About

I grew up in small-town New Zealand on a flower farm, surrounded by colour, with my two younger brothers and both parents.

It was an idyllic childhood—until age seven, when my father took his own life. That loss shaped everything: how I saw the world, how I related to others, and how I related to myself. My mother never remarried, so I grew up fast, often feeling like I had to hold it all together for everyone else.

As I moved through life, I found ways to survive. I became a high achiever in the tech world—teaching myself to design and build digital products, freelancing, and launching my own startups. But beneath the success was a deep-seated sense of inadequacy, and a fear of being abandoned. Those wounds showed up most in relationships. I hurt people I loved. Eventually, that pain caught up with me. I had to stop running and face the storm I’d carried since childhood. I was exhausted.

Owning this journey became the turning point.

Over the past years, I’ve gone through deep personal healing—facing patterns I used to avoid, learning to sit with discomfort, rebuilding trust, and reconnecting with who I really am. I’ve become a better father, a better man, and a better human. And I’m still on the path.

Now, I use what I’ve lived through—grief, growth, addiction, repair, resilience—to help others. But this work isn’t only for those in deep pain.

Whether someone is navigating loss, burnout, leadership pressure, relationship struggles—or simply feeling stuck—I offer grounded, compassionate support to help them reconnect with themselves and what matters most.

This work isn’t just professional for me. It’s personal. It’s a way of giving back, and a way of staying grounded in what I know to be true:

We’re not broken—we’re just waiting to come home to ourselves.
