About Lighten LA

Lighten LA is a Los Angeles company created by Maria Gregori, an Access Consciousness Practitioner and lifelong entrepreneur.

In 2015, Maria discovered a life changing energy process called Access Bars® that had an immediate effect on ending the anxiety attacks she had endured since childhood. Maria was shocked that after a lifetime of feeling paralyzed by fear, talking for days with therapists and masking her anxiety by taking drugs, suddenly, after one session with an Access Bars Facilitator, her anxiety was nowhere to be found. She realized that this energy process was more effective at creating change in her life than anything else she had tried.

Soon after that first session Maria took her first Access Bars class and continued to take Access Consciousness classes as her life changed more and more everyday. She learned that she could change any aspect of her life by asking questions and following her awareness. In 2018 she traveled to Rome and became an Access Consciousness Facilitator.

After nearly ten years in Colorado, Maria decided to ask, “what would be the most fun for me?” In 2019 she sold her house and moved her family to Los Angeles, a city she never dreamed was a possibility!

She immediately bought a van and founded Lighten LA so she could spread the word about the Access Bars and tools of Access Consciousness. Maria and some of her friends offer free Access Bars sample sessions at wellness events and local businesses.

Maria’s mission is to invite others in discovering what else is possible for their lives and futures with the simple, if not life changing tools and keys from Access Consciousness.

What is Access Bars ?

®

Access Bars® is a gentle hands on modality introduced by Gary Douglas in the early 1990s. The Bars® are 32 unique points on the head that correlate to different areas and aspects of life. During an Access Bars® session, a practitioner gently touches these points to release the electro-magnetic charge of all the thoughts, ideas, attitudes, decisions, and beliefs that may have limited you in the concerned life areas. Today Access Bars® is practiced in more than 170 countries worldwide and is used as a potent and pragmatic tool by families, schools, businesses, athletes, prison wards, psychologists, artists, and many more.

How does it work?

Imagine if someone could press a button and mute that voice in your head that tells you you're not good enough or that you can't accomplish what you dream about? Any limitations you create in your life are connected to your thoughts, ideas, attitudes, decisions, and beliefs. Lightly touch the bars-points and you begin to clear away what's locked up that keeps you from believing you can have the life you've always known is possible. One of the life-changing components that happens naturally with each Access Bars® session is the element of receiving. How often do we just let go, lower our barriers, and allow another person to truly gift us? Learning to receive is a key to inviting more of what you're asking for into your life.

What's a session like?

Everyone is different, so there is no "normal" Access Bars® session. Each session will be different, every time, even if you repeat with the same person. What is most often reported is that there is a sense of complete relaxation. Many people go to sleep - even in a very noisy environment. Some people have images come to them, others feel sensations in their bodies such as buzzing, tingling, warmth, twitches, or shivers. There is no right or wrong way and the best way to find out what Access Bars® will be like for you is to try it yourself!

Meet the Team

Each of my experiences with Maria have been very different in many ways but the most important thing is the same: having my bars run helped me see how much I was CHOOSING, which helped me see how much I could choose not to choose. It is the definition of empowerment. When you realize your choices are making your reality, you can feel your anxiety evaporate. For me, that's what made having my bars run so amazing. It's the freedom to not feel all the negativity as a burden, because you don't have to continue to choose it.

Chelsea, Lawyer, New Orleans

I have received Access treatments from Maria on many occasions and they have always been both a total joy and personally helpful. There impact on my life has ranged from relaxing and therapeutic to truly life changing. My very first treatment with Maria came at a time of large life challenges and, through her work, we were able to open up a well of emotions and past experiences that had, for so many years, both eluded me and limited me. Frankly, I was shocked by my experience and in the best way. It was the catalyst for changing careers, improving relationships and friendships and caring for myself with a kindness and strength that I had longed for. I think Maria found her calling with Access. She's compassionate, honest, enthusiastic and loving and her treatments embody each of these attributes. I have recommended her to a number of friends to great results and continue to recommend her to anyone seeking of clarity and connection to the best parts of themselves.

I feel a decrease in muscular tension and my thoughts are calmer. I would compare it to meditating. It sometimes feel like a lightness in my body or light headedness. I recommend having your bars run anytime you have stress or anxiety, like a past embarrassment you can’t stop thinking about, or worrying about the future, an upset with a coworker or family member, or when you are trying to make a big decision like where to move and what career you would like to choose.

Paul, Entrepreneur, Los Angeles

So hard to say how amazing you and the bars are in 2-3 sentences! The moment I lie down and Maria starts to speak to me, I fall into a deep state of relaxation. As she runs my bars I enter a state like a peaceful waking dream which brings me a profound sense of ease and knowing how to inhabit the life I want to live. This sense of ease and knowing stays with me long after the session ends and gives me the confidence to joyfully leave behind habits and attitudes that used to cause tremendous fear, stress, and guilt in my life.
