Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexandra Sasha Tarakanov.
Hi Alexandra Sasha, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
It feels as though the universe conspired to craft a multifaceted social and cultural journey for me — one that exposed me to the many ways humans seek and define truth.
My Soul’s path on Earth began in Ukraine, when the country was still under the firm sway of socialist ideology. Life in that system came with many restrictions on personal freedom, but perhaps the most profound was the absence of spiritual space. Faith or belief in a higher power was ridiculed, dismissed as primitive, and overshadowed by the worship of science and rationality.
When my family immigrated to Israel after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the socialist regime, I was fifteen years old and found myself immersed in a society that revered religion, where spiritual dogma was deeply woven into politics and daily life. For fifteen years, I lived within this opposite paradigm, absorbing both its gifts and its limits.
During that time, I pursued my Master of Science degree from the prestigious Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, where my academic research explored how older adults interact with technology. I also earned a BA in Fine Arts and Education, combining creativity with a scientific mind. My research was later presented at the Royal College of Art in London (2005) and published in the Gerontechnology Journal.
After moving to the United States, my world expanded once more. For fifteen years, I taught art and design, founded the Alla Prima Art School, and helped people unlock their creativity. Yet even as I guided others to express their inner world, I sensed a deeper layer calling — an inner knowing that neither science nor religion alone could satisfy.
This realization prompted me to turn inward through hypnosis. When the “truths” imposed by others no longer resonate, the Soul begins seeking its own. I followed that calling, studying at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute (HMI) in Los Angeles and the Quantum Healing Hypnosis Academy (QHHT) founded by Dolores Cannon.
I am now honored to be a Level 3 Quantum Healing Hypnosis Practitioner — a distinction held by fewer than fifty practitioners worldwide — and a certified QHHT teacher. My practice has grown to serve clients from across the U.S. and internationally, often booked months in advance by people seeking clarity, healing, and connection to their Higher Self.
Alongside QHHT, I am also a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Life Between Lives (LBL) practitioner. Over the years, I’ve conducted more than a thousand regression sessions, helping individuals and groups explore their spiritual origins, unlock healing, and awaken their intuitive potential.
From Healing to Teaching and Retreats
Beyond my therapeutic work, I am passionate about teaching and community experiences. I created the “Self-Hypnosis for Self-Mastery” program and the “Spiritual Hypno-Coach Certification Program” — frameworks that empower people to explore consciousness and master their inner human technology.
Fluent in English, Russian, and Hebrew, I love sharing wisdom with diverse audiences and guiding people from around the world. My retreats in Mt. Shasta and Sedona offer sacred, transformative environments where participants connect with their Soul family and the wisdom of the Earth.
As I often tell my clients:
“I truly believe that my Soul’s purpose is to support people in their self-discovery journey and guide them toward reaching new heights and abilities. I am grateful for the trust people place in me, and I consider it a reward.”
My current research focuses on hypnosis regressions with healers and the use of audio recordings to facilitate spiritual expansion — a natural continuation of my Soul’s mission. Through this work, my intuition has deepened, and my connection to my Higher Self has strengthened. I listen closely to this inner guidance and feel immense gratitude to be part of the vast, non-physical team of creators contributing to collective awakening.
Ultimately, my journey — from the constraints of socialism to the faith-based structures of Israel, to the creative and spiritual freedom of the U.S. — reflects a continuous evolution of consciousness. It is a reminder that truth is not given to us; it is rediscovered within.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It wasn’t a smooth ride — my path has been anything but linear, and that’s where its beauty lies. Trusting my spiritual guidance was one of my greatest challenges. For years, I kept my spiritual gifts private, even as I was practicing hypnosis and creative teaching. I worried: “How will my family respond? How will my art school clients react?”
About 15 years ago, I finally decided to open up. I began sharing my spiritual experiences and insights with my loved ones and with students at my art school. To my surprise, instead of judgment, I found curiosity and resonance. Many of the people I feared would reject me were actually exploring their own spirituality. That moment transformed my relationships, creating a new level of connection and authenticity between us.
Another challenge was learning to move forward without a roadmap. In my family and social environment, there were no examples of someone walking a path like mine — blending art, science, hypnosis, and spirituality. At times, it felt like stepping into the unknown. My mind longed for a plan, yet my Soul kept whispering, “Just take the next step.”
Trusting my intuition fully was difficult at first. But each time I listened, small miracles unfolded: opportunities appeared, support arrived, and even people whose opinions I had feared became my closest allies — and in some cases, my students.
Over time, I learned that when you follow the quiet guidance within, the path reveals itself, and the universe conspires to support you. This practice of intuitive trust continues to shape not just my work but my life.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
At the heart of my work is a deep commitment to helping people reconnect with their Soul’s wisdom — to remember who they truly are beyond the layers of conditioning, fear, and limitation.
I founded my practice to offer transformational hypnotherapy and spiritual regression, using techniques such as Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT), Clinical Hypnotherapy, and Life Between Lives (LBL) sessions. These experiences allow clients to access expanded states of consciousness, explore past and parallel lives, receive healing, and communicate directly with their Higher Self — the all-knowing aspect of their being.
Through these sessions, people gain clarity about their life purpose, release emotional blocks, and often experience profound physical or energetic healing. I’m proud to hold the Level 3 QHHT certification, a credential achieved by fewer than fifty practitioners worldwide, as well as to serve as a QHHT Academy Teacher, training new practitioners in this sacred work.
Programs and Retreats
Beyond one-on-one sessions, I’ve created signature programs that help people integrate these teachings into daily life:
I am deeply passionate about guiding group sessions that weave together meditation, past-life regression, and self-hypnosis. In these gatherings, I hold a sacred space where participants can enter altered states of consciousness — spaces of stillness and expanded awareness where the mind quiets, the heart opens, and the Soul begins to speak. Through these journeys, I teach practical tools for self-help and self-mastery, empowering people to connect with their inner wisdom, release limitations, and awaken their natural capacity for healing and creation.
My intention is always to remind each person that the answers they seek already live within them. The same depth of awareness we access in regression or hypnosis can be consciously cultivated through regular self-hypnosis and mindfulness practice, helping us navigate life with greater clarity, peace, and purpose.
I am honored to share this work on a wider scale as part of the “Journey Into the Soul” series, which will be aired on Gaia TV — a platform dedicated to consciousness, transformation, and the exploration of the human spirit.
I also lead spiritual retreats to Mt. Shasta, California and Sedona, Arizona — sacred lands that hold powerful energetic frequencies. These retreats combine deep hypnosis journeys, group meditations, sound activations, and nature immersions. They’re designed as Soul Family gatherings — experiences that reconnect us to the planet, to one another, and to the divine essence within.
Each retreat is an opportunity to step away from the noise of life and tune into a higher vibration — to remember, realign, and expand.
What Sets My Work Apart
What truly sets my approach apart is its fusion of science, art, and spirituality. My academic background in Fine Arts, Education, and Science (Technion Institute of Technology), combined with decades of research and teaching, allows me to bridge the analytical and the intuitive — the rational mind and the spiritual heart.
My work is deeply intuitive yet grounded, creative yet structured. I don’t follow a rigid script; every session is a unique co-creation guided by the client’s Higher Self and by the subtle intelligence of the moment.
I see each person as an evolving masterpiece — and my role is simply to hold the mirror until they remember their brilliance.
Brand Essence and Mission
My brand represents conscious evolution — empowering individuals to access their inner technology as spiritual beings navigating the human experience.
I’m most proud of the trust that my clients place in me — the transformations I witness daily, and the growing global community of students, healers, and seekers who resonate with this work.
At its core, everything I do is about awakening self-mastery — helping people align with the creative intelligence within them and live from their highest potential.
“We are all capable of far more than we’ve been taught to believe.
My mission is to help people remember — and experience — that truth firsthand.”
What are your plans for the future?
As I look ahead, my vision continues to unfold with a sense of deep trust and excitement. I plan to keep offering my one-on-one sessions, which remain the heart of my work — supporting individuals in healing, awakening, and connecting with their Higher Self through QHHT, hypnotherapy, and regression.
At the same time, I am expanding my retreats to even more energetically powerful locations, such as Mount Shasta, Sedona, and other sacred sites around the world. These retreats serve as portals for personal transformation, where we gather as a Soul family to reconnect with nature, higher consciousness, and the wisdom that lives within each of us.
Another part of my vision is to nurture a conscious community through regular group gatherings at my home — intimate evenings of meditation, group regression, and shared energy work. I love collaborating with others who bring their own unique gifts — musicians, sound healers, and channelers — to co-create multidimensional experiences that awaken the heart and raise collective vibration.
I also work privately with those who feel called to develop their own channeling abilities, guiding them to trust their intuition and open to higher frequencies of communication. Watching others awaken their gifts is one of the most fulfilling aspects of my journey.
Ultimately, my future plans are guided not by rigid structure but by intuition and flow. I am listening closely to where the energy wants to move — expanding the work, deepening the community, and continuing to be a bridge between worlds, helping others remember that they are both human and divine.
