4worldlovers: To uncover and release the stuck places, and return us to our very nature ... freedom, wholeness, and love

Where and how are you triggered in your life? What are the patterns or troubling emotions that you encounter over and over again? What are the fears that grip you? What are the stories you believe about yourself and others? These stumbling blocks are arrows pointing back to conditioning and/or wounds housed in the body and subconscious.


Each session is a creative collaboration uniquely tailored to you, to help remind and return you to your very nature … freedom, wholeness and love. A session begins with an exploration of your current physical or emotional issue. Using guided visualization in a state of deep relaxation, we embark upon a journey into your mind and body to uncover the root causes of both physical and emotional issues stored within your cellular memory and subconscious. Together, we welcome all emotions, especially the uncomfortable ones, as they are the very gateway to freedom. You are given a chance to dialogue and empty out to those involved with painful memories, and we work to clear disempowering beliefs and vows. Along the journey, we equip you with the support and resources you need to override difficult or traumatic memories, effectively rewriting history. As deep emotional blocks and old painful habits are cleared away, freedom and forgiveness come quite naturally.​

While many folks experience profound transformation within one session, ongoing work is incredibly powerful and highly recommended, as we can truly begin to peal back the layers. Many folks schedule weekly, bi-weekly or monthly sessions.

My name is Candace Roberts and I'm a Certified Hypnotherapist and Journey Accredited Practitioner, as well as a lifelong champion of change. I'm also a singer, songwriter, filmmaker and performer and my works have been featured on the BBC, KQED, NPR, NBC, the San Francisco Chronicle and Bitch Magazine.

I've been a seeker my entire life, and there were so many stories I told myself along the way. Low-grade depression and self-doubt were my trusty companions, and I always sought out “something to look forward to” to distract me from the doldrums of me. I would leap frog from one little high to the next, but I could never quite figure out how to feel better.

As a kid, I used to have night terrors, in which I would repeatedly see a child’s drawing, of hills, birds and trees, being smeared in black tar ... and this terrified me. Other times I would experience myself floating, panic-stricken, all alone, through space and time, for all eternity. Not surprisingly, I also spent much of my childhood anxiously pondering my own death, and on occasion, questioning nearby adults “What happens when we die?” But no one had a satisfactory answer. I also struggled with self-worth issues and not feeling seen in relation to my parents and family.

Always a lover of “story” I got hooked on theater, spinning tales and escaping into a role. I delighted in these performance highs and became quite the perfectionist ingénue. And then the curtain would fall, the show would end, and I often thought, “What’s the point?” I also desperately wanted to write my own songs and material, but couldn’t quite find a way in. And while there were glimmers of connection and wholeness, I often sought out sex and romance to fill the void.
