We were lucky to catch up with Megan Oberholtzer recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Megan , thanks for joining us today. Risk taking is something we’re really interested in and we’d love to hear the story of a risk you’ve taken.

One of the biggest risks I’ve ever taken is actually the one I’m still in the middle of.

After earning my PhD in Clinical Psychology, a process that took me just four years, even though it usually takes people five to eight, I thought I was on a solid, stable path. I had put everything into that degree, completed all of my clinical hours, and began working as a therapist. On paper, it looked like success.

But internally, I felt an undeniable misalignment. The work was helping people, but it wasn’t feeding my soul. Around that same time, several psychics told me that I was meant to continue and expand on Dolores Cannon’s work in past life regression. At first, I dismissed it. I had spent years and thousands of hours training in evidence-based therapy; shifting into spiritual regression work seemed irrational and, well…risky.

Meanwhile, I was taking the EPPP, the national licensing exam for psychologists. I took it three times and failed each time, each time by a single question. It was humbling and, at the time, devastating. But it also forced me to pause and ask: Am I really meant to keep pushing this door open, or is the universe redirecting me?

That question changed everything. I decided not to retake the exam, even though it meant that once my provisional license expires, I can’t practice as a psychologist. I make significant income in my current role, so stepping away means letting go of security and trusting something that doesn’t have a clear roadmap or guarantee.

Now, I’m fully committed to building a career centered on past life regression and spiritual healing. It’s not the ‘safe’ path, but it’s the one that feels deeply aligned. I’m trusting that the same intuition that guided me to this point will guide me to what’s next. The outcome is still unfolding, but for the first time, it feels like I’m truly living my purpose rather than just following a profession.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

My path into this work has been anything but conventional. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology and spent 4 years in a traditional therapy setting, helping clients process and heal from trauma, anxiety, and chronic stress. But along the way, something felt incomplete. Despite the insights and evidence-based tools, I noticed that many people were still carrying pain that seemed to be rooted in something beyond this lifetime. I began noticing patterns that logic alone couldn’t explain.

Around that time, several intuitive healers and psychics told me I was meant to be “a bridge between heaven and earth.” While I didn’t fully understand what that meant, a seed was planted. Eventually, my curiosity led me to explore hypnosis on a deeper level, and that’s when I discovered Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT). QHHT is a modality that accesses the subconscious and past life memories which is the key to profound insight and healing. I now also offer Beyond Quantum Healing (BQH), which allows me to facilitate sessions virtually with clients all over the world.

Through my business, Insight Meditation and Hypnosis, I help clients uncover the root causes of emotional, physical, and energetic blocks, which are often carried across lifetimes. Past life regression work helps people release patterns they’ve struggled with for years and reconnect with their higher purpose. One of my favorite examples is a client who suffered from chronic migraines and discovered, through a past life session, that she took her own life using blunt force trauma to the head in a past life hundreds of years ago. After that session, her migraines disappeared entirely. There are countless stories such as this that remind me why I chose to follow this path.

What sets my work apart is the blend of psychology and spirituality…the balance of grounded clinical training with intuitive, soul-level healing. My clients have told me they feel both safe and deeply seen. I believe healing happens when science and soul meet…when we address both the human and divine aspects of our experience together.

I’m most proud of having the courage to step away from a well-defined clinical path to honor my calling. It’s not easy to move against the current, but it’s led me to create work that feels deeply aligned.

What I want people to know about me and my practice is that healing doesn’t have to be hard, and it doesn’t have to take years…or even lifetimes. When we access the deeper wisdom of the soul, clarity and peace can arrive in ways that are truly life-changing.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

One of the biggest lessons I had to unlearn was that healing only happens through logic, analysis, or hard work. In the first few years as a doctoral level psychologist, I was under the belief that if we could just understand why we struggled, or if we analyzed enough, processed enough, or worked hard enough, we would finally be free of pain.

However, over time, I started noticing that many clients could explain their trauma perfectly yet still feel stuck. Honestly, so did I. I was doing everything “right” by traditional standards, yet something was still off.

The real turning point came during my own deep meditative experiences, and eventually through my first QHHT session. I realized healing isn’t about “figuring it out”…it’s about feeling it out. It’s about trusting the body’s wisdom, the soul’s timing, and the messages that surface when we quiet the thinking mind.

Unlearning the idea that healing must be linear, cognitive, or effortful opened the door to everything I do now. It allowed me to trust intuition, symbolism, and energy as valid forms of intelligence. As soon as I let go of the belief that I had to understand everything to heal, I started witnessing transformations…both in myself and in my clients. Something that logic alone could never have produced.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

One story that illustrates my resilience goes back to my teenage years. I grew up in an environment that was unstable and often emotionally draining. By the time I was a teenager, the tension at home reached a breaking point, and I was kicked out of the house. I remember packing my things with a mix of fear and disbelief, not knowing what would come next.

That moment forced me to grow up fast. I had to learn how to create stability, safety, and belonging for myself…things I hadn’t been given. At the time, it felt like survival. But looking back, it was also the beginning of my spiritual awakening. It taught me how to listen inwardly, to trust that something larger was guiding me, even when life felt uncertain.

That experience shaped the heart of my work today…because I know what it’s like to feel disconnected and unsupported, I have a deep compassion for others who are trying to find their way back to themselves. It is also what taught me resilience … not as a hard shell, but as a soft strength, the kind that arises from self-trust and the willingness to rebuild your life from the inside out.

In many ways, being kicked out of my home was the catalyst that set everything in motion. It pushed me to pursue psychology, to understand human pain, and later, to bridge that with spiritual healing. It’s where I learned that even the most painful endings can be sacred beginnings.
