Hypnotherapy and Energy Coaching: A Real-Life Transformation Journey by Loretta Green, MSc

Here, at the Root of Health, my work is rooted in presence, trust, and soul-deep transformation. Recently, I had the profound honour of guiding a long-time friend and client through a powerful hypnotherapy and energy coaching session—one that illustrates just how deep this work can go when we’re finally ready to meet ourselves fully. With her full permission, I will share the journey with you.

This dear friend and I have been walking our personal and professional healing paths for years. We originally met in 2022 through an online program and quickly became close—drawn together by similar upbringings, values, and an uncanny number of life synchronicities. We meet weekly, not just to connect as friends, but to engage in real, sacred coaching work. We bring different tools to the table, complementing each other's gifts. What I offer in my sessions—hypnotherapy, energy healing, somatic practices, and deep intuitive guidance—she receives with openness and trust. And in return, I witness transformation unfold.

The Block That Needed to Be Seen

For over a year, she had been experiencing profound insights during our sessions—bursts of clarity and motivation—but those shifts often felt fleeting. Life would kick in, identities like "mother" and "wife" would resurface, and old patterns would re-emerge. She battled fatigue, anxiety, and gut issues, and while she sought medical advice, nothing seemed to bring lasting relief. Beneath it all, we both sensed a deeper root cause—something unspoken, unseen, yet ready to rise.

This time, we were ready. She was ready. The hidden part inside her was ready.

We agreed to use hypnotherapy as the gateway—allowing her conscious mind to rest, so her subconscious could step forward and express the truth it had been holding for decades.

What Hypnotherapy Is and Is Not

Before I go further, I want to be clear: hypnotherapy is a safe, collaborative, and entirely a consensual process. It is not about mind control or losing consciousness. Rather, it is a state of relaxed awareness—an invitation into a focused, receptive space where the subconscious mind can be accessed with clarity and compassion. Hypnosis is simply a relaxed, focused state that we all naturally experience daily — like when we’re deeply absorbed in a book or a beautiful piece of music.

The client remains fully in control at all times. I do not implant suggestions or direct the narrative. I guide, I support, and I hold the space—but the client’s inner wisdom leads the way. Hypnotherapy is not about bypassing the mind. It’s about gently inviting the protective mechanisms to soften, so deeper truths can rise and be witnessed with love.

The Session: Entering the Ethereal State

As always, we began with the breath.

Breath is life. Breath is vitality. Breath is power.

I guided her into stillness through deep, conscious breathing—grounding her nervous system and inviting safety into the body. I then led her through a gentle, spoken visualization paired with a carefully curated playlist designed to soften the edges of her awareness. Her body relaxed, her mind drifted, and she entered what I call the Ethereal State—a liminal space where healing truly begins.

In this altered state, I invited her subconscious forward. As a coach, I don't impose; I guide. I ask the right questions, offer perspectives, and hold a sacred container so the work can emerge from within you. During this session, a previously hidden part of her came forth. For the first time, it was ready to be seen.

A Hidden Memory, A New Birth Story

That part held a memory that echoed through her life: “It’s all our fault.”

Simple words, but they carried the weight of decades. This subtle phrase had been internalized as a truth, shaping her identity with guilt, people-pleasing tendencies, and chronic self-abandonment.

An image arose during the session: she was a newborn, and the very first imprint she received was the belief that her birth caused pain. From that moment forward, she carried the subconscious story that her very existence hurt others. For 45 years, this belief shaped her life—leading her to over give, overcompensate, and overextend herself in relationships.

Through guided visualization, I helped her reimagine that birth moment. This time, she saw her mother smiling down at her, full of love and joy, whispering, “We are a family.” That new image became a healing balm—rewriting the script of her first moments on Earth. And then something extraordinary happened: The part that had hidden in fear stepped forward and declared its name.

“Zara.”

(Zara, in her words, wanted to be known—no anonymity needed. She was proud, radiant, and ready to help.)

Integration and Embodiment

From that moment, Zara was no longer a hidden saboteur, but a wise inner guide. With my support through energy coaching and integration practices, my client welcomed Zara home. She now calls upon her whenever anxiety or grief arises—knowing she’s not alone, but deeply supported from within. As she returned from the Ethereal State, she picked up her pen and allowed Zara’s wisdom to flow onto the page. The first message?

“Find joy.”

More insights followed—reminders of what truly matters, and how to reclaim her life with purpose and power.

The Afterglow: A New Way of Being

When the session ended, she noticed a distinct shift—not just mentally, but physically. Her breath was deeper. Her body felt lighter. Her face looked different, as though a layer of tension had melted away.

She later wrote in her journal notes and shared with me:

"Feeling so grateful to our sister Loretta for connecting us, helping us see where we were and stepping into this transformation in love. With so much care and concern, with no judgment, with nothing to gain aside from helping us heal. So, so grateful.”

A Profound Experience for Both of Us

This session wasn’t just life-changing for her — it was deeply impactful for me, too. To witness someone open themselves with such vulnerability, to trust me to hold sacred space while they journey into the deepest parts of their psyche — that is something I never take lightly. It's an honour I hold with deep reverence.

Before we began, we spoke candidly about the repeating patterns she had been facing — the cyclical nature of breakthroughs followed by shutdowns. I asked, “Will this actually work?” And then, bravely, she said, “I’m ready to go deep. I trust you.”

That trust is something I felt at the core of my being.

As she surrendered into the process, I witnessed something extraordinary — a genuine shift in energy that was palpable. It wasn’t just her words or her tears or the powerful visuals that came through. It was a profound energetic recalibration. It felt like witnessing magick in real time.

I was humbled.

Holding space for this session reminded me of why I do this work. It reaffirmed my belief that when we create safety, when we honour the sacredness of healing, and when we trust the intelligence of the subconscious — true transformation is not only possible, it's inevitable.

I left that session feeling immense gratitude. Not just for the work we did together, but for the courage of the human spirit.

For the willingness to be seen.

For the beauty of becoming whole again.
