Testimonials & Thank You Letters
“Nina, your words are the harvest of a lifetime of planting, nurturing and mindfulness. Warmest thanks and all blessings to you too.”
Mary D. B. Melbourne
This morning I sit here and I am overwhelmed with gratitude, a little teary eyed and feeling wonderfully blessed. After our conversation while walking along the beach the other day I feel a renewed sense of congruence, as though I have the skills and the ability to claim back my power in a way that is compassionate and understanding toward others. I reviewed what you had suggested when I got home and again the following morning to be sure I would recall it easily and I’m looking forward to putting my ‘new’ skills into practice this week.
I also love the “hats” idea – especially when it comes to discussing finances with a specific person. In the past I have felt like a child whereas reframing to “financial advisor” and “student” feels far more OK to me.
Thank you Nina for all your wisdom, kindness, generosity and guidance.

NLP has changed my life immensely as I now have options in the areas of my life I never thought I had and to me this is very important.
Ann P. Business Owner, Melbourne
Your NLP Course Exceptional People Communication Skills has given me new teaching tools, especially in the main areas of classroom management and motivating the children. Also in managing my time, as a precious resource.
J.Z. Primary School Teacher, Perth
Could I have put together such an album on my own? Probably yes. But having a facilitator there with me was instrumental in overcoming the times when I might have given up, and when my motivation seemed to flag. Also being in a group we learned so much about each other and about ourselves. A revelation at times of memories forgotten. Thank you”
Nina is obviously a very experienced practitioner who has matured the methods she uses and confidently chooses the most appropriate ones depending on the context. Her approach stimulates and promotes clarity by asking appropriate questions. I was always very positively surprised by Nina’s presence during each session: by this I mean that Nina responds to what arises in the session appropriately and promptly with a rich range of different exercises that deal effectively with the issue there and than. I found the exercises very powerful both in shifting old patterns in accepting change, and in creating new behaviours. I have now many strategies that I use in my everyday life, strategies which enable me to access my resources and deal more effectively and less stressfully with challenging situations. As a result I am a better communicator, more able to enjoy my work and more competent in dealing with the changes brought into my work environment.

It means that I tell my conscious mind the way I want to feel and not the other way around (the way it used to be) ‘I’m driving the bus’. I now set goals more often and as often as I set them I also convincingly and successfully complete them. I have also witnessed change in another person in the work environment as a consequence of my changing my behaviour and my thinking: this was very powerful and resulted in the development of much better communication with staff and clients.
Changing your language CAN change your life…
I am aware of being able to be more in cause than effect. Less depression, more able to get myself more into state of equanimity and going with flow.
In a situation of particular distress at work when major changes were happening in my work environment and dysfunctional dynamics were affecting me negatively, Nina helped me to clarify my role and the boundaries of my responsibilities, with very effective exercises, delivered over one hour weekly phone sessions. I found this very impressive.

I am more aware of what I want in my relationships. Thank you Nina for all your help and support.
I am now a better communicator, more able to enjoy my work and more competent in dealing with all situations, both domestic and in the work environment.
Given the geographical distance my work with Nina has been done mainly over the phone. I have found Nina’s sessions very well timed and always relevant to the issue at hand. Nina’s approach is warm and personalized and her interventions helped me to increase my self confidence as well as my professional confidence.

NLP has invigorated my interest in my work, especially after doing your course Metaphor for Lasting Change. I am now using some of the techniques successfully and more consciously than before. I am more aware of the importance of my own and others’ values in choices made and I feel more able to ‘go with the flow’ More able to ‘experience’ rather than be questioning about what is ‘right’
Nina, I am also very grateful for the one to one sessions that we have had and I feel a tremendous change. It is more amazing seeing the dramatic difference in the home.
Karen M. Psychologist Perth
I just wanted to say thank you for everything that you have done over the past 12 months. As I said I am feeling a little scared, however, I think back to how it was for me when we first started working together and know that I am more than ready to take this exciting challenge on. You were sent to me with a gracious heart and I know that with your support I have so much to achieve.
Happy new year to you
More aware of the importance of my own and others’ values in choices made
More able to ‘go with the flow’
Sometimes I use more imagery than before.
Spirituality
More able to ‘experience’ rather than be questioning about what is ‘right’
I am more accepting of life and other states. Better rapport with others generally, and much more assertive.
Good outcome with difficult neighbours recently. A little more persistent in creating rapport and going for outcomes that are suitable for me (and others) rather than staying in ‘whinge’ mode.
Dear Nina, thank you so much for your time, insights, and information which bring clarity and true meaning to my life.
