People thinking about booking a QHHT session with me often ask what the whole arc looks like, from first contact to the afternoon after. The process is simpler than most expect, but there are enough moving pieces that I want to lay it out clearly. What follows is exactly what I tell clients when we first speak, written out so that anyone considering a session in Laren can see the full shape before deciding.
- The process begins with a short initial message or call, usually to talk through whether the method is a good fit for what you are bringing
- Once we agree to work together, we schedule a date with enough lead time for the week-long preparation to unfold naturally
- The session itself takes place in Laren and lasts four to six hours, including intake, hypnosis, and integration
- Afterwards, clients receive a recording of the session and a brief integration note within a few days
- I am available for a follow-up conversation in the weeks afterwards if anything needs to be revisited or clarified
First contact
Most people reach me through the website, either by a written message or by booking an initial phone conversation. That first contact is informal. I ask a few questions about what you are bringing to the session, what you have read or not read about the method, and what you hope for. You ask whatever you need to ask. This conversation is not a sales call. It is where we both decide whether QHHT is the right tool for the moment you are in.
In my experience, about eighty per cent of people who reach out are already a good match. Some are not. Occasionally, what someone is bringing is better suited to a different method, and I will tell them that directly and suggest alternatives. I have written about how to think about this fit, and the first conversation is often where that thinking is completed. If the method is right for you, we move ahead. If not, no time is wasted.
Choosing a date
Once we have agreed to work together, we choose a session date. I usually suggest at least ten days out, and ideally two to three weeks, so that the preparation I ask for has room to unfold. I have written about the week before in detail. Clients who give themselves that window consistently report arriving in a better state than clients who book for the following day because a slot has opened up.
Sessions are scheduled in late morning or early afternoon, depending on your travel situation. If you are travelling from further afield, we may arrange the session to begin later to allow for a calm arrival. The booking is confirmed in writing, and I send you a short preparation document that covers everything up to the day itself.
Preparation
Between booking and the session, your role is mostly to let the week shape you toward the day rather than to try to control it. The details of this have their own post, but the short version is this. Gradually reduce caffeine and alcohol. Keep a notebook by the bed. Write your questions slowly, over several days. Block the afternoon and evening after the session so nothing can creep in. Choose your travel route with a little time to spare. None of this is demanding. It is simply a slow tilting toward the session.
Something I often see is that clients who worry about preparing enough are the ones who prepare perfectly by simply taking these suggestions seriously. The method does not require anything special. It requires the absence of what would otherwise get in the way. The day-of checklist is a natural continuation of this longer arc.
The day itself
On the day, you arrive at my practice in Laren with your list of questions on paper. We begin with a long conversation over tea, which typically lasts between ninety minutes and two hours. This is not preamble. It is part of the session. It is where I learn what you are really bringing and where your own mind begins to settle.
From there we move to the hypnosis phase. You lie down, I guide you into a relaxed state, and we work through regression material and then the Higher Self conversation. This middle phase lasts roughly two to three hours, though the sense of time inside it is different from clock time. Afterwards we have a closing conversation, lighter than the first, where we talk about what arrived and what you might want to sit with in the days to come. The total time, door to door, is usually four to six hours. I have described this arc more experientially elsewhere.
Afterwards
You leave Laren with a recording of the session on a small device or a file sent to your email, depending on your preference. I send a brief written note within a few days summarising the key points that emerged and any specific suggestions the Higher Self offered. Clients often tell me that rereading this note in the weeks that follow is almost as useful as the session itself.
The afternoon and evening that follow are protected rest. A walk, a quiet meal, an early night. I ask clients not to schedule demanding work or difficult conversations in this window. I have written about those hours in detail. The integration continues for days and sometimes weeks. Dreams often become more vivid. Small patterns become visible. Decisions that had been unclear often clarify on their own.
If you have more questions
I am available for a short follow-up conversation in the weeks after the session if something needs revisiting or clarifying. This is included in the session and not charged separately. Most clients do not need it, but knowing it is available is itself part of the integration. You are not dropped the moment the session ends.
For clients who want to read more about what a session might be like before booking, I have written a general overview of a first visit to my practice. Between that post, the preparation notes, and this summary of the process, most of what you might want to know before reaching out is already here. The next step, if you are ready, is the first short message. Everything after that unfolds at a pace the session has been quietly designed to support.
