Metaphors
Live online training
Navigating the landscape of the unconscious.
Metaphors have a big, hidden influence over our lives. They affect our unconscious sense of self and place in the world. By learning Clean Language and working with the metaphors you will be able to help clients on a deeply unconscious level.
Archetypes
Live online training
Archetypes are unconscious drivers that shape our journey in this world.
There are many archetypes beyond the ones we normally think of (King, Queen etc). Perhaps you have an addict archetype, a gambler, or a visionary or an explorer like Amelia Earhart? Perhaps you’re driven by the Healer, or the Sage always seeking new wisdom. Or are you embodying the martyr or the victim?
In this module you will learn to understand how your archetypal energy is linked to your identity and life path.
Story-telling & The Hero’s Journey
Live online training
Take control of the story of you.
The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves have a huge impact on our world-view and experience of life.
In this module you will learn how to use the power of the Hero’s Journey and the idea of the seven 'universal' stories to empower your life.
You will discover your own Hero’s Journey, and how to find power and wisdom in those events that often feel confusing or painful. You’ll learn how to shift a victim mindset into an empowering approach to life.

Beautiful safe space to express ourselves
I can be quite introverted, but Nina created this beautiful space during our coaching and NLP training where we felt safe to express our thoughts and feelings freely and as such we grew together, celebrated each other and had formed deep friendships by the end of the course. I didn't want it to end!
I wasn’t sure what to expect as the coaching and NLP training was all online, but I needn’t of worried as Nina has such mastery at making every individual of the group feel seen, heard and valued.
A life-time self-improvement toolkit
I was intrigued by Nina’s boutique-type training offering, as I would polish my Coaching skills, I was using as an executive and as a consultant, in the business world. At a time where there was plenty of uncertainty (Covid) and I felt overwhelmed, I got: A lifetime self-improvement toolkit, an upgraded mindset, some significant shadow work integration (ongoing), purposeful steps in work related evolution and life itself.
The Diploma in Coaching and NLP Master course is brilliantly designed. Nina connects the dots as you learn & practice in tandem. In the process you add a definite layer of experiential sophistication from a skilful field Teacher.

Would highly recommend Nina.
