About NLP & NLP Training
What does NLP stand for?
NLP stands for Neuro (meaning of the mind and central nervous system), Linguistic (words & meaning), Programming (how we process things to get results). So NLP is about how we experience and make sense of events/the world, and the strategies we can use to do that better. NLP is outcome focused and equips you with mindset, communication & relationship building skills you can use to be more successful, clear and confident in attaining your goals.
Who is NLP for?
NLP is useful for anyone who needs to connect with, influence or lead others. If you’re looking for professional development with a bit of a kick and pizzaz, something innovative & empowering, read on!
It is ideal for anyone in a management, coaching or healing oriented role; from teachers to parents, client managers/sales people, trainers to counsellors, business owners to HR professionals and life coaches or consultants.
It also provides the opportunity for empowering self-growth and development, offering the chance to learn how to work through trauma, address limiting beliefs, unpack and release negative emotions & triggers, build confidence in oneself and enjoy the resourcefulness we all have, but often can’t access.
People do this training for different reasons – both personal & professional, and participants tend to find that the change you create will filter across all aspects of your life, creating ripple effects and wins for you and for those around you too.
How can NLP help me in my mahi/job?
Whether you’re seeking tools to resolve conflict, build stronger relationships, achieve personal goals, reprogram unwanted triggers/stressors, or boost workplace wellbeing, you’ll discover empowering, evidence-backed, innovative & outside-the-box tools, ideas and techniques in our NLP-based training programs designed specifically to help you succeed.
The many & varied skills, tools and concepts you’ll master are well-tested, efficient and empowering; and it is NOT just more of the same old stuff you’ve heard before that doesn’t work. Expect to feel engaged and inspired by the change you create within you, and by your ability to help others change too. Our clients consistently talk of the positive ripple effects to those them from this training too.
Are your NLP Programs internationally recognised/accredited?
Yes, unlike many other NLP programs you can get online or elsewhere, our NLP Practitioner & Master Practitioner programs are accredited with the IANLP, and Jaki is an IANLP accredited trainer, so your training experience & certification, meets the highest possible standards & will be recognised around the world.
How am I meant to find that much time off work?
Most Practitioner trainings are 18 days long, and generally run online in two long blocks of 9-10 days, with just a few days in between. Its an intensive approach and it gives you little time to practice what you’re learning, and it can be hard to have that much time away. Instead, we run our programs in shorter blocks each month, so you can practice and apply as you learn. We also run each monthly block over a weekend reducing the time away from work. Dates for both Practitioner and Master Practitioner programs are already available so you can start planning early.
Do you offer payment plans if needed?
Yes, we offer interest-free payment plans and we can agree a suitable payment schedule to make this doable for you. Contact us today to find out more. Follow us on FB or join our newsletter to be in the loop on upcoming trainings including early bird specials too.
Is there any sort of funding available for your NLP Practitioner training?
Yes, our NLP Practitioner training (certification) is eligible for 50% funding for those businesses who meet the MBIE scheme criteria. Contact us today to see if this might apply for you.
It seems like a significant investment in time and money, how can I know its worth it?
Of course, the way you’ll ultimately know is once you’ve done the training and you are enjoying the benefits which affect not only in your professional life, but you personally/at home too. See our wall of love for past client’s testimonials.
We’re so confident you’ll love the NLP Practitioner Training, that we offer a money-back satisfaction guarantee*. Contact us to find out details and we can answer any other questions or concerns you may have at the same time too!
Past clients have consistently told us that while they initially were concerned about that much time off and away from their whanau, they universally had resolved that by the end of the program! And not only that, but that their partners got on board by the end too because they could see the change in the participant.

Book in a scoping call and let’s talk about the results or change you want to see, because creating change is what we are all about!
I've heard you offer team wellbeing solutions; what does that involve?
We do. These solutions are tailored around your organisation’s unique needs and goals. The process starts with a scoping meeting that you can book here. From that hui we develop a full proposal that outlines a way forward with options which may include: Policy or HR process development to create a best-practice approach to building a positive team environment, bespoke staff training, leadership & communication sessions, coaching with key staff and professional supervision or onsite EAP style sessions.
Do you offer EAP services?
My Masters thesis was on the efficacy of EAP services so this is something I’ve been passionate about for a long time. We know that EAP services can be expensive and staff may resist using them due to stigma. As such, we offer two approaches to avoid these problems.
1) We offer an onsite ‘coaching & check-in’ style EAP support, where I come by your offices each week for 2-8 hours per week at a set time (how long I’m onsite is agreed based on the number of staff and any other HR or development initiatives I can be usefully assisting you with). Staff can talk to me about anything thats on their mind, drop in for a refresher on communication or leadership related matters, or more trauma/crises related issues. Staff can also be scheduled to see me on a quarterly basis or the like and because I’m there onsite regularly and because of the broad nature of issues/skills I help people with, stigma is avoided and the EAP gets used, so everyone wins.
2) I also offer Professional Supervision that can be extended to multiple sessions if a staff member requires it, using a standard EAP reporting/confidentiality approach.
