About Gina

Hi my name is Gina and I like to describe what I do as being a transpersonal coach who brings multimedia to my practice. I created an authoritative eMagazine on NLP and Healing, based on The Healing Pool, a virtual sanctuary I own in Second Life as my avatar ‘Nina Lancaster’.

Having trained with Richard Bandler, co-creator of NLP, I was privileged to have assisted on his London seminars as his scribe. Now a certified trainer of NLP I provide workshops, seminars and courses as applications in virtual worlds to a multi-national audience worldwide. I am now focused on working towards a new paradigm method of delivering NLP training to a virtual world audience via various forms of multimedia platforms in partnership with sponsors and organisations. Finally, my passion for raising awareness of virtual worlds and their potential for training change and personal development is being realised through my ability to notice where they will have the best benefit to a global audience as well as to those who need more traditional methods of learning such as books, CDs, audio and one to one coaching.

Previously, having trained as a Life Coach, I pioneered the concept of Lifestyle Coaching within Virgin Active Health Clubs at their West London flagship branch. I set up a program for club members that helped them re-wire their thinking around food, exercise and general lifestyle habits, such as sleep and stress management, relaxation training and smoking cessation. In particular, I worked with women presenting psychological issues related to their weight and body image. I have written numerous articles on this topic and developed and adapted NLP in this area for delivery of lifestyle workshops and products to help women become more self-empowered and balanced using Second Life as mind training tool for positive lifestyle change.
