Annyx Day, RTT® Hypnotherapist, RTC® Success Coach
Who is Annyx Day? Please introduce yourself.
I am the founder and CEO of Living Life Above – Moving Yourself Forward in Ontario, Canada. I am bridging the gap between personal and professional excellence. I have achieved a Diploma in Police Foundations Program; a Bachelor of Arts with a Specialization in Organizational Communication Degree; and a Master of Arts Integrated Studies with a focus in Work, Organization, and Leadership Degree; and I am a Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®) Practitioner/Certified Hypnotherapist as well as a Rapid Transformational Coaching® (RTC®) Success Coach. I have had amazing opportunities of being a figure skating coach, a flight attendant, a police officer, a director of business development, a communication officer, a 911 dispatcher, and a supervisor in a national operation centre. Discovering as well as learning both RTT® and RTC® from Marisa Peer and her amazing staff have been the catalysts to my own internal healing from childhood trauma, PTSD, grief, postpartum depression, anxiety, and stress.
What inspired you to start helping people through RTT® and hypnotherapy?
I am a proud graduate of the Marisa Peer School. Learning about and applying Marisa’s Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®) and Rapid Transformational Coaching® (RTC®) methodologies were the catalysts to healing the obstacles and challenges in my own life. Now, I pay it forward by helping and guiding my clients rise above their obstacles and challenges to self-betterment both in their personal and professional lives. In bridging the gap between people’s personal and professional excellence, I am grateful to be privy to understanding my clients’ past, being touched by their stories, watching them rise above their trauma leaving the ashes behind them, re-discovering themselves, seeing them stand in their own power, and now living unstoppable lives! From a very young age, I always wanted to inspire others to move beyond life’s obstacles and challenges and live their best lives. I am living my purpose every day!
How would you describe your approach to healing and transformation?
I wholeheartedly believe you need to heal your past trauma (whatever that may be) to be able to live mindfully in the present. To be mindful is to be made aware of your thoughts, your emotions, your actions, your behaviours, and the events that happen as a result. To be mindful of all of these aspects is where the transformation can take place. Just think, what a beautiful gift to understand why you do what you do, why you think the way you think, why you behave the way you behave, but also to be made aware that you have the power to shift your mindset. When you shift your mindset, your entire life begins to evolve and this is when manifesting the life you want becomes reality. But, you have to heal from what is stopping you and keeping you stuck first. You heal your past, you transform your future, and yes, it is that simple. The first step is being open to the healing process and the key to success is being guided by someone who knows how to do it and who has done it for herself.
What issues do you help your clients overcome most often?
I specialize in anxiety/stress; grief/loss; confidence/self-esteem; and relaxation/being grounded. I have helped clients at many different healing stages in their lives and their ages varied between 25 to 82 years of age. My clients’ success stories are as follows; some have healed from severe anxiety and debilitating panic attacks; some have let go of the heaviness of grief of losing their loved ones; some have found inner-peace and freedom from healing their traumatic past; many have risen and healed from childhood trauma; most have experience an increase in confidence and self-esteem; some have understood why they procrastinate; some awakened to their self-worth and stopped self-sabotaging; some have found their voice and now stand in their power; most have understood they are enough just the way they are; some have accomplished long life goals; one has won his MMA championship, became an actor, and got engaged; one has won her bodybuilding championship and became an entrepreneur; some have expanded their self-worth after ended relationships to narcissists; some have left misaligned relationships; most have understood they are allowed to create healthy boundaries; most have forgiven people who hurt them the most; some have recognized how powerful they really are after healing from a life threatening injury; some have discovered the link to their weight struggles; most have interrupted dysfunctional cycle and upgraded their lineage.
Some have manifested the life they wanted; one manifested her forever home; some excelled in their businesses; one achieved clarity and has written his first manuscript; some have become better managers; one has felt confident driving again after losing 4 dear friends to fatal car accidents; one acknowledged it saved her life; some have quit drinking; some have quit smoking; most have healed their mother and father wounds; most have healed from their limiting beliefs; most have healed their inner child; most have changed their perspective on life; most have recognized how harmful learned behaviours can be unlearned; most have learned how powerful self-praise really is; and all my clients have had many AHA moments during and after their RTT® sessions!
How does Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®) work differently from traditional therapy?
The RTT® methodology combines the most effective techniques from Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), hypnotherapy, and psychotherapy. RTT® is about healing your past in a much quicker way than what traditional therapy can offer because we go to the root, the cause, and the reason of your issues. Instead of working backwards, RTT® goes straight to the cause. We don’t dissect the symptoms, we go directly to what caused the symptoms in the first place. Within the first 20 minutes of my RTT® sessions, my clients understand where their issues come from and most of my clients experience their first AHA/epiphany moment of the session. No time is wasted. Why should clients suffer any longer? This premise is what motivated Marisa Peer to create RTT®. In essence, my clients only need 3 to 4 sessions (3 to 6 sessions are recommended). Furthermore, most of my clients have more than one issue and it is much easier to understand how everything is intertwined and interconnected. When you heal one issue, everything else follows suit e.g., I helped a client with past abusive relationships and we went to the root, cause, and reason of the anxiety. In doing so, her issue with drinking drastically reduced without even doing a session for stop drinking.
Can you share a breakthrough moment a client experienced through your sessions?
I always get AHA and epiphany moments for my clients. Most of my clients have two or three and some have many during their sessions. I truly believe those AHA/epiphany moments are magical because these are where the life-changing shifts happen in my clients’ lives. These are the moments my clients understand why they do what they do, why they think the way they think, why they behave the way they behave, and what has been keeping them stuck. I wholeheartedly believe these AHA/epiphany moments can only happen during hypnotherapy and when tapping into the subconscious mind. This is why RTT® is so powerful and transformational!
What are the biggest misconceptions people have about subconscious healing?
That it is even an option. Thus far, most people I have spoken with don’t even know true healing is achieved at the subconscious level. However, the more I speak about it the more people know about the deep, healing, and permanent benefits of RTT®. Another misconception is that therapy is necessary for years and years. Deep, life changing, and permanent results are achievable in 3 to 6 RTT® sessions.
Who is your ideal client and why should they reach out to you?
Men and women between the ages of 45 and 65 who are all in. They trust the healing process (even though they may not know anything about it), they love themselves enough to want to heal, they are tired of living the way they have, and they are curious in discovering what is on the other side of healing trauma. I work with 36 clients every quarter and I am accepting new clients now. I am able to work with local, national, and international clients because I offer in-person and online sessions. Clients should reach out to me if anything I have said resonates with them and because my clients get amazing results… my testimonials speak for themselves!
How do your coaching sessions help people manifest the life they want?
The Rapid Transformational Coaching® (RTC®) methodology combines in-depth techniques helping you understand how to overcome limiting beliefs, adopt a growth mindset, all with a kiss of RTT®. I start by asking my clients to define what success means to them and I help them get there. Defining their goals and getting really clear on what they want to accomplish are essential starting points. The application of powerful RTC® techniques allow my clients to integrate meaningful progression towards their personal and professional goals. In this journey, my clients gain wonderful insights about themselves, they accomplish personal milestones, and they learn how to adopt a growth mindset and maintain it. My clients experience personal and professional growth beyond their expectations and they learn how to manifest their dreams and desires.
What’s the first thing someone can expect when they begin their healing journey with you?
They don’t need to keep suffering. Furthermore, it won’t take several months or years of therapy to get positive, concrete, and life-changing results. My RTT® healing package is 12-weeks in total. It fast-tracks you in your healing journey much more rapidly than traditional therapy can offer.
Manifesting the life you want is possible. My RTC® Success Coaching package is 8-weeks in total. RTT® is about healing your past, and RTC® is about manifesting the life you were meant to live. These are the results my clients achieve when working with me.
How can someone book a discovery call or start working with you?
As previously mentioned, I am accepting new clients now, and they can reach out to me at my email, or they can request a Discovery Call via my website, or call me at 613-797-8096.
