Our Services

 

Until not long ago Past Life Regression was treated as a sort of Cinderella by the Hypnotherapy community, with very few professionals offering this specialised service. Nowadays – after having noticed that an ever-growing public is interested in it – therapists have turned to PLR as a new field that can bring more business to their practice. Hence the appearance of many PLR courses for therapists and many therapists now offering this service. Unfortunately these courses only last a few days (sometimes just one or two days). Some therapists even offer PLR without having undergone any specific study in this field at all, thinking that they can offer a good service just because they are hypnotherapists.
A good past life therapist needs much more than that, because this technique (much more than Age Regression) requires in-depth knowledge of very varied and complex fields, besides the basic knowledge of conventional hypnotherapy shared by all hypnotherapists. The past life regressionist must be conversant in philosophy, history of religions, modern (quantum) science and spirituality in order to offer a good service to their clients. Without this background the service will be lacking in depth, understanding, resources and sometimes even appropriate techniques.
Quite often PL regressionists simply facilitate the revision of previous lives and nothing else, leaving the client with a large amount of emotional information but without any clue as to how to process and integrate it into their consciousness.
I have studied reincarnation, past life regression, near-death experiences and similar phenomena all my life (since my teens) from many different angles, some of these approaches even being part of my doctoral research, and I qualified in Advanced Hypnotherapy and Advanced Techniques of Hypnotic Regression, which I also use to help people to overcome traumas, phobias (even physical diseases in some cases) and other problems in this life through Age Regression (in which I have also specialised).

For these reasons I will not simply lead you through a tourist excursion into your distant past, but I will be able to safely guide you through removing old blockages and emotional wounds that can still interfere with your present life, cutting the ties with the negative emotions and limiting beliefs generated in those past lives, and letting go of painful experiences. If necessary, I shall also be able to put you in contact with your various past Selves so that you can rebalance your whole being. I shall guide you through assessing your past lives from a spiritual point of view while you are in the non-incarnated spiritual dimension, and understanding the lessons learnt in those lives in order to enhance and heal your present life. This new awareness will allow deep and powerful healing to occur so that your body, mind and spirit can be harmoniously realigned and an even and smooth flow of energy can be restored throughout all the planes. I shall also help you to trace back relationships with important people in your current lifetime, giving you a deeper understanding of the spiritual values of your present experiences. My PLR sessions normally consist of three parts: 1. the time some people need to discuss their problems before being regressed (some people come due to a general interest, but many come with a specific problem they want to solve, or a specific question); 2. the regression itself, which normally includes a revision of two past lives and is recorded onto CD, and 3. the time – after the regression – spent discussing the findings, and giving you instructions about what to do at home so that you can get the best from the session. A PLR is in fact a complex process in which the memories stored in the subconscious mind start being activated from the moment we decide to undergo a regression, and they continue in the days (sometimes even the weeks) afterwards and this is why I offer – besides the free CD recording of the regression – free follow-up support, because my commitment to you doesn't end when you leave my practice. In order to provide the best possible care for our clients, we accept only a limited number of bookings. As a practice we endeavour to provide support and guidance (via email and telephone) after a client has left our premises for as long as it benefits them, and this is offered for all the therapies available at The Apple Tree and Footprints from the Past.

 

What do I choose?

If you are considering having a Past Life Regression you have several choices about how to approach this profound experience; they complement each other rather than replace each other. Remember, there is not a right or wrong choice: there are only different approaches. Read below and decide which you feel more comfortable with: that's the best approach for you.

 

One-to-One sessions: this is the "real thing", the complete personalised session, the most complete approach, although it might not necessarily be your first approach: it is indispensable though for therapeutic purposes and specific issues.
Advantages
Direct feedback: I ask you a question and you reply, if you don't, I try in another way. Once you have replied I ask you another question based on your previous answer. I also give you the time you personally need to answer, and I encourage you in different ways if you encounter a difficulty. I take you to the end of the life recalled, just after death, and I ask you to revise that life. I suggest appropriate actions to make you either let go of and forgive the "mistakes" you made (deeds that you perceive as mistakes) or pick up the positive things and put them into your heart to help your present life. There are of course many other things that can be done in a one-to-one session – depending on the results of the investigation – which pertain to the field of advanced techniques (let go, meet the perpetrator of some negative action and cut the ties with them, investigate the spiritual world, investigate specific issues that bother or hamper your present life, interconnect your past Selves …)
Disadvantages
It takes between one and a half and two and half hours, which means it's more expensive than the other choices. In a few cases some people do not succeed in revising a past life at their first attempt. If it doesn't work it takes approximately one and a half hours to try alternative methods before giving up. Although the experience is always powerful in itself, it might not always be what you expected: so please keep an open mind. You might also feel more pressured to "perform", and therefore less relaxed and less able to enter the right mood.

 

Workshops – Group sessions: there is a choice of either a two-hour or a full day workshop. Workshops are ideal for meeting other like-minded people and discussing topics connected to Reincarnation, Karma and Spiritual issues. They are informative and very motivating. The two-hour version is a compact version of the full-day workshop. Please contact me for details if you are interested in this option. Also check our dedicated page by clicking here. Attending a workshop is also an excellent way to test your abilities without engaging yourself too much (financially speaking) or if a part of you feels some tension or anxiety at the idea of in-depth regression. On the basis of the experience you build up during the workshop you might consider attending a one-to-one session later on: the group session will allow you to make a more informed decision about it and you will spare yourself some of the preliminaries when attending a one-to-one.
Advantages
They are cheaper than one-to-one sessions. You have the opportunity to explore more technical aspects and the philosophy behind past life regressions, future life progressions, interlife explorations, soulmates, soul-group, twin flames … You also have the opportunity to ask questions and compare your knowledge on the subject with that of others. Because of the nature of group regressions you will feel less pressure to "perform". This relaxes the mind and makes it easier to succeed. Workshops are wonderful as motivators to pursue a spiritual path. You will also have the advantage of experiencing the powerful synergetic effect created by a group regression.
Disadvantages
The main disadvantage is that they are passive sessions: I ask questions and lead the group to places and situations but I cannot tailor the questions to your personal pace and issues and I cannot follow the events that you are personally experiencing. All the instructions are more generalised and the investigation is therefore obviously more limited.

 

CD Recording: a recorded regression on CD is more a tool to support regression work than a method in itself. A CD is excellent to use after a session (either group or one-to-one sessions) to help you to go deeper into the experience and discover more details. Even in the event that you haven't succeeded in recalling a past life, the recording is ideal to train yourself and familiarise yourself with the process, until you finally manage to gently overcome your blockages and have hints of past events, at your own individual pace. At that point you will be more confident to book a one-to-one session to investigate them and heal traumas. Finally I would like to remind the small minority of people who don't succeed in recalling a previous life at the first attempt that Dr Brian Weiss, the number one world specialist in this field, in spite of successfully regressing clients, spent three months of daily meditation before managing to recall one of his own previous lives: this proves, once more, that we are all different and that there are no general rules.
Advantages
You can play the CD as often as you want with a minimum financial investment. You can relax in the comfort of your home and try it when you really feel inspired to do so. In this way you completely free yourself from the pressure of having to "perform".
Disadvantages
It's like a group session minus the discussion and the analysis of the findings. The recorded version is also shorter than the group regressions experienced in the workshops, and it is obviously less motivating than attending a workshop. Although you can try the CD when you feel inspired to do so, it's a solitary path, and you cannot rely on external motivators nor can you receive help in overcoming problems.

Testimonials

 

Spectacular, unique: was it by chance or was it destiny? I don’t know, but for several years I had had the intention to have a past life regression, because I am very interested in spirituality and I have experienced psychic phenomena myself. For years I had searched Google to find someone qualified who could regress me, but I never found what I wanted and I gave up.
Some weeks ago however, I started searching Google again and – by chance – I came across Renata’s website, Footprints from the Past. I suddenly felt very curious about it and when I saw her photo I felt something inside myself telling me that she was the right person. For this reason I contacted her and took an appointment for a one-to-one session. I was very happy with that; I felt very much at ease to speak to her about my experiences and Renata definitely helped me a lot. After the session I felt more alive and I also felt that my love for my present life has increased.
I definitely recommend Renata to everyone wishing to have a PLR. Besides being a beautiful and patient person, very highly qualified, Renata has a very strong natural energy. After my one-to-one session I attended a one-day workshop on PLR and future life progression: it was a wonderful day and a wonderful experience. I had the pleasure to meet other like-minded people who were there for the same reason as me. The atmosphere was splendid: so positive!
You don’t need to have already had important psychic experiences to contact Renata. Curiosity, interest and the wish to investigate a past life are enough, whether you choose a one-to-one session or a workshop: believe me it’s worthwhile! The experience will change your life for the better, it will give you more energy, determination and motivation. You will have the feeling to have been reborn into a new person ready to face life with a big smile on your face. Thank you Renata, Thank you for existing.

When starting out as a newly qualified hypnotherapist many years ago, Renata provided me with support and taught me a great deal about hypnotherapy including invaluable knowledge about regression, how to overcome difficulties in practice and in depth knowledge about the business in general.

It is thanks to Renata that I now have a successful business today and I cannot thank her enough.

Shirley Grove-Grayling (hypnotherapist) – Norwich, UK

 

I only attended a full day workshop and I can say it was one of the most exciting and motivating experiences I have had in my life. The hypnosis she did was really different from what I expected (film-style), you remain perfectly conscious of everything you see and of your body as well. You live your real dream, you command it and live in it, with a level of self-awareness never experienced before. Also my perception of the relationships around me changed positively, all my best friends felt somehow involved with a sense of happiness when I talked to them of what I experienced. I strongly recommend it to every person who seriously wants to understand him/herself in depth.
A.R.N. – Chiswick – London, UK

 

It was beyond my expectations. My first appointment was for a One to One session and I was shocked by the results it gave me later on. It helped me to remove the Thanatophobia. It also improved my confidence and self esteem. I've been wrapped into this sunbeam light since then and people can see it. Also the workshop about PLR&FLR was absolutely great and covered most of the schedule planned by Renata. I managed to see 2 previous lives ... How spooky is it? She called me a Walk out:) She is like a magnet for thoughts, as in few occasions I was thinking about something and I was nearly ready to ask my questions when she gave me already all the answers. Renata is high skilled and she is a whirl of knowledge. I would strongly recommend her to anyone.
V.T. – Spitalfields – London, UK

 

I attended a one day past life regression workshop with Renata and all I can say is WOW!! I have never been hypnotised before and wasn’t sure if it would work, let alone know what to really expect. To my astonishment, it most certainly did work, and I was able to tap in to a life over 150 years ago, to one that is parallel to my current life. A real eye-opener, helping me refocus on my priorities in this life and to concentrate on myself as well. I would highly recommend Renata to anyone that is even slightly curious about their past lives. She is an absolute patient professional trained by Dr Brian Weiss, and makes you feel completely comfortable and at ease.
S.B. – Harrow, Middlesex, UK

 

Thank you very much for your time yesterday, I found the regression process absolutely fascinating. It certainly gave me lots to think about.
P.R. – London, UK

 

The journey to your house activated something – I could feel that throbbing in my forehead/3rd eye I get when approaching an energy rich environment. Your voice/energy/something was very effective in getting me into deep state ... I went into successive deeper layers of semi-consciousness. I heard consciously only the key directions – little of the elaborations. This is unusual for me, I don't get whacked out easily unless in the audience of a spiritual master (i.e. twice in my life!).
The CD had the same impact ... I tried it twice – sends me deep. Tried it again first thing this morning after good night's sleep ... to control for tiredness. I started getting snippets of things ...
S.C. – London, UK

 

Thank you so much for yesterday, I definitely feel I got a lot out of it. I will do as you have suggested and already am feeling better. I think I did discover a lot about myself. Looking forward to next week.
J.S. – Isleworth, UK

 

 

Thank you very much for your time yesterday, I found the regression process absolutely fascinating. It certainly gave me lots to think about.
P.C. – Hendon, UK

 

It really was a great experience and I do feel I got a lot out of it. I will keep in touch – lovely to have met you and had such an interesting afternoon.
J.F. – Walthamstow, UK


I did 2 PLRs and was able to confront issues I had during my teenage years and therefore was able to close an important chapter in my life. I am so relieved that I met Dr Bartoli as she offered me a lot of support during the whole process of dealing with my current problem and I now see a great change within me and the positive effect it has had on my daily life. In addition to that I have done a Remote Viewing which was very useful for me as I found a wider connection to where I lived in my previous two lives (which was – both times – the same location). I was therefore able to visit the place and see if I found even more connections – the whole experience was very exciting. I am ever so grateful to Dr. Bartoli – I would not be in this positive set of mind if I hadn’t done PLR with her. She is not only a warm loving person but also a wonderful therapist. Thank you so much for all your help.
L.M. – Stanmore, UK

 

 

I saw Renata because I had problems in facing any situation where I had to speak in front of a few or many people. My face would turn red, my voice would crack up, and my mind would go totally blank. The hypnosis helped me to be more confident in these pressure situations and to reduce my anxiety. It was a very strong experience for me that I recommend to all people having the same problem.
E.T. – Cambridge, UK

 

Having a desperate need to overcome my issues with weight I decided to visit a hypnotherapist after trying many diets in my lifetime. I wanted to know why I chose to sabotage myself, people would say to me: 'You have lost weight haven't you?' Knowing that I had lost weight I would then go home and overeat. On the advice of a friend I decided to visit Dr. Renata Bartoli I am the woman that people see and think: 'Oh she's not so big, she dresses well to cover herself up'. I was deceiving myself and others. Look, I don't want to be stick thin, I just want to be comfortable in my body, without loads of extra weight. Through therapy, I was able to identify when and how weight became an issue and what triggered bad feelings for me. I am now on the way to 'slimming' myself by daily self hypnosis/ positive talk to myself. Dr Bartoli has been essential in my attitude and understanding of why I do what I do. I now know that I WILL BE THE REAL me, you can be true to yourself too, it is possible. I had to invest in myself and realize that self preservation was vital for my health and future well being.
S.I. – Uxbridge – Middlesex, UK

 

When I decided to go to Renata my life was pretty much falling apart around me and I felt confused and out of synch with my whole being. So, I went to her with an open mind and determination to get my life back on track. I had 6 sessions with Renata and I found her therapies to be amazing. Her spiritual and hypnotherapeutic techniques were exactly what I needed in my life at that time. I found her professional, compassionate and in tune with me and what I wanted/needed. She tailor-made each session to the 'stuff' I bought with me each time. I loved being under hypnosis and felt I could trust her implicitly.
I also sent my 13 year old daughter, who found her one-session to be life changing and she still uses what she learnt.
I would recommend Renata 100%. She is a wonderful soul and seems to truly care about people.
P.G. – Kingsbury – London, UK

 

I came to Renata with a world on my shoulders and without seeing a way to deal with things in my life. Renata used hypnotherapy, advice and guidance which have had a profound effect on me. I believe that her methods do work and absolutely recommend Renata!
D.P. – Harrow – Middlesex, UK

 

I found the hypnosis sessions to be both informative on an intellectual level as well as extremely helpful in aiding me in my journey to solve the emotional problems I have been dealing with. I went in quite sceptical and a bit apprehensive, but Renata was very kind and had a very calming influence on me. I found the hypnosis, once I let myself relax and go with it, to be exciting and afterwards felt a hope and optimism that I hadn't expected or felt in a while. I will continue to use the tips Renata gave me about visualisation and would definitely recommend her sessions.
T.V. – Harrow – Middlesex, UK

 

I saw Renata because I had always been over-weight and diets had never worked for me. I also felt negative about my life and my future. Renata has helped me to drop those extra pounds that bothered me by discovering the deep roots responsible for my extra weight. In only two sessions I have achieved something I had never managed before. With her therapy called Interactive Inner World she has also guided me on a path of self-discovery and I have managed to turn my life around. Many thanks indeed.
S.G – West Hampstead – London NW6, UK

 

I am happy to recommend the Apple-Tree. It was a very relaxing experience. Renata is a therapist who is very easy to talk to and through this she understood and was able to create a therapy that was right for me.
P.R. – Harrow, UK

 

My sessions were incredibly successful. I have never felt so relaxed. Thanks to Renata's method of age regression I was able to explore and come to terms with the traumas of my childhood. This has led to new confidence and belief in myself. Renata, thank you so much.
S. G.-G. – Diss – Norfolk, UK

 

I have had PLRs before - this was my first time with Doctor Bartoli. I was happy that I was taken into TWO PLRs back to back - as I have not had that before. The audio recording of the sessions is also something that has not until now been given to me at a PLR. Since the regressions, I have consequently come to realise “more” about my possible Past Life relationships with the significant person known to me in this life.
S.B. – Hounslow, UK

 

I had not experienced much success with hypnosis until having a session with Dr Bartoli. She explained the process to me clearly and guided me through what I understand now is a collaborative process, where each of us has a part to play. I was especially impressed by the results of regression as I had no idea of how it might work and feared I might be resistant to it. Dr Bartoli sensed when I was having difficulty in making progress and gave me the means to continue, revealing aspects of myself along the way that I had no idea about previously. This is a thoroughly professional service I can endorse without reservation.
D.G. - Docklands (London), UK

 

I have tried for many years to solve emotional problems deriving from my early childhood which adversely affect my everyday life. I tried many different therapies, from conventional psychotherapy to art therapy and even hypnotherapy, but without success. Last summer I decided to consult Dr. Bartoli and I’m very glad I did. For the first time I feel that I’m getting control back of my life and I’m now looking towards the future in a positive way for the first time.
P.A. - Harrow – Middx, UK

 

 

Ho avuto paura della muffa (in particolare di quella dei cibi) praticamente da sempre e, malgrado le mie migliori intenzioni e sforzi, non ero mai riuscita a superarla, benché mi facesse sentire ridicola ed imbarazzata. Mi sono sempre chiesta cosa mai fosse alla radice di simile sciocca paura e in una sola seduta la Dott.ssa Bartoli mi ha tolto la curiosità e allo stesso tempo mi ha liberato dalla fobia, riportandomi indietro ad un episodio della mia infanzia che avevo completamente dimenticato. Con la revisione da adulta di simile evento sono riuscita a prenderlo per quello che era e finalmente girare la pagina. Mille grazie, thank you very much.
C.P. – Bologna, Italy

 

My initial nerves at undergoing a past life regression for the first time were quickly dispelled by Dr Bartoli who put me at ease straight away. Her calm manner helped me to relax more than I thought possible and it was fascinating to explore two previous lives with her. I realised that there were messages from my past existences which I could use to guide me through my current life and I am excited that, through meditation and dreams, I may be able to discover more about myself. Dr Bartoli gave me insight and taught me relaxation techniques which I will continue to use to help me on my spiritual journey.
T.L. - Ruislip – Middx, UK

 

I smoked and smoked and smoked. I wanted to stop and tried everything: I never lasted more than a week or two. In only one session Renata managed to make me stop. More than two months have passed now and I have not even had the temptation to start again. Now I am finally sure that I am a non-smoker. Many thanks indeed.
