Today we’d like to introduce you to Mark Johnson.
Mark, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I grew up around this work, so in a way it feels like I started before I even knew it had a name.
My dad was a hypnotherapist and a past life regression therapist, so I had a front row seat to what happens when someone finally gets to the root of what they are carrying. I saw people come in with fear, grief, phobias, pain, confusion, and leave with something they had not felt in a long time, relief. Not because someone talked them into it, but because something inside them finally made sense.
For a long time, I took the practical road. I worked in the tech world, and I also spent years as a musician and teacher. I loved both, and they shaped how I work today. Tech taught me structure, systems, and how to keep things grounded. Music taught me timing, intuition, and how to listen beneath the words. Both of those skills turned out to be perfect preparation for guiding someone into a deep inner experience.
Then life hit me in a way I did not expect. When my mother passed, it changed everything. Grief has a way of opening doors you did not plan on opening. In my case, it brought me back to what I had seen all those years, and it made it personal. I wanted to understand consciousness at a deeper level, and yes, a part of me wanted connection. That became the moment where this work stopped being something I grew up around, and became what I was called to do.
From there I went all in. I trained, practiced, and started doing sessions, and I never stopped refining the craft. Over time, past life regression became one path, and deeper spiritual regression work became another. What stayed constant is the heart of it, helping people move from stuck to free, from confused to clear, from carrying to healing.
Today, I work with private clients, I lead group experiences, and I teach, which has become one of the most meaningful parts of my life. I love watching someone come in thinking, “I do not know if I can do this,” and then a few months later they are confidently helping other people change their lives. That never gets old.
If I had to sum it up, I did not choose this work because it sounded interesting. I chose it because I have seen what happens when a person reconnects with the deeper part of themselves. When that happens, healing stops being a theory, and it becomes an experience.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has been a great road, but I would not call it a smooth one.
One of the first real challenges happened early on, when I was trying to balance my first hypnosis training with a brand new job. I had a recruiter tell me, flat out, that I could not continue the training. At the time, that felt like one of those moments where you wonder, “Is this going to be an ongoing fight?” I had just started a new position at American Airlines, and I was trying to do everything the right way.
Then something interesting happened.
That recruiter quit two weeks after I started, and the whole situation shifted. My new boss turned out to be completely supportive. When he found out I was learning hypnosis, he got excited, not worried. He had been a psychology major, so instead of seeing it as a distraction, he saw it as something meaningful. He was actually pumped that I was doing it, and he was cool with me taking some time when I needed it.
That experience taught me something early on, which is that a lot of obstacles are not permanent, they are just temporary people, temporary policies, temporary timing. If you stay steady, things can change faster than you think.
Along the way, I have also seen that in this field, organizations change. Rules change. Leadership changes. Programs evolve. Sometimes those shifts create bumps in the road, and in the moment it can feel frustrating, like you are having to adapt again when you just got your footing.
But when I look at the bigger picture, it has always worked out.
Maybe not always the way I expected, but it has always worked out.
And I think that is part of the lesson in this kind of work. If you are doing something you really believe in, you keep going. You stay flexible, you stay grounded, you keep your focus on the clients and the students, and you let the temporary stuff be temporary.
That is how it has been for me. Not perfect, not always easy, but always worth it.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
At the simplest level, I help people get to the root.
Sometimes that root is in this lifetime, sometimes it is in a past life, and sometimes it is in the space between lives where the bigger story comes into focus. My job is to guide the process in a way that is grounded, respectful, and genuinely transformational, without pushing, without leading, and without turning it into something theatrical.
In my private practice, I work with people who feel stuck, anxious, heavy, confused, or blocked, even after they have tried everything else. We do the kind of work where a person can finally understand why a fear is there, why a pattern keeps repeating, why the body is holding tension, or why they feel a pull toward something they cannot explain. For many people, that clarity becomes the beginning of healing.
I specialize in past life regression and Life Between Lives spiritual regression, and I also do deep hypnotherapy work that helps clients resolve emotional patterns, release old trauma responses, and reconnect with their own inner guidance.
What I am known for is my ability to take people deep, safely, and in a way that still feels practical. I am not interested in making the session dramatic. I am interested in making it meaningful. I guide in a way that helps the client stay connected to their own experience, their own truth, and their own insights.
I am also an instructor, and teaching is a huge part of what I do. I train hypnotherapists and regression practitioners, and my style is very hands on. I do not just teach concepts, I demonstrate, and then I get my students doing the work. That is important to me because confidence comes from experience, not from reading scripts.
What I am most proud of is the ripple effect.
A client healing is powerful. A student learning how to create that kind of healing for other people is a whole different level. Watching someone walk into training unsure of themselves, and then watching them become a skilled, ethical, confident practitioner, that is one of the most meaningful things in my life.
What sets me apart is a combination of a few things.
First, I am second generation in this work. I grew up around hypnosis and regression, so it is in my bones, but I also bring structure and real world grounding to it.
Second, I care deeply about integrity. I teach and practice in a way that avoids leading questions, avoids planting ideas, and respects the subconscious mind. I want clients to discover, not perform.
Third, I blend depth with practicality. People can have profound spiritual experiences in a session, and still walk away with something they can actually use in their day to day life.
And finally, I genuinely love this work. I love watching people meet themselves at a deeper level, and I love helping them bring that back into their life in a way that creates real change.
Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
Yes, and I will keep it simple and real.
First, do not wait until you feel ready. Ready is not a feeling, it is a result. Confidence comes from doing sessions, learning from them, and doing the next one a little better.
Second, focus on being a great guide, not a great performer. Your job is not to impress anyone. Your job is to create safety, ask clean questions, and let the client’s experience unfold without steering it.
That leads to a big one I wish I understood earlier. The subconscious does not need you to be clever. It needs you to be present. When you slow down, listen, and stay curious, the session gets deeper on its own.
Also, do not underestimate the power of the pretalk. Most breakthroughs start before the induction. If you can help a client feel seen, feel safe, and feel clear about what they want, you have already done half the work.
Here is another lesson. Learn how to ask better questions. Open ended, neutral, and clean. The quality of your questions will shape the quality of the session. If you are leading, you may get an answer, but it might not be their truth. If you stay neutral, you give the subconscious room to show what is actually there.
I also tell new practitioners, practice your process until it is second nature. Not your script, your process. When you have a clear process, you can relax, you can improvise, and you can trust yourself.
And please hear this one.
Do not do this work alone.
Get support. Get supervision. Talk to other practitioners. Debrief sessions. Keep learning. This work can be deep and beautiful, and it can also stir things up in you. You want a place to process, sharpen your skills, and stay grounded.
Last thing I wish I knew.
Everything tends to work out if you stay with it.
You will have awkward sessions. You will have clients who do not go deep the first time. You will have days where you question yourself. That does not mean you are not meant for this. It means you are learning. Stay steady, keep practicing, keep refining your craft, and keep your heart in the right place.
