GOVERNMENT

City of Grass Valley "As a Human Resources professional for over twenty-five years I tend to be very skeptical when presented with programs dealing with motivation and self-improvement. One hour with you at your training/clinic changed all that and I sensed a dramatic shift in my belief system. I would recommend your clinic to anyone who wants to gain more control over their stress and stress-related issues such as smoking and excess weight. It is powerful stuff." - Michael F. Lewis, HR Manager, City of Grass Valley, CA

"Pat Mills, a Yreka smoker of a pack and a half of cigarettes a day for more than 40 years, attended Ricci's seminar in October and has not had a cigarette since she walked out of the Miner's Inn on Oct. 20 (2004). Mills says she noticed a difference in her tobacco cravings before she ever left the building that night. "It would cross my mind to smoke and then the idea would go back out," Mills said.

Mills' friends say they have already noticed an improvement in her smoker's cough and she has noticed an improvement in her breathing." - Siskiyou Daily News, Siskiyou, CA
