A little about John
I've worn many hats in my life. I've built interiors for fancy boats, designed products, managed a yoga studio, and even worked in insurance. During all this time, I found myself getting sick a lot, with chest infections that kept me bedridden. A decade ago I became tired of the so-called "relief" I was receiving from Western medicine and I decided to begin a journey to explore alternative ways to heal.
I'd tried all manner of healing modalities from kinesiology to reiki to Ayahuasca. The more I did the work the more I desired to share it, but nothing I’d experienced so far felt quite right. I’ve always been a firm believer in two things. That facilitators need to embody what they preach, and that healing modalities should leave the individual feeling empowered, and in all I’d tried, something was still missing.
By some wild coincidence, I discovered Owaken breathwork and signed up for one of their workshops. The sessions were hugely profound, the same level of experiences I’d had with Ayahuasca through my breath, and at a level I felt I was actually able to comprehend and integrate into daily life. The more sessions I did the more I saw shifts, both in my internal and external world. My relationship with myself was improving, as was that of my relationships with those around me. I felt healthier, and more empowered to be myself, and started to feel a sense of fulfilment in my life for the first time. Breathwork was the first time I felt like, this is it, this is how we change the world. So not long after, I become a trauma-informed facilitator, after an intensive 9-month training with Owaken.
I now feel blessed to be offering other individuals the opportunity to feel the same level of expansion and self-empowerment that I gained through my journey. It brings me great joy to create a safe, loving environment in which you feel safe and comfortable to bring all parts of yourself.
Together we can work through any limiting beliefs or past that are keeping you from the life that you so deserve to live.
