Hypnosis · NLP · Self Concept · In person in BC & online
Rapid personal transformation — change it at the root.
Your subconscious wants to protect you, but it holds false beliefs that keep you stuck. I help you change them at the unconscious level — so old self-sabotaging patterns fall away and you feel more free than you have in years.
- Free, no-pressure intro call
- Completely confidential
- Some changes in a single session
It isn’t a willpower problem
The harder you push against the pattern, the more it pushes back. That’s the clue.
Whether it’s drinking, self-doubt, insecurity, or a habit that won’t budge, the thing keeping you stuck usually isn’t weakness — it’s a belief your subconscious adopted long ago to keep you safe. Change the belief, and the behaviour follows.
- You know what you should do — you just can’t seem to make yourself do it.
- The same pattern keeps showing up: the drink, the doubt, the holding back.
- You’ve read the books and tried the willpower. It works for a week, then fades.
- Part of you wants to change, and a quieter part keeps protecting the old way.
How this actually works
Willpower fights the pattern. This work changes the belief that creates it.
It’s not about being “put under”
You stay aware and in control the whole time — it feels like a deeply relaxed, focused daydream. Trance simply lowers the resistance of the conscious mind so change comes easily.
It works at the unconscious level
I draw on Hypnosis, NLP, and Self Concept to update the limiting beliefs running beneath the surface — and when the goal calls for it, we can go all the way to the identity level.
It’s yours to keep
You can take home recorded audio sessions to reinforce the change on your own schedule, in private — long after the live work is done.
How it works
Four calm steps. No surprises, no pressure.
Reaching out is the hard part — so I’ve made the path forward as clear and gentle as possible. Here’s exactly what working together looks like.
-
A free consultation
We talk so I can learn what you want to change. We’ll do a few fun exercises to check that you’re a good candidate — almost everyone is — and make sure we’re a good match to work together. No pressure, no commitment.
Free · phone or Zoom -
A plan built around your goal, not a template
We map what’s holding you back and what you’d like instead. From there I choose the methods — Hypnosis, NLP, Self Concept — best suited to create the change rapidly, with the least effort and resistance.
Personal · confidential -
Live sessions, in person or online
In a relaxed, guided state we change the limiting beliefs at the unconscious level. You’re aware and in control the whole time. Depending on your goal, we can deep-dive all the way to the identity level.
In BC or over Zoom, anywhere -
Recorded audios to keep the change at home
You can reinforce the work privately with recorded audio sessions, on your own schedule. Many people come back later for the next improvement — or continue with ongoing peak-performance coaching.
At-home reinforcement
What I help with
One method, many transformations.
The same root-level work helps with a range of goals. Quitting or reducing drinking is my flagship offer — but it’s far from the only thing it changes.
Quit or reduce drinking
Change the habit at its root — privately, without rehab, AA, or being labeled. Most people are surprised how much quieter the pull becomes.
Feel secure being yourself
Dissolve the insecurity and self-sabotage that come from viewing yourself as “not enough,” and feel more free instead of guarded.
Coaching for professionals
Ongoing performance coaching for people paid on their results — install the relentless, resilient qualities that keep you moving forward.
End self-sabotage for good
Whatever habit or belief keeps tripping you up, we change it at the unconscious level so the old way simply stops running you.
Sessions & programs
Two ways to do the work — both private.
Some people want personal sessions with me. Others prefer to start quietly at home. Many do both. There’s no wrong door.
One-to-one sessions
Personal sessions focused entirely on the change you want — using Hypnosis, NLP, and Self Concept. In person on Vancouver Island, or over Zoom from anywhere.
- In-person (BC) or online
- Tailored to your goal
- Some changes in one session
Recorded audio programs
Recorded hypnosis sessions you can use privately, on your own schedule — ideal for reinforcing the change at home or starting gently before live work.
- Listen anytime, fully private
- Reinforces the change
- Keep it for life
In good hands
Real people. Real credentials. No fine print.
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.

About Rick
A calm, one-to-one practice — not a clinic conveyor belt.
I’m Rick Raymond, based on Vancouver Island. I use Hypnosis, NLP, and Self Concept to help thoughtful adults change the beliefs that keep them stuck — quickly, privately, and with a bit of dignity.
Over the years I’ve learned which methods create the change you want with the least effort and resistance. I’m not here to label you or lecture you — whether it’s drinking, confidence, or performance, every person gets my personal attention and a plan shaped to their goal, never a template. And when it serves you, we can go all the way to the identity level.
Honest answers
The questions nervous first-timers actually ask.
If you’re skeptical, good — you should be. Here’s the straight version.
What methods do you use to make the changes?
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 — that lowers the resistance from your conscious mind so I can more easily make the changes at the unconscious level. We’ll change the beliefs that are holding you back, and depending on your goals, if you choose, we’ll deep-dive and make changes on an identity level.
What should I expect during the free consultation?
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 what methods will work best for you, and we’ll make sure we’re a good match to work together.
How long does it take?
It really depends on what you need to change or improve — some changes can be made in a single session. Often, once someone makes the change they came for, they later want to come back for more improvements. I also do ongoing peak-performance coaching for professionals who get paid based on their performance and are constantly striving to get better.
Will I lose control or do something embarrassing?
No. Stage hypnosis is entertainment; this is nothing like it. You stay fully aware, you can talk, and you can stop at any moment. It feels like a deeply relaxed, focused daydream — you’re always the one in charge.
Is this confidential? I don’t want anyone to know.
Completely. Sessions are private and one-to-one — in person or over a secure video call from your own home. There’s no group, no register, no label, and nothing that follows you around. Many people choose the online and at-home recorded options precisely for the privacy.
The first step is just a conversation
Whatever you decide, you’ll leave the call feeling clearer about it — not pressured.
No forms, no commitment, no judgment. Just a free conversation to find out what you’d like to change and whether we’re a good match. Most people say the hardest part was deciding to call.
