Lorna Bukkland-Vitetta
Lorna became interested in working with People who are dys-fluent, Block, stutter, or stammer, when she experienced seeing first hand the results her therapy clients, and her husband Jon, how he achieved from using the cognitive sciences of Mind Power, NLP and NS models of therapy, in becoming a fluent speaker 100% in his life today, and has been since 1991.

Having been a person who stuttered from the ages of 7 till he was 40, it was an ‘all of a sudden’ realisation that he had become totally fluent. He suddenly became aware that he no longer was a stutterer, realising that since he had begun working with his own powers of the mind, NLP and Neurosemantics techniques, lots of changes had taken place, that allowed him to now speak fluently. He has now been 100% fluent for over 12 years.

Lorna's point of difference to many other NLP trainers, is that she has not stuck with one model - Her experience over many years of working with many of the best NLP trainers internationally, having experienced Neurosemantics NLP, classic NLP, Pure NLP, New NLP, modelling, coaching, Time Line Therapy, and Hypnotherapy, Whole Brain Thinking, EFT, Alpha, gives her the ability to assist you in discovering the best model for you - as we all think differently, and run different programs she has the skills and techniques to uniquely match you with your most compatible way of learning and communicating.

she has worked over the last six years with people who stuttered, though she was working not on their stuttering, but their fears and anxiety from many different experiences in their lives. They all improved their fluency, speaking more freely that they no longer refer to themselves as a stutterer, but a fluent speaker who occasionally has a mild block. Her nephew has also overcome his stuttering, by applying the techniques he learnt from the weekend seminar,
The Key To Designing Your Destiny™ and some personal coaching.

Lorna assisted Bob in his workshop in Perth in Feb 2004, and is now presenting the workshops, as well as offering regular support to all graduates of the program, Australia wide with telephone and email support.

For the last three and half years she has been holding regular workshops, Letting Go and Expressing Yourself Freely.
The workshop is modelled on what Dr Bob Bodenhammer, from Neurosemantics, has developed and as she has evolved she has deleted, changed, added and modified the materials since the first workshops were held. The manuals are more user friendly and a lot of the jargon has been deleted and now has included many 'self worksheet' which enable you to leave the workshop and continue easily your journey to freely expressiong yourself.

The last few years has been very rewarding as she experiences the development of many who have grown and developed, that has enabled them to move forward in their own lives personally and professionally. Since working with the workshops, and the people who have completed them, Lorna has become more and more convinced that these techniques combined with the persons committment and persistence, great results can be achieved towards gaining more confidence, self esteem, self worthiness, which will enable you to speak more freely, and in some cases the ability to speak more fluently more often. Lorna seen the proof with some of her clients that it is possible to speak more freely and become more fluent.

The testimonials from the workshops has been phenomenal. Lorna continues with the journey of learning more and more about people who have dys-fluency or stutter, together along with the many others who are professionally supporting and working with dys-fluency, being sure that each day there will be many more new realisations as we coninually uncover different ways of how people have overcome their stuttering and began to speak more freely.

Lorna is inspired every day in some way, by the dedication and work of Dr Bob Bodenhamer, John Harrison, Tim Mackesey, Charles Marcus and many speech pathologists that she has had the pleasure of meeting. Inspiration for her continuation of the fluency work comes from the graduates of the workshops. Experiencing first hand the changes the graduates are making with their ability to speaking more freely is an inspiration for her, and is so rewarding, as they apply and put into action, being committed to and in getting their results.

Having worked with a lot of different cognitive sciences, the power of the mind/body over many years, learning to ‘run my own brain’, she was aware of and had experienced personally the great changes that were a possibility, if the person was willing to Practice, Persist and Put into action the techniques to achieve their results.

Together, Jon and Lorna work at Making A Difference in helping those with challenges to overcome them enabling them to experience the opportunities and possibilities of having the success they choose, as they both continue themselves to embrace, learn and discover the wonderful opportunities that are available to all of us in this our chosen fields of work. As we all travel on our own p[ersonal journey learning every day, new and wonderful ways of overcoming and mastering our own fallabilities, our own human challenges by using the skills and techniques we have learnt on the way.

Jon Vitetta
Jon's interest in working with people who were dys-fluent, came as his wife Lorna got interested in researching more with her own clients, and from seeing the improvements they were making in becoming more fluent.

Being a stutterer from the age of 7 till I was 40, also allowed Jon to be able to show people first hand, that you can live the dream of being able to speak more freely, and the possibility of becoming more fluent, that in my case. it was a possibility to become 100% fluent, and I am and have been 100% fluent now for over 14 years. Jon says always give yourself permission to allow yourself the possibilityof speaking more freely, to have an open mind, discover new ways of speaking and communicating, become committed to, and apply to self the many wonderful ways we can change our behaviours by practicing and having persistence in becoming the successful person we choose to be.

Being an Engineer and a skeptic from way back of all things that were not logic in Jon's model of the world, that if he could not see it in front of him the exact formula - it could never and would never work ..............Jon is not sure when it was exactly or what happened that allowed him to open the doors to new opportunities of learning and experiencing new and different ways of doing things, that he had not been accustomed to doing, in a way that he had not experienced before, though he is so glad that he made that decision back then to just give it a go, Jon surely had nothing to lose.

Jon did an advance communication course while working with the State Electricity Commission in Victoria, that began him on his journey of speaking more freely. In 1992, Lorna and Jon did a course over 6 weeks, with John Kehoe of Mind Power, having applied these techniques to himself; then with his NLP
and Neurosemantics trainings, as he claimed many more tools to work with, Jon began to notice the changes. A few months later he became aware of and realised that stuttering was no longer a problem for him, he was speaking more freely, he was speaking fluently.
Jon never thought about my blocking or stuttering, it just faded into the background of something that was, that used to be. It was no longer appropriate for him to label himself as a stutterer as he no longer stuttered.

How long did this take Jon?
Jon is not sure because he gave myself permission to stutter, and did not care or worry about what other people thought of him, or his speech,
Jon was focused on what he was saying, not how he spoke, or was speaking, Jon learnt how to clear all of his ‘anger’ ‘fear’ and ‘anxiety’ around his speaking.

Jon strongly recommend all dys-fluent, PWBS to give yourself permission, to open your minds, allow yourself to become flexible, trust in your own ability, stop judging others, let go of all skepticism, give yourselves the chance to discover, what new ways are available to you, and how you can begin to speak more freely, exploring all of the different ways available to you, until you discover the perfect techniques that will assist you in speaking more freely with the possibility of knowing you may become more fluent in your speaking, believe you can and you will, in your own time, in your own way.
Jon highly recommends the 'Letting Go and Expressing Yourself Freely' Workshops, it was due to learning these techniques that were the Difference that made the difference to Jon enhancing his speaking, that allowed him to speak more freely and become fluent in his life today.

Jon later became a practitioner, then a Master Practitioner of NLP, Time Line Therapy and Hypnosis, later on trained with Neuro Semantics, becoming a certified Life Coach, and completed Trainers Training with Neurosemantics.
Today in his life, Jon lives, walks and talks what he has learnt over many years of learning, applying to self, experiencing his own fallabilities and learning from them how to enjoy his life and live it.

Lorna and Jon both continue in enhancing their own trainings and skills by continuing education with Master Trainers in these fields.
