From Survival to Integration My Personal Journey Through Grief, Trauma & Transformation

I haven’t always done this work, but this work has always been calling me.

For years, I was the one everyone leaned on. The martial artist. The coach. The one who held it all together. On the surface, I was successful, strong, and driven. But beneath it, I was carrying a weight I didn’t know how to put down, years of emotional pressure, unresolved grief, and a deep sense of disconnection I couldn’t quite explain.

Then came the life-changing seasons I never expected. I went through profound personal grief, including the death of someone (3 people within 2 months 2019) close to me, and earlier, the painful aspect of divorce (2005), when children are involved. That period cracked me open. Everything I had built, personally, emotionally, and even professionally, felt like it was unravelling. I found myself questioning my identity, my worth, and what was next.

It wasn’t just sadness. It was survival. I became hyper-independent, constantly busy, always trying to fix everything, except myself. I was burnt out, emotionally numb, and silently battling the weight of unresolved emotions.

That’s when I discovered Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT). And honestly, I didn’t just study it — I lived it.

RTT helped me get to the root of what was really going on beneath the surface, the old stories I was still living from, the protective parts of me that were running the show, and the deep belief that I had to carry everything alone. It helped me meet my pain with compassion, rewire my patterns, and reconnect with the real me, the one who didn’t need to prove anything to feel worthy.

From that point forward, everything changed.

Today, I combine RTT, subconscious reprogramming, parts therapy, and mindset coaching to help others go through what I did, and come out stronger, clearer, and more fully themselves. Whether you're navigating trauma, imposter syndrome, burnout, or performance pressure, I meet you where you are and guide you back to who you really are beneath it all.

This isn’t just a profession. It’s personal.
Because I know what it’s like to lose yourself, and I know what it takes to come home again.

Fast forward to 2025, I’m now happily married to my wife Karen, surrounded by the love and energy of our blended family. I live with a deep sense of peace, connection, and purpose, and I wake up every day grateful that I get to do this work.

Today, I help others heal the unresolved pain of their past so they can reclaim their confidence, find emotional freedom, and build a life full of joy, purpose, and deep fulfilment. Whether it's high performers battling imposter syndrome, business owners stuck in burnout, or everyday people carrying childhood wounds, I guide them home to who they really are.

This isn’t just my profession. It’s my purpose.
Because I know what it’s like to lose yourself, and I know what it takes to come home again.
