Perhaps it's the reason some clients get amazing results, and some… well, not so much. Or why some transformations just don’t seem to stick.
You deeply desire to be able to help your clients get their unconscious mind on board with their conscious goals, because you know the affirmations and journaling you’ve been prescribing alongside their action plan just don’t seem to cut it.
You want to be able to support them to get (+ stay!) out of their own way so that they can implement the plan you’ve co-created together and achieve the standout results they signed up for.
You secretly (maybe not so secretly) also want that for yourself, too ;)
And, you want to be able to confidently share your offers with the world, knowing that you can *actually* facilitate the transformation you’re promising.
Yet despite all your training and experience, you can't help but feel there's still a missing piece!
You're already a great coach.
Here's What You Need:
Subconscious reprogramming techniques that support your clients to get their unconscious mind on board with their conscious goals.
A streamlined pathway to integrate the tools and techniques into your existing coaching practice, or create a new program using the 10-step Mind Surgery Method® process as is.
Absolute confidence in your ability to guide your clients through the A to B transformation you're promising in your signature package, knowing you have a technique for every problem you come across in your practice.
The Mind Surgery Method® is uniquely designed for coaches & wellness practitioners with an existing business so that you can plug it into your practice straight away.
Introducing
- Sumeena Gupta, Business Coach
"As a business coach and mentor I really want to work with my clients so they trust themselves to grow their business. Knowing that most of what holds us back from growth and trusting ourselves is at the unconscious level, I really wanted to understand how to support my clients' true transformation at the identity level.
The Mind Surgery Method® was a simple path to really understand, learn, apply and use very useful tools with my clients. The beauty was the way Cara teaches the methods, it’s applicable to coaching straight away – she’s done all the hard work to make it easy for us to learn and use immediately."
"Everything I've learned I've used with confidence immediately."

the curriculum
Designed for optimal integration
→ The theory and science behind NLP, how the unconscious mind works and how both you and your clients can reprogram your unconscious mind to achieve your conscious goals.
→ Simple techniques to develop rapport and healthy boundaries with a client that creates a safe space for healing and transformation.
→ Investigating the "shadow side" of a goal, so that you can effectively uncover and release any potential roadblocks.
→ Scope of practice and how to effectively refer out where necessary.
this section includes:
During the first few weeks of the program, you'll learn the theory and foundations of NLP.
We'll also do a deep dive into effective goal setting for yourself & with clients.
The Foundations of Neuro-linguistic Programming
SECTION ONE
→ Conduct a "Pre-op" appointment in which you'll masterfully identify the limiting beliefs hiding behind yours or your clients' "unhelpful thoughts" and prepare them for surgery.
→ Release limiting beliefs & any associated (and unwarranted) major negative emotions at the root with a trauma-safe version of Mental and Emotional Release® (Similar to Timeline Therapy)
→ Parts Integration to resolve internal conflict over a decision and/or bring peace to a "Part" of yourself that is scared to change even after releasing limiting beliefs.
→ Learn how to facilitate Release Work Intensives and Level 1 BeliefWork Sessions with clients.
this section includes:
Once we'd laid the foundation, we're going to dive straight into the release work. This is where we release anything that could otherwise hinder results in our coaching containers.
The release work includes Master-level NLP techniques to (safely) release major negative emotions, limiting beliefs and conflicting parts.
Parts & Release Work Techniques
SECTION TWO
→ The hierarchy of ideas, as well as language models like Meta Model and Milton Model hypnotic language patterns that are effective for the conversational coaching component of your work with clients to access. (You'll also learn how to create story-based metaphors for presentations.)
→Practitioner-level NLP techniques such as Anchors, SWISH, Mapping Across and another belief change technique call Submodality Belief Change.
→ Co-create an action plan with a client that allows you to (re)calibrate on behaviour and effectively task your client while helping them stay in the driver's seat of their transformation.
THIS SECTION INCLUDES:
Now that we've released the old baggage, we can start forming that new identity!
While the Release work can occur at lightening speed, Rewiring and (Re)calibration takes time and space here in the 3D and a whole lot of accountability.
Language Patterns & Techniques that Rewire Behavior
SECTION THREE
→ Learn how to facilitate Level 2 BeliefWork Sessions & create a new signature coaching package (or upgrade the one you currently have), utilizing the 10-step Mind Surgery Method®.
→ If applicable, we'll also fine tune your marketing message to speak to the most empowered version of your ideal client, with the subconscious marketing secrets you've learned along the way.
→ Confidently share your new (or updated) offer with the world knowing that you have everything you need to support your clients in creating a lasting transformation.
THIS SECTION INCLUDES:
It's one thing to learn the tools and techniques, and it's another to both embody and integrate them into your coaching practice.
Now that you know the concepts & tools, we'll put it all together into a coaching process that works specifically for your ideal client.
Integrating the Tools into Your Practice
SECTION FOUR
I've personally invested over $150K and 7 years of trial and error to know what I know now about coaching. I've put it all together in a 10-step process that I wish I had at the beginning, or even a few years ago.
No fluff. Just the most effective tools for creating lasting transformation... not just for your clients, but for you too. Your next level will require a next level version of you.
If you're ready for that...
Learn the missing tools for becoming your own best client so you can confidently hold space (even more) powerfully for your own clients.
You're in the right place.

Tara Wiskow, Weight Loss & Empowerment Coach
"This work gives you that edge to go deeper and find out what's getting in the way for your clients so they can get the results you know are possible in your program."
Shauna Smith, Nurse Practitioner & Life Coach for Healthcare Workers
"I don't think you can create true change or transformation without doing this work. It cracks things open, releases the baggage and sets the foundation for moving forward."
Rachel Justicia, Health & Nutrition Coach (Specializing in Breast Implant Illness (BII))
"This changed everything. Even how I walked through my current health journey and my relationships. It helped me heal a lot."
I've personally gone from selling $47 detoxes (to anyone who would work with me!) to sustaining a 6-figure coaching business for over 7 years now, while overcoming many health obstacles along the way.
My clients are coaches and wellness practitioners across the globe. For the past 6 years I've been helping my clients get on video for the first time, launch their signature coaching programs, create their first $10K+ months and even $35K+ launches. Nothing makes me happier than to support someone to fully step into their next level of leadership as a coach and to transform their own life in the process.
After my NLP Trainer's Training in 2019, I experienced the most profound breakthroughs in my health journey that changed everything I thought I knew about coaching. And in 2020 after my 2nd major surgery, the Mind Surgery Method® was born. I've since had 60+ coaches through the program and I can't wait for you to experience it too!
P.S. It's just as much for you as it is for your clients ;)
- Tracy S. Clark, Weight Loss & Mindset Coach
"As a health coach working with weight loss clients, I was finding that my clients were doing fine during the program. But shortly after completing the program, they reverted to old habits. They would all say that they knew what to do but they weren't doing it!
The Mind Surgery Method® provided me additional skills to help clients release the things that hold them back more effectively. We get to explore their beliefs and release those beliefs that have been unhelpful.
It has personally shifted my self awareness and I was able to explore my own unhelpful beliefs and solve conflicts. There were also some tools for more effective communication that I found invaluable. I walked away with a lifetime of skills that I can use for myself, family, and clients. In addition, I connected to an awesome community of coaches with amazing skills that I know can be an additional resource.
Cara was supportive and made the process of learning the material practical, which made it easy to learn and apply to my current coaching methods."
"I walked away with a lifetime of skills that I can use for myself, family, and clients."
I loved working with my clients but always felt like there was a "missing puzzle piece" to truly empower them to feel confident while dating after 40.
Cara's curated methodology helped me understand and unlock the underlying psychology (the subconscious beliefs) that were holding my clients back despite all the work they were already doing. And thanks to this incredible program, I now have the tools that will truly take my clients from "I think I can do to this" to "I KNOW I can do this because now I KNOW what I was being held back in the first place."
- Martha Bodyfelt , Dating Coach
"The Mind Surgery Method® filled that missing piece in my coaching practice.
You could have all the tests, the lab work, the protocol – but none of that matters if you have not addressed all their underlying beliefs. If you're not addressing all of that, then it's not going to be sustainable long term. Your clients are either going to be overwhelmed or just willpower their way through it and then revert right back to their old behaviors. I was one of those people.
The Mind Surgery Method really helped me to understand the subconscious. It’s the key to everything – and to me being more joyful, present and successful in my own life too.”
- Dr. Dawn Allen, Nurse Practitioner & Menopause Expert
“I'm excited to have these tools now; it's been life changing for my clients.
The Mind Surgery Method® is a good foundation if you are serious about building a coaching business or even just understanding yourself as a coach and as an Individual.
Cara’s very organized method of teaching combined with the right balance of demos and practices allowed us to understand the framework and the various tools and techniques and makes it very applicable in our different businesses."
- Charity Marohombsar, Cancer Coach
"This experience has opened my mind and changed me forever.
She has a developed a really carefully considered course with great structure and value. Cara not only teaches NLP in a great digestible way, but ensures you know how to package and integrate it in a way that makes sense to your coaching practice which isn’t usually offered in standard NLP training. I would recommend the Mind Surgery Method® whole heartedly."
- Sally Dibden, High Performance Coach
"Cara brings her unique skillset & real life experience of running a coaching business to this very special learning container.
This program is the only one of its kind...
I teach modern NLP & tailor it for coaches in the online space.
Old school NLP is taught on the assumption that you'd be working with people in person. (i.e., Zoom coaching did not exist in the 1970s!)
Further, it's usually taught to the general public. I was shocked to discover that I was one of only 7 coaches at the 100-person Practitioner training I attended in 2018. Most people in the room worked in real estate or were only there because their employer had sent them to improve their communication skills.
Many of the techniques taught at traditional NLP trainings just simply do not apply to coaches in the online space.
I teach you the best of practitioner & master-level NLP in one training with no up-sell at the end.
After learning Master-level techniques and discovering my clients got way better results when I facilitated the release work with Mental and Emotional Release® first -- there was no way I could do my fellow coaches the disservice of making them jump through hoops to gain access to these tools to better-help their clients too.
So I've decided my students should get the best of both levels, and in one program. Call me crazy, but I love efficiency. I've removed anything that doesn't apply to coaches and given you the best of what does in a streamlined 10-step process and I teach it to you in the order you'll actually use with clients. (And at a fraction of what it would cost you to learn in the traditional model.)
Joanna Denton, Executive Coach
My clients strive to move from the daily grind of eat, sleep, work, repeat to a daily greatness of fun, focus and freedom as they try to get more balance in their lives. They are smart people, who have read all the books, they just struggle to put things into practice in a sustainable way as they continue to work long hours, people please, and creep down a road towards burnout.
I signed up to Mind Surgery Method because I had come to realise one key lesson. If my client was clinging on to a bunch of baggage and beliefs around “busy is a badge of honour”, or “I have to be the safe pair of hands everyone can count on”, or “If I ask for help, that means I am weak”, I could give them all the life hacks I wanted about getting more balance, but they would continue to sabotage their own success and let any hope of bringing sustainable balance into their lives fly out of the window.
Over the four months of the course, I geeked out completely. Each module was presented in a bite sized way, with heaps of examples, and right from the start showed concrete ways I could add value to my clients. I fell back in love with learning, and that encouraged me to practice more and more and get even better at what I was doing.
The tangibility of the techniques and the time to practice at length meant that, by the end of the course, I have come away confident in my ability to put these techniques and new learnings into concrete and tangible practice. Along the way I have also been able to experience the impact of the techniques, particularly around debunking very long held beliefs around visibility and rejection, and what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur."
"Concrete and tangible, with a mind-blowing wow factor!
Dr. Dawn Allen, APRN
Life Coach for Type A, High-Achieving Wellness Professionals
"Even after 20 years as a Nurse Practitioner, I knew there was something missing. This completely changed my entire outlook on life!"
Stoney Eskew, Weight Loss & Money Transformation Coach for Entrepreneurs
"I really feel like this is the missing piece for our clients to really get that lasting change. It just takes everything to the next level."
Lesley Steppler, Holistic Mental Health Coach
"I was most surprised by just how quick and intense the results can be. Practicing with others in the program was eye opening and confirming that this is needed."
