Welcome!
Nikki Emerton and Laura Shipp are passionate about teaching people to become brilliant therapists and coaches.
Nikki Emerton and Laura Shipp's journeys began at a similar time and from a similar starting point, both qualifying in NLP, hypnotherapy and coaching at the same training institute. Nikki was Laura's examiner for her practical exam.
Laura then moved into the somatic work of Systematic Kinesiology® and naturopathic nutrition. Nikki continued to specialise in the mind-body connection and mindset, and more recently moving into training.
One thing both Nikki and Laura found was the need for both the major brains in the body (mind-brain and gut-brain) to be aligned as well as considering the entire energetic body and individual in order to achieve the health and happiness their clients yearned for.
Combining our knowledge, we now offer training in mind, body and gut to prospective therapists and coaches so that they can help their clients achieve powerful, transformation and long-lasting positive changes in their health and life.
Hi, I’m Nikki
Nikki has a background in senior administration, processes and procedures which has given her a sound basis for providing training. Having re-trained in 2016 to become a therapist, Nikki has, from the outset, run training courses for positive and effective communication to large organisations which include the NHS and The Trussell Trust.
Having recently gained her Level 7 Diploma in Train the Trainer, integrating over 35 years of experience in the corporate world with 7 years of running her own therapy business, Nikki now offers a unique version of NLP, Hypnotherapy and Diploma certification.
Combining the science behind human behaviour with positive solution focused therapy whilst also integrating somatic alignment, this diploma offers a bridge between the more traditional psychotherapy and somatic understanding.
Nikki is qualified as a Master Train the Trainer (MTTT), Master Neuro-linguistic Practitioner (MNLP), Clinical Hypnotherapist (CDipHyp), Integral Eye- Movement Practitioner (IEMT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT), and integrates Psychometric testing, Metaphysical Anatomy ® as well as specialising in recovery from the effects of Narcissistic relationships.
Today’s training was an excellent, informative day which has taught me some real practical tools!
Nikki struck a really good balance between informality and conveying information.

Hi, I'm Laura
Laura is MCIPD qualified and comes from a learning, talent and leadership development background. She is an accredited psychometric test user (OPQ, Hogan, MBTI, NEO-PI-3 and Strengthscope). She is also a qualified mediator and ICF trained coach.
Laura provides her clients with a holistic approach to health and wellbeing by integrating naturopathic nutrition, the Gut & Psychology Syndrome (GAPS™) nutritional protocol, SIBO Doctor plan, Systematic Kinesiology®, Metaphysical Anatomy (MAT®), hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT).
Laura previously taught level 1 MAT and now teaches Soma-Psych Alignment - a new trauma based modality she co-created.
Soma-Psych Alignment® (SPA for short)
is a new trauma-based modality developed by Laura Shipp and Krystyna Lawson-Iles. Laura and Krystyna found by combining several of their existing modalities they effectively supported clients in releasing trauma for good.
Many people understandably do not want to discuss previous trauma as it can often be triggering further inhibiting its release. SPA very much works on the principle that you do not need to verbally share or relive the trauma - you can simply allow your physical body to communicate for you. By releasing old trauma you leave unhelpful memories and experiences behind that are stopping you from moving forward and living the life you deserve.
Would you like to be a SPA practitioner or SPA therapist?
Our three day SPA technique training is open to existing practitioners of most modalities.
During the three days we will teach you both mind, body and heart techniques including how to read the emotional and physical body. Then how to release anything that is no longer serving your future clients.
