PLR Certification — Past Life Regression Practitioner
$4,997 — Self-paced, typically 3–4 weeks. The flagship training. For practitioners who want to offer regression work with genuine depth and ethical integrity.
Not Just a Script — A Complete Framework for deep consciousness-Level Healing
Most past life regression courses teach you a script. Follow the words, hope for a good result — and if something goes wrong, there’s not much to fall back on.
This training is different. It teaches you how to safely guide the deep inner journeys that clients remember for the rest of their lives. Grounded in both clinical hypnotherapy and a decade of lived monastic practice — because technique alone is not enough when a client starts shaking, crying, or questioning the meaning of their life.
What Makes This Training Unique
John Wakefield spent ten years as a monk. Not as a gap year or a phase — as a lived discipline of meditation, self-inquiry, and inner practice, day after day. That experience shapes every part of this certification.
When you train with What Was I, you learn to hold a sacred, grounded container for clients. To sit with strong emotion without flinching. To listen beneath the story for the deeper pattern. To treat each session as a sincere meeting with the client’s inner life — not a performance.

This isn’t a weekend course. This is an advanced, specialist certification that builds on real hypnotherapy competence and adds a layer of depth that no other provider offers:
• A uniquely positioned program — blends clinical hypnotherapy, structured PLR, and ten years of devoted inner practice. Competitors may offer technique; they do not offer this depth of lived experience.
• Designed for premium practice — graduates learn to position PLR as a high-value offering. One or two well-priced PLR clients per month can comfortably cover both training and ongoing supervision.
• Ongoing development — access to the Practitioner Circle CPD community and premium supervision ensures you grow from competent beginner to confident practitioner over your first year in practice.
This program is a private, intensive skills training — not an association-recognised clinical qualification. It is designed for career-changers who want to start working in a small practice or inner/holistic setting and value ongoing supervision over long academic programs.
