After a succession of destructive relationships in his
mid-twenties, Ben realized that he was reenacting the
traumas of his childhood and adolescence. Being very
intuitive, he began to develop an entire series of
intensive meditation practices to facilitate the
awakening of the innate healing intelligence residing
within the body and mind.
Ben began to explore a wide range of therapeutic
interventions and soon thereafter returned to the
ancient practices he had learned while training with
Horace Daukei, a traditional Native American doctor
(medicine man) from the Kiowa Tribe. Ben later went
on to train with Chinese Master Sifu Li Tai Liang. He
has incorporated these practices that have their roots
in the ancient Taoist lineages.

You are not alone, it’s not your fault and you can heal. 

I’m a visual artist, survivor of mental abuse and author of  the book: “Is It Me? The Hidden System Behind Toxic Relationships.” 

If someone feels confused, ashamed, tired and isolated in any of their current relationships, wondering if it’s them, I speak to that.

Toxic relationships don't happen by accident; they follow a predictable, hidden system that shapes how people behave, respond, and remain trapped. 

Your audience will leave with a better understanding of how an unhealthy relationship feels, why awareness is the first step towards healing, and the clear message that they are not broken.

My art and creativity have helped me reconnect with myself. They've allowed me to express the unknown, reflect on my journey, and embrace all emotions along the way.  I gladly dive into the topic of my healing journey as well, if that is of help.
