The work
A note on 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
Three methods of deep change
Mark trains and practices in three deep, well-tested approaches. Each works with automatic experience in its own way—together they cover an enormous range of human change.
-
i
Core Transformation
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.
-
ii
Metaphors of Movement
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.

iii
The Wholeness Work
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.
03
How I work
Not more talk—a change in the pattern itself
Most of what holds us back isn’t a lack of insight. We already understand the problem; it just keeps happening anyway. That’s because these patterns live below conscious choice—in automatic emotional and bodily responses.
Mark’s work goes to that level directly. Using gentle, structured processes, the pattern transforms at its root, so the old reaction simply stops showing up—and something more whole takes its place.
- Shifts automatic patterns, not just understanding
- Results are often visible within one to three sessions
- Distinct from open-ended talk therapy
- Available worldwide by Zoom, or in person in Boulder

Investment
What it costs—and why it’s worth it
A fair question, and one most coaching sites dodge. Here’s the honest picture so you can decide with clear eyes.
-
Start with a free discovery call
We talk about what you want to change and whether this work fits. No charge, no obligation—many questions get answered right here.
-
Sessions are offered by package
Rather than billing open-ended hours, we work toward a clear outcome. Most personal change is well underway within one to three sessions. Individual sessions [rate TBD]; packages [rate TBD].
-
You pay for change, not time
The aim isn’t a standing weekly appointment for years. It’s a real shift in the pattern—so the issue stops costing you energy, relationships and opportunity long after we’re done.

The path
A practitioner, on his own ground
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, co-designed the Core Transformation Coach Certification, and trains internationally.
NLP is the heritage—but the work has grown beyond it, and so has Mark. Seventeen years and more than a thousand clients in, he works at the growing edge of the field as a trainer, teacher and author in his own right, from his home in Boulder, Colorado, where he lives with his wife Catherine and their son.

Questions
Good things to ask first
Both. Most clients work with Mark over Zoom from anywhere in the world; in-person sessions are available in Boulder, Colorado. The work is equally effective either way.
No. This is transformational change-work and coaching. Rather than talking through a problem over many months, we work directly with the automatic pattern behind it. Many people find it a faster, more targeted complement—or alternative—to open-ended talk therapy.
It varies, but meaningful change is often visible within one to three sessions. The goal is a real shift in the pattern—not an open-ended standing appointment.
Individuals navigating stress, anxiety, relationships or limiting beliefs; founders and executives seeking sharper leadership; practitioners who want to learn the methods; and event or podcast hosts looking for a speaker. If you’re not sure, the free call will tell us quickly.
Sessions are offered by package rather than open-ended hours [rate TBD], and most personal change is well underway in one to three sessions. Because the work is targeted, it’s typically faster—and over time less costly—than open-ended therapy. The free discovery call is the easiest way to get an exact quote for your needs.
We identify the pattern you want to change, then move through a gentle, structured process—Core Transformation, Metaphors of Movement or the Wholeness Work—that shifts it at the level of automatic experience. You stay fully present and in control throughout.
