ABOUT HUGO

Hugo discovered how important the mind is and how it relates to the internal power at age 15 when he got exposed to a martial art, Aikido. Aikido taught Hugo that physical force and strength had nothing to do with the ability to take someone down as well as neutralizing a more powerful opponent. Hugo learned though Aikido that the way to conquer someone more powerful was by using the strength of the opponent, by maintaining a relaxed state, and allowing the body do what is has already learned.

Later on in life Hugo met John Marshall, owner of Right On Programs, where Hugo also teaches self empowerment classes to DUI offenders. John showed Hugo the importance in obtaining balance, though the use of the brain and how the brain is split into two hemispheres the right and the left. The left being all of us in our daily life (work, time, judgment, rational, logical, etc.) and the right the side we all strive for (freedom, relaxation, creative, peace, etc…). He told Hugo that in the society that we live we are always on the left side of our brain. He said as a child we all are in the right side (if not look at a little child and how it behaves, look at the innocence that exits on his/her eyes). With time we move from one side to the other (due to pressure work, bills, problems, etc.) The teachings of John Marshall are that of balance, utilizing both the left and the right brain for balance in life.

Hugo got the opportunity to work with juvenile delinquents, juveniles that got caught in the criminal justice system due to their behaviors. By working with this population Hugo started to understand that modifying the behavior is important, but even more important is to deal with whatever caused that behavior in the first place. so, in the future whatever caused that behavior does not reappear in a different form or shape. At the same time Hugo was working with juvenile delinquents, he was also working as a research assistant with a doctor of clinical and neuropsychology. Hugo was able to learn first hand how the brain functions and how it relates to certain behaviors and perceptions of reality as well as performed personality test and dealt one on one with clients assisting them in obtaining more resources and facilitating change and increased choice in daily living.

Finally, everything came together for Hugo when he learned about NLP, Time Line Therapy™, and Hypnosis. These powerful tools provided Hugo with a way to help others to transform negative emotions, beliefs, behaviors and limiting decisions, that have been stored in their unconscious minds. Hugo uses a combination of these modalities to facilitate quick and effective change and that is the basis of his current work in his private practice.
