To receive testimonials like these is deeply touching. I feel blessed to have so many people in my life who can express gratitude and appreciation so beautifully. Thank you all! And thanks also to many, many more whose private stories of transformation I will treasure forever.

Here is what I am forever grateful for: Rick helped me hear my heart as the loudest voice and the truest guidance in relation to my daughter. He was one of only two voices in my life holding the sacred space of love and wholeness against an onslaught of voices coming from fear. Because of this, I got my daughter back and she got her mom and her life and the possibility to thrive.

Love, Kathy W.

Rick Wilkes and the Thriving Now site are wonderful - literally - full of wonder.  I count it a lucky day for me when I stumbled on it.  I've come a long way since joining this team.  And frankly, I don't know what else could have done that for me. The roof had come down on my head in a very big way.
 
Rick's coaching is wise, compassionate, fun, well-rounded.  He's amazingly able to tune in on what is needed.  It's some kind of gift.  And whether we bring Rick really shattering stuff or daily inconveniences to help us with, he's is invariably patient and kind. I feel better every time I listen.
 
The other part of the Thriving Now Team is the team.  Birds of a feather, they say.  The people in this group are warm and supportive. The members help each other search and grow.  And it's all done with that touch of humanity and caring that makes things possible.  In fact, that might be the point:  this site is making me possible.  Thank you, Rick and team.

Working with Rick Wilkes both privately and on team calls has helped me greatly to release the past, move more confidently into the future and mostly to be more joyfully present in the now. Rick's open-hearted broader perspective, amazing intuition, and great sense of humor always help me to get right to the core and effectively reframe what ever issue  I have. Listening to him work with others has helped me to get in touch with stuff I didn't even know was there and inspired me in my own work with others. It is a blessing and honor to work with such a master.

I found Rick through an Internet search over a year ago....I was looking for a person that I could work with in coaching that had a strong balance of both intellect and spirituality to assist me to move forward, both personally and professionally. He is what I consider a one-of-a-kind "coach" that a person could work with in either business or personal issues.
 
I interviewed many people, and found Rick Wilkes to be such a wonderful fit, as most of his clients do, with his good-hearted humor, endless encouragement, openness, and his warm non-judgmental manner...all the elements that make a top-notch coach, in my opinion.
 
I found Rick to be comfortable and add deep insight into all of life's subject matter from a heart-felt space, to even the most complex or overwhelming issues; he has a unique gift of being able to transform and re-frame complexity into a more simpler "digestible" form that then becomes workable, so a person can easily move forward through obstacles to achieve their goals and dreams.
 
I feel very privileged to have worked with Rick, and continue to learn from his vast insight and feel he is a true friend, coach and mentor to all he comes in contact with.

Rick Wilkes has helped me transform my life. With integrity, deep intuition, a fearless heart and lots of laughter, he supported and guided me as I faced my darkest memories. He reframed the trauma to a wisdom and compassion I didn't dream possible. He knows when to be gentle and when to dig deeper, and is incredibly generous.

He has a quiet, unshakable strength. No topic is taboo, no question too personal. He is incredibly gifted at cutting through the noise and targeting the core issues.  He uniquely combines intelligence, curiosity and wisdom with a practical spirituality. My life has become more wonderful than I ever dreamed. He has my deepest gratitude and admiration. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to be free to celebrate a thriving life.

Rick is one of the most gifted, brilliant EFT Practitioners I know.  I have been a member of Thriving Now since March of 2006.  I first heard Rick on Carol Look's radio show.  At the time I was very sick and had been for six months.  I was physically very strong.  I was training for my third marathon and was in great shape, but emotionally I was going down a deep slope and totally powerless to stop it.  I went to several doctors over the course of six months.  They were the hammers and I was hoping they would find a nail (me) and diagnose what was wrong.  Three cat scans, endoscopy, x rays, draw blood many times. They could find nothing physically wrong.
  
It all changed on a February 2006 morning, hearing Rick on the radio discussing EFT.  He seemed to be talking directly to me.  When the student is ready the teacher will appear.  I immediately sent him an email and he responded in kind.  I joined the Thriving Now community and began working with Rick on several emotional issues.  Most from childhood that I was consciously unaware of.  The road to recovery began.  His skill level of finding core issues and bringing them out to be cleared is amazing.  He taught me EFT and to take it to levels that just amaze me still.  Today, I am emotionally strong.  I continue to learn and grow in the Thriving Now community.
  
Simply put, Rick is the best!

Don't Just Live – Thrive! This was one of the quotes I had put up after spending a week in the hospital two years ago for severe depression. I just KNEW something better had to be out there…available…to me…it was just a matter of finding the tool that would get me there.  It was exciting when I realized that "Thriving Now" was that tool, and exactly fit the quote I had put up earlier in my life…Law of Attraction at work!
I suffered with severe anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and low self confidence for most of my life…I also experienced fybromyalgia pain and chronic fatigue every day for probably my entire adult life…It was such a common state of being for me, that I actually learned to just accept that "pain was my life." It really started to define who I was as a person and what I could accomplish in my life. I had tried all the conventional medical treatments, even quite a few non-conventional techniques. But nothing really seemed to bring continued relief to my body.

Six months after that long week in the hospital, I happened to come across the Thriving Now website. I remember spending a lot of time just clicking the different links to tap along, and read all about this very odd technique. After finding Thriving Now, I started to experience relief with the very first tapping session. Not that the pain went away suddenly, but I began to notice a sense of inner relief and calm in my life at that particular moment…a sense of "It's OK"…and "I'm OK."  That was definitely a new experience for me. At first, it was very odd. My brain and my body resisted this new sense of being. Lots of inner chatter would come up…This won't last…Who am I without the pain and suffering…What would my life be like without the pain…That couldn't really happen for me.  The issues really challenged my limiting beliefs and my firmly entrenched life rules.

For me, Thriving Now means…inner emotional calm and freedom, regained physical strength, a renewed sense of inner peace and confidence, an increased sense of Spirituality and connectedness. Rick is wonderful! He is incredibly…authentic, accepting, compassionate, honest, highly intuitive, generous, and refreshing. He brings humor to areas that were previously stuffy and painful…which seems to bring a sense of relief and calm.  What a blessing to have come across Thriving Now and Rick Wilkes!

I was introduced to EFT a couple years ago, thought it was interesting but never did use it a great deal.  Somewhere down the line I found Rick's Thriving Now site and decided to join the calls.  Wow!  What a difference working with a professional coach has made.  Rick's life experience and professional background make him uniquely fit as a coach.  He is compassionate, understanding and incredibly insightful.  My life is richer, more vibrant and I have seen greater growth this past few months, leaps and bounds, than in several years.  I get it now!   I have returned to a natural state of joy and excitement in Life. What a blessing; EFT and Rick Wilkes together.
 
Thank you,

I have participated in EFT chats with several practitioners, including Masters. I've discovered that Rick's combination of humor, compassion, and intuition is unsurpassed. His recent series on the Law of Attraction was, quite simply, one of the best seminars I've attended—and I am a seminar junkie.

In addition, his site provides the most—and in many cases—the best information and insights available on EFT. His 21-day risk-free trial membership gives anyone a chance to experience the many benefits of membership.

Timidity has always been my biggest problem, but I never truly considered tapping on it because I thought it was imbedded in my personality, or character, or….. so, I learned to deal with it as much as I could.  But since I got the option to work on it with Rick and Cathy, I initially struggled stepping forward for such a subject, because after all, I was already timid, so how can I even do that.  Thankfully, Rick mentioned baby steps to start with, and that made it easier for me to take that first step.  Since then, wonderful things happened!
 
1- Indirect benefit: To my surprise, right after the first call on 09/01/08, I noticed that my chest cough instantly disappeared - I had been coughing for 4 months.   Who knew that timidity was the cause of it.  I am glad it is gone!

2- Direct progress: A few weeks ago, I received an invitation to attend a large business association meeting, and before I could articulate my usual "no thank you," I agreed to go.  In the meantime, I got the opportunity to work on timidity again with Rick and Cathy [09/06/08], a very timely session, considering I was thinking of a way to call and cancel.   During my drive there, a little over an hour away, I prayed, and then I tapped [collarbone only for safety reasons], when I realized this is an opportunity for me to measure my progress.  Interestingly, I walked in through the crowd, and felt unusually courageous.  I normally stand in one spot and hope that the person who invited me would find me and take care of me.  But this time, I looked for her, walked to her and chatted with her….easily… no sweating, no paralysis, no blushing, my arms and elbows were not stuck to my sides.  I felt GREAT and so LIGHT….. until we were told to introduce ourselves, formally, to the rest of the group.  I took a deep breath and panicked a bit, but when my turn came, I spoke well and clearly.  I felt softer inside and flexible enough to actually interact with a group of people I never saw before.  The best part for me is that I ate, that is I chewed, comfortably during the dinner, an event that I normally avoid at all costs unless I have known someone for quite sometime. 
    
I can truthfully confess that I am still timid at some level, and have ways to go, but I have also come a long way so far.  A key factor in this is that I felt genuinely heard during the call sessions, which in turn calmed me down and encouraged me to take another step forward towards emotional freedom from timidity.
    
Thank you for your help,

Rick Wilkes... talk about a package - experienced therapist, intuitive guide, caring friend and insightful conversationalist - all in one!

Knowing you Rick, has indeed brought my vision of myself, the world and people into a whole new perspective. What you have contributed to my well-being, and support that you have provided is something that lasts forever.

Knowing and working with you in not an ordinary thing. It has a special flavor to it. You present the work in a playful way. Delicious - sweet, better than good, better than damned good... its Delicious! I cannot think of you and associate it with something that is not unique, fresh, lively, youthful and thriving. You always find a way to stir in some courage, some determination, something to enhance it………make it whole……………………………..a whole lot more meaningful in a larger sense.

I will always be grateful to you!

Dear Rick,

I found you and Thriving Now when I was searching for an EFT coach to help me with what I used to call “my lifelong allergies.”  I had year round allergies to everything and asthma.  I had tested positive to animals, pollen, dust, dust mites, mold- you name it.  I was on a bronchial inhaler (about 5 years on and off), an inhaled corticosteroid (about 3 years) and a nasal allergy medication (about 10 years) which I took every day.

It is with the foundational EFT work we did privately, and as a team member, that I was able to realize the connection between the allergy symptoms and my stuck emotions. Together with you as a gentle witness I released some lifelong sorrows and some old patterns.

I have continued to work on these energies after I left you using your website, and free recordings (especially the restricted breathing audio- thank you for that) and I am happy to say that I can breathe through my nose (amazing), and I have clear and open lungs.   I find that the incidences of runny nose and the dis-ease in my lungs are diminishing.  I no longer use the medications. What is more I am energized and vibrant!

When we were working together I became pregnant with my third baby. I have to say that this was probably the darkest time of my entire life.  At my ugliest (or so I thought) you always held me in a place of positive regard and love.  By following your suggestion I was able to experience true grace, unconditional forgiveness and love.

Rick you are like an artist who paints with presence, compassion and humor.  YOU INSPIRE ME!

Thank you!

Love,
Barbara Rivera

I find that Rick has an almost magical way to get to the heart of a matter.  On a group call I often ask about one subject, but Rick asks the questions that guide me to what's really bothering me.  I leave the call feeling energized and often full of hope and light.  I know that when I post on our team forum I will get helpful answers and suggestions not just from Rick but also from a group of members that really cares about each other and our journey.  It's a unique environment lead by a remarkable mentor.

I don't know where to begin to thank you for all the valuable information you offer through http://www.thrivingnow.com, and, http://www.eft-talk.com. 
 
As a member of the Thriving Now Team, I'm able to join in on all the coaching calls each month.  And, what's great is, if I can't make the live call, I can listen to the recording at my convenience.  I'm always amazed on the live calls when you or Cathy are speaking to someone with regards to their own situation.  Both of you have an amazing ability to zone in on the core issue.  I love hearing the team members react to that "aha" moment.  Rick, through the team calls and the correspondence I've shared with you and your support team, and the activity on the forums,  the energy on this site is incredible.  I also can't end before I thank you for your quick responses whenever I've had any questions or concerns.   I'm grateful for all the time and effort you've given to all of us ThrivingNow team members!
 
Sincerely,
Jo

When I was first starting to look for work, I tapped on my fear of not being able to get a job, my fear of not being able to fit in, not being able to manage it physically (I had fibro), and no kidding, I sent out six resumes, got two interviews, and was offered a job. The entire process from start of looking till job offer was very short. I think that Rick's work with me clearing obstacles got me in alignment to get a job....

Rick has been so incredibly generous with his time and that in and of itself has been a great teaching for me. The other thing I like about the way he works is that he just jumps in, tunes in, is willing to try new things and is seeming to continually innovate and improve on his EFT. I really like that.

As an EFT practitioner myself, I listen carefully to the words and phrases he uses because the way he puts things inspires me  and motivates me to try phrasing things differently with my own clients.

 He has helped me with his ongoing classes to get through some pretty tough times, including having a nearly full blown panic attack at almost losing my job where I was feeling physically and emotionally paralyzed about going into destitution, he helped me realize that I am in a different place than I was ten years ago when I was really physically and emotionally suffering.

When I first discovered EFT, I saw the value in it however, the way it was presented just didn't pull me in. Then, a few years ago I 'Googled' EFT and the Law of Attraction and Rick's Thriving Now web site came up.
 
After a few minutes of reading articles, I realized that this was a great blending of EFT and LOA and I wanted to know more. I didn't sign up as a Team Member right away, first I listened to some of the free MP3's.
 
After hearing the wonderfully artful and intuitive EFT approach Rick uses with members on the team calls, I was convinced and signed up for the Thriving now Team. By this time, I had even started thinking about changing my full time hypnotherapy practice into an EFT practice.
 
In the first few months, I'd gotten so much from the calls, that in the fall of 2007 I was able to transition into having a full time EFT practice. I also decided to do 100% of my Emotional Freedom coaching sessions over the telephone and I gave up my client office. Now I work with people all over the English speaking world. I really don't think I could have done this without Rick and the Thriving Now Team!
 
After being involved for a little over a year, I have listened to (and borrowed HUGE benefits from) every team call and teleclass workshop in the members only archive. I am constantly blown away by the material. It's like Christmas every time I log on and find new calls to download to my MP3 player. Dish washing has become so much more pleasurable. Although, I have to take a moment to wipe my hands before tapping along!
 
I am very grateful to Rick and the Team. Thanks to all for helping me change my career path and my life.
 
I sure am 'Thriving Now', well beyond my imagination... this time, one short year ago!

On one of the recent morning calls, Rick worked with me on an issue about selling a house to people that had been living there for free (by my agreement with them) and how now that the time was almost up, they would have to start paying, or I would have to make a choice to kick them out or not. I knew I was blocking the flow as I BELIEVED they did not have the money to be able to pay. My thoughts were “No way, ain’t happin’.”  Rick brought possibility into the situation through 20 minutes of tapping with me.

A half an hour after the coaching call, I got a phone call from the man who lives in the house.  He said, “I want to come out and finish picking up the debris in your yard for you.  And while I am there, I want to talk to you about the house.  Did you ever do that amortization table for buying the house and get the payment total?” I answered yes, and went over it with him. He then said, “could you print a copy of that for me?  I want to start the payments by December.  And in the meantime I am going to start giving you enough money to go on the 2008 taxes and insurance for the next 3 months.” (that was not his responsibility as per our agreement) Then he said, “I am going to have the house payment taken out of my retirement check automatically and have it put electronically in your bank account. That way you will be sure to be paid first.”

I just sat there on the phone with my mouth hanging open, saying “ok...ok” My issue had gone from 0 possibility in my mind, to possibility, to being handled --- “out of the blue” --- in just a few hours!!!!!!          

With much gratitude,
Jenny

Rick Wilkes is one of the most outstanding EFT practitioners I've ever had the chance to work with and see in action.  He is caring, warm and extremely knowledgeable on what needs to happen in order to get results.  I would recommend Rick to anyone!

When working with an EFT practitioner, it is extremely important to find the best possible match between practitioner and client.  How blessed I was to meet just such a person in working with Rick Wilkes. 
 
Before coming to Clear Point Center for the filming of Try It On Everything, I looked at the websites of the various leaders of the event.  When I saw the picture of Rick with the dolphin, I immediately knew he and I would be very compatible.  I told my family my hope was that I would be able to be one of his clients.  Imagine my joy when I learned I would be the first participant up in front of the group, working with the talents of the amazing Rick Wilkes. 
 
Rick's extraordinary psychic abilities immediately tapped into my core issues, and hearing him echo back my own words brought clarity and peace to a story that had been relived in my mind hundreds of times. He sensed my sorrow, and traced it back to a powerfully emotional time of my life. He always knew how far to go to bring me into the feeling place of healing--never forcing or coercing, but always allowing me to lead the way. When he spoke in his gentle, loving tone, everything shifted.  Within seconds, I felt a deep peace come over me, just by looking into the calm and compassionate eyes of this remarkable healer.  There is something much deeper in Rick...as if he carries an ancient wisdom that exudes wholeness through the gentleness of his words.  I believe I could have worked with hundreds of other practitioners who would not have made the connection as quickly and precisely as did Rick.  To this day, I stand in awe at how a 15-year-old battle with fibromyalgia collapsed in a matter of minutes, under the careful and watchful eye of Rick.  He turned my sad knees into happy knees, and one year later, I still have no pain. Yes, indeed, I am thriving!
 
There are many types of healers and many ways to heal, but this man has a gift uniquely bestowed.  Without saying a word, he could draw down the intensity of a heart-wrenching memory.  All it took was his smile across the room or the touch of his hand on my shoulder.  Just like that...I would find myself feeling better.  Being a metaphysical healer myself, I recognized this as energy transferred from one to another, simply by the recognition of our shared environment.  What he felt within himself was powerfully transforming what was within myself. 
 
While in Connecticut, there was another moment we shared in a private session where I was so overtaken with sorrow I could barely speak.  Rick's composure and professional knowledge allowed me to unlock the pain I had hidden inside for so long.  When he spoke the words, "I was doing the best I could," my self-punishing guilt gave way to forgiveness and healing.  I could love myself again.  I finally felt worthy of being loved.  All those years of not feeling good enough were gone...just like that.  How do you thank someone for something that remarkable? 
 
Anyone who has the honor and privilege of working with Rick will find themselves forever changed. You cannot be in his energy field without feeling different...better.  His healing abilities are powerful, and just being in his presence is soothing and comforting.  His joy is infectious and his love is real.  His brilliant wisdom seems to come from places unknown, but how grateful I am for having the experience of sharing company with him.  I often wonder if there will ever, ever be any way I can repay him.  It seems the best I can do is to go on to share my experiences with the rest of the world, through written and spoken testimonials to the wonders of EFT and the loving man who changed my life with it.
 
It is with humility and profound gratitude that I offer my personal testament as one of Rick Wilkes' clients.  If you have the opportunity to share time and space with him, you will immediately understand my admiration.  Truly, you will not find a more gifted and generous practitioner anywhere. 
 
When I came home from the filming of the movie, I was so moved by how EFT worked, I became an EFT practitioner myself.  Today, I model my methods after what I learned from those four special days I spent under his care, and now, my own clients benefit from the master teacher who shared his healing techniques with me.  In my eBook, Tapping Into Clarity, I write of just how much Rick's skills transformed my entire life, and I grasp for the proper words to express the enormous gratitude I carry with me, all the time.  No matter how many ways I try to say "thank you," it never seems enough.
 
Rick Wilkes will forever remain one of the most respected and trusted heroes of my life.  Please feel free to contact me through my website to ask further questions or to hear more about how deeply this experience changed my life. I often write about Rick on my blog and in my ezine, and I would be honored to share more of my story with anyone who asks.
 
Meanwhile...Rick, I dedicate every healed client under my care to the freedom you released in me!
 
Namaste!

Rick is someone who I have never met... yet who knows things about my life that those closest to me are probably not even aware of...This is because he has the ability to make me feel as if there is nothing I cannnot share and tap with him as there is no fear of being judged by him. As he so often says there is no right or wrong answer; what is important is how we feel. We have tapped on being trapped in a burning building, on difficult mother issues, to what foods are vibrating with my body, not wanting to exercise to even, would you believe, enjoying sex! Talk about blushing for that one! Anyway thank you, Rick and members of the Thriving Now team for creating that special safe place where I can be my true self and feel so loved, accepted and supported thru it all...

I met Rick back in October 2007. We were filming the weekend retreat for the EFT documentary Try It On Everything and Rick was one of the experts working with the 10 participants. I was just there to help out with the filming, but on the last day when Jackie and Jodi were up on stage working with Carol Look, I was triggered in a big way. I pretty much lost the plot and a whole load of fragmented traumatic memories that I'd previously completely supressed came popping up. I couldn't breathe or stop sobbing. I didn't know what to do and that's when Rick stepped in. He took me off to a quiet area and worked with me for about 3 hours straight to put the pieces back together. He used a combination of EFT, body work and intuitive coaching or guidance. My physical reactions were very intense to begin with - including shakes, body chills, sweats and lots of tears. In just that one session alone, Rick helped me to find my equilibrium again so that I was able to even face the issues that had been triggered for me. By the end of the session, I had stopped shaking and crying and my body temperature had returned to normal. I felt very safe with Rick which was essential for me when recognising an abuse trauma like that for the first time. I am eternally grateful to Rick for helping me at that time and for reassuring me that I had the strength to move beyond this.

Thank you.

Rick has enabled a wonderful change in my life.  When I compare last year to this year, there's no comparison -- I'm a different, better, more fun-loving person.
 
I signed up with Thriving Now because I had problems with abundance; but with Rick's skillful guidance I saw that I had limited so many aspects of my life.  There were so many ways that I held myself back and so many fears that I did not even know I had, and thus, of course, could not address.  When Rick brought these to my attention, he did so in a gentle, kind and funny way.  So many of his tapping sessions end with hearty laughter. 
 
Rick's intuition is amazing and Cathy's is awesome too.
 
My finances now are not perfect, but I'm not standing in my own way where abundance is concerned.  Rick has shown me a place of acceptance -- so much more productive than beating myself up about past mistakes.  With Rick's guidance, I'm no longer fearful about taking steps to improve my circumstances and I'm not unrealistic -- expecting everything overnight.  Such a great perspective to finally have.
 
My relationship with my 9-year old is fantastic!  Just one set of tapping with Rick about this on one of the calls turned our relationship around.  I now have a child who bounds out of bed in the am, happy and laughing.  He doesn't "fight" me about things that have to be done and he's constantly making my day bright.  Thank you Rick for giving me my relationship with my child.
 
My life is good, so much happier than a year ago.  My focus is all the good stuff that I have and if I do get a little down, "that's OK".  I have tools to get me to just a little better and usually that's all it takes to change my direction. 

I highly recommend the coaching calls.  Yes, borrowing benefits works BIG TIME.  Even more amazing are the calls where every participant asks a question that I need clarity on at that particular time.
 
I also appreciate Rick's ability to "take baby steps".  It's so comforting.  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Rick for your openness, intuition, skill and loving kindness.
 
Cathy, your work too has been a fantastic bonus.  Getting the two of you on calls is really amazing.  The two different perspectives you both give is great.  Thank you very much.
