I was blessed to come across Randy through a dear friend who had worked with him to overcome her migraine headaches. He arrived at a time in my life when deep emotional trauma was surfacing and my body was deeply fatigued. I needed help and guidance to work with these heavy energies. His integrity, professionalism and heart centered approach were immediately apparent when I spoke with him on the phone for the first time. He was so skilled at getting to the core emotional blocks and beliefs through the sensations in my body. We worked together to access the subconscious (as we call it my "little one") for multiple sessions and each time it was very profound and transformative. Because of the skills I learned with Randy, I now have a growing relationship with the wounded little one inside and an ability to recognize when she needs love and support from me. All we need is Love from our own Self to return to wholeness and Randy is a powerful guide in helping us to do just this. I highly recommend Randy as a gifted healer! Thank you dear Randy, you are a true angel of light. read more

I came to Randy Hold for help with what I thought was one issue in my life. What I discovered after my first 'session' was the layers I wanted to uncover and heal. I am now in a place where I feel calm, relaxed, and able to deal with many aspects of my day to day life. Thank you Randy. You are amazing. I thank you for helping me understand another lesson. read more

Randy Hold is professional and an expert at his work. I went to him because I was ready to quit smoking for good. I had a cigarette just a few minutes before I walked into his door. I thought that he would remove the urge of wanting to smoke similar to the patch. Well, it was much deeper than that. It was an experience and without going too much into my story I can say that I am SMOKE FREE since our session. He is definitely worth going to if you are ready to have a better life, in general. read more

I can't say enough good things about this truly beautiful human being! He exudes loving-kindness and genuinely wants to help his fellow man. In a world where so many capitalize on the chronically & environmentally ill Randy Hold is a ray of light to help us truly heal. His faith and courage is unwavering and without judgement. He's helped both me and my 30yo son with bipolar depression/anxiety and CFS. He gave us the tools to build a relationship with our inner child so we can identify feelings and make peace with toxic emotions that lead to both physical and mental illness. This is not talk therapy! This is real work netting real results! i can't thank you enough, Randy! UDABESTEST! #GRATITUDE #ABUNDANCE read more

Randy Hold is amazing in assisting in identifying and releasing core emotional wounds. I had one two-hour session with him and I believe I was able to release an enormous amount of painful emotions that had been with me since I was a small child. The session was incredibly healing. I am grateful and I look forward to doing more sessions with Randy in the future. I highly recommend his wonderful work! read more

Healing happens. And, healing happens on a deeper level --and on multiple levels-- with Randy as the guide. Compared to other hypnotherapists I've worked with, his sense and sensibilities are extraordinary. Remarkable, really. Ten minutes into our first session I knew that I had found a gem. His good-hearted nature was evident with our first word exchanges, yet I look for hypnotherapists who will steer the mind with direction, earnest, with tenacity, with grit, and have the stamina to stay with me no matter where my mind goes. Randy Hold does this and more. His style, his techniques work. He clearly is in his element, expressing his passion, on his mission, being his purpose. Go ahead and ping me if you want more info about Randy's style, what to expect with a session with Randy. read more

I had two sessions with Randy to address my arachnophobia. Listen - it's not just a fear of the creepy crawlies - it was DEBILITATING to have this phobia. Small or large, thin or thick, my life was greatly impacted by this fear. I would see one in my house and be completely paralyzed, break into a massive sweat from head to toes, my legs would become wooden, my heart-rate would skyrocket, and my head felt like it was spinning. It was at the point that a home invasion would be easier to deal with than a spider! Yes, it's ridiculous, but it was the truth. My phobia started to take a life of its own and it was defining who I was and what I could and couldn't do. So...after a few days of searching for a hypnotherapist, I saw Randy's website. He was the ONLY hypnotherapist that didn't go into a bunch of woo-woo terminology and feel-good rhetoric. He used very straight-forward language, which for someone skeptical like me, was very practical. AND there was a picture of a spider. Two days later, I made the call and when I talked with Randy about my phobia, I began to sweat and "freak out" just talking about spiders. While on the phone, he had me go to a quiet room, concentrate on his words and directions, and I began to feel the effects of his guidance. What a kind person! He cared enough about me, a perfect stranger, to help me get through my panic attack over the phone! Listen, it's a long review but I wanted to give people the context of what I was going through and how much I was affected by my fear. Things I wanted to do, I just couldn't do! It's hard for folks to understand this, and that's why I'm elaborating. I wanted to garden, to camp, to live on a huge piece of land, to be comfortable in my own house, to be calm even with a spider, AND I also didn't want to transfer this fear onto my kids as they are still young. And I couldn't do ANY of this because of spiders. Small or large, it didn't matter. Ok so the first session with Randy was just great! He's very nice, open, trustworthy, kind, compassionate, patient, understanding, experienced, and is open to humor! The session was 2 hours and we got into some DEEP stuff. So much came out. I had these massive realizations that were just mind-blowing. I can't imagine these issues coming up in "regular" therapy, but it was all there in front of me in just 2 hours. Well, I got home and guess what. A HUGE spider crawled across the floor right in front of me. I killed it. Just plain stomped on the thing. No freak out, no sweating, no panic. Just walked over and killed it. Husband and I went to the mountains the next weekend - LOTS of spiders in the room. On the pillow, in the bed, in the shower, even on the towels! Not a problem. MY husband was absolutely amazed at the transformation! He was stunned at what I had accomplished! Fast forward - I went in for another session and again, MIND-BLOWING at the level of self-realization I got. There was so much that was buried deep in there - messages that my own person was trying to tell me over the past few decades and it all came out in those 2 hours. I only wish I could type it all out for you, the reader. But you'll have to go on that journey for yourself. You are capable of finding out what your mind, body, and emotions are trying to communicate to you. What are you holding on to? What are you afraid of? What holds you back from realizing your full potential? If you're thinking of hypnotherapy as an option, Randy is a wonderful guide with a deeply compassionate spirit. Randy works WITH you and meets you where you're at on your individual path. He's straight-forward and will guide you to where your deep inner-person is trying to talk with you. I am so grateful that I met Randy - my phobia wasn't about spiders, it was something else. And those accumulated 4 hours of session brought it all out so I could face it, deal with it, and let it go. Since my session, I've killed all the spiders in the house that show up, I've started gardening and am perfectly fine with the spider that lives on my raspberry plant, and I clear out the spiders that like to visit my daughter's playhouse out in the yard. I'm not going to be kissing any tarantulas, that's for sure, but I'm not paralyzed with fear or fleeing my own house because of the arachnids. When I find myself with much tension and fear creeping up, I use the skills taught by Randy to get in a place where I can calmly address the issue. It's not a quick-fix magic bullet - it's a set of skills and techniques that can be used for anything that triggers an emotional reaction. These exercises can be practiced anywhere at any time and will greatly enhance self-awareness - making you be a better person for you AND the people around you. Thank you, Randy, for everything that you've done for me and what you do for others. If you're reading this, please know you're making the world a better place. read more

Randy helped me for over a year and he helped me get through my feelings and bad self image (due to my childhood memories) that kept me back from expressing my true self at work, with friends and in my social circles. I highly recommend him to anybody who has similar issues in life. Before that I have never thought that anybody could help me with things like this. Randy is awesome! Thank you! read more

I had a wonderful experience working with Randy, specifically related to his teaching on shaking. This was a two hour introduction to his work in a private home, and I left feeling serene, calm, bliss! I will be using the tools he taught me, and the wisdom he shared, for sure. I would encourage anyone with unresolved issues, stress, anxiety or stuck energy of any kind to explore working with Randy! read more

Five stars does not do justice to Randy Hold and the California Stress Relief Center! I was desperate to end an onset of panic attacks and anxiety that came out of the blue and consumed me. Traditional psychologists and cognitive behavior therapy would be the usual route, but luckily the California Stress Relief Center felt right. Randy has multiple therapies in his tool box and can use one or all them. I thought EFT (tapping) was what I wanted, but for me, that was nearly was effective. I had immediate results, but continue to see Randy not because I need to, I want to! I've learned so much about myself and see Randy guiding me to be a more, relaxed and loving person. Much gratitude to Randy! read more

Randy Hold's gift as a healer is astounding. He is the first hypnotherapists I found who skillfully guides me though my subconscious to help me find and heal the emotional wounds, that stand between me and happiness. One of many examples, I have been trying to get healthy and loose weight for the past 10 years, and this year on December 31st I had a session with Randy to find out why I was making the same New Years resolution every year, and failing. For the first time in my life I now have the determination and dicipline to stay on my weight loss program and I feel terrific, all thanks to Randy. He really has a pure heart and passion for the work he does so well! read more
