for an additional $111.

The discovery call is a complimentary 30-minute conversation in which you and Alexis connect before committing to a session. This call matters because the quality of a QHHT® or subconscious healing session is shaped enormously by the trust and rapport between client and practitioner. Alexis is selective about who she works with, not because of judgment, but because she is committed to offering sessions only in contexts where she genuinely feels she can be of service. The call is also an opportunity for you to ask questions, share what you are hoping for, and feel into whether this work and this practitioner feel right for you. There is no pressure on either side.

For QHHT® sessions and The Soul ALIGNED Hypnosis Journey, the process begins with scheduling a complimentary discovery call through the booking link on the website. After the call, if both you and Alexis feel aligned, you will move forward to schedule your full session. For the Soul Strategy Session, you can book directly without a discovery call. If you have questions before booking, you are welcome to reach out by email at getalignedwithalexis@gmail.com.

In-person sessions are available in the Austin, Texas area. Specific location details are shared after the discovery call and session booking are confirmed. The session environment is designed to be quiet, comfortable, and conducive to deep relaxation, as the physical space plays an important role in supporting the depth of the hypnotic state.

Yes. Alexis offers both virtual and in-person sessions.

Many clients love virtual sessions because they're able to remain in the comfort and safety of their own homes, which can feel deeply supportive for this type of work, as long as there is a strong and reliable Wi-Fi connection.

At the same time, some people feel called to step outside of their everyday environment and experience this work in person, especially if they're craving space away from their normal routine or responsibilities.

Both formats can be powerful in different ways, and Alexis is thoughtful about helping each client choose the experience that feels most aligned for them.
