LIGHT is offered through individual and group-based experiences — including seasonal Booster Sessions, group programs, and private one-on-one sessions. Many participants continue using LIGHT as a self-guided practice long after completing a program.

Recent peer-reviewed research involving UC San Diego-affiliated researchers found that medical professionals participating in guided imagery hypnosis showed improvements in aspects of emotional resilience, including increased self-compassion and reduced emotional exhaustion.1

The combination of Paula for her story and practical approach, and Thomas for the spiritual with science thrown in — the two got inside my heart. I feel I'm calmer in every way in all my interactions.
