As life went on, not having a solid masculine presence in my life, i flowed through life without any real direction. I Worked in the professional trades fields as a heavy equipment mechanic, a drug addiction was present since my youth, leading up to a work accident that forced me to change careers, i found my life had crumbled before me. My relationships were failing, I lacked intimacy in my life, with others and most of all myself. After an attempt on my life through drugs, i found myself truly alone. The system barely had any avenues for me to truly get the support i required and desired, not being able to afford proffesional help, a failed health care system with waiting lists of over 2 years, i had to make a choice. I decided to seclude myself and truly start living the way i always wanted to live, realising i was living by someone elses narrative, someone elses dream, i decided to take a stand, and choose how i wanted to live and not how others wished for me to live. I realised i might aswell do it my way, since living by someone elses way had obviously not helped me in any way. in 2019 i became sober, i started meditating, reading and learning, i decided to take holistic means to my health as the medication they were giving me was just making me numb. I found my power, i found my peace, and i found my purpose. Having tried most of the "alternative" healing modalities, Breathwork, meditation and Awareness cultivation practices really brought me to a place of true inner authority. After the grueling task of innner transformation, persistent reading, reflection and contemplation so i could truly embrace who i was meant to be, in 2023 i quit my 9-5 job,I started my first bussiness, today im an entrepreneur, farmer, breathwork fascilitator and most of all, a guide and coach to other men and women who are truly wishing to shift who they are and how they show in the world. I realised that the system is broken, especially for men, i made it my mission to make coaching, guidance, and support accesible to others. The years it took me to change could have been done in a fraction of the time had i found support systems that were tailored to my needs and not just a one stop shop like most therapists and psychologists.
​
Chances are if you see me on the street today and asked how i was doing, my response today is this:
"Its the best day of my life!"
​
(just to let you know how broken our health care system is, i am still on the waiting list for a therapist/psycologist since 2019, even after repeated requests,{edited Nov 2024})
What im currently up to
Currently i have been traveling. As i continue to pursue and deepen my connection to myself striving to break the barriers of my limiting beliefs and limitations, i have been seeking out elders. Taking on training from the indigenous tribes across north, central and south america. Gaining the wisdom on how to live more harmoniously, within ourselves and with the world we live in. I have been following under elders to further my training as to offer more wisdom to my clients, to assist and guide them in a life, truly worth living.
Realising that we are all unique and on a personal path, its been quite magical to watch as my clients grow in their authentic nature.
​
Currently i have been training to be a sweat leader and pipe carrier, this medecine has been a powerful tool to not only challenge myself physically and mentally and to aid in healing, but also another resource to build community with other Souls who are seeking something more out of life. The next journey is to Peru to sit with shamans and medecine leaders to further deepen my roots into traditions that are quickly fading as they become monopolised. A continuous journey of self discovery but most of all Self Mastery, and truly building a life where i cannot wait for the next morning sun to rise, and bask in the gratitude of the fading sun in the evening. Training, learning and growing is a never ending path and always continues so i can better serve humanity.
I have truly realised that serving your self first is the best way into being of service for others.
