Connie’s Story: An incredible story of transformation with Hypnosis and NLP
I “discovered” hypnosis and NLP quite by accident at the State Fair a few years back. We were wandering around the fair eating onion burgers and scones and Michael saw an announcement for a stage hypnotist performance. It was a free entertainment, so we plopped ourselves down to enjoy it. The show was hilarious, featured hypnotized subjects singing and dancing, hallucinating bugs and chairs with teeth, speaking foreign languages like “Martian,” x-ray “nudie” glasses, men having babies onstage, all manner of crazy antics. I was intrigued but yet thought, what IS this? I can’t believe this. What is happening here?
After the show, I went up to the hypnotist and spoke to him. He was also selling some audio CD products, a blend of hypnosis and NLP language patterns to effect personal change. I bought the weight loss CD. I began listening to it. And…lo and behold, I immediately started taking better care of myself and eating right and exercising, and I lost 75 pounds!!! Doing what I wanted to do. Not a struggle! I had shifted something inside. In a good way!
I thought to myself: “There’s something going on here. Something powerful. Something real! Something I need to know more about!” Something about these techniques and language patterns had helped me achieve a goal I’d been wanting in my life for a long, long time. I NEEDED to learn more!
Thus began my research into NLP and hypnosis. I read books and articles and scientific studies, I joined online forums frequented by Professional NLP trainers, I asked questions, and day by day I was getting more and more excited.
All the possibilities: personal enrichment and transformation, a new career doing something valuable, something that matters, helping people, changing the world one mind at a time. My new friends encouraged me to take a live training as I really wanted to learn more and experience more of the power of NLP for myself. I was initially hesitant to sign up, but then decided to GO FOR IT! So I did! I signed up for NLP training. That was the best decision of my life!!! (Well, apart perhaps from choosing Michael, whom I’ve been married to now for 25-some years!)
NLP changed the course of my life! I soon realized that this work was more powerful and more important than anything I’d ever learned or done. I got my training and certifications. I quit my dead-end job. I began my own exciting business as a Licensed Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming ™ and hypnotist, the business of improving lives.
I opened an office in Bellevue, Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP , and began changing lives-one at a time. For the better! Using these tools for helping people let go of fears and anxieties, let go of unwanted habits like smoking and stuttering and fingernail biting, adopting better strategies for living, weight control, pain management, sleeping better. More and more and more cool things, helping people through NLP and hypnosis.
Enhancing people’s sports games, increasing memory, increasing confidence and self esteem, increasing motivation, helping people let go of limiting beliefs and find the unconscious solutions to life’s dilemmas which they already have inside themselves. And you know what, I was having more fun than I’d ever dreamed possible. Am having. Current tense. I LOVE THIS WORK!! It’s amazing. It’s my passion, it’s my life!
Also exciting, Michael shares my passion. We’re moving forward together. As it turns out, his interest in all this precedes mine, he was hypnotizing his little schoolmates at age 13! But that’s Michael’s story, which he will share himself.
With more and more trainings under the belt, more and more experience in my office playing with these tools, I made another leap. This is something we can teach! We can touch more minds than just one at a time. Michael and I joined Richard Bandler (NLP’s originator) in Orlando, Florida for the ultimate trainer’s training. We earned the King’s seal of approval, that we had mastered this methodology to the point that he was comfortable licensing us to teach it. We are Licensed Trainers of Neuro-Linguistic Programming ™. And so, thus began Mindworks NLP-our Seattle based licensed vocational school to share the magic of NLP with the world.
I’m happier than I ever imagined now that I share these tools every day. Day by day, my life is becoming more rich and rewarding. You can join me in this wonderful adventure. Do!
Warm Regards, Connie
