Nature Enthusiast:

Chris’s passion for nature is woven into the very fabric of his life. He firmly believes that nature is not just a place but a profound source of healing.

This wisdom he imparts to his clients, helping them disconnect from the chaotic world and reconnect with their primal roots.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is coaching, and how does it differ from therapy or counselling?

Coaching is a collaborative and goal-oriented process that focuses on personal and professional development. It differs from therapy or counselling in that it typically deals with individuals who are already mentally healthy but want to achieve specific goals, improve their performance, or enhance their quality of life. Our coaching services are designed to help you reach your full potential and live a more fulfilled life.

Who can benefit from coaching, and what issues can it address?

Coaching is beneficial for individuals of all backgrounds and walks of life. It can help with a wide range of issues, including personal transformation, resilience building, overcoming procrastination, stress management, improving nutrition, physical fitness, and much more. Whether you’re new to coaching or seeking to deepen your journey, we offer specialised guidance tailored to your unique needs.

What can I expect during a coaching session?

A coaching session typically involves a one-on-one conversation between you and one of our experienced coaches. You can expect a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you’ll discuss your goals, challenges, and aspirations. The coach will guide you through proven techniques, which may include breathwork, meditation, and other holistic practices, to help you achieve your objectives.

How do you customise coaching plans to individual needs?

We understand that everyone is unique. Our coaching approach involves an initial assessment of your goals and challenges. We then create a personalised coaching plan that integrates various techniques, such as breathwork, meditation, cold exposure, and yoga nidra, based on your specific requirements. Your journey with us is tailor-made to address your individual needs.

What are the benefits of one-to-one coaching compared to group coaching?

One-to-one coaching provides a highly personalised experience. It offers you dedicated attention, targeted solutions, and a deeper level of accountability. Group coaching, on the other hand, can foster a sense of community and shared experience. We offer both options to suit your preference and goals, often combining them to create a well-rounded coaching experience.

What are the benefits of one-to-one coaching compared to group coaching?

Nature is a profound element in our coaching philosophy. We believe in the therapeutic benefits of connecting with the natural world. By incorporating elements like walking coaching and exposure to nature, we help you disconnect from the hectic pace of life, reconnect with your deeper roots, and find serenity. Nature is a powerful tool in promoting holistic well-being.

What should I expect from cold exposure or ice bath coaching?

Cold exposure or ice bath coaching is a unique approach designed to boost mental resilience, improve circulation, and enhance mental clarity. During sessions, you’ll learn to gradually acclimate to cold water. It’s an invigorating experience that promotes mental and physical strength, and our coaches guide you through the process safely and effectively.

How can meditation and breathwork help with personal growth?

Meditation and breathwork are tools for enhancing mental clarity, reducing stress, and finding inner peace. These practices help you manage emotions, improve focus, and connect with your inner self. Our coaches offer guidance on various meditation techniques and controlled breathing exercises to support your personal growth journey.
