Learning today isn’t just about memorizing facts it’s about understanding how we act, speak, and think. Among the many modern disciplines, one stands quietly powerful: the study of how language shapes the human mind. Words can shift emotions, influence behavior, and even heal. This intersection of linguistics and psychology opens new ways for growth, helping people know themselves through the language they use every day.
That awareness inspired Vivi Thidalapat to create Life Lab Academy, a learning space born from exploration. What began as an online experiment in psychology, psycholinguistics, and NLP has grown into a community of more than a thousand learners who apply these principles in daily life. The project evolved into an academy devoted to understanding how language shapes thought, emotion, and transformation.
Before founding the academy, Vivi had already mastered and taught NLP in English to international audiences. Working across cultures deepened her understanding of how language carries emotion and meaning, inspiring her to adapt those same principles into Thai. Through that work, she discovered that NLP, created in English, could not be applied identically in Thai. Words hold emotional weight unique to each culture. This realization became the foundation of Life Lab Academy and its mission to connect language with the science of change.
A System Built on Values & Human Connection
This bilingual base became one of the academy’s greatest strengths, bridging Western NLP models with Eastern emotional depth. Its three values, Magic, Authenticity, and Linguistics, reflect the belief that when language is used with awareness, real transformation begins. “Our philosophy, Live Life by Design, embodies the understanding that each individual can define how they experience life”, says Vivi Thidalapat, Founder, Life Lab Academy.
Life Lab Academy offers an international certification pathway for personal and professional mastery. The foundation program, The Mind Intensive, focuses on NLP, Psycholinguistics, Hypnosis, Time Line Therapy, and NLP Coaching , helping participants reprogram emotional patterns, enhance self-awareness, and refine communication habits that shape everyday performance.
The next stage, Entrepreneur Mind, blends NLP with quantum physics and health science to build mental flexibility, sharper decision-making, and emotional stability enabling leaders to operate with clarity and confidence.
Then comes Identity Alignment, one of Asia’s most intensive NLP Trainer programs.
It strengthens leadership, public speaking, and identity alignment essential for powerful, authentic communication. Participants develop forty-four micro-habits of elite presentation and facilitation to lead with ease and influence.
At the highest level, Training in Training prepares leaders to multiply their impact. It equips them to train other trainers, build teams, and guide transformation across industries. Graduates master the science of human influence and learn how to shape culture in any environment. All programs are available in English and Thai, both online and in person.
Beyond certifications, the Mastery Accelerator Program offers an invitation-only track for professionals ready to turn expertise into real-world impact. Admission is interview-based to ensure personalized mentorship. This program helps graduates transform their knowledge into educational ventures and lasting contributions. “Each step combines scientific methodology with human understanding, enabling students to apply what they learn directly in life”, notes Vivi.
Guiding this mission is a close-knit team of seven. Alongside Vivi is her mother, Maravee Thidalapat, who manages financial operations, and two key partners, Jennidar Bisong and Pheam Siritaranond, both NLP Master Trainers and entrepreneurs. Together, they have built an academy that feels less like an institution and more like a living laboratory for human potential, powered by purpose, precision, and passion.
Turning Learning into Real-World Impact
Vivi’s work reaches far beyond education. She founded the Thai Science of Psycholinguistic Association and helped establish the International Federation of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (IFNLP) as a founding member, ensuring global NLP standards are represented with cultural precision.
Her team has also worked in crisis zones across Thailand — from natural disasters to border conflicts, helping soldiers, police officers, and families rebuild resilience. For Vivi, the reward lies not in recognition, but in restoring calm, strength, and hope where they’ve been lost.
“Vivi is a rare and trusted pioneer in Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Since meeting her in Sydney in 2017, I’ve had the honour of working and training alongside her across the USA, Australia, South Africa, and Thailand”, says Simon Gledhil, President of the IFNLP.
“Vivi didn’t just teach NLP; she taught me how to listen not only to others, but to my own silence”, adds Piyarata Suparattana, a Thai police officer. “During crisis missions, a school bus accident (2024) and the Thai–Cambodian border conflict (2025), I saw how calm, empathy, and genuine connection could bring light back to broken hearts”.
Our philosophy, Live Life by Design, embodies the understanding that each individual is capable of defining how they experience life
Continuing the Journey of Awareness
As Life Lab Academy grows, its next step is empowering advanced learners to mentor new participants. Its flagship upcoming project, Action Booster: The Business of Trust, is based on Vivi’s PhD research in NLP and Psycholinguistics.
This two-day immersive seminar, held live in Bangkok with a VIP international track, is designed for entrepreneurs and executives. It focuses on rebuilding trust, in self, team, and vision, to create lasting results through applied behavioral science and subconscious reprogramming. As the academy moves forward, its mission remains simple yet profound: to help people understand themselves through their own language and consciously design the life they live. What began as a small online experiment has become a movement built on one timeless truth, when we change the way we speak to ourselves, we change the way we live.
