A small training group in conversation during an NLP certification

Who this room is for

Coaches, speakers, and sales professionals.

People whose income and impact both depend on what happens inside a conversation. NLP gives you the structure underneath the instinct: how language shapes state, how state shapes decision, and how to hold both on purpose.

You'll practice it live, on real material, with people at your level.

What you'll learn

Six skills you leave able to run, not just describe.

Rapport and calibration

Read the state someone is actually in, and match it on purpose instead of by accident.

Language patterns

The Milton and Meta models, drilled live until they show up in ordinary conversation.

Anchoring

Install and fire a state on command, in yourself before a room and in the person across from you.

Submodalities

Change how an experience is coded internally, so the reaction to it changes with it.

Strategies and elicitation

Find the sequence running underneath a decision, then work with it instead of against it.

Time Line Therapy® release work

Clear the emotion and the limiting decision sitting underneath the pattern.

What's included

One tuition. Five things, and two of them last forever.

01

Private room at the August NLP certification

Four days of training and five nights on a private farm outside Murfreesboro, TN. Your own room, all training included.

02

Time Line Therapy® Practitioner Certification

Hosted virtually August 28–30, 2026. The final cohort of the year. Included, not an upsell.

03

Lifetime access to the private mastermind

We meet live every week. Replays of every training go out to the whole room, whether you attend live or not.

04

Firewalking ticket

One ticket, included. Firewalks run every other month at Henry Horton State Park in Chapel Hill, TN, 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Pick your date after you sign up, or transfer the ticket to someone you want in the experience.

05

Lifetime retakes of both trainings

NLP and Time Line Therapy® each run twice a year. Come back and sit the live rooms as many times as you want, forever.

The setting

A working farm, and nothing else to pull at you.

We stay together on a private farm outside Murfreesboro. No hotel corridors, no commuting in and out of the work. You eat, train, and decompress alongside the same handful of leaders for four days, which is most of why the shift holds after you leave.

Two houses sit on the same property: The Blue Barn and Casa. Take a look at both.

Before you ask

Questions, answered.

What is NLP?+

Neuro-Linguistic Programming is the study of how language, internal imagery, and physiology combine to produce a state, and how that state drives behavior and decision. Practically, it's a set of repeatable tools for building rapport fast, asking questions that surface what someone actually means, and shifting a stuck pattern in yourself or a client. It was modeled from the work of therapists who consistently got results, then structured so anyone can learn it.

What is Time Line Therapy®?+

Time Line Therapy® is a specific process for releasing the emotional charge stored around past events and the limiting decisions made in them, like "I'm not good enough" or "money is hard." Instead of talking about the problem, you work with how the memory is organized on your internal timeline, so the emotion loses its grip and the decision can be replaced. It pairs with NLP and is a separate practitioner certification, included in your tuition.

What is Firewalking?+

A guided experience where you walk barefoot across a bed of burning coals. It's a physical demonstration of what happens when you act from a chosen state instead of a fear response, and it tends to make the NLP work land in the body rather than just the head. It runs in person from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM at Henry Horton State Park in Chapel Hill, TN.

When is the firewalk and how do I claim my ticket?+

Firewalks run every other month. After you sign up you pick the date that works for you. The day runs 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM at Henry Horton State Park in Chapel Hill, TN. It's a single ticket, so you can walk it yourself or transfer it to someone else.

Are payment plans available?+

Yes. Tuition is $3,500 and I have cost-effective plans we can build for you on the onboarding call.

Do I need any prior NLP experience?+

No. The room is built to take you from zero to certified practitioner. Most people arrive with strong communication instincts and leave with a framework behind them.

What can I do with the certification?+

It's recognized by the American Board of NLP (ABNLP), so you can practice and market yourself as a certified NLP Practitioner, and immediately apply it in your coaching, speaking, or sales work.

What's the time commitment?+

Arrive no earlier than 6:00 PM CST on August 18, depart by 9:00 AM on August 23. Time Line Therapy® is three virtual days, August 28–30.

Where do I stay, and is food included?+

You get a private room in one of two houses on the same farm outside Murfreesboro, TN, five nights. We eat together on site. Bring anything specific your diet requires and tell me on the onboarding call.

How do I get there?+

Nashville International (BNA) is roughly 45 minutes from the property. Most people fly in on August 18 and drive out.
