Welcome

I'd like to welcome you to my own little piece of digital real estate. I think it might be most appropriate for me to post a little about myself, so you might get to know the man behind the blog.

I am an International Trainer of Neuro Linguistic Programming, Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy and several modalities of emotional release and energy work. I have been in the field of personal growth and empowerment for about 4 years now.

Before becoming a 'hypnotist'... I had a very rewarding career in the software industry. I ended that career with BMC Software in 2004 when I decided to go full time into the business of empowering people. As a Principal Software Consultant at BMC I helped our major partners like IBM Global Services, Accenture and Deloitte Consulting win major projects with their biggest clients. In my role, I interviewed executive level staff to determine what business objectives would benefit from a technological solution. I would create the solution and propose the sale with my partner.

I was very good at what I did. It would seem I was born with a 'gift of gab'. It was easy for me to give the listener the kind of information they wanted and consequently win the project.

One day, I found myself at an event with my son where I met another dad and we had the what-do-you-do-for-a-living conversation. His name was David Fonteneau and he was a stage hypnotist (still is). I was intrigued! I had always had an interest yet I knew nothing about hypnosis so I asked how I could learn about it. David told me to check into NLP since I was in the corporate world and NLP has applications there. Well, to say the rest is history is an appropriate cliché.

I studied with intense desire and passion - learning about how powerful the unconscious mind truly is. In my classes I saw demonstrations where a lady released chronic pain she had carried for over 25 years, another person released sadness that had been 'debilitating'.

With out going into lengthy prose of my training - I was hooked. I had to learn more and to follow my heart into a new career. I left the corporate world and started Allotime. Originally focused on business training and doing some therapies, I continued my education and saw my clients get AMAZING results.

In October of 2005, the company that had trained me in NLP me asked me to come and train for them. I consider that a personal complement as their trainers, Matt and Todd, were among the best I had encountered. I spent a little over 2 years training for them and decided it was time to get back to Allotime and spread the knowledge even further.

Today, I am consulting and seeing private clients. My clients come from all over North America and they get fabulous results. You can read some testimonials at our website.

In the coming posts, I am looking forward to sharing with you some very exciting projects that I am working on with some extraordinary people. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, I'd like to thank my teachers; Todd Levinson, Matt James, Tad James, Adrianna James, Kumu Etua Lopez, Uncle George Naope, Deepak Chopra, Yvonne Oswald, Steven Lane Taylor, Joe Leeway, and others. Thank you to John Grinder and Richard Bandler and to the other pioneers in the NLP field for creating the original models. Most importantly, thank you to the many students I have taught these wonderful skills. It was my students I have learned the most from. It was my honor to be your instructor.

Now - on with the show!
