The Story Behind the Work
I'm not who you'd expect to be doing this work.
I grew up in a sport and barbecue culture. A pretty traditional bloke in every sense of the word.
I spent 20 years in corporate environments, surrounded by technology, screens, and the kind of always-on culture that most of us just accept as normal.
From the outside, life looked stable and successful. Internally, something was quietly unravelling. There was also this persistent feeling I couldn't shake, that I was meant to be doing something else. That the corporate world, for all it had given me, wasn't where I was supposed to be. And deeper than that, the world as it was being presented to me no longer fully made sense. I just didn't know yet what that something else looked like.
Looking back, the journey to where I am today really started with prolonged exposure to toxic mould in a home I was renting.
For three years I had no idea what was happening. Countless trips to the doctor, a growing list of symptoms, and never a clear answer.
When I finally discovered the source, I had no choice but to walk away from almost everything I owned. I moved out with one bag of clothes. It set me back financially and forced me to start again from scratch.
That experience cracked something open. For the first time I started paying attention to my external environment, what was around me, and how it was affecting my health in ways I hadn't considered before.
I tried the obvious things. Exercise. Cleaning up my diet. Cutting back on alcohol. They helped, a bit. But nothing seemed to reach that quiet background noise of stress that had just become my baseline.
The conventional advice kept pointing to medication. I respect that path for those it helps, but I wanted to find a different way. I wanted to heal myself naturally.
This was when I was first introduced to the idea that there were other ways to support the body. Approaches I would have dismissed just a few years earlier. Something about it resonated, and a door opened that I couldn't close.
After that, life took over. I had two kids, and with that came the beautiful chaos most parents know well. For years I got pulled back into the busyness. The curiosity was still there, but it got pushed to the background.
Eventually, my family and I made the decision to move countries, from South Africa to Australia. The financial reality of that move was significant. Exchange rates, relocation costs, starting over. It almost felt like starting from scratch financially for the second time. Two major resets in a short period. Most people would have pulled back. I pushed forward.
What I didn't anticipate was what the transition would actually feel like.
I became a stay-at-home dad. Something that sounds simple but carries its own quiet weight. The loss of identity, structure, and knowing where you fit. After 20 years of having a title and a place in the world, suddenly having none of that does something to you.
After about a year at home I started running a wellbeing market. It was there that I was first properly exposed to an amazing range of modalities I'd never encountered before. I loved it immediately. Something resonated in a way I couldn't fully explain. I just knew it felt right.
COVID eventually brought it to an end. But what the market gave me was something far more valuable than a business.
It was around this time that I started noticing something I hadn't considered before. It wasn't just my body that had been affected by everything I'd been through. There was another layer to it. My nervous system itself had become increasingly sensitive, and for the first time I started connecting the dots between what was happening in my environment and what was happening inside me, including, amongst other things, a growing sensitivity to electromagnetic fields
As I dug deeper into what I was experiencing, I discovered the growing body of research around EMF and the impact wireless technology can have on our living and working environments.
Having already lived through the impact of one invisible environmental stressor, mould, this resonated deeply. That curiosity led me into formal EMF assessment training through Geovital Academy, where I learned practical methods for evaluating electromagnetic exposures within buildings. I applied what I learned to my own environment, and over time my sensitivities decreased. But the awareness of how much our surroundings affect us never left me.
At the same time, I was continuing to explore the sound, breath, and energy practices that had been part of my own healing journey since the wellbeing market. The more I experienced them personally, the stronger the feeling grew that this was work I needed to share with others.
Today all three are a daily part of my own practice. Not just something I offer others, but something I genuinely live.
The path to formal sound and breath training found me unexpectedly. An EMF client reached out, and when I looked at their profile I noticed they offered something called SoulNar, a therapy combining sound, breath, and energy work.
I booked a session and experienced it for myself. What struck me most was how quiet my mind became. For the first time in a long time, I felt deeply relaxed, calm, and fully present in my body. I signed up to train almost immediately. I didn’t need to think twice. Something about it felt incredibly real and familiar, even though I couldn’t fully explain why.
Once qualified, I realised the breathwork component was foundational but brief. That led me to pursue dedicated breathwork facilitator training so I
could offer both with the depth they deserved.
What followed was unexpected. Not just in terms of the skills I was developing, but in what the work was doing to me personally.
What I discovered through all of it changed everything.
Past traumas began to surface. Things I hadn't realised I was still carrying, and was finally able to release. Limiting beliefs started to crumble. Stuck energy began to shift.
I was sleeping deeper, my mind quieter, more present and less reactive. Clarity and direction returned, slowly but unmistakably.
The shift has been significant. Not because I became someone else, but because I finally started listening to something I'd ignored for a long time.
Today I'm a husband and father of two, based in Hallett Cove, South Australia, doing work I genuinely believe in, with people who are ready to feel different.
Where the Work Comes From
Today I work with clients in Adelaide across two connected areas.
Through EMF assessments in homes and workplaces, I help identify and reduce disruptive EMF influences. The things we can't see but that the body is responding to constantly.
Through sound healing and breathwork sessions, I support the nervous system directly, helping people regulate, reset, and reconnect.
When the conditions are right, both around us and within us, the body naturally moves back toward balance.
Why This Matters to Me
I see it all the time.
I mention what I do and I can read the room instantly. The polite smile, the slight pause, the eyes that say "interesting" but mean "I'm not sure about that."
And then there are the ones who lean in just a little. Who ask one more question. Who are curious enough to want to know more, even if they'd never admit they're actually considering it.
I get it. I was that person.
I don't have a lifelong spiritual background. I have a lived one. I'm not your typical wellness practitioner, and I think that's exactly what makes this work land differently for people who'd normally write it off.
You don't have to have a health crisis, a burnout, or a body that finally forces you to stop before you give yourself permission to try something different. You don't have to hit a wall first. You can just be curious.
If any of this resonates, I'd love to hear from you.
