The Hart School Practitioner Training: Love + Relationship Mastery is a five-day immersive breakthrough and certification experience designed for deep, lasting transformation.
The Hart School trains women in powerful mind–body methods including Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnotherapy, Timeline Therapy®, and NLP Life Coaching. These approaches work directly with the subconscious mind – where patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors are formed – allowing participants to release limiting beliefs, rewire internal narratives, and create identity-level change.
This is more than a certification. It’s a process of coming home to yourself – building confidence, strengthening intuition, and creating greater ease and alignment in relationships, work, and life.
Participants leave with four professional certifications (NLP Practitioner, Time Line Therapy Practitioner, Hypnotherapist, and NLP Life Coach) qualifying them to use these methods with clients or in their professional work, along with practical tools to support both their own growth and the transformation of others.
Many participants join for personal growth and leave with the unexpected bonus of powerful tools to support others as coaches, facilitators, healers, or leaders in their communities. This training is ideal for women who feel called to grow, evolve, and step into their next level of self-leadership—from the inside out.
