About Shawn

I became interested in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) while working as a business consultant in London in the 1990s. My background as a mathematician, and my experience dealing with the tax and legal systems of multiple countries, did anything but equip me to understand the emotional drivers that influenced my clients. I desperately needed a way to understand what made my clients ‘tick’, and NLP provided the explanatory toolkit I needed!

I studied NLP for the next dozen or so years, but it wasn’t until I retired from full-time work in 2006 that I was able to formalize my studies. I began to study and practice full time, NLP, Hypnosis, Clean Language, Symbolic Modeling, EFT, and anything else that would add to my skill set. In 2007, I opened my hypnosis and coaching practice in New York. 

In 2012 along with my wife Sarah and partner Jess Marion, we formed what would become The Intelligent Hypnotist, our training company, and a publishing company Changing Minds Publishing.  

In addition to the NLP, hypnosis, and coaching courses, The Intelligent Hypnotist offers advanced and specialized trainings for practitioners and those looking to add to their own well-being.  Through Changing Minds Publishing, we publish books on NLP, hypnosis, personal development, inspiration and other specialized titles. 

My sessions are individually tailored to the needs of my client. I offer single and short series of sessions for specific problems, or more extended coaching relationships for those seeking long term coaching and support in business or life.

My trainings are focused on taking a deep dive into a topic that interests me, and attracts the students who will gain from the material.
