Joanne Vermeulen, CHT, graduated from KONA University where she earned her Master Practitioner in Neuro Linguistic Programming, Hypnosis, and Time Empowerment®. Wanting to continue in this field and take her learnings to a higher level, she became a Trainer of Hypnotherapy, and Neuro Linguistic Programming at the Practitioner Level.
She also holds an Honors Accreditation in Accounting & Computers, and has been in sales and management for over 15 years. Her experience in the finance and credit industry is invaluable as she has assisted thousands of clients and sales staff to attain their goals. She decided to pursue her training in alte ative psychology to assist others in overcoming ALL of their barriers, and not just in business.
Joanne had the privilege of being trained and certified by Dr. Matthew B. James, one of the most sought after Masters in the industry providing seminars in North America, Asia, and Europe. Dr. James was trained by John Grinder and Richard Bandler (one of the originators of Neuro Linguistic Programming) when he was just 13, and has actively continued his education ever since. He has a Ph.D in Health (Integrative) Psychology, and has been chosen to carry on a lineage of Huna, the ancient Hawaiian science of consciousness and energy healing. His new book, The Foundation of Huna: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times, details forgiveness and meditation techniques used in Hawaii for hundreds of years.
“There are many paths to personal transformation. Huna says, 'A Ohe Pau Ko Ike I Kou Halau'...think not that all wisdom is in your school. The important thing is that you choose a path and truly immerse yourself in it.”
~Dr. Matthew B. James

An NLP Scramble to Bring Back Your Dreams
How do you find your way back to YOUR DREAMS once you believe you’ve lost your potential to achieve them? How is it that you misplaced them to begin with? Are you at cause or effect? Did someone cause you to effectively lose faith in your ability to go after your dreams? Is that really true? Did you digress to childhood memories where feelings of inadequacy are resurfacing? Is it that you think you are undeserving of success so you repeat a familiar history of self sabotage?

Carlos Ramon - Observations From the Motorcycle Procession.
I received a text from a fellow motorcycle rider friend of mine, Joe, on Tuesday December 7th, 2010. Sadly, the message read a kid named Carlos with a GSXR 600 just died from running a stop sign at 17th and Hackberry in McAllen, Texas. Kid? Oh no! It is always awful when one of your fellow riders goes down and gets hurt, a tragedy when they die. When I read the words ‘kid’, my heart bled even more. The poor relatives and friends that have to survive through the insurmountable pain of losing a son, brother, nephew, or friend, well, I can’t even put into words.r

Glenn Beck, an NLP Reframe, an NLP Presupposition, Christmas, and me.
It was 1 a.m. on December 14, 2010, I am watching TV in bed trying to decide whether to stay awake and watch Glenn Beck, or go to sleep. Imagine my surprise when his show began with him being challenged trying to open a carton of creamer for home made hot cocoa. Now I am intrigued!r

A Father’s NLP Reframe
Reframes are an incredible anomaly. A positive one can lift you up when you are down, help you look at a situation from a different perspective, make you realize you do have potential when you thought you didn’t, or encourage you to do something you thought was not attainable. It changes your thought process into one of enhanced possibility instead of fear, anxiety, self-doubt, or hopelessness.

An NLP Fire Anchor For Attaining My Goals
I cannot imagine now not having the fire walk experience as a chapter in my book of life. This was such an achievement to have taken it off my 'to do' list and put on the 'accomplishment' list. Actually, it is on the 'to do again' list. The intense self amazement I felt knowing that Me, Myself, and I together, controlled our body to not burn, has become an incredible anchor. It is one I retrieve whenever I need a boost in visualizing a successful outcome as I transform an ambitious dream, into an attainable goal.r

NLP Communication Patterns, Relationships, and Their Tipping Point
A few years ago, I read a fascinating book called The Tipping Point, written by Malcolm Gladwell. The premise of this novel is how certain products or service immediately become an extreme, ove ight success and identifying when that magic moment happened. How the success of Rubik’s Cube, or a children’s TV show like Sesame Street, was not a coincidence; they were a strategically engineered plot to become that big. A more recent example of this phenomena (not in the paperback) would be Facebook. Remember when having a Facebook account was a privilege by invitation only?

An NLP Decision Destroyer Technique and an Elephant in Thailand
In May 2008, I went on a vacation to Thailand with my dear friend. We traveled there without a plan, a hotel room, or any converted dollars to baht. Just a commitment to have an incredible time, and return home with as many unique experiences as possible. By the end of our visit, we accomplished that goal, and more.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Joanne Vermeulen
"I will be the one to start the next 'Blue House Effect'." ~Joanne Vermeulen
Belief in One's 'Self' can be lost some days, months, or even years. This is the result of a negative pattern or strategy that began as a child and has not been updated. Whose voice is directing your thought process? It is yours? Is your voice with another's tone? Are you being kind to yourself or a ridiculing echo from childhood siblings, parents, friends, or teachers?
Neuro Linguistic Programming and Hypnosis guides you to the root cause of when you began that sabotaging behavior, and pops it as you are reframed into understanding how it is not you. You are meant to be kind to yourself. When will now be a good time to begin this jou ey?
