A dynamic and respected teacher, Christina is known for her integrity, caring nature, and extensive knowledge of NLP. She excels in modeling and teaching NLP while infusing the learning environment with a sense of discovery and fun, opening new vistas of experience for her students.
With over 35 years of experience in NLP, Christina began her training during the pioneering days with the NLP Co-Developers in 1977. She became a Certified NLP Trainer in 1980, achieved Master Trainer certification in 1985, and was awarded the title of Meta-Master Trainer by Richard Bandler in 1991. Her decade-long collaboration with Bandler has endowed her teachings with a unique and insightful perspective.
Christina is renowned for her systems-oriented and holistic approach, particularly in her work with the structures of time and innovations in language patterning, which she refers to as “Neuro-Systemic Linguistics.” Her collaboration with Bandler led to significant developments in the 1980s, including sub-modalities, the Swish Pattern, the Compulsion Blow-out, temporal language patterns, verbal swishes, and many Sleight of Mouth Patterns.
She has taught NLP across the globe, including in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Croatia, Hungary, Australia, and Japan. Christina is especially proud of her role in a four-person team that developed and implemented the “Comprehensive Trauma Therapy Intervention” in Croatia, a humanitarian project for war victims, supported by the German and Croatian governments.
Recognized by the ANLP (Association for Neuro-Linguistic Programming, United Kingdom) as an accepted trainer of NLP Trainers and Master Trainers, Christina is one of only 12 individuals to have been honored with an Inaugural Honorary Lifetime Fellowship from the ANLP for her contributions to the field.
Christina’s first book, *Change Your Language — Change Your Life*, was published in the summer of 2008 by Voice Inc., her sponsor in Japan, and is currently available only in Japanese.
Since 1983, Christina has been a key figure in the NLP community as the owner of the original NLP certifying organization established by Bandler & Grinder—the Society of Neuro-Linguistic Programming—and she serves as its President. She is also the Director of The NLP Connection, established in 1983. Additionally, Christina is a licensed psychotherapist and certified hypnotherapist in California, holding a Doctorate in Psychology and Neuro-Semantic Linguistics.
