Testimonials

 

 

Hear what these incredible coaches have to say...

Karen Sheriff, Certified LifeMapping Coach

Never have I seen a technique work so quickly and thoroughly... John and Kari have filled this course with relatable stories and very malleable steps and tips, which beautifully lay the foundation on which to create a living, breathing life’s story in a fascinating and clear storyboard format. I have worked with one client for over two years who was totally averse to realizing even his smallest positive strengths or any successes. In under an hour, following the healing instructions in LifeMapping, he not only began to remember the good things he had done, but rejoiced in the memories. He laughed and cried – and this was only on the first step! Never have I seen a technique work so quickly and thoroughly. As we move forward with the LifeMapping technique, he is no longer stuck and is enthusiastically looking forward to his future and making plans as he completes his life map and storyboard. This course needs to be in your library!

Debi Ronca, Certified LifeMapping Coach

Life-changing... The God-given technique of Life Mapping is an experience and intentional discovery that every person needs to encounter. In this course, you will discover and gain maybe even for the first time, the reasons behind the way you feel or respond in life. A thoughtful process that reveals what you have been longing to know, removing the scales and bringing healing to your soul. John and Kari, thank you for a life-changing experience through your book. A true gift, done with compassion, expertise, and wisdom.

Dawn Baggett, Certified LifeMapping Coach

Terriffic... I'm so grateful to have been able to learn the process of LifeMapping from one of my favorite authors, John Trent and his beautiful daughter Kari in person. The course is a terrific resource to have and refer to again and again. The process of LifeMapping to make the complex and overwhelming more understandable and manageable in order for people to better move forward is one that can have enormous application in people's lives.
