What Makes Us Different

“What Was I” was founded by John Wakefield, a practitioner and teacher who has devoted nearly two decades to exploring consciousness, healing, and personal transformation. John’s journey includes years as a forest-dwelling monk, enriching his understanding of ancient wisdom and contemplative practice. Now, he shares this depth of insight—alongside cutting-edge hypnotherapy and Past Life Regression techniques—with modern learners seeking real results.

John believes every student brings unique strengths and life experiences to their practice. That’s why training at “What Was I” goes beyond replication—students integrate proven therapeutic skills with their own values, histories, and sense of purpose. The result? Confident, compassionate healers who are fully attuned to themselves, their clients, and the transformative power of regression therapy.
