WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

She held space for me throughout the entire process, and I felt completely cared for and supported. I was able to unlock and release so many things that I had not realized I was still carrying. I want to thank Charies for her care, support, and professionalism. I had a major project ahead of me, but I kept sabotaging myself and could not understand what was holding me back. During our initial conversation, she gently helped me look within and recognize that I was dealing with a fear of success. We then had a hypnotherapy session, and it was incredibly powerful. She held space for me throughout the entire process, and I felt completely cared for and supported. I was able to unlock and release so many things that I had not realized I was still carrying. The session gave me a profound new understanding of myself, and through both the hypnotherapy and the personalized audio she provided, I began to notice a deep and powerful shift. I started feeling braver, more confident, and truly enough. Most importantly, I was able to move forward and successfully take on my project. Thank you so much, Charies, for your invaluable help.

Letting go of old patterns and stories is incredibly powerful. It can feel vulnerable at times, but it also feels like real progress, like stepping more fully into adulthood. As a result, I'm more open to embracing the life unfolding around me and recognizing the meaningful impact I'm already making in my relationships. My self-talk has also become much more conscious and compassionate. I wholeheartedly recommend Charies to others, and I already have. Her work has been truly transformative. I sought RTT because I felt my pattern of overachieving and constantly doing more was getting in the way of my happiness. I had a persistent tendency to feel like I was never doing enough or achieving enough to meet my own expectations, and I wasn't experiencing the sense of fulfillment I wanted from my accomplishments. Charies guided me skillfully through the interview process with warmth, kindness, and genuine care. She was excellent at helping me uncover and clarify what was at the root of this pattern. I completed one RTT hypnosis session and gained tremendous insight while releasing old emotions I had been carrying since childhood. I realized that my pattern of overperforming had once served a purpose; it helped me feel like I fit in as the youngest child, where I often felt I wasn't contributing enough. Since then, I've become much gentler with myself. I've realized there are more effective ways to persevere, and they include being engaged and present with myself and others. I now have a healthier understanding of my boundaries, allowing me to stay in a loving, positive energy with what I'm doing and experiencing. As a result, I'm more open to embracing the life unfolding around me and recognizing the meaningful impact I'm already making in my relationships. My self-talk has also become much more conscious and compassionate. I've been taking action in new endeavors and spending my free time on experiences that have led to deeper, more authentic relationships. I'm also making meaningful changes in how I spend time with different family members, and those adjustments have been much easier than I expected. Letting go of old patterns and stories is incredibly powerful. It can feel vulnerable at times, but it also feels like real progress, like stepping more fully into adulthood. I wholeheartedly recommend Charies to others, and I already have. Her work has been truly transformative.

The changes have rippled into the everyday — how I parent, how I make decisions, how I talk to myself in hard moments. There is more steadiness now, and a sense that I am the one at the helm of my own life. I came to RTT in the midst of one of the most significant seasons of transition I've experienced — navigating divorce, learning to provide for myself, raising young children largely on my own, and doing much of it without the support of a family of origin. I had been doing the inner work for years — therapy, mindfulness, meditation, time in nature — and while all of that had been meaningful, I was looking for something that could help me access a deeper layer. I wanted to move beyond just understanding my patterns intellectually and actually shift them. I was seeking more confidence in myself and a genuine sense of agency and direction in my life. I wasn't new to RTT when I came to Charies, but her attentiveness and the depth of care she brought to the work made this experience feel entirely its own. What stood out most was her ability to reflect back to me the areas where I had already been growing — things I hadn't been able to see clearly on my own. There is something profoundly powerful about having someone hold up a mirror not to your wounds, but to your progress. She helped me recognize that the shift I had been working toward was already taking place within me. Her presence throughout the session was warm, perceptive, and deeply attentive, and I left feeling genuinely seen. I completed one session with Charies, in addition to several follow-up check-ins which proved to be so integral to the process. I was honestly surprised by how much movement I experienced from a single session. I came in hoping to strengthen my confidence and find more of a felt sense of direction, and I walked away with both. Something shifted in the way I relate to myself — there is a quieter, more grounded quality to how I show up now, and a greater trust in my own capacity to navigate what life is asking of me. Given all that I have carried and all the work I have put in over the years, this session felt like it unlocked something I had been building toward for a long time. The changes have rippled into the everyday — how I parent, how I make decisions, how I talk to myself in hard moments. There is more steadiness now, and a sense that I am the one at the helm of my own life. I would absolutely recommend Charies to others, and particularly to anyone who has been doing the inner work for a while and feels ready to go deeper. She brings a rare quality of attunement to this process, and her gift for reflecting your own growth back to you is something I didn't know I needed until I experienced it.

I initially sought RTT/hypnosis because I knew I needed help, but I wasn’t fully clear on what was underneath my struggles. Through the intake process, I gained much greater clarity about what I was experiencing and where I needed support. During the hypnosis session, I discovered a deep-rooted fear of not being accepted, shaped by very early impressions in my life. That awareness alone was incredibly eye-opening. I was also hesitant at first because hypnosis felt unfamiliar and a little intimidating. Charies explained everything thoroughly and gently guided me through a brief hypnotic state beforehand, which immediately put me at ease and helped me build trust in the process. I felt safe, comfortable, and fully in control throughout the experience. Working with Charies was incredibly impactful. She is a deep listener in every sense. The way she heard, reflected, and reframed my experiences helped me see long-held beliefs in a completely new light. It felt as though I was waking up to misunderstandings I had carried for years. This continued through our follow-up check-ins, where she helped me recognize how these internal shifts were showing up in my daily life and supported me in integrating them in a grounded and meaningful way. After completing one session, I continue to notice positive changes unfolding within me. I feel freer in a way that is difficult to fully put into words. Situations that once triggered tension, anxiety, or defensiveness now feel much more manageable and peaceful. I am less reactive, more grounded, and more open in my interactions with others. Most importantly, joy has returned. I would wholeheartedly recommend Charies to anyone seeking greater clarity, healing, and lasting inner change.

My second session was for anxiety and was timely for a trip I was taking. I had not taken a long trip by myself for over 10 years and was very anxious about it. I was so anxious that I was not sleeping well, and I felt a pit in my stomach all the time. The anxiety is much better; it still pops up every now and then, especially if I think about being anxious. If I don't think about it, I do not have any. I call that a win! If it does get to be too much, I listen to my recording, and I am calmed immediately. The audio recording is soothing and easy to listen to. It makes me feel like I have come out the other side feeling stronger and like I have won the battle. Working with Charies has been very positive. She is compassionate, non-judgmental, thoughtful, and thorough. She took time to prepare to make sure I, as the client, was understood and comfortable. The follow-up was kind, inquisitive, timely, and effective. I am grateful for the positive changes I experienced and would highly recommend Halcyon Paths and Charies to anyone struggling with anxiety, unwanted habits, or emotional challenges.

I did two sessions for two separate issues with Charies: nail biting and anxiety. I had tried other modalities to quit biting my nails, and frankly, I had given up, but the appearance of my fingernails and hands brought me shame. The only time I ever had freedom before hypnosis was when I would get my nails done in a salon and they covered them with gel. I achieved my goal for the session to stop nail biting. I now cut my fingernails and file them down. I am free to shake someone's hand now without feeling shame. Working with Charies has been very positive.

I requested Charies to help me with anxiety and insomnia. She was extremely professional and easy to communicate with, which ultimately assisted her to help me get to the root cause of my issues. Charies provided one powerful and very helpful session which provided me with the tools that I continue to use that help me address my anxiety. I would highly recommend her for RTT and know that her empathic, personal and professional approach may be the solution you may be looking for.
