His work focuses on self-leadership as the missing capacity underneath most men's struggles with their partners, their sex lives, and their sense of manhood. After more than two decades of men's work, somatic therapy and time in conscious communities across Bali and beyond, he now teaches what got him out of both patterns himself. He works with men aged 28 to 45 who know something is off in how they're showing up, but haven't been given language for what they're actually doing. He lives and travels across Australia with his partner Nina.
