Caitriona and Michele are brilliant trainers and retreat leaders. I first came to Manzanita Village in 2013 for the NLP Master Practitioner training. The Master Practitioner training was a two-week intensive at Manzanita Village. My initial NLP Practitioner training was with Richard Bandler, one of the founders of NLP. Bandler is an amazing teacher and I was planning to go back to London and finish my training with him. Early in 2013, I met Catriona and Michele at a conference and decided to do the Master training with Five Changes instead of going back to London.

The training exceeded my expectations; I loved the intimacy of the smaller group setting vs a huge hotel room in London with hundreds of people. Both Catriona and Michele are exceptional trainers, facilitators, and leaders who walk their talk. The small group setting allowed for more interaction communication between the trainers and the students. Manzanita Village is a gorgeous natural, and rustic setting and simply a wonderful place to learn!

I met some amazing people and enjoyed spending time on the magical land at Manzanita Village. The vegetarian meals were delicious too!

I brought my husband with me for an end of the year retreat the following year. It was a powerful experience for both of us. Within a few months of the retreat, my husband left his full-time job and we started a business together that is thriving. We are grateful to Catriona and Michele for their influence in our lives and our business!
