Matthew James

Matthew B. James, MA, PhD is one of the most highly-sought after trainers and educators in the world today. He is the president of The Empowerment Partnership, the leader in Neuro Linguistic Programming and Hypnosis education.

Matthew is a living example of the power of The Empower Your Life teachings. Matt began his studies at an early age by learning teachings such as meditation and siddha yoga. As a young boy he studied with great teachers such as Baba Muktanada and Uncle George Naope (one of the most highly respected authorities on Hawaiian hula and chants, and has even been honored with the “Living Golden Treasure” designation). In the 80s, he studied with Tony Robbins and was invited by Richard Bandler, the legendary co-founder of NLP, and Wyatt Woodsmall, also a pioneer in the NLP field to continue his education. Matt was chosen as one of Bandler’s select-few students, eventually becoming certified as an NLP Master Trainer (a level it takes most years to achieve, if at all.)

Having been there in the early years when NLP was just getting off the ground, Matt was well prepared for his future. Now, decades later, he has more than proven himself in his own right as a teacher and educator. He is renowned for his insight and his intuitive gifts for awakening the hearts and minds of his students. His unique upbringing has enabled him to take the best of the best in NLP, Huna, Hypnosis and Time Empowerment Techniques and develop a proven system of effective, instantaneous, long lasting change.

Through his role as President/Chief Academic Officer of Kona University (DETC Accredited for Online Education in Transpersonal Psychology and a certificate in NLP) and President and Master Trainer of its training and seminar division, The Empowerment Partnership (formerly Advanced Neuro Dynamics), Matthew is personally responsible for bringing thousands of students closer to fulfilling their dreams. Each year he teaches the life-altering techniques of Hypnosis, NLP, Time Empowerment(r) and the ancient Shamanistic Hawaiian spiritual system of Huna throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia.

Matthew is certainly making his life a living demonstration of the extraordinary power of this wisdom. Along the way, he has picked up several university degrees, including an MA in Organizational Management and a DCH in Clinical Hypnotherapy. He’s also completed his PhD in Health Psychology.

Matthew continues to be a student of the ancient Hawaiian ways studying with Unlce George Naope and his top student Etua Lopes. They have made Matthew responsible for the Hawaiian lineage they teach and give Matt their support in sharing these teachings students all over the world.
