Some types of professional mental health and emotional well-being support doesn't get deep enough in transforming

Welcome to Your Farside

“The Farside” is the quiet, often unknown and unseen landscape within — where pain softens, insights emerge, and wholeness begins to unfold with deep love and true wisdom.

We all collect and carry many stories from our life's journey — some of strength, of struggle, of joy, and sometimes deep hardships, pain, trauma and challenge. The Farside Project exists to support this inward turn and your journey ahead: to help you fully resolve and integrate what’s been and passed, reclaim who you truly are in this moment, and build a more conscious, emotionally connected and deeply resilient life, through the eyes of love and beauty. Whether you’re a partner, parent, or professional, a man exploring their emotional depth, leadership or performance, or someone healing from trauma — I offer highly grounded integrative support, both emotionally and practically, that will help you allign and take action from who you truly are, authentically and confidently. Breathe, live and be in pure present awareness and an unshakeable deep inner peace.

One-to-One Sessions

I work with people in high-pressured roles, overwhelmed by stress, or where the stakes are high. I also work with those who are value-led, or ready for deeper post-trauma processing, recovery and growth. I help people in a variety of ways become better equipped, both emotionally and practically, for living their own life.

I work with people at various levels, whether it's sharing practical tools or life skills for personal, relational, or professional growth, to observational skills training and deepening of awareness, contemplation and self-reflection. I also work at a deeper, somatic level helping people with embodied processing, inquiry or emotional recovery. I offer tailor made sessions based upon my clients unique needs, life situation and circumstances.

Online or In-person.

Ad-hoc sessions, packages of 6 - 10 sessions to 3months + programmes.
I also offer mini half day or full day deep dive workshops and tailored retreats.

Rediscover Yourself. Rebuild What Matters.

What if you no longer had to live unconsciously? What if you didn’t have to keep pushing through life with fear, willpower, or grit — or bouncing between moments without ever feeling real progress? What if you could slow down, take ownership, and actually move towards what matters most to you — with clarity, with care, and with considered conscious purposeful intention and action? How would that feel?

I support individuals who are ready to become compassionate leaders in their own lives. Together, we create space for peaceful pauses — where you can safely learn, grow, and reconnect with pieces of your life, and deeper parts of yourself, that you may have been ignoring, avoiding, or simply unable to see clearly. This isn't because you're useless or broken, it could simply be because you may not have recieved skills for living your life, the tools to become equipped to thrive, or you may have experienced any type of trauma at any point in your life without knowing how to manage such deep pain and hurt. (I've been there)!

This work is not surface-level or hollow.
I invite a safe space for you to open up to the full range of your fully embodied emotional life, and in doing so, to transform how you think, feel, relate, and experience the world around you. If you're truly ready for meaningful inner change, the work we do will ripple outward — positively affecting your well-being, your relationships, and the way you live, breathe, be and lead.

I don’t offer quick fixes or empty optimism.
What I offer is my pure awareness and presence. Deep listening. Truthful compassion. Creative, trauma-informed self-development tools. And a grounded, firm, honest approach for those who are serious about making authentic, lasting change. You'll be supported to discover your own inner resources and solutions — and to develop your direct awareness, strength, and resilience needed to live a life of integrity, emotional maturity, with emotional connection. Your journey begins in the present moment — in stillness, in silence, and in the quiet rediscovery of inner peace.

The Roots.

A secure and nourishing core support system are the roots of where wisdom, emotional depth, maturity, safety, trust, stability, and profound connection flourish.

From the way we connect with our partners and families, to how we feel seen, heard, and valued in our communities — everything comes back to our capacity to form healthy emotional bonds. Whether in love, parenting, friendship, or support networks, it’s our ability to regulate emotions, communicate with maturity, and relate with depth that truly defines the quality of our relationships. I help you explore and strengthen the core of your relational world — from your inner circle outward. Together, we look at the ways you attach, connect, express, and co-regulate with others, supporting you to create meaningful, nourishing, and resilient bonds. Personal & Intimate Relationships - Romantic and long-term partnerships - Close friendships and companionships - Rebuilding trust, connection, and communication Family & Parenting Dynamics - Parent/child relationships (in both directions) - Blended, extended, or non-traditional family systems - Conscious parenting, emotional attunement, and mutually safe, secure attachment Social Belonging & Community Connection - Strengthening peer networks and support systems - Navigating community spaces with authenticity - Cultivating a deeper sense of social belonging Support Through Professional Relationships Trusted professionals often play key roles in our support systems: - Coaches, therapists, mentors - Teachers, healthcare workers, and caregivers

Awake.

With compassionate awareness, explore your direct personal experience whilst learning practical life skills and tools, and become fully equipped for living a mindful life.

Cultivate balance, regulate your emotions, and align your thoughts, beliefs, and values to support lasting mental and emotional well-being. Develop deep self-awareness by learning to rest in the present moment — behind the noise of the mind, within the stillness of your being. It all starts with awareness of the habits of your mind. These habits run at a subconscious level and define the way you think, feel and act in any given situation. Cultivating radical awareness of these blindspots is a crucial first step. Explore how you’re living, managing, functioning, growing, and relating — in every area of life. Through creative reflection and inner discovery, rebuild self-esteem and reconnect with your true worth. Become grounded, courageous, purposeful, and resilient — authentic in your actions, clear in your values, and empowered from within. Learn to breathe fully into life, settle the past, and walk forward with deeper perspectives, compassion, presence and a connection to yourself and others. Build awareness and reflection skills, take conscious action, and live in alignment with what truly matters — beginning in stillness, sustained by inner regulation, and guided by your truth.

Aware.

Increase personal performance and effectivness for thriving and flourishing at work, in a career, business or profession.

If we're not truly understanding how we function — emotionally, mentally or relationally — it could limit how far we grow, connect, or achieve, no matter how driven we are professionally. Real strength begins with self-awareness. Real leadership begins with inner alignment. You may have hit a point of burnout, faced a deep personal shift, or experienced a moment that shook your whole world or identity — and now something within you is calling for more. More clarity. More integrity. More wholeness. Perhaps there’s a quiet whisper that unresolved parts of yourself are affecting not just your personal life, but your work, relationships, and sense of happiness and direction. This is your invitation to explore your internal world — to shift your awareness, regulate your inner environment, and awaken your perspectives, compassiom and potential. Because when grounded, self-aware, and aligned, performance becomes sustainable, leadership becomes authentic, and success, although not guaranteed, it becomes deeply fulfilling.

Alive.

Authenticity, Wholeness & Fulfilment.

Be Awake, Aware, Alive to A Deeper Richer Life and Living On The Farside.

Deep Authenticity, Wholeness and Life Fulfillment are serious practices, and mostly life long learning journeys that integrate within our ever unfolding lives as we age and mature. What would you do if your actions were inspired NOT from insecurities fears or concerns, but are instead inspired from who you truly are? Again and again, we have seen pure beauty once people make that shift. Are you ready to train and expand your observational skills and awareness? Schedule a complimentary call with me and check if we'll be a good match to work together.

Inner Pieces, Heart Talk

Heart Talks is a series of talks, insights, contemplations, and conversations exploring the strength and courage of emotional recovery, self-integration, and the tender work of consciously coming home — to ourselves, to each other, to our lives, and to inner peace — one piece at a time.

I delve into the authentic inner lives of men, the complexities of emotionally connected relationships and unhealthy attachment (as well as the beauty of interconnection and non-attachment), the raw (and highly joyful) realities of parenting, and the deep desire to create a safe, secure, and loving family experience, mixed with authentic child development that will fully equip and skill children to be able to live their own lives with genuine mental health and emotional well-being, without being handed down family traumas or burdens.

You’ll also find reflections on the journey toward beauty, joy, wholeness, and fulfillment; how to become an elite performing athelete in your own life, build meaningful work or a purpose-driven business in today’s world; and how to rediscover balance, growth, and clarity in the midst of under-performance, overwhelm, disconnection, trauma, stress, or burnout.

From surviving to living — from living to thriving
I've observed and noticed core skills, elements and practical tools many of us may not have learned or received that could far better help us to live-our-life-well; I help people of all backgrounds be fully equipped in their own lives, emotionally as well as practically.

1) How to access and manage direct personal lived experience

3) How to be, live and breathe, authentically, in present moment awareness

2) The universal laws of how life works, and the natural principles that guide them

4) Paths of Self-discovery and taking personal agency with wise action in core areas of life

5) Building mutually compassionate relationships that are happy, healthy, safe, secure and connected

The Reality

There's no use pointing fault or blame in any particular directions. Many of us didn't learn and recieve fundimental life skill, tools or emotional awareness or inner resources for guiding us to live and build a consciously aware, healthy, balanced, compassionate and connected life. Without having learned core skills and tools we may find ourselves overly vulnerable, disconnected, or unable to positively manage ourselves, our emotions and our life, or mutually build deeper and richer peaceful connections with others, or be equipped to hold ourselves well enough when our life or relationships isn't flowing well. You're not alone, and it's not one persons or anybodys particular fault. But we can and should seek to mutually connect and communicate peacefully, as well as hold ourselves accountable and responsible for the actions we take, and understand how we best reflect, learn and grow.

The Good News

We can improve the quality of the relationship to our life, mind, heart and lived experience, if we want to. And this alone will have significant impact in all areas of our life, health and well-being. We can also discover many tools and resources that help us to enhance our self and life awareness, we can also design and build our own tools that works for us in our life. Many core skills can totally be learned by anyone willing to learn, train and change the way they are currently thinking, living or being, whatever the background or age - and there's so many reasons as to why someone may wish to learn such positive and profound life changing skills and tools that will enhance the quality of their life, and others. What changes are you wanting to make? What are you looking to achieve? What is it stopping you or holding you back? Are you ready for discovering new ways of seeing, thinking, living and being, enhancing your mental health and well-being, and applying powerful and profound tools that will help you achieve authentic peace, balance and fulfilment?

Who I work with

I work with those who are feeling unequipped, under-prepared, overwhelemed, stressed or frustrated and under-performing in their lives and relationships, and are really ready and prepared to make positive and healthy changes but don't really know where to begin or what lies ahead on that journey. I work with those who have experienced any type or kind of trauma that hasn't yet been addressed, understood or resolved, and have noticed the lasting affects this has been having within their life. I also work with those who have been on any type of personal or professional healing, mindfulness or growth journey for some time, and still aren't fully finding inner-peace or what they are looking for within themselves or their life. Or those who continue getting stuck or lost and unsure where next to turn for support, help or guidance. I work with anyone at any age, stage and phase of life or background who is driven by truth, honesty, authenticity, well-being and living a heart-centred life, with a willingness to explore their own life and lived experience, and is unafraid to evaluate and re-train the way they use their mind and perceive the world, who have the courage of taking considered, wise action towards living a mature, healthy, balanced, compassionate, connected and positive life. Are you ready? I welcome a complimentary meeting to discover if we'll be a great match to work together.

Is February the season of romance in your world? How does this month play out for you? Loved up? Love suffocated? Love knots? Heart broken? Lonely?
💖💞💗💘💝

Having Italian heritage, love is something in my blood. Passion is in my bones. And not shallow. True love. I love, love.

And for years I’ve had to take time to question myself. Is what I feel and experience, true love? The real deal. What do I know about Love? What is true, real love really about?

How to treat a woman well. How to respect and honour the one I’ve chosen and who has chosen me in the dance of life, love and romance. What love do I need to make me feel alive, and yet respected at the same time.

Turns out. Understanding love can be quite a ride and a journey.

So what’s this post really about?

This is really about how, even with the ones we love, we may have some resistances. We each have our protections. Our shields. Our force field. Our barriers. Our walls. 🧱⛔️🛡️For good reasons too! Some may even express through swords and daggers.

How do your boundaries play out for you?

Have you had a look around? Who’s wearing their boundaries, with love?

Often when expressing our boundaries, they may play out in various ways, and so differently for each of us.

From the wall of withdrawal, to the shield of silence or maybe the protection of connection with heightened expanded pace and heat and over communication.

What are they, except protection and projection systems playing out in real time?

What about the one behind these expressed barriers to entry?

Top tip - look past these boundaries. And connect with the actual human person.

How to calm when frustrated. Soothe when sad. Step back when the pressures too much.

How to truly love the one you call your lover. Your partner. Your person.

Until next time, keep it real.
And see past the protection and projection systems. And be human. ✌️🫶⚡️

We’re at that place between almost stepping out from another long winter period, and edging ever closer towards SPRING TIME! 🌱🍃🌿

Can you securely connect and communicate well with your partner?

Because I’d like to offer you this light reflection for you both as a fresh new season approaches.

📝🤲🏼
> Over the past 3 months throughout Winter, what learnings / remembrances has there been, that has brought us even closer?

> what are the 3 things I’m most grateful for about who you are, what you mean to me and what I love about you that you bring into my life?

> what have been the main challenges between us this season? What, if anything right now, can we do to address them ?

Can we chat about them now? Save them for our relational check in date night? Or could we acknowledge them and let go of them together? Or other….

> what, if any, have been the ways we’ve misunderstood, unsettled each other or not fully listened, seen or heard one another? What’s the core need right now? Can we respect and honour? How and when can we pick this back up to look at reconciling these?

> what, if any, have been the ways I hurt you/caused you any unintentional pain or grief through winter?

> what ways have I really made you feel loved, safe and secure?

> How’re we going to approach spring, together?
Where are you at? Where am I at? What’re the main dates to remember? How can we best show up and be there for each other?

Let me know in the comments how your relationships have been thought-out winter - Where are you at?

And what’s your plans for spring? I’d love to hear from you!

Remember and a word of caution - relationally self-sovereign connected relationships require both/all people to have the capacity to hear and feel for one another, and take an interest in each other’s lives. If your relationship is currently asymmetrical/non complimentary, please approach these types of conversations mindfully. Alternatively, drop me a line and let’s chat about getting things on the best track.
⚡️💛

Happy connected relating - to all you wild farsiders out there with love in your hearts and joy in your feet this spring!

It’s a place to share, discover and unpack anything relational, with the main aim and intention of improving all of your relationships you have in your life. (Professional and personal)

Through these sessions, wit different sessions being run throughout the year, you may pick up relational insights, tips, lessons and wisdom, as well as some rich tools and exercises to helping you achieve deeper, richer and happier relationships in your life.

📆 Valentines special

Valentines special is suitable for individuals, couples - those currently in relationships and those who aren’t or are in between.

Anyone and everyone is welcome. Whether your relationship is smooth sailing and perhaps searching for a sounding board or further relational growth, as well as those with relational niggles going on that you’d really like to look at resolving, or if you’re in challenging relationships, stuck, lost or just don’t know what to do.

The session is purposefully designed for rich learning no matter where you’re at and what your relationship is currently like.

Masculinity and Feminism - @bbc @bbcsounds @bbcradio4 this morning on BBC Radio 4 a couple of people were talking about providing men and boys with encouragement to be happy about expressing their masculinity -

In my experience I’ve been quite confused growing up about my own ‘masculinity’

Kind, caring and considerate men who I’ve spoken with about these things (albeit it’s quite challenging speaking about these things) have various underlying fears about expressing masculinity.

There’s many boys and men out there who haven’t really had great role models growing up, both in their Fathers and also Mothers. (Sorry if I come across quite strong on this, it’s up to both fathers and mothers to be raising the men you wish to see in the world) how sons are bonding and treating both their parents, and how both parents respond, may likely be to some degree a great example of how likely it may be the boys growing up and becoming men end up treating other men and woman in their future.

I’d like to see happy men and woman being able to be express who they are, and guided towards their own vision of what men are in the world.

Although , it may take some time to understand who were are in these bodies we have, and how to best care for and treat our fellow brothers and sisters.

what’s your image of a balanced man?

Relational incompatibility.

Have you ever observed incompatibilities within your relationships?

🧩 are the pieces for you aligning well in your relationships?

What if they’re not? What have you done about it? Have you brushed it under the carpet, avoiding and ignoring them and just carrying on regardless? Have you tried to remedy or ‘fix’ and repair them?

Have you fully accepted any incompatibilities that’s at play, and do you both happily and peacefully continue to live, love and learn more from and about each other?

Have you tried to change yourself just to be more compatible for someone else? Or have you tried to change someone else to be more compatible for you?

We’re human, and no doubt this might have been something you’ve either experienced from others relationships, perhaps you’ve experienced this from someone els, or maybe you have observed this sense of some kind of relational incompatibility yourself at some point.

There may be incompatibilities going on…

at home with your romantic partner?

It could be that it’s between your children, and as a loving parent you’re unsure what to do about this?

Perhaps there’s been times with your friends and mate’s?

Perhaps in the workplace with other colleagues or your bosses?

There’s often a lot of dynamics and factors at play.

And incompatibilities may not spell the end or loss of a relationship.

And yet at the same time, it might mean that something might be worth checking in with, exploring and taking a look at changing x, y or z.

And it may also be that there’s no future left in such a relationship.

A reminder - what one persons feeling this, it’ll likely have an impact on the other.

Incompatibilities shouldn’t mean that there’s any nastiness between people. Any of us can have incompatibilities and still express kindness, respect and compassion.🙏🏼❤️

Top Dan Tip -
If you’re currently experiencing incompatibilities - gain clarity by thinking about exactly what you’re truly experiencing, what you’re thinking and what you’re feeling.

And sound boarding these things through with someone may shed extra light on some aspects currently going on.

With best wishes, synergy and soul

Struggling with life?

Where in life are you struggling the most?

In what way is it you’re struggling right now?

In your business? At home? Relationally? With your partner or children? With yourself? Your money? Your family? Your career? Your health? Your wellbeing?

It’s too easy to begin struggling in any areas of life at any point, and to be pulled down by the so much juggling, or with carrying the weight of so much.

Particularly if you’re running your own business, or have demanding roles like those in the uniformed services where day to day there may be a lot going on, including witnessing or experiencing traumas after traumas.

Life can take its toll. Many of us may be carrying a lot, and are walking with a lot.

And that’s before going deep into exploring one’s own childhood.

Here’s just a few tips to be taking life season by season whether things are uncertain, unstable, unsettling, or simply just tough or rough.

And just to add, these tips don’t only apply for those struggling right now. These are tips for everyone, whoever you are, even if life is currently pretty great and treating you well. 🙂

>> Feel. One has to actually feel to be able to take quality steps forward.

>> Learn skills and techniques that regulate your nervous system and yourself emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually…

…what works for one may not for another. With the help of a professional coach/therapist or some personal research and experimenting you can discover what settles your nerve’s best. (I’d be very happy to help you to tune up your own nervous system).

>> Observe. Observe what is actually going on for you at the moment. What are you noticing? What do you notice?

>> Expand awareness. Where are the challenges? Where are there issues? Where are there possibilities? Where are the opportunities?

>> Strategise. How’re you going to keep going and become accountable, particularly if (or when) the going gets tougher?

>> Make a plan. And take action on your plans.

If you’d like to explore a little more specifically about what’s going on with yourself and in your life, feel free to reach out as it’ll be great to chat.

With synergy and soul!
Stay real.

Men allying with women - men, are you listening, and a clear ally with women in your workplace, or at home with your partner?

I’m calling for a little help to find people to support me putting together a workplace programme / course for companies and organisations about how men can become better allied with women at work and at home. (At leadership level and work force).

Would anyone be available for a conversation with me to help me understand the specific challenges men and women face when communicating, building workplace relationships and working together, and the desired outcomes - a little insight from you will help me further shape this programme/course.

I’m looking to deliver this in 2026 - and to also find HR reps, learning and development teams, procurement buyers within companies and organisations. Can you help? Do you have anyone in your contacts or network who might be interested in a conversation?

Police, prison, NHS, public sector workplaces etc - and also private business and corporations through to small and medium enterprises.

Any help to get this off the ground and being delivered would be very much appreciated! Thank you.

Dan Silvestri.

What value is there for compassion in business, and as a business leader?

How do you cope and manage with change?

Today's the last official meeting of the year 1 year business group programme I've been leading, named the Soul Inspired Business Support Club - for those who are in their early years of business and being their own boss - who want to hit the ground running by giving themselves the best opportunity for their business to thrive through learning new skills and gaining business tools, and who also wish to gain a business commitment to not be lonely on their business journey, sharing valuable experiences, insights and tips with others in business.

this programme couldn't have been possible had it not been amazingly sponsored by leading life and busy business coach Rasheed ogunlaru. (thank you)!
@rasheedogunlaru

Today’s session will be slightly different, in that we’re going to be exploring and unpacking Compassion within our businesses and lives.

We’ll also be covering change, and how it is as business owners we cope, or are coping with change, and how we manage change - within ourselves, any areas of our lives, and of course with being in business.

It's been an incredible year leading this business group, and I'm looking forward to continuing working with this group for a second year in 2026 too.

There is also going to be another programme running in 2026 for up to 12 business owners.

Applications for the business programme are NOW OPEN - please be in touch if you'd like further information or send me your email using the link below and I'll be in touch with you.

Today I'm at The British Library @britishlibrary
@businessandipcentre with @rasheedogunlaru
and @thebodycoach - and I'm looking forward to meeting people and hearing about their new businesses

I'll be sharing and talking a lot about my Soul Inspired Business Support Club - which supports start up entrepreneurs across a full 1 year period during the early stages of their business - business owners that are a part of this unique business club gain valuable business skills, insights and tools that support them to succeed and thrive in business.

The unique aspect of the group is that I create a small and intimate, close and supportive community with other founders in the club. Each person feels safe to share their ideas, gain different perspectives, tips and learn from everyone's insights and experience along the way.

My motto is that - People thrive together! and that's what's at the heart of this business club.

I'm really proud of what I've been creating with this business group, and seeing those I've been supporting this year gaining amazing value from the business club! - It's designed and created from real world business experience, and what I wish I'd had when I was 18, and starting out in my very first business.

The group has been compassionatly sponsored by Rasheed.

Start Up Day 2025
Today's event will be streamed online >>

Hey! Are you 30-something?

And are you a partner, a father, a high-achiever or peak performer?

I'm curious to learn how you're doing at this time of life?

🤔 🗣️
How's your awareness, of all your key responsibilities?

How's your self-esteem and leadership, for being held and staying accountable, whilst holding others accountable at the same time?

And how're you taking self ownership? Over yourself and your life, whilst showing up a and being the person you want to be for those around you?

Are you currently swimming in so much?

Or are you through some of the worst times, and finally found a sense of groundedness in your life and have something to share for others?

I'd like to support those through complex, nuanced, emotional or challenging times in their life - so they can show up as best they can to be the partner, father, leader and peak performer they can be!

We can manage.
We can process.
We can hold.
We can carry.

Let's have a chat. 🤙🏻

Best wishes,
Dan.

Relational Roots Contemplations...

it may at some point be wise asking oneself...

...am I in a relationship or partnership?
- what's the difference, and what do I really want?

It's a subtle distinction - and it may be an important one that could also save many heartaches.

•••

when we define for ourselves and share with our significant other, just what we're looking for in love and within a close and committed relationship, it can cut through a lot of noise and perhaps help to cause less stress or mess later down the line.

Why? Because spending some time to deeply define all our relational do's and don't, with what we will and won't put up with etc - provides greater opportunity to shape (or re-shape) any type and style of relationship we're in with far greater respect and compassion.

And during those deeper times, when things are perhaps ebbing and not flowing, or if an emotional capacity or loving connection has been stretched, maybe just maybe, it'll be more possible to take wider steps to the side, deeply breathe and listen, and begin to express and respond from a deeper space - moving past surface reactions, miss-understandings and unhelpful patterns and cycles of relating.

•••

what is it you're wanting in romantic love, a relationship or a partnership? What are the differences for you?

I deeply believe in co-creating together, supporting one another and moving through life with greater peace and ease - whilst also having lots of great fun, laughter and enjoyable memories to fondly look back on along the way!

I help couples define for themselves, their own differences in love, and to discover a deeper sense of love to be on the right track and best paths forward, that work for them and their lives.

- for those who want for an enjoyable, loving and kind relationship, whilst building a commited safe and steady, stable partnership - together.

Respect. Honour. Dignity.

How’s your home life and relationship really doing right now?

Would you consider your partnership to be healthy, well attuned and connected? Or more towards distant, uncertain, stuck or blocked? Unknown or in between?

It’s natural for relationships to ebb and flow - typically closeness comes and goes. However, if there is a deeper trusting connection, great communication, bond and commitment a deeper connection would certainly remain consistent and stable, even with 'life and personal stuff' going on.

Sometimes, these deeper connections aren't just a given. It can take a little effort and work to bring forward a deeper level of trust, love and connection with our partner.

We have to WANT to love the person we've chosen to be with to even stand the possibility of being in a long term healthy stable and committed relationship with them.

Have you unpacked what a secure relationship might be like, for you?

What about a stable relationship?

A relationship that's loving and kind in all the ways you both might like or want?

What are your ideas and ideals about what a healthy relationship might be like, for you?

What qualities and traits, and even pitfalls, do they have?

What qualities, traits and pitfalls do you have?

I've heard many people now are facing so many relationship challenges.

> Money worries
> Miss-communication
> Sex drive
> Work/life balance and stress
> Attachment and bonding challenges
> Trauma
> Neurodiversities

I think it's important that if we want to be in happy, healthy and fulfilling relationships, that we spend some time reflecting and rediscovering how to be the partner we want to be, and how we can support one another in this endeavour.

If your relationship is going through some tougher times, or relationships don't seem to really take off for you - let's have a chat, figure it out and work through how to get your relationship on the best track.

I coach individuals and couples to be better equipped for a deeper kind of secure love, close connection and with how to have healthy forms of communication.

I also support and assist parents and families.

Are you a mindful leader of your own life? Are you trying to be?

Are you someone looking for fulfilment and progress over ego and success?

It might be vital, for many areas of your life, to learn how to become deeply present and aware of yourself and your life.

Being deeply present and aware isn't just about becoming present moment by moment (even though training in this skill area is highly beneficial).

Deeper presence and awareness is also about being present and aware, day by day.

Week by week.

Month by month.

Season by season.

Year by year. (repeatedly)

Because when reflecting on ourselves and our lives - zooming in moment by moment to zooming out year by year along with everything in between - a larger field of perspective and vision becomes open, and greater wisdom is gained.

Building a 'Deeper Life' life is about recognising patterns and cycles within ourselves and our lives and making conscious choices, from wiser decisions, to breaking the unconscious loops of suffering that keep us locked up and limited - and instead provide us an invitation to move towards the pleasures of happiness.

All of this can support us in making meaningful decisions through to the shaping and re-shaping of our lives, in the ways we want - and that are also deeply considerate of others.

The first step is committing onself to the deeper decision of being a mindful and considered leader of our own lives. (and then of course taking appropriate actions).

The first step can of course be the most confusing, challenging or scary.

Sometimes, we may not even feel we have a choice but to take brave and courageous good long look at ourselves in the mirror - (or the mirror of a reflective partner, ie coach/therapist/professional/friend/partner/child etc).

Either way, a meaningfully considered life = a happy, peaceful and fulfilled life.

Today is a beautiful day.

the way the sunshine is shining.

How the sun's hitting the body first thing this morning.

And how the rays are penetrating deeply under the surface and down into my nerves.

Nothing to be nervous about today

Nothing to be sending my senses into over drive.

the day ahead is busy - but with a deep feeling like this - todays tasks can be achieved one by one.

not slowly, simply effectively and efficiently in time with the weather, with the clouds and nature.

slowing down to be in time with the moment doesn't mean one is slow.

one is merely purely present with the day.

even when in work mode. this experience of life is one that if it could be like this every day - whilst still maintaining paying the bills and the lovely treat here and there - I might just look back on my life and have a deep sense of achievement.

Leaders have to lead from a place of stillness and to remain centred and have their personal and professional life well balanced - so their full range of awareness can be attuned and sharp.

Leaders lead not because they want control or manipulation of this or that - but because they're qualified to being human - and understand humans deeply - that means from the internal challenges that humans face, as well as the external injustices, disparities and prejudices.

Are you 30-something? What have you learned and sussed out about yourself and your own life so far?

Are you who you think you are, and who you wanted to be?
Are you where you wanted to be?

Who are you, as a person?
Where are you currently developing and growing as a person?

What are you currently learning? What areas in your life may require extra attention and effort?

Given how things are and have been -

who you are, where you are, and how you've been living -

and where you wanted to be and wanting to be -

what are you currently doing and how are you currently building your life, today?

- what is the next 3, 5, 10 years tradjectory looking like?

How robust are you and is your life to weather the ups and downs and sidesteps along the way to where you wish to be in the years to come?

"We're only travelling in one direction. How we move in that one direction will make all the difference between pain, suffering and hardships or ease, peace and flow."

What is self-talk?

From a perspective of personal well-being, how important is it to get the chatter inside tuned up in the right ways?

From a relational stance, how important is it to get all the chatter inside working effectively?

At work or in business - this internal chatter and our home life can dictate professional outcomes.

Coming back time and time again to the very core, and simple basics, lies true wisdom.

And trusting just enough, deeply inside, lies true love.

pressure, stress, trauma or grief....

our mind will most of the time be bursting with all sorts.

tending to our own internal chatter is a sure fire way to any past recovery and future growth.

💛⚡

Emotional education is a field that is like no other. Trauma... do you know trauma?

I was brought up in a home built on lies and manipulation, various types of abuse then abandonment - I've studied, and I now serve to help people with their trauma - and I'm not even skimming the surface!

Learning how to love our closest, and how to be loved by others is all up for grabs in the deepest education there is, in how to live our life, work morally and ethically, how to build intimate loving and kind relationships and raise children in the best ways possible.

When we learn a thing or two about trauma, to observe and educate ourselves just a little bit about trauma - and perhaps take a little glance at our own - it's surprising how we talk so little about this 'thing' we've decided to call, name and label 'Trauma'.

This label of trauma, as simply as I can put it, is nothing more than an invisible battern we pass between us along our journey. No one can say or define this for us. It's personal to us. I've mostly learned that we all have to find our own way, in the serious depths and sensitivities of wrong doings. Balanced with laughter and playfulness.

If we hold onto this invisible battern for a little moment, we can hold it and make a better consciously concerted effort and choice not to unconsciously pass more hurt and pain to our loved ones, children or strangers.

Sure, it's sometimes easier to shout, snap, raise our voice, shut down, withdraw, control, manipulate and give away this energy quickly so we don't have to deal with it.

What power and responsibility we have with such an invisible battern that shapes and moves every single one of us and our lives in different ways.

We're only kidding ourselves to not take a moment to look at our own trauma and this affect on others.

And, somewhere deep down, we know it too.

If we're willing to look slightly deeper, and we're honest with ourselves. We can become aware.

And we can change. We can become responsible, reliable and mature in the face of our own or others traumas coming up to the surface.

Could being responsibly responsive, instead of reactive build more loving trust in your life and relationships?

Last month's business support club meeting, there was a lot of talk around intuition, in high stakes business decisions, and in life decisions.

It was such a great group conversation to unpack, share and to listen to various experiences and wisdoms around this subject.

The main conclusion.

Radically Trust Intuition.

Would you agree?

"Only when we connect with our own intuition, do we discover our deepest truths.

What do 16 - 26 year olds mostly have going on, personally? And what does their position in this world, and trajectory in England, currently look like?

What would you like to hear or see from a 16-26 year old?

What would you share to someone in this pocket of life?

To every young person here that I know and who knows me, I've thought of you, and I do think of you.

There's all kinds of highs and lows through this stage of life. And many many factors that will affect things personally and through this stage of life. So much to explore and discover! So many experiences yet to learn and grow from!

How this all happens and plays out for each person individually, for better or worse, would be anyone's best guess.

It may seem easier to ride the highs when all things are going well, but there can still, deeply, be challenges going on. It's so natural for there to be some deeper challenges through the highs.

And also so much in and through life can be really rotten, and so so tough! If there's been an early wake up call for you about the realities of unauthentic people and life, you'll know what I'm talking about.

No matter how complex, naunced or tough anything is or becomes, there's always a way forward. And the many exciting things yet to come and learn along the way.

A single piece of advice for any young person - be sure to have at least 1 close person in your life who can connect with you on a deeper level.

Or some professional help from a therapist/coach. It really is the most strongest thing you could do. No signs of weakness AT ALl.

Someone who will hear you, empathise, listen to you. Someone who you trust, who won't give up on you and is willing to be in the mud when things are tough.

Most importantly, that they help you hear and listen to help you be with yourself and your life in the best ways possible.

Building your own self-awareness, internally and externally, is the super skill for life that will continue giving back and back.

Many pro athletes, business people, artists and performers have someone by their side. Because we all need someone that helps us be and show up in the best way we can. 🤙🏻

zero shame in that.

How we express ourselves emotionally on the outside often reflects the emotional relationship we’re having with ourselves on the inside.

This may show up directly, or sometimes through our protective patterns, maybe with our sword and shield protecting our heart.

I was supporting a family at the end of last week, two parents in distinguished leadership roles who brought their work related stress and fatigue into their family home, and vice versa, all without an awareness of the impact their behaviour was having to those around them and the emotionally abusive loops that have become such patterns in their lives.

The bottom line, their personal stress levels were affecting their own mental clarity, resilience and personal well-being. And they'd not had anyone share how trauma works for them.

Subsequently, they weren't surfing the waves of their own lives and each others, together.

Disconnected from themselves and one another, their lived reality was being in a relationship that was full of suffering, and unfortunately affecting their children's lives in the cross fires.

They'd not been shown or learned the compassionate and empathetic skills, tools or resources to understand how to deeply connect and open up with themselves in a way that's also loving, kind and trauma supportive of one another and their family.

Why? So many reasons! Ultimately they've not had or felt what a compassionate support system around them could be like. And to some degree, they're not ready for that yet.

They've not felt ready to step into the reality of their life and lived experience, and to look towards changing it for the better.

It's a step too big.

So they're out at sea on their own.

If we're truly wanting to engage in better quality and attuned relationships with our partner and children, we may have to re-learn how to be aware of what it means to be lovingly and kindly attuned with ourselves - from the inside out and bottom up - re-learning to become the quality partner and parent it is we wish to see and feel for ourselves, and making the conscious change.

This begins with a level of internal understanding of ourself. And being prepared to open up inside.

What are the ways you're either resolving or managing your stress, your trauma, your grief?

📨💻📲👇🏻

It was great getting a chance be amongst people in Sherborne community today, to listen and share and reflect together.

I'd been in great conversations with people, and getting to hear the stories about how we were told to just get on with it, so we do, all the way to what it's like right now with those who are going through a lot and managing the day to day, through to those who are walking lightly, with a great authentic smile even though they've been walking and living with 20+ years of deep deep grief. 💛🙏🏼

Beautiful to see you Sherborne!!

Would you like to learn the art and skills of meditation with me?

Learning meditation skills requires discipline, dedication, practice.

Learning the art takes curiosity, courage, humour.

I came to learn meditation because my life wasn't working for me. And I was unable to get my life to work. I'd been stuck, lost and suffering for a long time. Yet, I'd find such a deep peace, comfort, strength and reassurance in those who authentically practiced meditation.

I certainly needed a piece of all that!

I took the plunge and stepped away from the books and jumped fully into the world of meditation. I dedicated myself to my practice.

It took some time to discover true masters of the craft, and the right mentors to be able to learn from. Meditation seems to have been lost as a language here in the west. Reassuringly, many are re-discovering this lost way of being, including Western science.

Learning how to relieve and resolve my own stress and anxiety in itself was a profound step.

I continued to deepen my practice. And discovered many others along the way who were also deepening their practice. Learning in groups and in community settings was really helpful!

I love teaching other people these skills who need them in their lives because there's nothing else quite like being able to become 'still' in ones own mind and body.

Or to enjoy the peacefulness in one's own being, especially when all else around might be very noisy or chaotic.

To be able to walk through this world being very centered and present is a gift. And having the skills and qualities to manage and know what to do when life's not working is a privilege.

Meditation for me is my hidden armour. My heart remains open, but nobody will be able to mess with me and my head or life again.

💛 🧘🏻 ⚡

Meditation begins with simple to learn exercises and steps that anyone can learn. This provides a flavour of things.

And if it feels weird, or meditating doesn't seem to be your thing, that's okay. Meditation is an accumulative practice. It can take time, or the right teacher or set of teachers to deeply experience the benefits it can bring for you in your life.

PS 👇🏻

I'm reminded today about how so much of our future begins with the profoundly simple skill of being able to have and hold a VISION.

In leadership positions I've had in the past, my career was all about A VISION.

Vision is so much, and then a little more, and some more...

I'll chat to you more about this soon in an upcoming video. 👀

For now, please keep reminding yourself of YOUR VISION!

If you're a leader, a business owner, a parent, or any type of person who is values-led - it's so important to hold your vision close to your heart - especially when your head may be elsewhere.

I've been lucky to have been mentored by such great visionaries, and have friends that I've grown up with. I'd not be who I am today without them. Do share your vision with others - allow for them to step forward and help you make your VISION come to life and be something in this world.

We can't do any of this all alone. And we can't keep putting too much of ourselves out there without a mutual helping hand.

Check oneself - am I offering too much, and receiving very little? Or am I receiving a lot, and what am I contributing in return?

Our technology has made the world appear much smaller by the day.

Sure passing it on elsewhere is nice and samaritan like - but so is returning it back.

Notice who's feeding and watering you and feed them too!

Until next time - with kindness,
Dan. ツ

If there was one key life skill I'd wish I'd learned far earlier in life - it would be my observational skills.

And if all children learned how to observe a little smoother and cleaner from us adults, I certainly envision a very different world in generations to come.

What's your thoughts?

Are you currently developing your own observational skills?

How is your observation serving, hindering or of a disservice to you?

In what areas of life are you currently observing where there's stress or challenges going on?

Are you facing your stress and challenges on your own, or do you have a well equipped support system in place?

Are you observing challenges at home, in your relationship, at work or personally?

Are you experiencing children or family related discomfort or challenge?

Are your personal circumstances/situation/dynamics complex or nuanced and tough to manage by yourself or between you and your partner?

Have you work or business related stress going on? is your performance suffering? Are you discovering people related challenges?

Do you have a healthy support system that helps you reflect and work through your current situation and observations, skillfully?

Let's be real - often, problems suppressed, hidden or avoided don't just go away. 🤷

I'd be happy to chat anytime. 🤙

Only when observing in silence, and listening beyond surface noises.

Does one notice a light beginning to flicker, and all the whispers that wish to speak from within.
• the mystery •

I've been getting old.

Deep privilege really is having the right people by our side.

The ones who care for our mind, our emotional well-being, our peace and our growth - as much as their own.

I was reminded of this during a deep, honest café conversation with two strangers who were self-aware, loving, real.

We talked about life behind closed doors… and it hit me.

Compassionate support, presence, love - that's the kind of privilege that truly shapes and makes us.

It’s priceless. And it ripples outward.

Sometimes to reach this at home and in our private lives we may require professional support systems that can help us to see and explore parts of ourselves and pieces of our lives.

To help us think about our own visions for a meaningful life, how to build healthy relationships, how to set and manage our goals and to learn new skills and effectively managing ourselves whilst on the way to building and shaping our lives in the best way we can.

It takes a lot of courage and energy to be coached, and begin actually thinking and contemplating about our lives - but the wins are certainly worth it that's for sure.

#deepprivilege #emotionalsupport #emotionalwealth #Healingtogether #presenceispower

Many games in life to play. Much to contemplate which ones to play, and how to play them, eh!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ What're you contemplating at the moment? Anything weighty or sticky on your mind or heart that you're working on, working towards or working through?

How're you, today?

Mindful decision making might not always be a clean, pure or as simple of a task as it may seem at first glance. Particularly if there's any emotion or high-stakes involved.

A few mindful decision making tips;

1. Contemplate with compassion and kindness (heart and head connected)
2. Gather up your real, true, open and honest thoughts only
3. Create the space to make decisions as consciously as possible

Making decisions may more often than not mean compromise. And sometimes, it may mean there's some trail marks that are going to be left behind.

My final and deepest tip for the day - make moves with as little trail marks (pain, hurt and grief) left behind you as humanly possible, either for yourself or anyone else. 🙏

Decisions made with consideration are some of the only ways we can look to keep doing the best we can - and moving forward to where we're wishing to be, whilst playing the games we're wishing to play as compassionately as possible.

If you (or anyone you know) is contemplating on any kind of decision - it may be highly sensitive, or there may be a lot at stake (not just practically or financially, but also emotionally too) - and there's some value and benefit from having a professional partner to contemplate deeply with in a peaceful place, I would love to support and help you to make your decisions as wisely and as best as you can. (however deep, complex, nuanced or challenging).

It may be a business, work or leadership related decision, perhaps a decision you're making for yourself, or a couples decision or family decision you can't quite find a solution or resolution with.

I'm taking on new clients - and you can schedule a call with me on my website, farsideproject.co.uk

Or email me dan@farsideproject.co.uk

Let's reflect together.

In the above video we talked about;
Safety | Trust | Presence | Observation | Regulation

---

In coaching, therapy, parenting (and leadership) we talk a lot about presence, trust, and connection.

But behind all of that… is nervous system safety.

If we can’t co-regulate and deeply connect with those around us - especially with our children, our partners, or our customers and clients, real human connection becomes very difficult to sustain.

Before entering an intimate relationship, when raising children or choosing family life, before building a business or hiring staff we must really learn how to embody safety.

It's important that we understand ourselves as best as we can, that we can be a place of pure safety, of trust, of a grounded anchor for others around us.

We can't fake that. It's earned through authentic self-care and self-development of one's well-being and self-worth.

Discover your mentor, your coach or therapist, someone who is going to compassionately and authentically be on your side and champion you to be who is it that you know you can be, and help you to step into the person you are.

What are you doing if you're feeling the weight of your own childhood experiences coming forward and impacting your experience of life in ways that doesn't actually align deeply with who you are, and who you know yourself to be?

I became so frustrated that my childhood experiences and family home life led to a traumatic time as I entered the world as a young adult. (oh the suffering)!

I recognised very quickly that I was struggling to trust people. I struggled to find people who had emotional maturity and empathy to understand what I was going through. My family broke the chains of safety in a large way with me. And this was the perfect breeding ground for a slippery downwards slope to very poor mental health, emotional, developmental and relational challenges.

Breaking the chains from our past is not easy.

I had zero options. My life wasn't working for me. And I recognised if I didn't break the chains of my past, my own romantic relationships and future children would also suffer like I had.

Thankfully, I've been someone who's dreams and wisdom provided me with a very strong inner vision in what emotionally connected relationships should be like, whether with our family, friends, romantic relationships, and most importantly - with our own children!

I discovered I'm not alone. These dreams I have are also dreams others shar and work towards. It's through developing my own wisdom that's really helped me make leaps and bounds to develop emotionally, and build far healthier and happier relationships. (a large part of my work today helps others develop their own loving, kind and healthy relationships with themselves and others).

What becomes unresolved or internalised simply becomes a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.

Maybe this is a little extreme. But I'm a guy who's anger issues (and many other challenges) began taking over my life and relationships.

I internalised much of my emotions, and without an understanding of how to help myself, I simply felt like I became a living time bomb.

No more. 😊 🕊️ 🔆

I've a wealth of experience in what to do when something isn't working, if there's a sense of 'stuckness', or where something is needing to change.

Group coaching is an incredible way to see that your business flourishes from having a dedicated close team of people to tap into whether there's decisions to be made or challenges to overcome, and led by myself with extra support from @rasheedogunlaru and Rasheeds incredible Soul Trader approach, I'll be utilising coaching tools and skills that'll be sure to keep you on track!

Plenty of sharing and listening, many perspectives and experiences will be available throughout the year that could become invaluable for you.

It was so great to see an old friend @martinharleymusic last night passing through my local area with @markylewis at a fantastic venue @thedavidhallsp - feeling all the energy in the room with others who were captivated in the music with eachother is what I love about live gigs!

I think Martin Harley is a truely incredible talent when it comes to song writing, performance and speaking deeply to the soul through his art and heart - a completely underrated artist.

Thanks my friend.

Are you in love with - who you are - in your relationship, or who you're wishing to be?

Let's be real, and say that when we're past the euphoria, healthy, happy, fulfilling relationships rarely come along in such a way all wrapped up nice and neatly in a box. 🎁

But how much awareness, energy, intention are you investing into your closest relationships?

We can't really run away or hide from our emotions, thoughts, behaviours (and from our vulnerabilities) if we're engaging in relationships.

Well, we can and many do, but dig deep enough and they'll often be toxic, unhealthy, or unstable - at best! Ouch!

The key word is 'active'. And how much we're willing to prioritise showing up and actively engage in our relationships.

Without active engagement or participation to know or understand your supposed lover, expect for there to be a best before date...

... but does it matter how well our closest relationships are functioning?

I'd say it matters - a lot. Perhaps more than we may think. But I'd let you be the judge of that one.

Relationships may far too often be a double edged sword. Escaping lonelyness, longing for connection - and this becomes highlighted!

If we're relationship type of people, here are 3 tips to help you connect deeper this Christmas, and begin actively showing up in your relationship.

1. Make the time, create the space, set the intention to actively connect and listen to one another on deeper levels
1. Actively share your emotions, thoughts, fears with one another
2. Actively express emotions safely with one another

🎄Give yourself and your partner the gift of active presence and a desire to connect on deeper levels, on a level of true love, connecting heart to heart.

And share with me your success stories! drop me a DM or an email.

I love hearing how others connections and relational health is improving, just because they are actively participating and showing up in their partners and loved ones lives.

And in turn just what a difference this make to one's work, performance, mental health, and wellbeing.

Relational Life is to be lived in deep love, joy, connection, and healthy intimacy!

'Peace at Home,
Peace in Nature.'

this time of year can be wonderful, but I've had various conversations this past week where Christmas can also bring a lot up to the surface. I've had horrific Christmas' in the past that have left scars, I deeply understand year on year what a challenging Christmas is like, and it's why this time of year my Advent Gratitude is such a useful antidote to deep challenges over the festive period! 🙏🏻💛⚡

If the journey is currently rough, or has been beyond tough, it's true that there may be some deep effort and potential discomfort to come, however, also on the other side can be peace... peace can most certainly become discovered and realised. 🙏🏻

If there are circumstances or current challenges beyond what you're able to work with alone, or with your closest and trusted circles, this is where discovering a professional coach, therapist, or practitioner, who deeply see's who you are may be a powerful next step.
Someone who believes in you and your potential!
⚡⚡⚡

Some top tip gifts from me to you...
1. If there's one gift to yourself this Christmas - begin to build that deep well of gratitude for you and your life.

2. Begin to plan and strategise for your 2025 - look ahead at what your next year could become with a little extra thought...

3. Reach out to others. Check for community events or groups running over the festive period.

(if you're lucky to be local to Sherborne, the amazing coffee shop @bean_shot_coffee are opening their doors for a short period on Christmas day for some delicious mince pies and coffee)!

'the journey.'

oooouch, yeah, lifes journey can be so rough, so tough, and at times so painfully - shit. 🙏🏻 that's before getting into how cruel life's journey can be, how disruptive, how confusing... need I go on?

The trouble is, negative mindsets haven't worked out very well for me. Whichever way I've looked at it, life is an ever moving journey, and I'd rather enjoy the journey feeling connected, fulfilled, and happy!

And thankfully at the end of the day there's only one driver - ourselves.

...and once being able to get my life on track, post being in downward spirals of darkness for most of it, I've come to truly and deeply appreciate the journey of life. 🙏🏻⚡

3 quick tips to kick start, or restart and refresh, your life's journey for the new year...

1. Become clear about your own life in this present moment, pause, breathe and reflect on where you've been, and then plan and lay out your journey ahead.

2. Adding to your plan, begin understanding how you wish to travel en route to your destination(s). What might you be needing for yourself along your journey? What might your journey itself require?

3. Take action, begin to take your initial immediate next steps.

And above all else - remain centred and grounded, hold your head up, and look to enjoy your time compassionately journeying through this life with an abundance of gratitude. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

My Compassionate Approach

My approach addresses both the emotional depths and practical realities of your life.

I offer a deeply compassionate and mindful approach, integrating practical tools with profound emotional understanding to guide you from healing stress, tensions and trauma towards lasting health, well-being and meaningful growth – whether it's personally, professionally, or with your connection, attunement and flow with others and the world around you.

I'm an ICF Accredited Personal Performance Life Coach, IAPCP Accredited Hypnotherapist Practitioner, and a Professionally Trained and Mentored Facilitator specialising in Integrative Trauma Therapy, Mindgulness and Meditation.

I meet you with stillness and silence and a grounded present-awareness. I provide bespoke immersive and integrative experiences from meditation and breathwork through to full creativite skills sessions and mindful self-discovery, along with various tools, resources and more to support you with the practical realities of your life.

My aim is to empower clients to navigate their life with profound consideration, inner kindness, courageous authenticity, along with an ability to naturally flow, enabling people to be fully equipped for taking agency and action in their life, and realising their long-term personal and professional vision.

My work often begins with discovering inner-peace and emotional regulation, self-awareness, self-care and mindful balance, compassion and consideration.

Known for my intuitive, compassionate, and deeply empathetic nature, I bring a unique and gentle presence to our work. I do not deal with ego stroking or mind games, so I can also appear to be firm, formal and direct at times.

I'm unafraid to explore the nature or depths of clients lived experience, and offer stable and direct guidance and coaching as we navigate your path towards lasting transformation and a truly heart-led life.

My Story

I was born into a family-run business, and my own journey took me from humble beginnings to the helm of several busy, chaotic and highly stressful businesses. Little did I know I would fall victim to family fraud and a long journey ahead piecing together the fractured puzzles of my mind, heart, health, well-being, work, life and relationships.

I fought long and hard to get myself and my life back on track, but beneath the surface, I grappled with the profound impact of childhood stress, along with a series of life events that left me under the weight of severe trauma and suffering with PTSD.

I'm deeply thankful that I have my mental health, emotional well-being and life on track - and I truly believe you can too!

Today, I'm dedicated to serving others, offering an integrative trauma-informed blend of therapy with coaching and compassionate mindful-awareness. I'm unafraid to get stuck in and help others resolve any size or type of issues, release deep burdens, or discover inner peace and freedom – I'm passionate about equipping my clients for a fulfilling and succesful road ahead, long into their future!
