Bob Hoffman and Volker Krohn 1990
Hoffman Centre Australia & Singapore
The Hoffman Centre Australia/Singapore has operated since 1989 in Australia and 1995 in Singapore and Asia.
Since then, close to 7000 people in Australia and Asia have benefited from the work of the Hoffman Process. Worldwide, more than 150,000 people have undertaken the Hoffman Process. Participants arrive from all over the region and the Centre provides pre- and post-process follow-up work conducted by highly skilled counsellors, coaches, and psychotherapists.
The originator of the Hoffman Process, Bob Hoffman, ran Australia’s first facilitator training program between 1989 and 1992. The director of the Hoffman Centre Australia/ Singapore, Volker Krohn (MAPsych), graduated in 1992 as one of the first supervising facilitators in Australia and received the credentials to continue training other Hoffman facilitators.
Today, the Hoffman Centre Australia/ Singapore team consists of highly trained facilitators with an in-depth background in psycho-dynamic, behavioural, family and existential psychotherapy. All facilitators have at least a post-graduate degree in psychotherapy. The Hoffman Centre Australia/ Singapore team also offers a comprehensive facilitator training program for qualified applicants.
The Hoffman team focuses all its activities around fulfilling their mission, which is ‘To help create peace and compassion on Earth through personal healing and transformation’.
Please contact us if you have any questions, would like to know more about the Hoffman facilitator training or simply like to know more about us.

Hoffman Facilitators
Our Team in Australia
Our team of accomplished Hoffman Process facilitators are the people who are accompanying you through the journey.
Volker Krohn
DIRECTOR, SUPERVISING FACILITATOR
“I did the Hoffman Process in 1989 and had the privilege to have Bob Hoffman as my facilitator. The Hoffman Process helped me to become aware of self defeating behavioral patterns I had learned during my childhood, that had set me up to avoid honoring the authority of my own ‘knowing’ and being able to live my creativity and passion. I experienced a fundamental shift in my sense of Self. Before the Process, I used to constantly doubt my intuition and worry about outcomes – after the Process I found the ability to trust myself to be able to handle anything that came to meet me in life – the ‘good’ as well as the ‘bad’.”
Volker’s extensive professional background includes Family Therapy, Self-Psychology, and Creative Arts Therapy as well as organisational development. He also speaks and writes widely on emotional healing, re-education and spiritual renewal, through the exploration of early childhood conditioning.
Volker is passionate about helping people to improve their emotional and spiritual intelligence and has inspired thousands of Hoffman graduates in Australia and worldwide to live from a place of self-acceptance and gratitude claiming compassionate leadership in their life.
Amanda Ahern
SENIOR FACILITATOR
In 1990, Amanda started training as a Hoffman Facilitator with founder Bob Hoffman and during the last 30+ years of working professionally with groups and individuals, has uncovered the gift of being able to bring out the best in people. This is her passion and her purpose and she continues this work today teaching the Hoffman Process, Yoga, Creativity and Wellness Coaching and supporting those who are in a process of change.
Amanda has led groups for women ‘Meeting the Muse’, to inspire their creative potential as a means to creating a life of love, joy and realization. She was instrumental in developing the award winning community education program ‘Living Well Mentors’ in Logan Qld. Local women were inspired to take responsibility for their lives through her well researched and specifically designed Lifestyle Challenge. Over 30 of the women who attended the programs were then trained to take up leadership roles and offer their gifts to others in the community like – singing, art, flower arranging, massage, cooking, community services, movement and dance. Many of these programs are still in existence today.
Amanda has also trained with Robert Fritz Inc in USA in ‘Creating Results’, Corporate Coaching, Motivational Interviewing, Health Coaching, Voice Dialogue Therapy and is a certified Svaroopa® Yoga Instructor and Embodyment® Yoga Therapist. Amanda practiced as a Postural Integration Therapist for many years and this has supported her in having a clear understanding of the physical conditions resulting from strongly held beliefs and unconscious conditioning.
