Transformational change-work · Boulder, Colorado
Mark Andreas helps people shift the emotional reactions, limiting beliefs and habitual responses that run beneath conscious thought. Substantial, humane, evidence-backed change-work—often visible in one to three sessions.
The work
Most approaches to change try to reason with a pattern—to talk, analyse, or push against it. Mark works somewhere quieter and deeper: with the automatic experience itself, the layer beneath words where reactions actually live. Rather than managing a feeling or behaviour, his methods follow it gently down to the positive intention underneath, until the pattern reorganises on its own. The result is not another insight to remember, but a felt shift—the kind that holds.
What Mark trains
Developed by Connirae Andreas
A gentle, deep process that takes an unwanted feeling or behaviour down through its positive purposes to a “Core State”—wholeness, peace, being, love. Mark co-designed the Core Transformation Coach Certification.
◆ A practice Mark especially loves.
Developed by Andrew T. Austin
Works with the body’s spatial and movement metaphors in language—“stuck,” “weighed down,” “boxed in”—and literally moves them to shift the pattern. Mark was present at its earliest presentations (Colorado, 2009) and has trained with Austin almost every year since.
◆ A practice Mark especially loves.
Developed by Connirae Andreas · a.k.a. Coming to Wholeness
A subtle process working with the sense of self—“the I”—to dissolve reactive patterns at a deep level. Mark’s work also draws on classical NLP processes and Self-Concept work.
The path
Mark Andreas came to this work the long way around. An undergraduate degree in Peace & Global Studies from Earlham College gave him a grounding in conflict and human connection. As a counselor and trip-leader at the Monarch Center for Family Healing, he led groups of at-risk teens on three-week wilderness backpacking expeditions—individual therapy and group process, round the clock.
He learned Core Transformation, the Wholeness Work, Self-Concept work and other change tools directly from the family who invented them: his parents, Steve and Connirae Andreas, pioneers of the NLP field. Today he co-sponsors Andreas NLP Trainings with his mother Connirae and co-designed the Core Transformation Coach Certification.
The lineage is real—but Mark stands on his own. Seventeen years and more than a thousand clients in, he works at the growing edge of the field as a trainer and teacher in his own right, from his home in Boulder, Colorado.
