I work at the intersection of health, leadership, and living systems — supporting individuals and organisations to restore coherence, vitality, and grounded structures through body-based practice, natural solutions, and intelligent design.

My purpose is to co-create coherent inner and outer structures for a thriving future.

I help men under pressure feel calm, clear, and confident again — through practical, body-based coaching that restores grounded purpose in work, love, and life.

I help architects, developers, and community leaders in New Zealand create buildings and infrastructure that are functional, resilient, and regenerative — integrating structural engineering with nature-based solutions to restore ecosystems and support human wellbeing.

Why This Work Matters

We live in a time of fragmentation.

People are overwhelmed by information yet disconnected from their bodies.
Leaders are under pressure but lack space to regulate, reflect, and listen.
Systems are optimised for efficiency, not vitality.
And many capable, thoughtful people feel quietly stressed, isolated, or out of alignment with what matters most.

Most approaches try to fix symptoms — mindset, productivity, performance — without addressing the deeper pattern underneath.

The real issue isn’t a lack of intelligence or effort.
It’s a loss of coherence.

When the nervous system is overloaded, clarity disappears.
When rhythms are ignored, resilience erodes.
When systems lose relationship with living principles, they become unstable.

This work exists to restore coherence —
within the body, within leadership, and within the structures we build —
so life, work, and purpose can move together again.

The Principles That Guide This Work

This work is grounded in a set of guiding principles — not as slogans, but as a living code for how we work, lead, and relate.

They shape how I show up, who this work is for, and what we prioritise together.

Coherence

We work from the inside out — aligning nervous system, values, and action so strength is sustainable and decisions are clear.

Vitality

Health is not the absence of stress, but the presence of life force. Energy, breath, movement, and rhythm matter.

Presence

Presence is the ground of all meaningful connection.
We cultivate the ability to be here — attentive, embodied, and responsive — so leadership, relationships, and decisions arise from awareness rather than reactivity.

Discernment

In an age of noise and distraction, we slow down enough to sense what is true, essential, and worth committing to.

Regeneration

Whether in bodies, leadership, or design, we favour approaches that restore capacity rather than extract it.

For Men

This coaching is for men who:

  • feel capable on the outside, but strained or misaligned within

  • want depth and meaning, not simply performance

  • sense they are meant to contribute in a more grounded, life-giving way

  • are ready to slow down enough to move forward with clarity

Nature Based Architectural Engineering is for people who want:

  • To build their dream home with natural materials.
  • Resilient and regenerative structures that harmonize with their environment.

  • Functional, creative, and technically sound design solutions.

  • Collaborative process from concept to construction.

What Others Say

Jamie Pou, New Zealand

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!

Stef Lum, USA

Dylan has an amazing, focused, grounding presence. He truly holds space for you to be witnessed, seen, and heard. He listens deeply and guides gently whether you need logical or emotional clarity and reflection.

    I work across health, leadership, and design — not as separate disciplines, but as expressions of the same underlying patterns.

    My background spans natural health, somatic and mind-body practices, leadership coaching, and architectural and structural design. Over time, I noticed a consistent truth:
    the same principles that create stable, resilient structures also create resilient people.

    When the foundations are sound, life flows.
    When they’re not, pressure accumulates and distorts.

    People often come to me when they’re capable on the outside but carrying quiet strain beneath the surface — stress, disconnection, loss of clarity, or a sense that something deeper is being ignored.

    My role is not to fix or motivate.
    It’s to help restore coherence — so clarity, vitality, and grounded leadership can emerge naturally.

    This work is practical, embodied, and rooted in lived experience.
    It honours the body as intelligent, systems as living, and leadership as something that begins within.

    Whether you’re ready to design a regenerative project or step into embodied leadership, I’d love to connect.

    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.
