The DNA Company adds Evolved NLP certification to DNA University

The DNA Company has added New Avalon’s Evolved NLP Practitioner Certification to DNA University, expanding online training for coaches, therapists and wellness professionals. The move pairs functional genomics education with behavior-change tools aimed at more individualized client support.

Why it matters: - The new certification broadens DNA University beyond genetics education into practical communication and behavior-change training. - The addition is aimed at coaches, therapists, health and wellness practitioners, and other professionals who work with clients on change. - The partnership is meant to help practitioners connect biological insights with day-to-day client support.

What happened: - The DNA Company added New Avalon’s Evolved NLP (ENLP) Practitioner Certification to DNA University’s online platform. - DNA University now offers the program through ongoing enrollment. - The announcement was made Sept. 2, 2026, from Corona, Florida.

The details: - DNA University is designed to train healthcare providers, practitioners and business leaders in precision wellness, epigenetics and functional genomics. - The platform teaches practitioners how to understand genetic information and apply those insights with clients. - ENLP extends that education into communication and behavior change. - The program covers language, beliefs, values, goal-setting and behavioral patterns. - The training also draws on neuroplasticity, nervous-system regulation, attention, memory, habit, emotion, neurodiversity and mind-body interaction. - The curriculum uses a trauma-conscious approach. - Practitioners are taught to consider whether behavior that looks resistant or self-sabotaging may serve an adaptive or protective purpose. - The program emphasizes client agency, nervous-system awareness, practitioner self-awareness and collaboration or referral when appropriate. - Graduates receive an Evolved NLP Practitioner Certification from New Avalon. - The American Association of Natural Wellness Practitioners recognizes New Avalon. - Graduates can apply for AANWP board certification as Evolved NLP Practitioners. - Students can finish the curriculum in about 10 to 12 weeks. - Trainers provide six months of coaching and support during certification requirements.

Between the lines: - The partnership reflects a push to make genetics education more actionable for practitioners who need tools, not just data. - Tracy Wood, CEO of The DNA Company, said genetic information can help practitioners better understand biological individuality, but effective communication is also needed to help clients use what they learn. - Kelley Oswin, R.S.W., co-creator of New Avalon, said the goal is precision because each person brings a different biology, nervous system, history, identity, beliefs and behavioral patterns to change work. - Wood also pointed to New Avalon’s reputation in the NLP community and the need for credible education in a field where practitioners can encounter pseudoscientific claims. - The move blends two practitioner questions: what the information says about an individual and how to help that individual act on it.

What's next: - DNA University will continue offering the ENLP certification through ongoing enrollment. - Interested students can contact clientcare@thednacompany.com or follow The DNA Company on LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook for more information. - DNA University and New Avalon are positioning the program as a continuing option for practitioners seeking additional training in client communication and behavior change.

The bottom line: - The DNA Company is adding a behavior-change layer to its genomics education, betting that practitioners want training that connects biological insight with practical client support.
