These two things are forever changing, as I discover more of who I am, the things I’m doing seem to change. I am currently stretching my belief system to include “we can achieve anything together” & “I am the change”. My name is Trevor King and I am packing up whatever I’m allowed on a plane and putting myself in a situation for deep learning and adjustment to occur.

When I learned that the Universe provides whatever you want and my beliefs were the only thing in the way, I got to work on examining what my current system held. It turned out that by asking myself “What do you want?” all of my beliefs would be exposed in the difference between where I am and where I want to be. Imagining life in the most perfect scenario and examining the difference between my life now and that image. I pictured that I was somewhere warm, I saw myself smiling and I looked so relaxed. I allowed myself to fill in more of the details. The desire to feel valued in a way that held me up in my community was present and I knew that some type of healing was involved.

It all began (in my early teens) with a desire to feel comfortable in my own skin. Drugs took the edge off and pills numbed it out, I experimented with it all and when the drugs wore off I was left to confront the depressing truth that I didn’t seem to hold myself in very high regard. I found physical fitness in my mid-twenties (I was in a tough place in my life and was on my 4th round of anti-depressants, a joy to be around -just ask my ex-wife) and the gym became my therapy and healing center. It made a tremendous difference in my life mentally and physically.

This lead to my undivided attention to the concept that things didn’t have to be the way they always were (and a career change to Personal Trainer). With the knowing that things could get better and being interested in my own inner workings, I discovered Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP for short) and soon became a practitioner. It reshaped the way I viewed my world and had two occasions where I literally felt forever-changed through a process called Parts Integration.

• NLP is a method of influencing brain behaviour (the "neuro" part of the phrase) through the use of language (the "linguistic" part) to enable a person to "recode" the way the brain responds to stimuli (that's the "programming") to manifest new and better behaviours.

My practice of NLP over the course of the next few years would help me grasp the concept that I am responsible for every word that comes out of my mouth and every thought that I think. It’s kind of like finding out that you’ve been bumping around in your car your whole life wondering why life is so nuts and then you discover… the steering wheel, the brakes and the accelerator. This opened me up to the understanding of how I make life work (or not work) for me 

I threw myself into what was working (my clients) and built some powerful relationships.

Client Testimonial

My husband and I began seeing Trevor for NLP counselling in June of 2012, and it has been a life altering experience for both of us. My husband was struggling with job related stresses, and raising a son on the autism spectrum was taking it’s toll on both of us. We were both doing personal fitness training with Trevor, but realized that we needed to work on our minds as well. Trevor has helped us in so many ways it’s difficult to put down in a short paragraph what this experience has meant for us, and our family. He helped us to communicate much better, to understand each other better, and most importantly, to understand ourselves. We would both wholeheartedly recommend Trevor for counselling services if you are looking to make some changes in your life. He’s even worked with our son on occasion, and has helped him to see his stresses in a new light. Knowing Trevor and having him share his knowledge of NLP has been the best thing that we could have done for our relationship.

I was still my harshest critic though and I felt powerless to this deep feeling of unworthiness.

It’s important to include here that my upbringing was non-religious though my mother encouraged me to try church and make my own decisions (I decided I liked banana bread and sometimes the stories during Sunday school). I mention this because the next event changed how I viewed EVERYTHING again. I was training my client Art and he asked me if I had ever heard of a Shamanic drink from the amazon called Ayahuasca. I had not but when I got home I began some research that only got more and more exciting for me. The experiences I was hearing from the journals of drinkers sounded like what I was looking for.

I found out it was nicknamed “La Medicina”. And heard it described as “the best doctor, psychologist and priest”. I wondered if this might move me closer to comfort with myself.

Long story short- I booked a trip with Art to deepest darkest Peru and we drank the tea 10 times over the course of the next 2 weeks under the guidance of 2 local Shamans. I was having telepathic-like experiences for the first time with “something” (be that my higher self or a plant entity). Either way, it was showing me things about myself in a way that was just beautiful. Things I do that I never thought to give myself credit for and it was the first time in my life that my daily thoughts went away. I would describe it like when a computer fan or an air conditioner has been running for a long time and then when it shuts off you sigh and relax.

That was over three years ago and since I got home from that first trip it’s been game on to assimilate what happened. I AM HAPPY! Not only that, I also know why I’m happy, I give that to myself- I just allow it now. I’m not happy 24/7 but I understand I take it or give it to myself, it is not taken from or given to me. To bring you up to speed I have moved from personal trainer (for 5 years at a big gym) to my own business doing personal training & life coaching using NLP and other healing modalities for the last 4 years.

 *I only scratch the surface of this experience in the interest of time and for the sake of bringing everyone up to speed, I will share more about this during my blogging in Peru. *

I’m being called to the jungle again, but this time to give back. My girlfriend and I are moving to the jungle town of Tarapoto, Peru for 3 months (Starting Februrary 2015). Our objective will be to learn about sustainable systems of agriculture and energy as well as network with others who share a passion for this work. When I’m done, I intend to take this knowledge and experience back home and apply it to our own community. When I find something that really helps in a positive way, I want to share that thing with the world. I have connected with a group called Mission I’m-possible Peru (or MIP for short). We chose this group because it’s the most grass roots and it’s doing a myriad of things!

Including Aquaponics, experimenting with sustainable energy sources like the QEG as well as other projects that inspire and connect like the Ubuntu movement.

In the learning of so much, I have also exposed many things about myself that I still have yet to work on. Unlearning behavior is not my favorite thing to do, however, once you learn that it’s not serving you it feels like a poke in the eye every time, so you might as well change. I’m going to shoot for exactly what I want because what I want is unifying in nature. I want to experience positive change in myself and the world and I will lead that charge! 

….I dropped that bombshell on my significant other and I’m so grateful that she not only supported me but insisted on coming along! We have raised $2,000 of our own so far and after a couple friends asked if they could kick in a few bucks to help out, it occurred to me that this project might find outside support If I could bring proper value to it.

Here’s my offer: For any donation of $50 or more I will correspond with you via email to create your own personalized meal plan (yes this is also transferrable to friends and family that might appreciate it),

I will also include a 26 page dynamic warmup guide book in PDF format that I have personally created for myself and clients. Of course a donation of any kind is signed up for my weekly blog while I’m in Peru so you can follow my adventures into the jungle and beyond!

I made this fund raiser because I want to keep the options open for how funds are raised. I feel confident asking when I trust in my ability to give value. In closing, this kind of energy pays forward in so many unexpected ways, whether you’re supporting my journey or your own through a healthier lifestyle I hope you have the courage to always follow your heart and intuition!

Here is our bare bones expense report for our 3 month adventure, the work is volunteer so all costs are to be covered by us.
