Metaphors
Live online training
Navigating the landscape of the unconscious.
Metaphors have a big, hidden influence over our lives and we tend not to be aware of how they affect our unconscious mental blueprints and identity structures.
Human thought process is largely metaphorical and in this module you'll learn how to identify the metaphors that impact your life and identity.
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 innate archetypal energy is linked to your identity and life path.
Somatic & Trauma-Informed Coaching Practice
Live online training
Trauma-informed and somatic coaching at the level of identity.
As an EMDR therapist I understand the impact that trauma has on the nervous system and on our identity.
Safe and effective coaching has to be trauma-informed. It requires an understanding of how trauma impacts the nervous system, the brain, and our identity.
By integrating trauma-informed, somatic coaching you learn to coach the whole person safely with awareness of the neuroscience behind obstacles to change.
Somatic, Trauma-Informed & IFS-Informed
Story-telling & The Hero’s Journey
Live online training
Take control of the story of you. Launch your next adventure.
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.
The Hero’s journey was developed by Dr Joseph Campbell in the 1950s. The theory is that all great stories have a similar narrative structure.
You will discover your own Hero’s Journey, and how to find power and wisdom in those events of your life that often feel confusing or painful. You’ll also learn how to shift a victim mindset into an empowering approach to life and challenges.
ICF Mentor Coaching

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.

Totally loved how she delivered the coaching and NLP course, her way of teaching through all her own knowledge and experiences, interactive learning, fun, and how she managed to bring a group of amazing people together, create a safe space for sharing, learning and supporting and empowering each and everyone of us to grow and flourish and become incredible coaches ourselves. Would highly recommend Nina.
