Testimonials
“Bernd is a very talented professional who creates a mandate for change by his own personal example. The experience of the training weekends we had with Bernd has gone beyond the sphere of training lectures. (…) His humor and optimistic view of life create an even stronger professional image and make him approachable and highly effective in what he does.”
Bernd and Jaap had a significant impact on me both as a professional as well as an individual, approaching my learning experience with sensitivity, compassion and a smile, virtually holding my hand throughout the process. Being very different from each other and complementary at the same time, they form a powerful duo (…).
By far the most comprehensive, valuable training I have experienced. Hugely beneficial to my practice. NAOS is professional, the tutors are exceptional, the venue is delightful.
Bernd is the perfect blend of a supportive yet challenging tutor, his humorous nature allows him to gently prod me to take those risks necessary for growth. He is a very relational and interactive teacher and an expert at merging theory with practice. My experiences as his student are embedded for life!
There are really very few moments of epiphany that one has the fortune to experience in his life. This course provided everyone with at least one such a-ha moment. And it turned a bunch of individuals into one cohesive group. These two are more than anyone the one could expect from any course. It was worth both the time and the money.
"Captivating, enriching, empowering, insightful and should be mandatory training for every therapist! Excellent course, excellent tutors, a wondrous experience that has been truly life altering. I know I now have so much more to offer my clients and I now feel more able to do so. I am deeply grateful to NAOS for all their support and for providing such a profound opportunity for personal and professional growth and transformation."
