This is the work I have been seeking, searching for my whole life. Bless you…

I began working with Rik after a very difficult year in which my boyfriend of two years left me; my business which I was so passionate about, failed; I had to go back to a line of work that I swore I would never go back to; and I had debt that needed to be paid off from the business.   When I walked into my first session with Rik I had the total and complete feeling of hopelessness.  I felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders, very overwhelmed and with very little hope of my future.    The techniques and the one on one coaching that Rik provided totally Rocked My World.   The individual coaching and counseling and the compassion as well as the attention Rik provided ended up totally turning me around.   Within a very short time of learning his techniques, the weight of the world was gone, hopelessness gone and now I am very excited about the future.  Also, that business that failed…It is revived and coming back.      If you want live a life of greatness, fun, peace and joy.  Then Rik is your man.

I first came to Rik for cranial-sacral work to try to open up my chest and improve my singing.  During our work, Rik began incorporating a Somatic Experiencing (SE) approach.  Because the SE work has been traditionally tied to trauma healing, and because I hadn’t suffered any traumas in my life, I was skeptical that it would yield any benefits for me.  At first the changes were slow and subtle.  But after several months, I suddenly realized that I had developed a profoundly deeper connection with the world and understanding of myself.  I became receptive to new ideas and better equipped to welcome positive changes into my life. The timing of these changes was auspicious, as only weeks later my soul mate crossed my path.  Because he did not fit the “checklist” for my future husband, I would not have let him into my life had I not developed a deeper understanding of myself.  Thanks to the SE work, my soul was ready to receive him.  Two years later, we are engaged to be married and planning the rest of our lives together.  Pretty powerful stuff!

Working with Rik has transformed me into a different man.  I now know myself as a powerful being that is in charge of his life and this power within has given me the courage to totally embrace this life.  We have been working directly with the stored past in my body and the negative behavior patterns that were formed, in-order for me to create a sense of safety within myself.

Hi, Rik ~That was a GREAT, important session yesterday. I am feeling a greater space of compassion for this human experience with the body and life. Feeling empowered at times and have an underlying sense of that as always available is really grounding and stabilizing too. Amazing. I woke up later in the morning since I had the opportunity to sleep in today. And I woke up with more color in my face. Prior to actually getting up though, I stayed with a few things that came to mind, and really felt it in my body. I’m learning a new skill and being able to apply it immediately, after such great guidance yesterday with you. Thank you for being a fantastic support with this mode of working with what you do.

Thank you for your wonderful session last Friday. Since the Breathwork, bodywork and awareness coaching, I had some breakthroughs during the session – linking the left side of my body to being hit on the head by a male figure, compensating with my right side to be more detached from people, and not feeling empowered to speak up or do for myself. After the session, I had some openings in my life with men. I came clean with my ex-boyfriend and my co-worker about how I’ve been making them wrong for their actions so I could avoid my own responsibilities. I made their actions to mean that they did not value me, realizing I have gathered a lot of anger, resentment and frustration. Other simple miracles have happened and I credit all these miracles to releasing energy I had previously focused on harboring resentment towards men, investing in my own victim hood of being slighted or devalued. Freeing my energies up to focus on what I really want has brought me a lot more ease in my relationships with people. Thank you, Rik! Bless you!

This work, of all the forms I’ve experienced, has given me the most profound results. The thing I love about it, is that what comes up in the sessions is not what I “think” I’m going to work on – but what my body/spirit “need” to work on … and this is always the most perfect for the greatest healings that I need at that time. Besides getting insights, healings, and uplifting experiences, the work also provides me with tools and methods for maintaining balance and grounding in my daily life. Rik is a master coach!  His skill, centeredness, and knowingness safely lead me through the process as areas of trauma are revealed, released and healed. If you are not getting rapid and excellent results with methods you are using, go straight to the best and most effective technique and give Rik a call!

In my personal experience, Rik’s professionalism, skills and empathy are unmatched by any other in a world where everyone talks and few listen or connect. Rik has a rare gift in being able to be present and open others up, mentally, physically and spiritually. It’s clear that he also takes great pride in what he does and that he never lets himself settle… He is always on a quest to improve himself.

I have learned new tools that help me be effective and fulfilled in my work and personal life.  My own felt experience is my highest truth. I can feel myself as a child of God and live this life with more freedom than ever before.

Rik is helping me heal from very early childhood physical, sexual and spiritual trauma.  My inner felt perception has changed from fearful to joyful/curiosity and I am now able to hold difficult energies with more ease.  When I would have a strong fear, it became difficult for my mind to accept it as just that.  I found that my thinking mind would use information from past experiences, horror movies, stories from other people etc, to create a thought that makes sense to the minds view of the world.  I’d typically do this so I could provide myself with a sense that “I am OK”.  Rik has helped put me in touch with my true nature, including my true unshakable inner strength!
