The Science
Drawing on lived experience, client insights, and collaborating with experts around the world, MBL has developed a suite of programs designed to support meaningful, productive, and lasting change.
The work conducted by MBL has deep roots in science.
MBL Founder, Karelynne Randall, has spent many years working closely with internationally renowned researchers in Neuroscience and Psychology, to understand the impact of life experiences on our behaviours.
MBL harnesses the knowledge and expertise of leading-edge practitioners, using evidence-based theories and strategies, to benefit client transformation.
Significant Emotional Events S.E.E
Not so well known, or widely recognised, is the lasting impact of Significant Emotional Events (S.E.E.) pioneered by Sociologist, Professor Morris Massey.
How we use the S.E.E theory in our work
To recall, and acknowledge the impression or impact of significant life events, is foundational to understanding how our values – ‘feelings, attitudes and beliefs’ are formed in those moments, and that they are embedded in our neurology.
The empowerment of exploring SE.E. is that your newfound awareness facilitates becoming discerning about whether certain feelings, attitudes and beliefs are helpful, or no longer productive. Your power is in discernment. Your strength is in wellbeing. Your freedom is in choice.
Adverse Childhood/Life Experiences (ACEs) and Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs)
Uncovered by Dr Vincent Felitti. MD, Adverse Childhood/Life Experiences (ACEs) and Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) focus on how neurological pathways form naturally, in response to ACEs and PCEs.
Dr Felitti’s work affirms that everyone has, or will experience interruptive, intrusive or traumatic ‘adverse events’ in life; either as a child (prenatal -0-18yrs), or throughout life, and everyone responds differently.
This theory identifies how negative experiences can entrench unhelpful, even harmful, subconscious, behavioural patterns that limit our lives. In Dr Felitti’s study, The CDC-Kaiser Permanent ACEs Study (1998), a direct link was found between childhood trauma and adult onset of chronic disease, incarceration, and employment challenges.
When acknowledged, the ACEs can be the catalyst for a breakthrough to greater understanding (and control) over ‘why you are who you are, and empowering how you choose to be’, motivating a new and achievable, positive outlook, on purpose and potential.
Identifying Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) is crucial to recognising how our positive core values have unknowingly propelled us forward, even in the face of overwhelming challenges. Acknowledgment of PCEs can be the foundation upon which we thrive.
How we use the ACE and PCEs theories in our work
MBL acknowledges Prof. Morris Massey’s, sociological concept of values formation, as originating from ‘Significant Emotional Experiences’ (S.E.E), to the ground-breaking research of Dr. Vincent J. Felitti MD, FACP, The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) Studies, Centre for Disease Control: Kaiser Permanente Study.
Within our pioneering program, Signature Strengths®, clients are supported to express challenges, and invited on a Timeline Journey™, to identify positive, transferable values.
To support understanding of values formation, both the ACEs and PCEs questionnaires are offered to help clients strengthen their resolve, to take charge and move beyond remaining in effect of unhelpful values (feeling, attitudes and beliefs), unknowingly formed during adverse life experiences.
When we understand how ACEs and PCEs shape development, we unlock the potential to heal, grow, and thrive—not only in individuals, but in communities.
As pioneers like Dr. Vincent Felitti – MD and Dr. Brian Alman – PhD. have shown, awareness leads to transformation, and transformation leads to lasting well-being and achievement.’
“Your individuality evolves from your adverse and positive childhood experiences (ACEs and PCEs). You can honour your unique gifts, talents, perspectives, and vulnerabilities.” Dr. Brian Alman. PhD.
Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) are what MBL identifies as your Signature Strengths®. They are the positive core values (present prior to interruptive, invasive, and traumatic events) that sustain life, despite challenges, and by choice, they can be the reason you can thrive!
MBL applies the results of both the ACEs and PCEs questionnaires within our own pioneering program Signature Strengths®, to help clients strengthen their resolve, to take charge and move beyond remaining in effect of unhelpful values (feeling. attitudes and beliefs), unknowingly formed during adverse life experiences.
Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)
“Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) may be the most powerful vehicle for change in existence!”
— Modern Psychology
When working with you, or your organisation, MBL incorporates the leading-edge strategies of Neurolinguistic Programming. We recognise NLP as a powerful communication tool, that helps individuals break through psychological patterns and emotional barriers to reprogram their thinking, and create lasting behavioural change.
Our limitations often live in our subconscious. NLP helps you rewire those mental barriers so we can move beyond them. We frame NLP as a “mental rewiring system” that helps clients move beyond limitations in both life and work.
How we use NLP in our work
NLP is the science of how language, thoughts, and behaviours shape our reality and how we can reprogram all this, for success.
At MBL we utilise NLP to build genuine rapport, interpret non-verbal cues, and tailor our communication to facilitate deeper connections, personal expression, and promote positive behavioural change.
We integrate the use of NLP to foster meaningful, and effective client interactions, and as a practical, re-usable tool to help clients:
- Recognise unconscious emotional triggers and shift limiting beliefs.
- Develop empowering habits and communication patterns.
- Strengthen mindset for long-term success.
