True Words of Praise from Clients of Devin Ryback
Jason Ezell; Ithaca, NY
Devin's shamanic healing session sparked an immediate energetic improvement for me.
I wanted to address issues with insomnia. He noted the tensions I carry on the left side of my torso and eased them by using shamanic methods involving light touch, breath, and movement.
We then quickly identified and described my issues with grounding energy, and he led me through a short tree visualization which clearly helped me to feel my energies as more anchored and stable.
Once home, I felt sharp, upbeat, and engaged, but that energy was now tangibly linked to my self and body, rather than feeling manic, chaotic, or anxious.
This tension-release and grounding has been the basis for better rest since. Really productive session!

I was having problems consistently listening to my heart, often relying on signals that weren't optimal, and didn't feel right.
Before it would sometimes feel like I'd "get it", but then I'd lose it again after a few days and forget to listen until life put me in a place where I had no choice but to listen.
Devin brought a confidence and focused energy that helped me to send the intention as far out as I wished in the direction that I hope for. There was a calm energy about the session that said "this is happening, and we won't even have to try."
I felt like our work was working to solve the problem the moment I chose to reach out to schedule this session.
I think choices like that, made with the right intention, can the be most important part of a catharsis. The most cathartic moment, however, was announcing to the universe that I am worthy of accepting all that I desire, and accepting that. That magic couldn't have happened without Devin.
It's a path. It's a piece. Choosing this session will forever be a point in time that I can look back on as the moment when I chose change. It's all about that. Making the choice. Devin's coaching helped me to make that choice.

Before working with Devin, I was struggling to relax and feel confident going into a major event that I was about to lead. I usually don't have any problems with nervousness, so this struggle before this major event was shocking to me and a big deal, probably arising because the event was so deeply connected to my life's purpose.
I was feeling uptight, frustrated, very irritated with one of my primary collaborators, and a bit forlorn.
I decided to have a session with Devin because I wanted concentrated help on getting out of my head and into my body so I could be fully present and open as I led the event.
Devin's work was very different from any other hypnosis or coaching that I've received... simultaneously more gentle and more penetrating than some other hypnotists I've worked with...
... I guess I would see that difference in the skillful & embracing way that Devin held the container, in a manner that was both decisive, firm, and also all-inclusive of our interaction.
The approach felt distinctly nondual to me, in a way that I found relaxing and entertaining, since... well, since nonduality is the actual truth of everything anyways, it's refreshing to work with someone who knows how to acknowledge and hold that very well.
Interestingly, I know that Devin opened the container of our session by invoking our Higher Selves... and then I have no memory of our conversation in our session subsequent to that, which shows me how much it somehow went right into my unconscious.
I realized that the work Devin and I did together was actually totally working to solve my problem when during the flow of the weekend event that I was leading I realized that I was having a marvelous time, totally in the flow, feeling fully heart-open, and not feeling worried or up in my head AT ALL.
In other words, I got exactly what I asked him for help with, and given how uptight I was previously, I don't even know how exactly it came to be other than: magick.
Now that the problem has been solved, I'm enjoying an expanded sense of what's possible with group work, space-holding, and with hypnosis itself, and basking in the glow of a delightful event with many more to come.
I'm very grateful to Devin for this marvelous help, and I highly recommend that you go ahead and sign up to work with him if you'd like to similarly enrich your life.
I first met Devin at one of his workshops, where he shared his extensive knowledge of hypnosis and its practical application. After the workshop, I talked to Devin, and he was kind enough not only to address all the questions I had, but offer guidance on the next steps for me to take.
I immediately connected with his way of explaining things on all levels. Devin had an answer for every single question that I had that resonated with me 100%.
Soon after the workshop, I hired Devin as a hypnotist and a coach.
The main issue that drew me to the workshop was that I could not hack my obsessive subconscious thoughts, reactions and behaviors no matter what I tried, and I tried a lot of different modalities.
From the very first session, we established good rapport and were able to dive deep into suppressed subconscious urges, beliefs and personal lies and bring back insights and practical solutions, thanks to Devin's intuitive guidance, openness, fearless exploration of challenging material that came up and the humor (where applicable) that helped me navigate even the darkest corners of my subconsciousness.
I felt supported throughout the time we worked together with regular checkins and follow ups.
I really appreciate Devin's book recommendations and advice that helped me integrate solutions and revelations I had during hypnosis sessions into my everyday life. Every session I had was full of insights and fun.
One of the most important gifts I received from Devin was a practical application of the phrase "where attention goes, energy flows." I saw that happening quickly before my eyes, and that's priceless.
