I decided to give them a try. It has made all the difference. I found Steven Seither both skilled and compassionate. Under his care, I was able to energetically shift my focus from "Things are being done TO me" to "Things are being done FOR me." Once I was able to stop blaming others for my upset, I began to heal. Thank you, Sierra Hypnotherapy, specifically Steven Seither, for helping me realize the power to heal lay within me all along. I highly recommend Sierra Hypnotherapy. I am now back on track. I actually found myself humming the other day. Steven Seither and Sierra Hypnotherapy was a GAME CHANGER for me.

Although I treat most all mind/body conditions, I specialize in working with clients who have suffered abuse, deal with PTSD, have phobias they wish to overcome, or who are experiencing non-medical, sexual dysfunction. In my practice I utilize many different techniques, such as, Cathartic Regression Therapy, Emotional Balancing, Hypnotic Dream Work (TM), Emotionally Detached Regression, and multiple modes of Gestalt Therapy. Studies continue to show that clinical hypnotherapy is extremely effective in helping clients resolve the pains of emotional trauma, self-defeating behaviors, bad habits, or any other issues that interfere with their life, work, or relationships.

So, naturally, when she expanded her services, I had to try hypnotherapy. I was hit pretty hard with PPD and PPA after my second came along, so I went in to my first session with a desperate and admittedly apprehensive "can't hurt to try it" attitude. I was SHOCKED with how much better I feel. It is 3 months later. My anxiety is not gone completely but it is immensely better. My depression too! At first I envisioned it as a more guided meditation but it is so much more. It has helped me beyond compare, even with so many other options out there. I am sure my trust in her played a part too. If you need the help, trust in her. Trust the process. Such a safe place to heal.

First off, two reviewers, Jae D. and A. M. prominently displayed their ignorance of how Anthem Blue…read moreCross PPO health insurance plan works or a comparable PPO medical plan. Both Jae D. and A. M. were misinformed that they owe no "copay" to an In-Network acupuncture provider. After the annual deductible is met (which varies with each contract), Anthem will cover 80% of the treatment, the patient/insuree is responsible for 20%. Anthem calls this 20% "coinsurance" payment, which is often confused with something different called a "copay." Copay is a fee and term normally associated with an HMO policy, like for Kaiser Permanente and other Health Maintenance Organizations [HMO]. Whichever term is used, most people equate paying any amount at the doctor's office as a "copay." More confusion happens because many people are unaware that their annual deductible has not been met, and full amount of the doctor's visit is owed. That is the $40 that Dr. Wendy Stedeford is expecting for a treatment. Her actual higher billing rate to Anthem is commensurate to other medical professionals. Per contractual agreement between Dr. Stedeford and Anthem, a patient's bill is immediately reduced by 76% as an In-Network Provider "plan discount." After this plan discount, the total amount owed to Dr. Stedeford is $41.25. But, since she is nice, she only asks for an even $40. Contrary to uninformed assumptions, Dr. Stedeford does not receive any other compensation from Anthem---only the $41.25 due to her from the patient. If the patient's annual deductible has been met, they only pay $8.25 or 20% coinsurance. Anthem will then pay $33 or 80% plan coverage to Dr. Stedeford. I think it is extraordinarily selfish and even cruel to expect an acupuncturist L.Ac, or a chiropractor D.C., or an optometrist O.D., or other types of doctors who complete a very expensive and long graduate school program to obtain a professional degree, go through testing and licensing processes, set up a medical practice by paying for an office rental space and other enormous business expenses, only to be paid $40 a treatment? This is incomprehensible to me. My M.D.'s and D.O.'s all charge between $400 to $550 per office visit. And, those doctor's visits are often only for a few minutes, after sitting in the waiting room for sometimes long periods beforehand. Osteopaths D.O.'s typically provide longer time with patients. Selfish people have no concept of the years of post-graduate education required, the board exams required regularly, the cost of paying for office rent, employee salaries, various business insurances, business income taxes, corporate filings, equipment . . . all while having to repay huge student loans for medical school and bank loans to open a healthcare practice. Dr. Wendy, in her kindness and humility, will give you her full attention for perhaps 30 minutes to ascertain your health needs. For my visits, she has often talked with me for up to 60 minutes so she could better devise an acupuncture treatment for me that day. She has a great deal of knowledge of Chi, body meridians, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and of course, acupuncture. I love listening to her describe how every internal organ and gland equates to specific symptoms and direction for acupuncture treatment. Before she begins deploying the specialized needles, Dr. Wendy explains what she is doing and why. Then, with any number of needles placed about my body for that particular treatment, she places a mylar blanket on me as I lay resting on the table, in a quiet private room. I often fall asleep as my time-on-the-table approaches 30 minutes. With every single acupuncture session I've experienced with Dr. Wendy Stedeford, I left feeling better and more energetic. I know my overall health improves with acupuncture. My acupuncturist in Sonoma County did not accept insurance and charged $110 per session, and that was over 20 years ago! My current registered dental hygienist R.D.H. with far less education and training than an acupuncturist, charges $97 for my teeth cleaning. I feel very grateful to Dr. Wendy to receive all that service for only $41.25 (since my deductible has been met, $8.25). Guilt for paying such a small amount occasionally pops up. Yet ironically, guilt will interfere with the full health benefit of acupuncture. So, I focus on my gratitude to the wonderful care Dr. Wendy Stedeford, L.Ac provides to everyone. Review 0212 Feel.

Little did I know that my journey with her would not only address my initial concern but pave the path to newfound self-discovery and fulfillment. My experience with hypnotherapy combined with Reiki under Susan's guidance has been nothing short of transformative, taking me far beyond weight loss to a life that truly feels like a dream realized. Initially, I was skeptical about exploring hypnotherapy and Reiki. However, I was desperate for change and willing to try anything that could help me overcome the barriers that seemed to hold me back. From the very first session, Susan's warmth and expertise put my mind at ease. She fostered an environment where I felt safe to delve into layers of my psyche that I had never explored before. The journey was deeply introspective. Through hypnotherapy, Susan guided me into a trance state where I could access my subconscious mind. It was in this space that I began to uncover the root causes of my self-sabotaging behaviors and limiting beliefs. Meanwhile, the gentle energy of Reiki provided a supportive backdrop, helping to soothe my spirit and align my energies. As we delved deeper, I started connecting with aspects of my past that I had buried or misunderstood. Memories that once felt painful were reframed, and I began to see how they were shaping my current reality. Understanding these experiences was like unlocking a map of my soul's journey, providing clarity on why I reacted to life in certain ways. Susan's holistic approach didn't stop at understanding the past. She also empowered me to envision my highest self--the version of me that was capable of achieving anything I desired. This was a revelation. I hadn't realized that my dreams--like attending graduate school and the allure of island living--were attainable. With Susan's help, the path to these dreams unfolded organically. I discovered that my weight struggles were a physical manifestation of deeper emotional blockages. As each session tackled my internal roadblocks, I noticed a profound change in how I approached my physical health. I began to lose weight not by adhering mechanics of restrictive diets but by nurturing a harmonious connection between my mind, body, and spirit. Today, I am living a life that once felt impossible. I've enrolled in a graduate program that energizes and excites me daily. Moreover, I made the brave decision to relocate, immersing myself in the tranquil beauty of island life--a lifelong dream that seemed distant until Susan's guidance opened the door. Hypnotherapy with Reiki didn't just help me understand my past; it emboldened me to forge a future where I manifest as the highest version of myself. I'm forever grateful for Susan's compassionate approach that masterfully merged the science of hypnotherapy with the healing power of Reiki. For anyone on the brink of change or feeling lost in their life journey, I wholeheartedly recommend embarking on this healing adventure--it might just change your life as it did mine.

For the first time in his life he's been able to go to school and get through his day without meltdowns in class. He has also been able to use the meditation techniques Tai taught him to calm himself when he gets worked up. I honestly can not recommend Tai enough.

Growing up I had several traumas, and unfortunate events happen in my life. Like many people, my…read moreperspective was that I was a "victim". As I became an adult, and overcame the past, or so I thought, bad things continued to happen. I found myself in an abusive marriage, and then a single mom of two kids with "disabilities". I was working full time supporting them, my mom, nineteen employees, and myself. Not only was I supporting them all, providing for them, and going to multiple doctors' appointments a week; I was also carrying their stress, pain, and disconnect, with me daily. I hated my life, I didn't understand why all the bad things happen to me. Every time I turned around there was another bad thing I needed to deal with. I looked for my worth in others, friends, kids, family, and mostly men. Every time I met someone, I would feel happy, beautiful, successful, smart, hardworking, etc. The moment I found out this person was not Mr. Right, I became depressed again, low, I hated myself, and my life. I put all of my happiness and value in the hands of someone else, someone that at the time I was calling into my life vibrationally, and they were exactly what I didn't want. I soon found myself stuck in bed, crying, not showering, eating everything in sight, calling into work, and not wanting to live. Then my dad suggested for the 10th time, that I go see Derika, I agreed. She was able to see me that day. I walked into her office crying, thankfully I forced myself to shower, and feeling as if she was my last hope of surviving. It is now six weeks later, and I for the first time in my entire life, feel alive, at peace, truly happy, and enjoying all the world has to offer. Derika helped me find the person I needed to make me happy, the person I needed my validation from; the person I needed to help me have my dream job, dream man, dream house, and dream life. I found me. With love, Jo
