Magic Valley NLP

I am an English Professor teaching at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in The People's Republic ofChina.  I am working wth BYU Kenned Center China Teachers.

I recently retired as special education teacher and a developmental specialist.  My primary private practice focus is with children and I have enjoyed especially empowering youth seeking new outcomes to apply to abuse and molestation.

My first interest in NLP came through efforts to find non-medical ways to treat diabetes because of liver disease caused by accidental poisoning. This led to the ability to invite the liver disease to leave, and it did.  Next allergies were invited to also leave and I am now enjoying an allergy-free life.  I then began an earnest exploration of NLP, taking the practitioner's class from NLPU in 2007, and the NLP master’s in 2008.  I completed the trainer's course in 2009 and am a Master Practioner with 700 hours of classroom work, workshop training  and additional coaching and couseling experience.

Most of my NLP work is centered in my classroom where I am happy to report that my students anchor their learning state, stay healthy, and apply NLP skills of modeling to learning.  I have created a curriculum to  teach basic NLP skills to special needs students. It is fascinating.

What We do

NLP practitioners assist you in finding the excellence that is already within you!

NLP practitioners assist you in describing and transferring models of human excellence into your own life. NLP explores the relationships between how we think (neuro), how we communicate verbally and non-verbally (linguistic) and our patterns or programs of behavior and emotion.  NLP assists in healing the past and creating a well-formed future.
