Guidance for blending past life regression with hypnotherapy, coaching, or energy healing
A Course Rooted in Experience and Innovation
While many past life regression trainings rely on outdated or incomplete models, The Awakening Path offers a uniquely integrative approach.
Mary Lee has personally facilitated thousands of regression sessions and trained hundreds of practitioners worldwide.
Her original methods—including the LaBay Method and Integrative Hypnotherapy framework—blend psychology, energy awareness, and soul guidance into a process that is both practical and sacred.
This isn’t just theory. You’ll learn the same techniques she uses in her private practice to help clients achieve lasting healing, insight, and transformation.
Every module builds logically upon the last, so your confidence and skill deepen with each lesson. You’ll gain practical tools, transformative experiences, and a strong foundation for offering this profound modality to your clients.
You'll find these modalities have roots in:
• Psychology (Gestalt, Perls, Freud, Jung, and others)
• Neuro-linguistic Programming (Erickson, Bandler, Grindler, and others)
• Indigenous practices (Celtic and Native American Shamanism, and the like)
• New physics (time/space, aspect theory)
• Transpersonal mysticism (energy, intuition, past lives, between lives, and much more)
This is the same course Mary Lee has instructed for nearly 30 years in institutes of higher education such as Bastyr University and Bellevue College, and other locations.
Who is this course for?
This course is designed for:
- Certified hypnotherapists and coaches who want to expand their skills
- Energy healers and spiritual practitioners seeking to integrate regression therapy
- Psychotherapists and counselors who wish to deepen transpersonal work
- Seekers and spiritual explorers called to understand their own soul journey
Whether you’re already established in the healing arts or just beginning your professional path, The Awakening Path offers an unforgettable experience of personal and professional evolution.
No previous education or experience necessary.
All that's required of you is a deep desire to help people improve their lives, and to play your part in making this a better world to live in.
“I can’t imagine you could find a better teacher.”
“If hypnotherapy is of interest to you, then I heartily recommend Mary Lee’s course. She knows the material ‘like the back of her hand,’ and is quite adept at teaching it to others. (She actually wrote the text book!) By the end of the first day, you will already be able to do some things in the hypnotherapy realm, and as you proceed through the training, you will be amazed how much you have learned and how much you are able to actually “do.”
I’ve found that the students in her class quickly bond with each other. And Mary Lee is incredibly accessible outside class as well. If hypnotherapy is your goal, I can’t imagine you could find a better teacher–or a better program.”
- Rick Lowell, Attorney
“I loved the client-centered focus of the tools.”
"My experience with the online learning platform allowed me to go at my own pace through the material. I felt supported as I progressed through the course with my questions being answered and having conference calls with Mary Lee to personalize my experience. I loved the client-centered focus of the tools and the ways in which they provide interaction with the client in a very empowering and self-discovering fashion. I look forward to continuing to develop the tools I've gained through Mary Lee's program and hope to take an in-person class with her in the future..”
- Jill S, Mental Health Counselor
"I loved everything about the Hypnotherapy & Past Life training!"
I was able to watch Mary Lee in her zone of expertise. This will add something unique to my coaching tool bag, so my clients will get the deep transformation they are looking for. My experience of attending this training was magical. Mary Lee created the perfect learning environment where we all felt welcomed, and safe, and okay to make mistakes as we learned. We laughed together, we cried together, we went into trance and we learned so much more than Hypnotherapy and Past Life Regression. Mary Lee is an expert and master at her craft, and to have her as my teacher is an honor not only to learn invaluable techniques in this training, but I was able to do some of my own healing as well. I’m beyond excited and proud I have these new skills and to be able to serve my clients in such an important and life-changing way.

Why this training is different
Most traditional (old-fashioned) trainings will teach you to rely on scripts. Hours of research, writing, or leafing through tomes of script books, just to prepare yourself for your one-hour client.
If that sounds like a waste of your time, it’s because it is.
While you do have to understand the basic structures of the techniques, as a healer you already know that each individual is different. You can’t memorize scripts out of a book and expect them to work for everyone.
The evolution of hypnotherapy and past life regression as healing modalities has been exquisite.
And I have played a major role in ushering them into their new form.
The LaBay Method focuses on client-centered, soulful protocols to draw out insights. No more awkward scripts.
Just engaged dialogue with your client's subconscious mind.
My trainings are:
• uniquely developed from decades of hands-on practice and careful evolution of the techniques
• curated to bring you the most effective results, while covering the wide range of presenting issues typically encountered in a well-rounded practice
• and they elegantly span the spectrum from clinical applications to spiritual, for the inclusion of healing and growth on all levels, holistically.
Unlike many trainings that pass you off to numerous teachers and drop the connection when you graduate, I will be your instructor throughout the course and continue to be there for you in numerous ways throughout your career.

I know. It is a lot to cover in one training. I take pride in being thorough, and I want each of my students to be successful. But don’t be concerned now about getting through or understanding it all.

And that’s how I have structured The LaBay Method course. Let me assure you that my approach to hypnotherapy and past life regression is…

“Easy Navigation...Lesson Plan Flowed.”
“I am so excited to have studied with such a knowledgeable teacher and mentor. Mary Lee was very accessible; I felt supported and always received feedback quickly when I had a question while taking the online course
The way the course is created makes navigation easy and the lesson plan flowed seamlessly to keep me on track. The material is interesting and enlightening. I will take more courses from you in the future, Mary Lee, and may plan a trip from Florida so I can take one in person. It is imperative to my practice and reputation to train with the best!
Thanks for everything!”
- Robin Graves,
Certified Hypnotherapist & Past Life Regression Specialist
“Packed with techniques, insights, and depth.”
“I signed up for the Hypnotherapy & Past Life Regression online course, after undergoing previous trainings, as I felt I needed more of a foundation in hypnosis principles.
This training is packed with techniques, insights and depth. The online structure is really easy to use and contains so much material - she also provides several PDF books with the course. As a student, you have access to Mary Lee. She is very responsive.
I am still reviewing and revisiting the material to glean more gems. This class is the real deal. You'll have people that you can practice the techniques on, so you can confidently know that you will be able to offer this work to clients.
The resources and tools she provides will also help you with a good business foundation.”
- Jill Hewins, C.Ht., MA Certified Past Life Regression Therapist
“Mary Lee creates a very safe space.”
“During my training with Mary Lee, I had the (voluntary!) chance to be a “demo” in front of the class to work out an interpersonal issue I was having in my life at the time. It seems like it would be quite scary to be in hypnosis in front of a big group, but actually Mary Lee creates a very safe space.
I was able to clear out very old patterns and find significant inner resources that shifted my experience in daily life without me having to do anything else! My energy changed, and the situation changed appropriately.
I witnessed others in the class having similarly transformative experiences. I have also seen my practice clients experience tremendous release and revelation simply because I follow the protocols Mary Lee is teaching.
I highly recommend working with her!”
- Jeanell Innerarity, Yoga Teacher and LMP
“Facilitate Transformation.”
“I feel honored to have studied with you. I am filled with joy and excitement when I think of the work and transformation that I can facilitate using this powerful work. Thank you for all of your gifts and knowledge. I am overflowing with gratitude and love for this healing art.”
- Marissa Castello, Naturopath, Motivational Hypnotherapist and Health Strategist
“…her credibility as a master teacher.”
“Mary Lee’s direct and consistent delivery in her principles and techniques only further lends to her credibility as a master teacher. She has also established an amazing community to keep students supported throughout their budding career and I still connect with her and my fellow students regularly for support.
Look no further for your training. There’s no other program like hers!
- Christa King, Certified Hypnotherapist, Certified Professional Coach and Reiki Practitioner
“Easy to navigate and top-notch quality.”
“Mary Lee, I want to thank you for your Hypnotherapy/ Past Life Regression course! I enjoyed it thoroughly. The course is very easy to navigate and the quality is top-notch. By the time I finished, I was so excited and confident. Mary Lee, thank you for always being available for consultations and email responses.

The Value of Your Education
This course is strategically designed to merge a select range of Hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques with an in-depth education in the concepts and skills of Past Life Regression.
A hypnotherapy practice lacks the necessary dimensionality when past lives are not considered and explored. Past lives give access to root causes, self-knowledge, purpose, addictions, relationships, and more.
Facilitating Past Life Regression is merely a sightseeing tour when the practitioner is not well-trained in an array of hypnotherapy techniques to enhance healing and self-knowledge.
Therefore, the two courses go hand-in-hand when building a comprehensive holistic practice for the highest quality of client care.
As soon as you register, you can get started with your studies.
You'll receive your certification when you complete the online course and evaluation.
