I found out about Patrick's work through Youtube as a colleague left a review for one of his programs. When I saw his videos I got the sense that he is very calm, wise and authentic and I thought he may be able to help me with a deep fear I was struggling with. I was pleased to learn that he can also work with people remotely. I didn't realize the fear was just a symptom of what was going on in my life and that some parts of my life were really out of balance. We discovered this through working with the Enneagram, which Patrick is also an expert in. Our conversations reawakened parts of myself that had been long dormant. I now have a renewed sense of joy, possibility and purpose and I can’t wait to discover what’s next! Patrick's approach is organic and holistic, drawing from his deep sense of intuition and many wisdom traditions and teachings. I highly recommend Patrick for anyone who is serious about creating positive change in their life!
Working with Patrick has been incredibly helpful in defining meaningful goals personally and professionally that have been transformative during my work with him and the future I am defining. I have learned new tools that I can apply to my day-to-day while helping me achieve the goals I set out to accomplish.
Patrick is a very advanced being with lots of wisdom and knowledge to share. I saw him for a weight loss hypnosis program, and for regression therapy. Even though the full effects of the weight loss program will take time to come to full fruition, I have noticed many benefits and changes in my life already. I have had one regression therapy session with Patrick to date, and it was very powerful and insightful. I also recommend his book awakened wisdom as it has helped me to see myself and my interaction with life in a completely different light. I would definitely work with Patrick again in the future.
Patrick and his hypnotherapy has been a tremendous benefit to both my personal growth and the growth of my business. Through hypnosis, Patrick was able to guide me into my own subconscious in order to clarify my goals and work through some of my blockades. I didn't really know what to expect and was a bit skeptical as this was my first time being hypnotized. However, I felt in control at all times and actually really enjoyed the process. I would now genuinely recommend it to anyone who wants to expand their footprint in the world!
In my 30 years of spiritual travels, and solopreneurship, I have never met anyone as skilled on so many levels as Patrick Ryan. He is a unique and rare individual. If you have the chance to work with him, you are indeed a lucky human being. I intend to do more! Don't forget to pick up his book "Awakened Wisdom" which for me, put manifestation in perspective in a way no one else has ever done it! My copy is dog eared and well-loved.
Is my duty as a Personal trainer and wellness professional to recommend the work of Patrick to family and friends, at just my first session with the group , I can see how all the topics treated can relate to all of us, this with the intention of creating awareness to develop skills and action plans to improve in all aspects of our inner personal and professional growth . I'm thankful for this experience, and for what is about to come.
I'm not entirely sure where to begin because I have so many wonderful things to say. Patrick is a great listener, and his calm and collective attitude have allowed me to cut through my noise to formulate an action plan. Working with Patrick has been incredibly helpful in defining meaningful goals personally and professionally that have been transformative during my work with him and the future I am defining. I have learned new tools that I can apply to my day-to-day while helping me achieve the goals I set out to accomplish.
