ABOUT NEIL
This is the path I walk.
My work has grown through lived experience, recovery, practice, teachers and ceremony — and a continuing willingness to meet life as it is.

THE PATH HERE
This is where the work began
This isn’t something I learned only through training. It is something I have come to embody over time.
My path began in my own recovery, in the quieter and often uncomfortable moments of sitting with myself and beginning to see honestly the patterns that were keeping me stuck.
Not in theory. Not in conversation. But in the way I was actually living.
What I came to understand was simple, but not always easy to live.
If something is not faced, it does not leave.
If nothing changes, nothing changes.

FIREWALKING
Fire became a doorway.
Not as a performance. Not as something to prove.
Firewalking gave me an embodied way of meeting fear in real time — standing at the place where the mind hesitates and choosing to move with awareness rather than retreat.
It is not the fire that changes you.
It is the moment you decide to move.
THE PRACTICES THAT SHAPED THE WORK
Different doorways. The same invitation.
Fire, breath and shamanic practice have each met me at different points in my own journey. Over time, they have become part of the way I understand transformation, ceremony and holding space for others.
FIRE
Learning to walk with fear
Firewalking became part of my path through Sundoor, where I trained in a tradition that approaches fire not as spectacle, or something to conquer, but as a teacher.
What drew me deeper was never simply the act of walking across fire. It was everything that happens before the first step — intention, fear, resistance, trust, connection, and the moment we choose to move.
Over time, I continued that journey through Firewalk Instructor, Master and Sakahan training. Fire remains one of the greatest teachers in my life, and one I continue to approach with respect.
The fire doesn't ask us to become fearless.
It asks us to meet what is there.
BREATH
Returning to what is natural
Breathwork has been a profound part of my journey, reconnecting me to something simple, natural and always with me.
Through conscious connected breath, we can begin to notice what is being held, quieten some of the noise, and create space for deeper awareness, feeling and insight.
In these sessions, I hold space for you to slow down, listen to what is present, and reconnect with the wisdom and intelligence already within you.
The breath reminds us to come home.
To ourselves. To this moment. To life.
SHAMANIC PRACTICE
Learning to listen differently
Shamanic practice opened another way of understanding my relationship with myself, with others and with the natural world.
Through teachers, ceremony and continued practice, I have explored ways of working that include soul retrieval, power retrieval, extraction, spirit council work and sweatlodge.
What these experiences continue to teach me is not that I need to have all the answers, but how to listen more deeply — to the person in front of me, to the body, to nature, to ceremony and to what is asking to be acknowledged.
The practice is not about escaping ordinary life.
It is about meeting it more fully.
THE INVITATION
This isn't about following my path.
Its about finding yours.
Everything that has brought me here informs the spaces I hold today, but I don't believe anyone needs to follow another person's path.
My role is to create a space where you can meet yourself honestly, explore what is ready to move and reconnect with what matters to you.
Whether that happens through fire, breath, ceremony or simply being witnessed, the invitation is the same.
