Self Development
‘I was asleep for a long time’ ~ Nicole
As usually happens, a series of unfortunate experiences brought Nicole into the field of Personal Development. A whole new world opened up…the journey of her life began.
Starting in 2001, Nicole explored many self development modalities, picking up what worked and leaving behind what didn’t, regretting nothing. Preferring ‘hard core’ up front, ‘deal with it now’ process work rather than fluffy meditational stuff (though it is all good!), she came across an 80 year old John Avery who helped people with a process called ‘The Mace Energy Method’ and found the results to be remarkable and permanent. Self Development was a hobby at that point but she never forgot the effectiveness of the MEM procedures.
With everything leading up to the sale of her design business in 2006, Nicole found herself exhausted and at breaking point – the reason for selling everything and choosing to have a year off. She knew she was off track in a big way and rang John Avery again for a session and that was all it took – one session.
The timing was perfect – with a mini retirement on the go, and slightly concerned about finding things to do, and John Avery offering a MEM Practitioner Training Course, Nicole ventured into a totally new industry – Emotional Health and Wellness. The most empowering work she ever did for her own growth was the MEM Practitioner Course…Developed By John Mace – an octogenarian based in Perth who understood that you cannot help others with their issues if you still have those issues yourself…hence part of the training is to be sessioned repeatedly till you are very ‘clear’. Successful training also included understanding of the history and development of the method as well as practical experience with clients.
Nicole became a Certified Practitioner in 2007 and then a Practitioner Trainer, but didn’t stop there. MEM had been going for around 10 years and she only came across it by chance…she saw that her marketing expertise could be beneficial and as MEM was such an amazing ‘product’, joining forces with Eelco Menkveld, another Practitioner based in The Netherlands, both offering their time to bring MEM to the world. They began by upgrading websites for John Mace, John Avery and an official MEM website.
In 2008 a group of MEM practitioners got together to complete the Cert IV TAA believing it would lead to more credibility for the Mace Energy Method. Nicole also completed the training and went on to create the ‘Get Back To Happy’ workshop, conducting an introductory seminar at the International Womens Day Training, Employment and Lifestyle Expo.
In 2009 Nicole and Eelco both flew to Perth to spend two weeks with John Mace, developing and restructuring the training material, creating marketing material, video interviews and training materials, developing online marketing strategies and internal systems for growth and practitioner support. All of this probably overwhelmed the 83 year old semi recluse who initially resisted much of what they proposed to help him with, but Nicole and Eelco were confident ‘big picture’ thinkers who were committed to the cause and wanted to be a part of something that was going somewhere.
After networking at an Internet Marketing Seminar in USA, Nicole managed to get John Mace’s self published book ‘Don’t Think of an Elephant’ accepted by a New York Times best selling publisher who renamed and marketed the book worldwide as ‘Energy Over Mind’. Nicole provided the required website / online book ‘platform’.
Nicole is available via phone and Skype for sessions and training and has clients world wide. Recently she has developed ‘The Mind Freedom Technique’ (MFT) incorporating the Mace Energy Method Technologies.
