For the therapists, coaches, energy workers, and healing practitioners working 1:1 with clients, I'm delighted to share that National NLP Trainer, Jayne Brown will be offering a LIVE and IN-PERSON training (2 DAYS) here in SLO at the end of this month. She has trained thousands of practitioners over the years in the NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) Process that can be used to support clients experiencing PTSD, Phobias, and more. 

I was referred to Jayne by a friend of mine, and the results I've been seeing in the short amount of time I've been seeing her (me as her client) have me so JAZZED and excited. I've been working with her to re-calibrate my mind-body connection and bring my immune system back into alignment (having lived with autoimmune disEASE for 10 years and having tried countless other modalities and therapies).

As an ontologically-trained coach, I see so much for myself and my business in adding these tools to my toolbox for myself, but ALSO being able to share this *magick* with my own clients. 

I have declared myself to be her new apprentice, and when she shared her vision for doing an in-person training here in SLO, I immediately jumped at the opportunity to help her fill the room. Tickets are limited and expected to sell out. You can register here: https://my805tix.com/e/nlp-training/tickets
