What is NLP?

NLP is a very practical approach to human behavior. Initially created in the 1970's by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, NLP is a methodology for modeling excellence. It's primary focus is on how to operate your own mind and body to create what you want in life.

The discoveries made from the methodology of NLP have led to techniques that are used in business, education, and health, as well as therapy (and we've had participants attend our trainings from all of these various fields). It is often said that NLP has made the greatest contribution to the behavioral sciences in the last 30 years.

Throughout this training you will uncover and work with the processes that precede behavior. You will learn the very fabric of thought and action. And you will learn a set of skills that can be the foundation for all the goals in your life.

Before the development of NLP, we had explanations as to why we act in certain ways. Since NLP, we have the understanding of how we act in those ways.

Become a Certified NLP Practitioner and become your very best!

Hypnosis and Grief Recovery - Certification Course
2024-04-21 at 11:40 Pacific Time

This course is so rich and important for the work we will do. Incredibly important knowledge because it is certain that everyone will undergo stages of loss (or become stuck within them) at some point. We may see this in ourselves, our own networks, and in our clients as well. So glad that I took this course live as well. Can never say enough good things about Elaine as an instructor. The workbook is pure gold too, so organized and thorough, Thank you Elaine, HMI, and AHA!
B.K. from Rancho Santa Fe, California

Hypnosis and Weight Loss - Certification Course
2024-04-15 at 22:49 Pacific Time

Susie kept me very engaged all throughout the 2 day course. She gave a lot of handouts and examples that will be very useful in the future. She was very thorough with all of the information and I liked how she would screen share the workbook so that we can all follow along and successfully go through all of it. I think that there should be more instructors like her with those teaching techniques, it was by far my favorite type of learning with a lot of positivity and answered all of questions with great detail. This was my favorite class and now I feel confident to start taking in weight loss clients.
J.B. from Norwalk, California


Hypnosis and Weight Loss - Certification Course
2024-04-15 at 16:21 Pacific Time

Outstanding course! I appreciate the instructor's (Susie's) comprehensive, clear, and concise materials and lecture. I highly recommend this course to those who wish to specialize in weight loss hypnosis/individuals who have struggled with weight loss/weight management.
B.C. from Hawthorne, California


Hypnosis and Weight Loss - Certification Course
2024-04-15 at 14:09 Pacific Time

I really enjoyed the lesson, especially the way Susie explains every detail. Personally I have been working with weight loss clients using the information given at the regular weight loss classes. I feel that with this seminar I will have more tools to offer my clients. Thank you.

I loved this weekend course. Susie Kappas is so inspiring, and really has so much insight and helpful guidance and provides so much in the "how, why's, and wherefore's" of helping clients change their lifestyle in relation to food/weight. I have so many gold nuggets after watching the video's and attending the live class and have implemented many of these methods in my own life as well.
E.H. from Rockingham, Virginia

V.C. from Shippensburg, Pennsylvania


Hypnosis and Weight Loss - Certification Course
2024-04-14 at 19:05 Pacific Time

This course was fantastic and more than just weight loss. I knew everyone was going to spend a lot of time both seeking and giving advice on food and health, but that`s okay. This course can really be applied to so many things because it aims at habit replacement, creating well-formed outcomings, and helping the client to envision their ideal self using so many different modalities. It will be something I refer back to time and time again.
J.L. from Mobile, Alabama

Cheryl spreads metaphysical magic in, around, and through each and all of us. She again showed that deep learning and change can be fun. Please consider the possibility of creating an album of Cheryl reading her journeys while she updates her book. One day, it will be as popular as Dr. Kappas' vintage and Atlanta Series are now.
