The Lightning Process

Rewire Your Brain. Reclaim Your Health. Transform Your Life.

The Phil Parker Lightning Process® is a powerful mind-body training programme that teaches you how to influence your health and wellbeing by changing the way your brain and body communicate. Rooted in cutting-edge neuroscience, the Lightning Process® shows you how to rebalance your nervous system, retrain unhelpful neural pathways, and take back control of your life.

You’ll develop practical tools and skills to:

  • Rewire your incredible brain for health and resilience

  • Identify and shift limiting beliefs and behaviour patterns

  • Use brain rehearsal techniques to create the future you want

  • Switch off stress and activate your body’s natural healing system

The aim? A healthier, more balanced nervous system – so you can rest, recover, and thrive.

About the Lightning Process

  • The training is delivered in three transformative stages:

    Stage OneFoundations

    Listen to a short audio session that explains how your brain influences your body, and why this matters for your health.

    Stage TwoLive Training

    Over three half-day sessions, I’ll guide you through powerful techniques to rewire your mind-body connection using neuroplasticity.
    These sessions take place in person and are tailored to your unique journey.

    Stage ThreeOngoing Support

    Following the training, you’ll receive at least three personal coaching sessions with me, Nikki, a certified Lightning Process® practitioner.
    These sessions will support and empower you as you apply the tools in daily life and continue your journey of transformation.

  • Our brains are integral to our health and wellbeing – influencing our immune system, sleep patterns, digestion, endocrine and hormonal activity, behaviours, feelings, thoughts and perceptions.

    Our brains are always ‘on’. And here’s where Neuroplasticity comes in. Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to re-wire itself dependent on how it’s used. Not only can the brain literally create new life giving neural pathways, it can even grow (neurogenesis).

    And if you’ve ever been stuck in your physical, mental, spiritual or emotional health, then this is good news! This is the best news because it means that you can change things.

    Understanding the connection of the mind (neurology) and the body (physiology) means that we can change unconscious, unhealthy default patterns, and instead consciously influence our brain, our health and our life.
