Rock Bottom to the Highest Mountain

I first discovered NLP when I was at my lowest, I’d left my marriage, my business had gone bust, I had moved back to my parents, I was 23 stone and at rock bottom.

I attended the NLP foundation course and lost 6 and a half stone in 9 months and signed up to continue the courses until I reached a qualified trainer.

I now train others in NLP and I have a successful business doing what I love – gifting people with lightbulb moments.

I met my wife through Caitlin my trainer and we’ve just had our first child. NLP has had a massive impact on my life.

One of my most memorable moments over the course of my experience was helping one of the delegates on a practitioner course I was running. She has lost her daughter and each day carried the grief with her. We did submodality, clean language and timeline work on the course and I carry the magic moment when I saw that grief lift. Even writing this, moves me to think about the difference it made for her.

I believe NLP can have the greatest impact by enabling those who work with unresourced people – charities, local government, healthcare to spread this knowledge and empower people to help themselves and others.
