Thanks for that wonderful workshop on Saturday.  I came into it very skeptical since it was my first workshop of the kind ever.  I’ve only been dabbling in yoga for about the past year.  I’ve felt like I need/want more so when I got the email from Lisa Bryan I decided to try it.  It was a very emotional and draining day.  I did go home and crash as you warned might happen.  It felt very good to let out that vulnerable and painful part of me in a safe place.  I don’t get to do that very often if at all.  The whole experience helped me remember what it is I need to do for myself.  Thank you.

I have been working with various self-improvement techniques for over ten years…I met Ria at a training and was so impressed by her abilities.  Ria quickly identified influences of my parents that were holding me back, and rapidly cleared me of these influences.   I had used techniques to eliminate these influences I thought I was clear. Ria was “right on” with her diagnosis of these remaining influences, and I could feel the change in me when she cleared them.  After clearing with Ria’s directions, the pain was gone.  Ria had cured in one hour what I was working six months on.  For the first time I could remember, I felt warm inside and part of the world around me. It was a truly remarkable feeling!

--Gary

I highly recommend Ria to anyone working on self-improvement.  Her perceptive and diagnostic abilities are highly accurate, and she is an absolute pleasure to work with.

This class made me more aware of my body and helped me to stay centered and grounded to look deeper into my psyche. .

Open up – peek in side – reach out and – open up.  I learned how to use the breath – rhythm –to connect to the creative part within myself.

Ria Swift is an amazing person!  She has knowledge about the human soul that over exceeds any book.  Ria has helped me to see life in a new and positive way.  She has spent many hours with me, supporting & helping me understand myself and my needs.  I would recommend Ria;’s therapeutic services to anyone who is in need of or is just interested in learning more about themselves.  Thanks Ria!

I feel that the workshop was outstanding.  I really opened my mind to something different that I now have an interest for so I can better my life and destroy certain blocks so that I can move forward and have the things that I want

This was really interesting...almost everything worked and I really feel relaxed now.  The 1st think you had us do with crossing our legs and arms released me a lot but also had me breathing harder.  I would like to know what kind of schooling you had to go through to get here?

I benefited greatly by working with Ria on aspects of my life where deep-seated feelings and beliefs were holding me back. Ria introduced me to a number of techniques to help me recognize, accept and let go of buried but powerful emotions. She seemed to intuitively know which tools would help me most in any given session. I feel better and have moved on in a number of areas after doing this work. The fact that I can continue to use these tools on my own as new challenges arise in my life is a wonderful added benefit.

Ria's work with my daughter was compassionate, knowledgeable, and effective. The BMI treatment prepared her for the wonderful growth into maturity she's enjoyed in the year since. Ria's continued presence and energetic help have enabled my teen to blossom beautifully after many years of deep difficulty, medically and emotionally. It's a joy to witness the change!  As a Yoga teacher, I reverence the moments when postures flow and the mind's only purpose is to observe energy in action. The techniques Ria skillfully employs bring those beautiful moments of flow, and the important, healthy changes in energy that always follow!

--Lisa          

After two individual session with Ria focusing on Multi-Dimensional Healing I found that I was finally able to eliminate the "mind chatter" that had been ongoing for the past few years.  Although the full elimination was temporary,  I found that I had more ability to control the chatter levels after the second session.

--Sally          

I was fortunate to experience an IET session with Ria Swift. I felt refreshed and joyful. The process was truly a heart opening experience. My lungs were filled with peaceful breath. The static in my body was gone.....my thoughts were clear.

--Michelle

My session with Ria was very healing for me regarding my relationship with my parents. Ria gave me insight and allowed me to have a new compassion and love for them. It also allowed me to let go of resentment...I now enjoy a new freedom in my relationship with them. In the past there was a barrier to intimacy. Now there is love, acceptance and ease.

I can see past myself to seeing who I really am.  I can cope with my kids much better.  I got my anger out. Now I know I am not alone, not the only one with these problems.

--Stephanie. 21 yr. old. Mother of 2. 

I learned how to release my stress.  I can handle my kids much better.  I am more comfortable in group.

--Amy.  19 yr. old. Mother of 3.

I am much more relaxed.  I learned how to get a long with other people.

--Natalie. 19 yr old. Mother of 1.

In this group I felt listened to instead of being talked to.  The breathing helps me relax.  I learned how to talk with my husband, how to listen and speak only about my feelings.  We communicate much better.

--Lady.  21 yr. old. Mother of 2.  

None of the girls that come to this group fight.  The other girls in our class do. I noticed that I am more comfortable with all people since being here.  I learned new coping skills

Your class gets us to relax so we don’t get in so much trouble. --Tanaea. 13 yrs. old

You taught me that being embarrassed is not an excuse for saying no.  You make me feel free and open.  It’s not like when I used to feel bad about something and sit down.  --Diego.  13 yrs. old.

When we were sad you made us a whole lot better.  --Steve. 14 yrs. old.
