“RIM® work produces such immediate and extraordinary emotional and physical results, it may at first appear unbelievable, but I have witnessed it in action in my own life and the lives of hundreds of my students and trainees and can testify to its profound impact.”
Jack Canfield

Principles; internationally renowned corporate trainer, keynote speaker, and popular radio and TV

Joan Borysenko

“Dr. Deborah Sandella offers a practical, down-to-earth method of realizing the immense potential that lies within everyone. She is a skillful guide who speaks from experience and with gentle compassion.”
Larry Dossey
MD, Bestselling Author of ONE MIND: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater
Consciousness and Why It Matters
“Dr. Sandella’s RIM® classes have provided me four major benefits. The first is learning the art and science of RIM® by building my skills, and using them to help others resolve their emotional issues. The third is the personal benefit of “cleaning up” my own issues in comfortable yet powerful RIM® processes during classes. And fourth, my strong, supportive relationships with my classmates will continue through a lifetime. Dr. Sandella is masterful in her personal ability to use the RIM® approach to ferret out and resolve issues that are hidden below the level of conscious thought. As a masterful teacher she brings fun and community into her all her teachings. The RIM® process is one of the most powerful and effective tools available for emotional healing, and I would strongly recommend the classes for anyone.”
MaryAnn McDonald
Coach, WA
“I was blow away by the extreme effectiveness of a RIM® process I experienced at a Jack Canfield Seminar–It changed me forever, and I immediately knew I had to learn it to help my clients. This was an astute decision– this tool at my fingertips has helped my clients experience immediate and dramatic benefits; I guide them to dissolve hidden (invisible) emotional blocks and painful memories and remember their organic resourcefulness. RIM® has created amazing results in my keynote presentations, business consultations and private coaching sessions. If you are a trainer, coach, counselor or business consultant, I recommend you learn RIM® to effortlessly elevate you and your clients’ personal and professional results. It is far and above the most effective tool I have witnessed.”
Michael J. Kline
Intus Founder, RIM® Master Facilitator, Business Consultant, Trainer and Coach, Sarasota, FL
“The process of becoming a Certified RIM® Facilitator was and continues to be immensely transformational for me as well as my clients. Interestingly, I am not trained in therapy or coaching, yet most of my clients are coaches and therapist because they find the RIM® process personally invaluable. As a RIM® Facilitator, I am delighted to contribute to the world an organic and sustainable way of letting go of what is holding clients back, while receiving a prosperous livelihood. The value I bring as a RIM® Facilitator is beyond limits.”
Steven Torneten
Coach and Trainer, Omaha, NE
“During my 38 year career as a psychotherapist I have completed many certifications; they were nothing special. In contrast, my RIM® certification is the most complete learning I have received. When I say complete, I mean my personal and professional competence was significantly enhanced. In fact, I would say that my RIM® certification is the most beneficial experience of my life. Also, the Masters training was superior to any previous personal or professional learning. I highly recommend all levels of RIM® trainings!”
