Dolores Cannon, a regressive hypnotherapist and psychic researcher who recorded "lost" knowledge, was born in 1931 in St. Louis, Missouri. She was educated and lived in St. Louis until her marriage in 1951 to a career Navy man. She spent the next twenty years traveling all over the world as a typical Navy wife and raising her family. In 1970, her husband was discharged as a disabled veteran, and they retired to the hills of Arkansas. She then started her writing career and began selling her articles to various magazines and newspapers. She had been involved with hypnosis since 1968 and exclusively with past-life therapy and regression work since 1979. She had studied the various hypnosis methods and thus developed her own unique technique that enabled her to gain the most efficient release of information from her clients. Dolores taught her Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT) all over the world.

In 1986, she expanded her investigations into the UFO field. She did on-site studies of suspected UFO landings and investigated the crop circles in England. The majority of her work in this field was the accumulation of evidence through hypnosis from suspected abductees.

Dolores was an international speaker who lectured on all the continents of the world. Her twenty-one books have been translated into more than twenty languages. She spoke to radio and television audiences worldwide. And articles about/by Dolores have appeared in several US and international magazines and newspapers. Dolores was the first American and the first foreigner to receive the "Orpheus Award" in Bulgaria, given for the highest advancement in the research of psychic phenomenon. She received Outstanding Contribution and Lifetime Achievement awards from several hypnosis organizations.

Dolores had a very large family who kept her solidly balanced between the "real" world of her family and the "unseen" world of her work.

Dolores Cannon, who transitioned from this world on October 18, 2014, left behind incredible accomplishments in the fields of alternative healing, hypnosis, metaphysics, and past-life regression, but most impressive of all was her innate understanding that the most important thing she could do was to share information. To reveal hidden or undiscovered knowledge vital to the enlightenment of humanity and our lessons here on Earth. Sharing information and knowledge is what mattered most to Dolores. That is why her books, lectures, and unique QHHT method of hypnosis continue to amaze, guide, and inform so many people around the world. Dolores explored all these possibilities and more while taking us along for the ride of our lives. She wanted fellow travelers to share her journeys into the unknown.
