I am very grateful to have worked with Dylan on his Mind Body Coaching program - Dylan has helped me to dig deep into some very important questions and inquiries that, although hold a lot of value in investigating, are tough enough that I am unlikely to have made such progress without Dylans support and guidance. I am confident that anyone who puts in the effort will also get fantastic results from working with Dylan, and I look forward to seeing how his offering evolves as he continues to build up more experience in this field.

Jacquie Packer, New Zealand

Highly recommend Dylan as a Cacao facilitator. We had a beautiful night of sharing.

Linda Wallace, Australia

Dylan's somatic coaching experience was calming, intuitive and creative. His guidance helped me tap into hidden insights about a romantic relationship in particular and provided clarity on feelings of freedom or being stuck. He uses creative expression and storytelling in a beautiful way. Thankyou Dylan for accompanying me on this journey!

    Coaching is a collaborative process that supports you in unlocking your full potential—personally and professionally. It’s a space designed to spark new perspectives, ignite creativity, and bring forward strengths you may not have realised you had.

    Through coaching, you gain clarity, uncover untapped resources of imagination and leadership, and build momentum toward the changes that matter most to you. Whether you’re reaching for new goals, navigating challenges, or feeling stuck, working with a coach can open the way to greater fulfilment and purposeful action in your life and work.

    Mind-body, somatic coaching is a holistic and embodied approach that helps you align with your deeper intelligence—physically, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually. Rather than only working with the mind, we include the body as a vital source of wisdom and transformation.

    Through this partnership, I support you in listening to your somatic intelligence—the body’s natural capacity to sense, respond, and guide you toward what truly matters. By cultivating presence and embodied awareness, you’re able to release old patterns, access vitality, and take consistent, meaningful action toward a life of joy. This is the essence of life moving toward life.

    This coaching is especially designed for men who feel the call to step into greater embodiment, integrity, and leadership—men who may feel disconnected, under pressure, or uncertain about how to bring their full presence and purpose into the world. It is for those ready to repattern old ways of relating to power, explore a healthier masculine expression, and cultivate resilience, clarity, and authentic strength.

    At the same time, this work is not limited to men alone. The practices of somatic awareness, embodied leadership, and purposeful action benefit anyone seeking deeper alignment, vitality, and meaningful change. Whether you are navigating stress, searching for direction, or longing to live more fully in your body and truth, this coaching offers a supportive and transformative pathway

    Every coaching journey begins with an initial connection call. This is a chance for us to meet, explore your needs, and see if the fit feels right.

    If you decide to move forward, you’ll complete a simple intake form to help clarify your goals, challenges, and aspirations. This allows us to set a strong foundation for our work together.

    From there, our coaching sessions (usually 60 minutes) are spacious yet focused. We begin with grounding and presence practices, then move into dialogue and somatic exploration — working with your body, breath, emotions, and awareness. Each session ends with clarity and actionable steps you can integrate into your daily life.

    Over time, this rhythm supports lasting transformation, not just insight. You’ll be guided to deepen embodiment, repattern limiting beliefs, and align with the purpose and leadership you want to live.

    I am a professional structural engineer, with a creative imagination for architecture and a deep passion for nature-based solutions and earthen buildings. My work bridges the precision of engineering with the artistry of design, bringing concepts into safe, practical, and sustainable reality. I specialise in creating structures that not only stand strong but also harmonise with people, communities, and the natural environment. From modern building systems to regenerative, earth-honouring approaches, I integrate engineering expertise with architectural vision to craft solutions that are resilient, innovative, and life-affirming.

    My work spans a wide spectrum of architectural and engineering projects, from bespoke residential design to large-scale community infrastructure. I collaborate with clients, architects, and builders to create solutions that are both technically sound and environmentally conscious.

    Projects include:

    • Modern rammed earth and natural homes – blending structural integrity with earthen beauty.

    • Bespoke architectural houses – innovative, functional, and tailored to each client’s vision.

    • Educational facilities and schools – spaces that foster learning, connection, and resilience.

    • Biological wastewater treatment systems – harnessing living systems to restore balance and health.

    • Stormwater management solutions – integrating ecological design to protect waterways and communities.

    • Geotechnical ground testing and foundation design – ensuring safe, stable, and enduring structures.

    Each project is guided by a commitment to sustainability, creativity, and coherence between people, place, and planet.
