AN EXPLORER AT HEART

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a curious mind and an innovative spirit. As a kid, I was a rebel and a pioneer who loved to push the limits and lose myself in the creative process: drawing, painting, building models, taking things apart to see how they worked, you name it. Deep down, I think I’ve always known what I wanted out of life. And from the earliest days, I knew that I wanted to be a hockey player.

HEALTH WAS A BIT OF A HARDSHIP

As excited as I was about exploring the world around me, I found myself in a constant battle with my own body. Chronic allergies, asthma, eczema, and skin conditions were a daily source of distress, and my parents took me from specialist to specialist in search of solutions. In the end, I only wound up more heavily medicated. My doctors told me I would be for the rest of my life.

CHASING THE DREAM

At age 17, I left home in California to pursue my lifelong dream of playing college hockey. I spent the next four years traveling around the United States and British Columbia, learning to fend for myself in the competitive world of elite athletics.

HEALING FROM WITHIN

My dream was now a reality, and I was preparing to begin what I hoped would be a successful and illustrious college hockey career. However, in the midst of the hustle and grind, I had pushed my wellbeing aside, and my health was now becoming a more pressing concern. As fate would have it, I was dragged out of the house one morning by my mom and into the office of a traditional Chinese acupuncturist. There, much to the frustration of my inner skeptic, I had an experience that would rock my worldview forever. For the first time, I began to see that no doctor, drug, or anything outside of myself could bring me true healing. Wholeness can only come from within. With this, I managed to turn my health around in just a few short months, tossing aside my assortment of drugs in favor of a more natural approach built around clean eating, right thinking, and conscious living. What’s more, I suddenly had the energy and the motivation to start investing in my own future through books, podcasts, and various other avenues of personal development.

WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES…

Up until this point, I’d been consumed by the pursuit of success and recognition, blinded by the belief that my accomplishments as an athlete could bring me the love and approval I was seeking from others. Maybe then, I convinced myself, I’d finally feel whole and complete. Thankfully, life has a strange way of showing us where we’re not free. My on-ice performance began to suffer, and for the first time in my career I found myself on the bench while those around me enjoyed success. Everything I’d worked so hard for appeared to crumble before my eyes, crashing at my feet in a heap of failure and disappointment. But what I couldn’t yet see was that this rejection was a form of redirection, and that life was asking me to let go so I could make room for something far greater.

THE JOURNEY BACK TO SELF

With my source of external validation now gone, I had nowhere to look but within. And what I quickly realized is that I’d fabricated my entire life in a way that allowed me to impress the people around me and avoid my deepest fears, doubts, and insecurities. I also discovered, however, that the more I examined these wounded parts from a place of curiosity and compassion, the more they disappeared. I began to view my pain from a higher perspective and saw the gifts within my struggles. I realized that mindset alone was not enough to create true change, because our deepest wounds and subconscious patterns are actually stored in the energetic network of the body. I saw clearly that transformation is an inside out game, and that our external reality is nothing more than an outer reflection of our inner world. Most importantly, I started to experience the truth of who I was: an infinite, multidimensional being whose value far exceeds any labels, accomplishments, or the opinions of others. With this, I began a deep study of spirituality, metaphysics, and the ancient healing arts in search of answers to life’s great questions: Who am I? Why are we here? What are we truly capable of creating?

OUR SHARED MISSION

The way I see it, the nature of existence itself is a never-ending dance of giving and receiving. We are each here to receive life’s gifts in the form of experiences and lessons, but I also believe that at the core of every human being is the desire to give: to love freely, to offer our gifts to the world, and to share our experiences for the benefit of others. That’s my goal: to consolidate the knowledge and tools I’ve accumulated over the years in a way that supports you in rediscovering your inherent greatness and connecting with a vision of a future you truly love. It’s an honor to step alongside you as we do this work not just for ourselves, but for the future of our planet and the betterment of all humanity. Thanks for trusting me to be a part of your journey!
