Claudia is a great listener and very compassionate like many therapists, but that alone wont help you. One of the things that sets her apart is that she isnt going to let you wallow in self pity, she does what you actually need and that is teach you tools so that you can deal with any situation better than you have been. She doesnt judge, she doesnt scold, she helps you see that every challenge is an opportunity and that there are no failures, just learning opportunities. If you go with an open mind and use the tools that she teaches, you absolutely will see your life improve. Im still working on using the tools consistently, but when I do, they just work. The hypnosis may only be a small part of what she does, but it is powerful. It helps to fill your subconscious mind with healthy thoughts instead of the maladaptive ones that most of us (certainly me) seem to be filled with. It also helps to cement those tools into your subconscious mind so that they can more easily be recalled and used.I see a brighter future for myself now because I have confidence in my own ability to face difficult situations in life, knowing that I have the tools to handle them. If you want to move forward in your life then there is no one else I can recommend more highly than Claudia.

Claudia is absolutely wonderful! Going to therapy can be intimidating but she is so warm and welcoming, put me at ease immediately. I was dealing with some life long issues and Claudia helped me very quickly process and move forward from them. I feel that everything is completely resolved and the mental freedom is empowering. I already have much more confidence and feel that Im excelling more in every aspect of my life. I look forward to a happier and more fulfilled life!

Claudia was incredibly welcoming, warm and I felt comfortable talking to her immediately. She helped me understand my feelings, work through them, and leave the ones that weren’t serving me behind. I went to her hoping to mend my feelings about someone very close to me; she helped me move beyond my resentment and then some. I felt so much relief, renewed confidence in myself and empowerment over my emotions that my husband decided to go to her, too. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a new start, and peace of mind.

I am very appreciative of the work Ive done with Claudia Rickard. 20 years ago, after a long battle with not being able to quit smoking, I was finally able to quit smoking with the use of hypnosis, so prior to meeting Claudia, I already had a strong belief in its ability to help with even the strongest addictions. Not all addictions are physical. Some can come in the form of mental or emotional. After my divorce, I had found myself addicted to blaming. It was easy to point the finger and not take responsibility for my own actions. As a result, I had lower confidence and could be triggered to anger easily. Upon recognizing this pattern, I reached out to Claudia to work with me on breaking this negative mindset. The work weve done together has been amazing. I appreciate her approach to digging in deep to the problem and then through hypnosis and the blast technique, inputting new suggestions that have helped me break the blame addiction. I feel more confident and less reaction oriented. More solution solution oriented.

I greatly appreciated how relatable Claudia was in our sessions. She took the time to understand my problems and how they were impacting my consciousness. I was surprised at how rejuvenated I would feel after experiencing her techniques. The rest of those days were spent in a very joyous state. I also learned more about what my triggers are, which behaviors have formed as coping mechanisms, and discovered some underlying core values of mine which helped provide clarity in how to move forward in certain situations. All of this will help me make decisions more confidently as I continue to grow and experience what life has to offer. Thank you, Claudia!

Ive been in therapy for years and I have never experienced the mental freedom that I feel from Claudias sessions. I told her that I have tried for so long to get over my trauma and I truly believed that nothing would help...Claudia helped! She is incredibly supportive and kind. I would definitely recommend seeing her! Let her help you change your life!

I first met Claudia networking in the holistic world. After one meeting with her, I was more than curious about what she had to offer in a session and took the next available time. This isnt uncommon in networking, to get an experience with someone so that you know how to refer them, but what WAS uncommon was how quickly she was able to demonstrate the impact of her skills and tools.After that first appointment, I made a few more for me, just because it became almost silly to hang on to old hurts when there was a way to walk through them - better - and then I started telling any of my friends with old wounds that they should call her. Transforming boulders to rocks to sand, thats what she does to traumas.And then my son, having had a host of prenatal and preemie challenges, spent one afternoon with Claudia. In the weeks that followed, he kind of just blossomed out of anger and fits and, while he still gets frustrated, it just isnt the same.There is a prompt here that asks: what did you learn about yourself? Ive been working in mental health for so many years... you know what I learned? I learned that for all the best intentions of so many mental health service providers, and we DO have good intentions, wed serve most of our clients better if we sent them to Claudia first.

I met Claudia for my fear of dogs .She was very proffesional, responsive and explained everything in details . She made sure I understand why the questions are being asked and what to expect. I am very happy with my experience and I am now getting comfortable around dogs which is a major change for me . I hope to get my own dog by the end of this year all thanks to her .

Claudia Rickard is a wonderful, down-to-earth, serene person. She makes it easy to trust her and be hypnotized. After 30+ years of smoking, I have QUIT with Claudias Blast Technique. Highly recommend her!!

I met with Claudia for several sessions to help me work through a challenge I experienced with my business that brought up a lot of old anxieties and limiting beliefs. We did both virtual (Zoom) and in person sessions. I was initially skeptical about her process and technique because I wasnt sure how it could work virtually and frankly, if it would work at all. My skepticism was quickly erased as in one session my level of anxiety decreased from a constant 7-8 to around a 4. I immediately scheduled a session in person and have been so impressed with Claudias skills and the results she helped produce through the BLAST technique and her intuitive treatment style. I no longer experience the anxieties that resurfaced at the level where it was interfering with my daily activities and Im no longer stuck in the thought patterns. I highly recommend Claudia and her services.
