Andrew Ellison

From 2018 i was invited to attend a mens workshop in Napier that really opened my eyes to a powerful experience of breathwork and mediation that provided me with tools to help me progress on my own self healing journey.

After attending a couple of workshops i decided to build a Mens Group here in the Palmerston North that focused on connection and community supporting and uplifting eachother through physical exercise, doing breathwork together to connect the heart, mind and spirit. we would share what ever we felt to share at the time, a place where we felt safe to be vulnerable. Due to covid and other things i am not currently running thses classes but hope to in the future.

This work was and still is operated outside of my normal working hours, i am currently running 6 week mentorship programs around self awareness, self forgiveness healing past trauma and creating a path forward that aligns with who you want to become.

This area of self development is where my passion and heart is, i love working with people who desire change, and want to be a better version of themselves for themselves and their families.
