Lana Spitz

The story

Thirty years, three countries, one thread.

Lana Spitz did not arrive at this work through a single revelation. It was slower than that — a series of encounters, each one pulling her deeper into the question of what the body knows that the mind does not.

It began in the early 1990s. Lana had always been drawn to the body as an instrument of understanding — not in an abstract sense, but practically, hands-on. She was living in New York, a city that rewards intensity, and she found herself gravitating toward the people and places where the boundary between physical health and something less tangible started to blur. She enrolled at the Swedish Institute in 1993, training as a massage therapist and bodyworker at one of the oldest and most respected schools of its kind in the United States. The training was rigorous, clinical, and grounding. It gave her a foundation she still draws on: an understanding of anatomy, of the nervous system, of what it means to hold space through the hands.

By the late nineties, her practice had expanded. She completed her yoga teacher certification in 1999, and with it came a different vocabulary — breath, energy, alignment as metaphor and as reality. She began teaching alongside her bodywork, and something in the combination changed the nature of her client relationships. People were not just coming for relief. They were coming because something was shifting, and they wanted someone steady nearby while it did.

Then came London. Lana moved to the United Kingdom and built a practice that spanned bodywork, yoga, and a growing curiosity about hypnosis. The UK years were formative. London has a particular quality — a willingness to take alternative practice seriously, provided the person offering it is serious too. Lana was. She trained in hypnotherapy and found that it answered a question her bodywork had been circling for years: how to reach the material that sits below physical tension, below conscious narrative, in the territory where patterns live and repeat without the person knowing why.

The deepening came through the Newton Institute, where Lana trained in Michael Newton's Life Between Lives methodology — a structured, replicable approach to guiding clients into the experience of the space between incarnations. It was demanding work, both technically and personally, and it reshaped her understanding of what a session could hold. She went on to train with the Institute for Quantum Consciousness, studying under Peter Smith, and became accredited by the International Association of Counselors and Therapists, the National Guild of Hypnotists, and the HeartMath Institute. She added NLP and iridology to her toolkit — not as separate offerings, but as threads woven into a practice that had always resisted neat categories.

During her London years, Lana's work reached a wider audience. She guided Andrea McLean and Chizzy Akudolu through past life regressions on ITV's Loose Women, sessions that aired on national television and introduced millions to a practice most had never encountered. The appearances were unscripted and unguarded — and they demonstrated something important about how Lana works: she is calm under pressure, unpretentious, and genuinely comfortable with the unknown.

The pivot to Mexico came not from restlessness but from clarity. Puerto Escondido, on the Oaxacan coast, offered something London could not: space, warmth, proximity to the ocean, and a pace of life that mirrors the rhythm of the work itself — long, unhurried, attentive. Lana relocated her practice and found that the setting changed not only her life but the quality of the sessions. Clients who travel to see her often stay for several days, combining deep inner work with rest, ocean time, and the kind of integration that happens when you are not rushing back to a commute.

Today, Lana's typical week is a mixture of deep sessions — past life regressions, life between lives journeys, quantum consciousness explorations — and the ongoing body and wellness work that has always been part of her practice: yoga, massage, breathwork, HeartMath coherence training, and the occasional vintage Tesla treatment that returning clients quietly request. She works with clients in person in Puerto Escondido and online with people across the world, most of them in the UK, Europe, and the United States. What brings her joy, she says, is the moment a client returns from a deep state and their face changes — not dramatically, but unmistakably. Something has landed. The rest is integration.

How she works

Warm, exact, and disarmingly direct.

Lana's approach is difficult to categorise because it resists formula. She is warm without being soft, precise without being clinical, and she brings a genuine sense of humour to work that could easily become solemn. Clients describe feeling immediately at ease — not because the room is full of candles and affirmations, but because Lana treats them as capable adults who are allowed to have questions, doubts, and their own interpretation of what happens.

Skeptics are welcome. In fact, Lana tends to enjoy working with skeptics. She does not ask anyone to believe anything in advance. The methodology is well-established, the experience is yours, and you remain in control throughout. Her role is to guide the process with skill and steadiness, and to help you make sense of whatever surfaces — without pushing an interpretation that does not belong to you.

Client agency is central. You decide how far to go, when to pause, and what to do with what you find. Lana holds the space. You hold the authority.

Off the clock

Outside the practice.

Away from the treatment room, Lana reads widely, swims in the ocean most mornings, and maintains her own daily practice — yoga, breathwork, and the kind of quiet self-inquiry that keeps a practitioner honest. She is close to her family and speaks about them with the same directness she brings to her work. She does not present herself as a guru, and she would be the first to laugh at the suggestion.
