Everything you might want to know before stepping into this work, about the modalities, the process, and what to expect.

about QHHT
What is QHHT?+

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.

Who developed QHHT and what is its history?+

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 2 Certified and approved by Julia Cannon.

How is QHHT different from traditional hypnotherapy?+

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.

What can QHHT help with?+

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.

What is the Higher Self in QHHT?+

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.

Do I need to believe in past lives to benefit from QHHT?+

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.

Is QHHT safe?+

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.

Can everyone be hypnotized?+

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.

What is a theta brainwave state?+

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.

How long is a QHHT session?+

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.

What happens during the hypnosis portion of a QHHT session?+

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.

Will I remember what happens during my session?+

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.

Will I be in control during the session?+

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.

What if nothing comes up or I feel like I cannot be hypnotized?+

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.

Can results happen in a single session?+

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.

Soul ALIGNED™ Breakthrough Hypnosis Journey
Do I need to book a discovery call before working with you?+

Yes. Every client begins with a complimentary 30-minute discovery call. This is the space where we connect, explore where you are in your journey, and identify the pathway that feels most aligned for you. It's the doorway into all of the journeys.

What is the difference between QHHT® and the Soul ALIGNED™ Breakthrough Hypnosis Journey?+

QHHT® is an expansive, 5–6-hour in-person experience following Dolores Cannon's original method. It is best suited for those drawn to past-life or childhood regression, Higher Self communication, spiritual exploration, and insight into physical, emotional, energetic, or soul-level questions.

The Soul ALIGNED™ Breakthrough Journey is a personalized, two-session hypnotherapy process focused on understanding and transforming one specific fear, pattern, or emotional block. It combines root-cause exploration, a custom hypnosis journey created specifically for you, coaching, practical transformation tools, and a recording you can continue using for reinforcement.

In short, choose QHHT® for broad spiritual and soul-level exploration. Choose the Soul ALIGNED™ Breakthrough Journey when you have a specific concern you are ready to change.

Who is the Soul ALIGNED™ Breakthrough Journey for?+

This journey is for anyone who feels stuck in a specific fear, emotional block, or recurring pattern, especially when understanding it logically has not been enough to create lasting change.

It may also support you if you feel caught between who you have been and who you are becoming, and want a personalized combination of hypnotherapy, coaching, and practical tools to help you move forward.

What does a Soul ALIGNED™ Breakthrough Journey feel like?+

Clients often describe hypnosis as deeply calming, clarifying, and emotionally meaningful. You remain aware and in control while being guided beneath the surface of your usual thoughts to explore the beliefs, emotions, and earlier experiences connected to your concern.

Your second session is created specifically for you, so the experience may feel less like receiving generic advice and more like helping your mind and body understand, release, and respond differently to something you have been carrying.

about Alexis
What is Alexis's background and training?+

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 2 Certified QHHT® Practitioner approved by Julia Cannon, 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.

What is a Human Design Reflector and why does it matter?+

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.

How is Aligned with Alexis different from other QHHT practitioners?+

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.

How does Alexis's astrological blueprint support her work?+

Alexis's chart carries strong Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Virgo influences, creating a natural combination of depth, perspective, and grounded guidance.

Her Sun, Mars, and Pluto in Scorpio support her ability to look beneath the surface, recognize hidden patterns, and guide deep transformation without shying away from difficult emotions.

Her Sagittarius Moon and Mercury help her find the greater meaning within your experiences, offer new perspectives, and reconnect you with possibility, purpose, and a wider understanding of your journey.

Her Virgo rising and Venus in Virgo bring discernment, thoughtful attention to detail, and a practical approach. They help her organize what emerges and translate profound insights into clear guidance you can integrate into your everyday life.

Together, these influences allow Alexis to help you uncover what is hidden, understand what it means, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.

What is Human Design and why does Alexis reference it?+

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.

preparing for your session
How should I prepare for my session?+

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.

What should I avoid before my session?+

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.

Can I bring someone with me to my session?+

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.

How do I know I am ready for this work?+

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.

What if I am skeptical?+

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.

What should I expect in the days after my session?+

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.

What is integration and why does it matter?+

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.

Can QHHT replace medical or psychiatric treatment?+

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.

What is the difference between hypnosis and meditation?+

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.

What is the discovery call and why is it part of the process?+

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.

How do I book a session?+

For QHHT® sessions and the Soul ALIGNED™ Breakthrough 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.

Where are in-person sessions held?+

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.

Are payment plans or financing available?+

Yes. For those who would love a more flexible path to investing in this work, financing is available at checkout through Klarna and Affirm. Both options allow you to split the cost of your session into manageable payments over time, with terms tailored to what works best for you.

Please note that a 6% processing fee is added to the total when financing through these providers, which covers the cost of offering this option. If you'd prefer to avoid the additional fee, paying in full at checkout is always an option.

Does Alexis offer virtual sessions?+

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.
