Text Box: Dear Ron November 8, 2009 I happened upon your website, and thought I would just send warm greetings. I was on the training you did in Scarborough in England in 1989, which was my very first training in hypnotherapy. Now, rather a lot of years later, I have been for some years a full time therapist with a busy very full time private practice, an NLP Master Practitioner, and an Accredited NLP Psychotherapist, a Fellow of the Hypnotherapy Society, and a Fellow of the Hypnotherapy Research Society. I have trained with many of the 'stars', including Richard Bandler, John Grinder and others in the NLP world, and with Michael Yapko, and with Brent Geary, from the Ericksonian Institute. Without doubt, yours was easily the most powerful training I have ever attended, and many years later I was still unpacking' the very profound material that was presented. While many other world famous trainers have given me valuable skills and understanding, the skills learned on your course have continued to be the mainstay of my practice, and as I am working with clients I am often aware of skills - and even phrases - I modeled from you, as I use them. The sheer quality of that training was awesome, and I am quite sure is a major part of the reason why I am constantly in demand -despite the fact that I am probably the most expensive among the very many therapists in this part of the country, I am actually turning enquirers away at times, because there are not enough hours in the day to see them all. This is just to say many thanks for remarkable multi-level training, and for skills that have enabled me to move from being a full time social worker to a far more satisfying profession - and incidentally earning considerably more as a result! If you were a little closer, I would certainly want to attend another of your trainings - as it is, the USA is a little distant, as I am never really able to be away from the practice for longer than a week. If you have any plans to train again in Europe, do please let me know! David Carpenter. West Midlands, UK Text Box: I received my training and certifications from the American Hypnosis Training Academy, . I contacted the National Board of Certified Counselors and found out that there were only two trainers teaching hypnotherapy in the United States that the NBCC accepted for continuing education credits and one of the trainers was Ron Klein. The training I received at AHTA has changed my life personally and professionally. Suzanne Messina, LMHC, CGC

Ron,  you are one of the best trainers in hypnosis and NLP.  You have  an   incredibly astute mind.
