Golden hour on the coast near Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca

Visit the practice in Puerto Escondido.

The location

A place that quiets the mind before the session begins.

Puerto Escondido sits on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca, a few hours south of the state capital by road and less than an hour from Mexico City by air. It is known for its surfing, its extraordinary quality of light, and its long, quiet stretches of beach that empty out as you walk further from town. The pace here is slow in the best sense — governed by the ocean, the heat, and the understanding that not everything needs to happen quickly.

Lana chose to practise here after many years in London. She was drawn by the warmth, the space, and the way the coast provides a natural container for deep work. There is something about the rhythm of this place — mornings that begin with the sound of waves, afternoons that stretch unhurried, evenings that soften into colour — that supports the kind of turning inward her sessions require. Many clients find the setting itself becomes part of their healing experience, offering a distance from daily routine that makes it easier to go deeper than they expected.

The practice space is private, quiet, and deliberately simple. Sessions run long — three to four hours is standard — and the room is designed to hold that duration without interruption. There is nothing clinical about it, and nothing performatively spiritual. It is a calm, well-held space where difficult and beautiful things are allowed to surface.

Getting there

Easier to reach than you might think.

Puerto Escondido has its own airport (PXM) with direct flights from Mexico City on Volaris and VivaAerobus — the flight takes roughly one hour. This is the simplest route for most visitors.

Alternatively, you can fly into Oaxaca City (OAX) and make the scenic drive south through the Sierra Madre — around six hours by road, or a short connecting flight. Huatulco airport (HUX) is another option, approximately two hours east by car along the coast road.

International visitors typically route through Mexico City (MEX), where connections to Puerto Escondido run several times daily. If you are coming from the United States, direct flights to Mexico City are available from most major cities. From the UK and Europe, the journey is usually one stop — through Mexico City or a US hub.

Lana is happy to advise on logistics, timing, and the best way to structure your travel around your sessions. Many clients find it helpful to arrive a day early, allowing time to settle, adjust to the climate, and rest before beginning the work.

Length of stay

How long to come for.

The right duration depends on what you are looking for. Here are three common patterns — Lana will help you plan during your discovery call.

1–2 days

Single session visit

Ideal if you are travelling through Oaxaca and would like to experience a single past life regression or hypnotherapy session. Arrive the day before, allow time to settle, and give yourself at least one night afterwards for integration.

3–4 days

PLR + LBL package

The most popular option for clients who want to go deeper. Begin with a past life regression, rest and integrate, then follow with a life between lives session. The gap between sessions matters — it allows the first experience to land before you open the next door.

5–7 days

Full retreat experience

For those who want to combine deep inner work with bodywork, yoga, breathwork, and time to simply be. Multiple sessions across modalities, woven around rest, ocean time, and the kind of slow integration that cannot happen in a weekend.

A typical day

What a session day looks like.

There is no fixed schedule — the shape of each day is adapted to you and to the work. But here is how a session day often unfolds for clients who stay in Puerto Escondido:

Morning

A walk on the beach or gentle yoga — whatever helps you arrive in your body. Some clients swim; others sit with coffee and watch the waves. The aim is simply to be present and unhurried before the session begins.

Late morning

Rest and quiet time. A light meal. Perhaps some journaling if you have been working with dreams or impressions from previous sessions. This is not idle time — it is preparation.

Afternoon

Your session with Lana. Deep work typically runs three to four hours, sometimes longer. You will be guided at your own pace and given all the time you need. There is no rush.

Evening

Quiet time with your journal. A gentle meal. Many clients describe a feeling of spaciousness after deep sessions — a softness that benefits from solitude, or at most the company of someone who understands. Early to bed is encouraged.
