Álvaro is a Transformational Neurolinguistic Programing (T-NLP) practitioner with a multicultural background who holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in biological and environmental sciences. Before transitioning into a fulltime T-NLP practitioner, Alvaro worked in the tourist and service industry, and for almost two decades served as a project manager for a large engineering and environmental firm and as an environmental independent contractor.

He first heard about NLP during a yearlong coaching training in 2011. The concept of neuro linguistic programming both startled and intrigued him; yet his curiosity for learning how these disciplines intersect as an aid for human development and improvement prevailed. Motivated to find a greater sense of clarity and congruence about his path, in 2014 Álvaro earned his T-NLP masters practitioner certificate from NLP-Marin. During and after completing his certification process, Alvaro and continued taking the other elective courses, including the Rapport with Self series, and has been performing as an assistant in all the courses offered ay NLP-Marin.

Alvaro found that the experience and learnings acquired through the courses and assisting students, and working with clients was transformative in how he relates to himself, with others, and the world at large. He believes that everybody benefits when most of us do better. Driven by his desire to share and equipped with the tools and experience on how human beings create and shape their experience he launched his T-NLP practice full time in 2023.
