Stop Repeating the Same Patterns — Start Actually Changing
It’s not because you’re not trying. It’s because most counselling only deals with the surface — the behaviours, the conversations, the symptoms — without ever reaching what’s actually driving them.
Our approach combines real-world experience, clinical insight, and ongoing research to identify patterns many others miss.
This combination of practical experience and deeper behavioural understanding allows for meaningful and lasting change.
Not One-Size-Fits-All
We take the time to understand your specific situation before deciding on an approach.
- Individual sessions focused on emotional patterns and personal growth
- Family sessions addressing communication and recurring conflict
- Structured coaching alongside counselling for direction and clarity
- Subconscious work when surface-level talk is not enough
- Goal-oriented sessions focused on real progress
BEST-SELLING BOOK & CLINICAL FRAMEWORK
Thought Shifting — Changing The Way You Think Changes Everything
The other part is the constant inner dialogue running underneath everything:
- overthinking
- self-criticism
- fear
- negative expectations
- mental loops that recreate stress and emotional reactions
That’s why Rick Saruna developed Thought Shifting — a practical system designed to interrupt negative thinking patterns and rebuild healthier mental direction.
The result became the book:
Thought Shifting — How To Remove The Negative Inner Voice in 30 Days
This system was developed through decades of real clinical work with thousands of clients.
We don’t just help people feel different. We help them think differently.
When the Same Problem Keeps Coming Back — It’s Not the Problem. It’s What’s Underneath It.
All emotional and relational patterns follow the same structure: something happened — or was never resolved. The emotional charge built. Now it shows up again and again.
That’s what lasting change actually looks like.
What Our Clients Say
"After 5 years of pain and six medical doctors, I was told I was physically fine — yet I was in debilitating pain and unable to function. It is now 6 weeks later and I am totally PAIN FREE. You have helped me more than everyone else in the last five years all put together. Thank you for giving me my life back."
Robert B.
"The most amazing part about working with Rick is that he makes the healing process possible without drama and pain. Issues I had carried for 27 years were simply recognized and released, leaving me feeling a sense of contentment I'd only dreamed of. I would highly recommend Rick to anyone with anger or trauma issues. He doesn't judge or criticize — but he won't let you lie to yourself either."

Lasting results
"I have my M.A. in Counseling Psychology, an M.B.A., and over 35 years of psychological training. Over 10 years as a well-trained hypnotist. I had not been able to budge my own problematic block — Rick Saruna was able to help me. And he did it in a noisy hallway of a restaurant. He's the best I've ever worked with or seen."
Bill Scimone
"When I first came to Body & Mind I was desperate and broken. After only a few sessions, I began to notice a dramatic change in my thinking. By the end of my program I felt like an entirely different person. My wife and I — whose relationship had strained to the point of near collapse — are now stronger than ever. I also have to mention how great Patti was. She always made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in."
Rob G.
We Welcome All Cases — From Complex to Straightforward
“I work in the television industry and struggled for years with stress both at work and on the golf course. I noticed results right away. After several sessions I experienced a huge change not only in myself, but in how I handled pressure and stress. People around me noticed the difference quickly. Rick has been a huge help to my life and future.”

Common Questions
Is this just regular counselling?
At Body & Mind Natural Health, we take a much deeper and more structured approach than traditional talk-only counselling.
Many people come to us after trying other forms of counselling that focused mainly on discussing problems without creating lasting emotional change.
We work with:
* communication patterns
* emotional triggers
* subconscious reactions
* unresolved emotional buildup
* negative thinking patterns
* behavioural and relationship dynamics
We combine counselling, NLP communication strategies, Rapid Emotional Release & Empowerment (RERE), and Thought Shifting to help people understand not only what is happening — but why it keeps happening.
Our goal is not simply to help people cope better.
Our goal is to help create meaningful emotional and behavioural change.
Can you work with families together?
We work with:
* individuals
* couples
* parents and children
* blended families
* family communication conflicts
* emotional relationship dynamics
Sometimes families struggle with:
* communication breakdown
* emotional reactions
* misunderstandings
* parenting disagreements
* resentment
* emotional distance
* unresolved past issues
Our role is to help create understanding, reduce emotional escalation, improve communication, and help family members move forward more effectively together.
Every family situation is unique, and sessions are tailored accordingly.
What if counselling hasn’t worked before?
Often they tell us:
* “We talked about things for years.”
* “Nothing really changed.”
* “The same patterns kept repeating.”
* “We understood the problem intellectually, but still reacted emotionally.”
Understanding a problem and emotionally resolving a problem are not always the same thing.
That is why we focus heavily on:
* emotional pattern recognition
* subconscious reactions
* unresolved emotional accumulation
* communication dynamics
* Rapid Emotional Release & Empowerment
* Thought Shifting strategies
Sometimes the issue is not lack of insight.
Sometimes the emotional charge underneath the issue was never fully resolved.
How quickly do people notice change?
However, many clients begin noticing important emotional and communication shifts surprisingly quickly once the real underlying issue is identified.
One of the biggest reasons people stay stuck is because they are reacting to symptoms instead of the actual emotional issue underneath the reaction.
At Body & Mind Natural Health, we focus heavily on identifying those deeper emotional patterns.
Through Rapid Emotional Release & Empowerment (RERE), many people experience emotional relief, clarity, and behavioural shifts much faster than they expected.
As clients begin learning Thought Shifting strategies, negative thinking patterns, emotional escalation, and destructive communication habits often begin changing quickly as well.
Long-term change still requires participation, consistency, and willingness to grow — but when the real issue is finally identified and addressed properly, meaningful change can begin much sooner than many people realize.
