to assess your current level of body burnout

We are on a mission to change the trajectory of healthcare by creating an effective process to end body burnout - for good!

We believe that our bodies are fighting FOR us, NOT against us. Meaning: your body is always trying to get back into homeostasis.

The medical system (and even - eek - dialogue in some functional medicine & natural medicine spheres) claim that the answer to your health issues is OUTSIDE of your - medication, surgery, restrictive diets, supplements, or an expert to "tell you" what to do.

Yes targeted lab tests and lab-based therapuetics are important to heal body systems (and are an important part of our toolkit). But the truth is: 95% of what you need to heal is already within you. What the body created, the body can heal. You just need to learn how to get out of your own way, and address your deepest root cause. This is what our Ending Body Burnout Method is all about. And best part - it sets you up to be your own self-healer, so you have all the tools to stay healthy for life!

About me...starts with about you...I’m guessing you’re here because your body is breaking down, and you're trying to juggle the demands of life - family, work, business, all the things? You are not alone! I was there once too. It is crushing. Debilitating. I know this viscerally, intricately, because this was me after having kids. Your story, is my story.

I was searching for answers, for solutions - for YEARS. I tried this way of eating. I tried that supplement. I tried this doctor. That practitioner. Some things helped reduce symptoms. Yet still I wasn’t getting to the root cause of my health issues.

This led me to be treated by one of the world’s best in Functional Medicine, Dr Daniel Kalish, who, at the same time, mentored me in the practice of Functional Medicine. He gave me a PLAN to uncover body system imbalances that go beyond what GP's and medical specialists test for. I later delved deep into my subconscious state and healed dysfunctional patterns I was running that LED TO my body systems burning out in the first place. After holistic body-mind healing, I finally got on top of my health and become the mum, the wife, the practitioner & business owner that I wanted to be.

I am grateful, now, having done the hard work, that I have the knowledge and skills to fast-track you to find answers and solutions to your health issues. Together, we can turn your decades into days!

I have always been blessed with health of body and mind. For many years, however, I devalued my blessings and abused my body, my mind and my spirit. I was so obsessed with elite level sport and being ‘the best’ - first, national-level basketball, then national-level Strongman - that I broke my body down with multiple injuries, burnt-out my adrenals, and was left living on energy drinks to get through work, and conking out on the couch when I was at home, leaving little time for my kids and my wife. I was also burning the candle at both ends, trying to build a fitness business.

I had lost my way. Although I was a physically 'big' man, I felt weak and broken inside. My family life & business suffered because of it. It was through my own mentorship with world-renowned Holistic Health Coach, Mark Buckley, that I discovered the power of Mindset Coaching - which literally saved my life in more ways then one. Through intensive psychological re-shifting work, and healing of my own body systems (with the help of my darling wife!), I found my way back.

I have always felt a connection and a love for those who are struggling, body and mind and in business, and I believe, that it is my purpose in life to provide guidance and encouragement to them and to lift their lives. I get inside your head and your heart, and help make sense of your mess and bring structure to your struggles.
