Seeing yourself whole, for the first time
I thought I knew myself.
None of it was new information. I'd worked with every one of these systems for years, on myself and with thousands of people. Every piece I'd seen separately. But seeing how they all speak to each other, how one illuminates another, how the patterns layer and confirm and deepen... it was like finally seeing the whole picture after years of studying individual puzzle pieces.
It even pointed to a core wound I'd never directly worked on. And it named that wound with more precision than years of exploration ever had.
I felt truly seen like I had never been seen before. And I already knew exactly what areas to work on to free myself from the remaining fears and blocks that have been quietly running my life.
If it could do that for me, after 23 years of deep work, I knew it could do that for others.
That's why I built the Pattern Portrait.
Most personality systems give you a type. A category. Something to Google and nod at and then put back on the shelf.
The Pattern Portrait does something different. It takes five time-tested wisdom systems and looks at what happens when they all point at the same person at the same time.
What comes back is not a profile. It's a portrait. The patterns that have been quietly running your life become visible. The wound underneath all of it gets named with a precision that usually stops people mid-sentence. And suddenly you're not looking at a list of traits. You're looking at yourself.
Your core motivation, deepest fear, and the pattern you keep repeating without knowing why
How you're energetically wired, how you make decisions, and why certain strategies keep not working
Your gifts, your shadows, and the precise pathway from where you are to where you're meant to be
Your life path, your soul's lesson, and what this particular year is asking of you
Your personality archetype, your spiritual symbol, and your growth card for this year
Separately each of these is powerful. Together, pointed at you at the same time, they become something most people have never experienced. The whole picture. All at once.
And here's how change actually happens. The portrait names the pattern. The session traces it back to where it began. And beliefs you've carried since before you could talk, beliefs that felt permanent, start to move. Not because you learned a new concept. Because you finally saw where the old one came from.
Ninety minutes with Rick, on Zoom or in person in Sedona. You read your portrait before we meet. Then we talk about what landed, what stung, and what you pushed back on. And then we go to work, live, on the wound your portrait named. This is the part no document can do.
A written portrait of who you are. Ten to twelve sections covering your design, your gifts, your core wound, your soul's purpose, and a real pathway from where you are to where you're meant to be. Rick writes every portrait personally, then refines it after your session, so what you keep is even more accurate. There is no template. Nobody else gets yours.
AI Rick is a reflection tool built on Rick's coaching style, free to anyone in his toolkit. Your portrait is what makes it personal. Paste it in and AI Rick knows your patterns, your language, your specific situation, and asks the questions Rick would ask. At 2am if that's when you need it. It's not a general chatbot, and it's not a replacement for real coaching or crisis support. Think of it as a mirror that remembers you between sessions.
A guide that shows you how to use your portrait to unlock any self-help book you've ever read or course you've ever taken. Run a book through your portrait and it stops being general advice. It becomes a letter written directly to you about your specific life right now.
"I keep replaying things we talked about over and over. It was by far the most insightful and helpful session I have ever had."
Julie Straetmans
Most self-help is written for everyone. Which means it doesn't quite hit for anyone. You read it, feel something, highlight a few lines, and three weeks later you're back where you started.
Your Pattern Portrait changes what's possible.
When you combine your portrait with any book you've ever loved, something shifts. Wayne Dyer. Eckhart Tolle. Brené Brown. The Four Agreements. Any of them. The book stops being general advice. It becomes a conversation about your specific life. Rick ran his own portrait through a Wayne Dyer book he'd read years ago. Two chapters in, Dyer was talking directly to the most difficult situation in Rick's life right now. He hadn't expected that.
We show you exactly how to do it yourself.
The fastest way to understand what this is: read one. Here's a complete sample so you can see exactly what a Pattern Portrait looks and feels like before you decide.
"You feel everything. Not as a figure of speech — literally. You walk into a room and you already know what's happening emotionally before anyone opens their mouth. That's not a skill you developed. That's how you're wired... The trance you'll want to break is: love must be earned through giving. It was never true. And it can be broken."
— From a real Pattern Portrait prepared by Rick Reynolds
"I got a little angry at you. How do you know so much about me? Who told you all those things? It's like you were looking inside of me."
A client, reading her portrait for the first time
This isn't for people just starting to do inner work. It's for people who have already done a lot of it and still feel like something hasn't quite clicked.
If any of that sounds like you, this was built for you.
I left a 20-year career in television news in 2001 after a breathwork experience asked me why I made my life so hard. I moved to Sedona and never looked back.
Since then I've guided thousands of people through retreats, coaching, and hypnotherapy. I've worked with every system in the Pattern Portrait for more than two decades. Not in a book, but in real sessions with real people going through the hardest things of their lives.
Your portrait is something I prepare personally. I read your intake form carefully. I spend 90 minutes listening to you. Then I sit with everything and write. What comes back is yours alone.
"Even before I finished reading, I thought: okay, this was worth the investment. And I've done a lot of personal work."

One session. One portrait. A lifetime of use.
Payment plans available. Just ask.
Not at all. If you know your type that's helpful. But part of what we do together in the session is make sure we have the right information before building your portrait. If your type isn't clear we'll work through it. Getting it right matters more than getting it fast.
A personality test gives you a category. The Pattern Portrait takes five systems and looks at what they reveal about you when they're all pointing at the same person at the same time. It also accounts for your actual life: your history, your patterns, what's happening right now. The difference is the difference between a label and a portrait.
Over the following weeks you'll receive a few guides that help you go deeper, including how to work with AI Rick and how to use your portrait as a key to unlock books and courses you've already encountered. Most people find they keep returning to their portrait. It tends to reveal different things at different times.
Yes. A lot of people find that the portrait makes clear exactly what they want to work on next, and then choose to go deeper through individual coaching or hypnotherapy sessions with Rick. Your portrait becomes the map for that work.
Your session with Rick is 90 minutes. Your portrait is yours to keep and use for years. The booking takes two minutes.
