Register for our next NLP Somatic Coach Training.
Our NLP Somatic Coach Training is a self paced, highly practical learning experience that’s equal parts training, 1:1 coaching and mentorship. We’ve guided over 7,500 students from 74 nationalities.
And we’d be honored to guide you too.

Bridging the gap between mind and body
NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is widely regarded as the most powerful collection of tools and techniques for creating profound and lasting transformation. It’s used across many science-based fields of expertise, helping to understand and influence our human behavior.
The emergent field of somatic science has been shining a light on the gap between the world of thought and theory and the body
Body-based modalities are now being applied in professional settings including psychotherapy, medicine, coaching, teaching, and physical therapy because of the emerging recognition that our bodies hold so much information and contain pathways to wholeness.
As you progress through our coach training you’ll learn and apply NLP and Somatic tools and techniques and be guided through our Conscious Change Coaching Method® that supports anyone who wants to come into alignment and embody new, generative ways of being. Mastering this model will give you deep clarity of the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual dynamics of lasting transformation that other coaching models overlook.

Meet Helen Attridge
Hi, I’m Helen, a Master Certified Coach, International Trainer, Founder of the Academy of Leadership Coaching & NLP, creator of the Conscious Change Coaching Method® and the Inner Alignment Map™.
Originally from Ireland, I Ieft Belfast at 17 to work my way around the world. I know what it takes to build a business to support the lifestyle I want and have an impact in the world.
I’ve had diverse work experience over the course of my life from working in production, hospitality, management roles, my own businesses, as a holistic practitioner, to social work where I touched the lives of hundreds of at-risk youth. I’ve lived and worked in over 20 countries and with people from all walks of life.
In the personal development field, I worked for the Hoffman Institute as their Graduate Director and in-house Coach and was invited to be trained by Tony Robbins as one of his first 35 certified Master Coaches.
I’ve had the honor of working with some of the world’s most inspirational and pioneering leaders in coaching and personal transformation over the past 30 years. I’ve presented on NLP and Leadership at Stanford Graduate School of Business and at Peking University Platform in Beijing. I’ve coached and trained thousands, from fortune 500 executives to women in transition.
It’s been an incredible, fun and sometimes challenging journey. But, in the end, all you really need to know is that I genuinely believe that personal growth and positive social change are two sides of the same coin. I believe we are poised on the brink of a different kind of future and I am proud that our graduates, our trainers and people like you are leading that change.
I love what I do and that’s why I do it.

Transformation doesn’t just happen at the level of the mind. True transformation happens when you tap into the innate wisdom of the body and connect at the deepest level. Our unique blend of NLP and Somatic Coaching combined with embodiment techniques teaches how to create mind-body connection and how to move your client out of their head and into their body, where the true answers lie. NLP skills help transform how you think, learn, communicate and interact with the world while Somatic coaching techniques help your clients to access and unlock their inner wisdom and resourcefulness.
Often, the body has the answers that the logical mind can’t access. It is our job as coaches to help clients unlock the answers and the deeper truth within. Somatic coaching is based on the idea that people do not necessarily change just because they have gained intellectual knowledge. They change when they have deep personal insights and awareness, see their behaviors and beliefs and experience new ways of BEING. NLP Somatic Coaching supports you in becoming aware of how the mind affects the emotional state and the body and experience new ways of doing, thinking, and being, fostering deeper connection and inner alignment.
You can start the program with the next group intake or jump straight in and start when you want, joining the existing cohort. Live mentorship calls and Q&As are recorded and uploaded onto the online portal so you can watch these at your leisure.
