Rapid personal transformation
Your subconscious wants to protect you — but it holds false beliefs that keep you stuck. Using hypnosis, NLP, and Self Concept work, Rick helps you change them at the unconscious level, so old sabotaging patterns fall away and you feel more free. Private, one-on-one, often rapid.
You're not broken. You're not alone.
You hold down the job, the family, the life — from the outside it looks fine.
But something keeps pulling you back: the habit, the self-doubt, the old pattern.
You've tried to push through it on willpower — and watched it quietly slide back.
Here's the part no one tells you: it was never really about willpower. Underneath the pattern is a belief your subconscious adopted to protect you — and it runs on autopilot. Beliefs like that don't respond to shame or trying harder. They respond to being easily changed at the level where they actually live.
How hypnosis helps
Nothing mystical, nothing you lose control of. Just a calm, well-understood blend of hypnosis, NLP, and Self Concept — a way of speaking to the part of your mind that actually runs the pattern.
Talk it through on a free call →Hypnosis is just focused, relaxed attention — like the state you drift through right before sleep. Trance lowers the resistance of the conscious mind, so the part that actually runs your patterns becomes open to easier instruction.
Using NLP, Self Concept, and hypnosis, we work directly with the limiting beliefs driving the pattern — and replace them. When the goal calls for it, we can go all the way to the identity level, where lasting change really takes hold.
You can't be made to do anything against your values. You're awake, aware, and could open your eyes any moment. It feels like a deep, pleasant rest you walk out of feeling lighter.
How it works
One
We talk for about 15 minutes. I learn what you want to change, and we do a few fun exercises to check you're a good candidate — almost everyone is. Mostly we make sure we're a good match to work together.
No pressureTwo
We meet one-on-one, in person in BC or over Zoom. Each session is relaxed and guided — you simply sit back while we change the beliefs holding you back, using the methods that fit you best.
In-person or onlineThree
You can take home recorded audio programs to reinforce the work between sessions and long after. The change keeps settling in while you listen, drive, or wind down — so it holds.
Recorded for youWhat Rick helps with
The same easy work — changing limiting beliefs at the unconscious level — meets you wherever you're stuck. Here's where it most often makes the difference.
Change the habit at the root — privately, without rehab or AA. We work on the belief underneath the reach for a drink, so it quietly loses its grip.
Dissolve the insecurity and self-sabotage that have you guarding yourself against people — and feel more free being who you are.
Ongoing coaching for people who are constantly striving to get better — installing the qualities that let you push through and perform.
Whatever the old loop is — anxiety, procrastination, a habit you can't shake — we change the limiting belief that keeps it running.
In person in BC, or online by Zoom
A focused programme of private sessions built around you and your goal — Rick working with you directly until the change feels like yours. The fastest, most powerful route, and your take-home recordings are included.
For when one-on-one isn’t in the budget
Guided hypnosis recordings you can use entirely on your own, at home. For people who can’t do one-on-one right now but still need the change — the same methods, at a fraction of the cost, on your own schedule.
Real stories
Unedited messages from people Rick has worked with — on confidence, performance, and breaking the patterns that held them back.
It's great! And I sincerely thank you once again. And the funny thing is it doesn't feel like too much has changed, however I feel more free than I've ever felt before. Best Christmas present ever LOL...
It was very weird for me to realize that I was purposefully viewing myself as unlikable as a defense. I'm super happy you were able to help me with that. I never thought I would actually feel more secure and more free by being who I am instead of guarding myself against people.
Thanks Rick. I had some disappointing news this week and I know in the past it would have stopped me from moving forward — but I felt that relentless quality we installed and I just pushed right through and found a better solution. It's a quality that's great to have.
A calm, proven approach — and in your corner.

About Rick
I'm Rick — a hypnotherapist based in Greater Vancouver, BC. I work one-on-one with everyday adults who feel stuck in a pattern they can't think their way out of — a drinking habit, insecurity, self-sabotage, or just the sense that something keeps holding them back.
My approach is easy and human. Using hypnosis, NLP, and Self Concept, I help you change the limiting beliefs underneath the pattern — at the unconscious level, where they actually live. No scripts read at you, no shame, no judgment. When the goal calls for it, we go all the way to the identity level so the change truly holds.
Honest answers
I have a host of techniques from NLP, Self Concept, and hypnosis. Over time I've focused on the ones that rapidly and easily create the changes you want, with the least effort and resistance. They all work best when you're in a state of trance, because that lowers the resistance from your conscious mind and lets me make the changes more easily at the unconscious level. We'll change the beliefs that are holding you back — and depending on your goals, if you choose, we can deep dive and make changes at an identity level.
During our free initial consultation, I'll learn what you want. We'll do some fun exercises to make sure you're a good candidate for this change work — don't worry, almost everyone is. I'll get an idea of which methods will work best for you, and we can make sure we're a good match to work together.
It really depends on what you need to change or improve — some changes can be made in one session. Often, once someone makes the change they came for, they later want to come back for more. I also do ongoing peak-performance coaching for professionals who get paid based on their performance and are constantly striving to get better.
No. Hypnosis isn't the stage-show version. You stay fully aware the whole time, you can't be made to act against your values, and you could open your eyes and stop whenever you like. It feels like a deep, pleasant rest — not a trance someone else is steering.
Completely. Sessions are private and one-on-one, online sessions happen wherever you feel safe, and nothing is shared with anyone. Many people choose this precisely because it doesn't involve groups, meetings, or telling anyone in their life.
No problem. Sessions over Zoom work just as well as in-person, and the at-home audio programs travel with you. Plenty of people work with Rick entirely online.
