Our Philosophy
Conscious Energy/Connection to Life/Higher Self
At the most basic level we are all life energy. When we are relaxed, in a safe space, eyes closed, all the busy thoughts and mental chatter gone, we are able to feel this knowledge experientially. The expansiveness, the freedom, the unconditioned love. The knowing that this is who we truly are.
Ego/Personality/Body/Thoughts
At a more superficial level we are often identified with the thoughts and beliefs held by our minds and body. Occasionally just becoming aware that we are, at our core, connected to all life and made of life energy is enough to snap us out of our old belief systems but for most of use a bit more work is required.
Depending on our unique personality we may need a specific practice to help change our habits and see ourselves with more clarity (eg. we may have self-destructive behaviours we cannot see). Therapeutic practices such as Meditation Therapy, Breathwork, Core Clearing Breathwork, Bowen Therapy /Body Work and Holistic Counselling are wonderful modalities that help us make peace with our pasts, trust in the unknown future, see ourselves with greater clarity and learn to feel safe in our bodies in the quiet spaciousness of the present moment.

Dan Koch - Testimonials
Corporate Training - A huge thanks to Dan for preparing and running this resilience session for our team. The whole session was professionally run yet human-focused which kept us all engaged. Dan helped to work with us to make the most out of our session, including tailoring the content to focus on key areas that came out of our staff well-being survey. We all picked up some advice that will stay with us when we encounter stress not only in the workplace but also in our everyday lives and I can see us as a team referring back to this training session as a team bonding session also.
Hannah Richardson – Director, PSA Consulting
Thankyou for being part of our leaders forum. I think its incredibly important for leaders to have resilience and know how to build and maintain it. We need to keep ourselves healthy to be there for our folk. We all have different thresholds for stress and its very helpful for our people to hear from you how to manage their stress and anxiety levels and how to safe guard themselves to stay strong. Thank you for your amazing workshop!

Margaux Ellis coordinator of the Place Making Team
Thank you so much for the session on Monday, it was extremely beneficial and your calm, gentle and non judgemental approach proved essential in providing a safe space for participants to share.
I particularly enjoyed learning about how when the carbon dioxide builds up through holding your breath, your heart boosts the oxygen levels to give that energetic boost. Your suggestion to try this at 3.00pm to overcome the slump is something I will be adding to my self-care toolkit.
I also liked to hear how you expanded on the flight / fright / freeze response to include "fawning' as this wasn't a reaction that I have heard much about in relation to the reptilian brain.
I wanted to thank you for providing the three sessions across Council locations in October to help build the wellbeing of staff, especially given we are heading into the busy summer season. Thank you so much for your facilitation and sharing your passion for building individuals resilience.
