Testimonials

Working with Claudia Rickard is a truly transformative experience.

From the moment we began, I felt the depth of her care, confidence and the wealth of experience she brings to her work. Claudia gently and skillfully works from the root of your challenges, creating lasting change with surprising speed. I was blown away by the shifts and going deep in a way that feels subtle yet super impactful from just the first session! Time flew by. I felt a profound sense of safety in her presence, a trust that grows easily and a deep knowing that I was ok—and that everything is going to be okay. She generously shared her knowledge, guiding with clarity and compassion. What emerged for me was beyond relief, but a reconnection to who I really am and an understanding of limitations and emotions that have been blocks. Claudia took me beyond the pain and overwhelm of emotions I've been experiencing, that brought me to her. She is gifted, providing a space of release, renewal and realignment that I’m deeply grateful for. If you’re seeking meaningful change and support, I wholeheartedly recommend Claudia. I am so grateful, thank you!

Claudia helped me to get my life back - Tori

I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety for the last 8 years. Which means I’ve been in therapy and on medication for 8 years. 8 years where things felt just “meh” but never really getting better. After a handful of people recommended Claudia and hypnosis to someone else in a Facebook group I figured if all these people were recommending her there must be something to this “hypnosis”. Skeptical but holding out hope I met with Claudia for 5 sessions and I can say wholeheartedly my life has definitely been changed. There’s no long talking, there’s no sharing of your entire life story for an hour - Claudia simply provides concrete real tools to cope with situations as well as takes action on wiping out the real reasons you’re feeling the way you are. After just 2 sessions what I came in for was a thing of the past and we focused the last 3 sessions on something entirely different. Claudia is kind, non judgemental, and genuinely wants you to be happy and succeed in reaching your full potential. I’ve seen a lot of therapists who've spent years trying to help me with what Claudia accomplished in 2-5 sessions. If you are truly ready to feel better, are open minded, and willing to give yourself to the work she does I know you will feel exactly like I do today - happier, enthusiastic about the future, and grateful for the gift of life!

Recommend without hesitation -ACM

Claudia truly transformed my life. After only a few sessions, she helped me navigate through something incredibly challenging, and her guidance has left a lasting impact. I feel like myself again—authentic, confident, and empowered. Her insights helped me reconnect with my “why.” I stumbled upon Claudia’s services through a women’s professional group, and their reviews were spot-on. She is compassionate, skilled, and genuinely committed to her clients’ well-being. If you’re seeking a therapist/coach who is dedicated, knowledgeable and can truly make a difference, I recommend Claudia without hesitation.

New purpose, new life path, new meaning. - Meghan

Trauma manifests differently from one-person-to-another, but the impact is the same. I found Claudia through one of my best friends. My friend had gone to see her because her doctor recommended it, and I am so grateful to have found her! For my niece, we needed someone who could truly help her heal. And in the process, I too, learned and healed. I even realized how much my sister, my kids and even people I work with needed someone like Claudia. The healing and positivity from this experience left my niece and I finding new strength and joy. Through the first sessions we found safety, forgiveness, motivation and education. As my niece began to work through herself and the trauma, we then found self-esteem, feeling the emotions, and appreciation for our authenticity in our identity and where that identity truly lives. As we came to end of our sessions, we then found trust and connection. Things changed for my niece throughout this process. Her life changed. And it was all positive. There was clarity where there was once fog. Like I said, I too, became so much more aware of myself and others. There are not enough words for me to truly describe how powerful this healing was. I hope my experience can help others because it was truly life changing. My niece was able to claim her life back. She is no longer bound or limited by the impact of her trauma. Again, we found new strength and joy. We found growth. And the vision of what her future looks like now has an amazing defined purpose and meaning to it.
