In 1991, Devan Martin decided she wanted to improve her communication skills and found NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) to be a perfect fit because it involved the study of both the conscious way we speak and use language and the unconscious ways we communicate due to our beliefs and values. This led her to study the field more and she became interested in this as well as life coaching and hypnosis. In 2000, she was able to create her own business offering life coaching and hypnosis and recently moved to Lincoln to join her new husband Jeff Martin in his business, Lincoln Hypnosis. Her business combines the dynamic field of hypnosis and life coaching, which she feels are the perfect blend to help people achieve their business and personal goals. Both these processes (each in their own way), help people remove obstacles and barriers that continue negative behaviors and patterns. These powerful processes can be used to help people achieve their goals or dreams of greater abundance, having a body they love living in and even taking their business to the next level.
