A Journey from Living in Despair, to Gratitude for Every Moment

Hey, I’m Nigel. My childhood was simple and happy enough, but by my teenage years, life threw me some serious curveballs. I didn’t have the tools to handle them, so I spent years riding the roller coaster of highs and lows. Fast forward to two kids, a broken marriage, and a career full of wrong turns, and I was left feeling shattered, desperate, and totally lost.

​

A severe anxiety attack finally pushed me to seek help. A doctor diagnosed me with depression, and I was hopeful that I’d found a way out. But what followed was a frustrating maze of antidepressants, therapy, hypnosis and other various treatments, none of which touched the root of my pain. I spent years in a kind of limbo—trying to change but never fully committing, unsure of which direction if any, would actually work. All the while I smiled, I laughed, but underneath, I felt lost, alone, and pushed myself toward increasing isolation.

​

There were two major catalysts that sparked my journey out of this pit. The first was something unexpected—during my time working at a hardware store called Bunnings, I created a process called Alchemy Art, inspired by watching paint tins explode with magical swirls of color before being mixed into a drab off-white. Creating these pieces took me out of my problems and placed me in the present moment, and while I didn’t realize it at the time, it was a form of meditation that kept me grounded during some of my darkest moments.

​

The second turning point came thanks to my friend Will Hann, who refused to give up on me. He convinced me to attend a one day self-help event, something I was incredibly skeptical about. But, against my own expectations, I signed up for the full four-day course, spending almost everything I had left in my bank account. The course was intense and full of insights. For the first time in years, I saw a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

​

From there, I discovered Psych-K, a process involving energy changes, whole brain states and subconscious reprogramming. It was out of my comfort zone, seriously woo woo, but the results were undeniable. Each session chipped away at the negative thoughts that had weighed me down for years. As I combined Psych-K with my own deep dives into psychology, philosophy, and self-help, I accelerated my healing journey.

​

Today, I live with deep gratitude for every moment, even the ones that challenge me. Having walked this path of mine, I’m passionate about helping others navigate their own journey of self-discovery and transformation, their own empowered path. Together, we can rewrite the patterns that hold us back and unlock a life that feels full and alive. Let’s soar along this part of your journey together.
