Testimonials

  • Yayoi Lewis, Feldenkrais Practitioner

    “Karilee's class was well organized, clearly explained, and so substantial. It didn't feel rushed or too full, but it was action-packed. I also enjoyed connecting with the other participants and seeing them through this new lens of business-builder.

    I now have more clients and more students in my classes. I have more space and structure in my business, and my energy is lighter. I feel that my business can support itself so that I don’t have to worry.”

  • Lena Gorham

    “Even coming from no experience with business building, it was a great first step for me, a great way to get great information and inspiration.

    The ways that we worked with business planning, organization, financial projection, and CEO stance, the material was directly applicable at any stage of business.

    It also draws so many frames and tools from the Transformational NLP toolbox. I especially appreciated working with the ecology that prevents business growth from coming easily.

    Karilee's experience in this work really comes through the class. The tools are easy to implement. You just have to do it. Karilee's expertise and the collective wisdom of the group help as well.”

What is
Transformational NLP?

 

Transformational NLP is a unique modality of healing and change that is only offered at one place in the world, NLP Marin.

Transformational NLP asks, “what distinguishes someone who is getting adequate results in their particular field from someone getting truly extraordinary results in that same field? What is the difference that makes the difference?” Transformational NLP is that difference.

Most paths to success encourage you to "power through" and in so doing to turn against yourself. We know that only by aligning with yourself will your successes hold any real meaning.

While most therapeutic modalities focus on, “what's wrong with you?” we instead begin with, “what is no longer useful?”

In an attempt to help us change, many healing perspectives ask “why” an experience happened. While useful to a degree, Transformational NLP also asks “how” an experience happened, which gives us a blueprint for how it was created in our minds and bodies and thus how we can help it to transform.

While many change methods help you "overcome fear" or "choose love instead of fear," we base our work on a deep understanding of the way the human brain works and the vital place that fear has in your ultimate well-being and ability to love wholeheartedly.
