💫 Corporate Healing: Wellness & Energy Optimization
⚡️ Stress Rescue Workshops for High-Performing Teams

I'm an Energy Coach who helps teams transform their stress into sustainable success! As a certified Healer & Teacher with the Modern Mystery School, I bring practical energy work into the workplace - helping teams release burnout, re-energize, and show up with more to give at work (and home!).

Through in-person Stress Rescue workshops & guided meditations across the GTA, I curate experiences that help professionals manage pressure, reset their nervous systems, and build resilience from the inside out. When energy is blocked, productivity drops. When energy flows, clarity and creativity return. This is about human performance - albeit at a deeper level than most are used to.

My sessions are designed for forward-thinking companies who value both well-being & results - those who understand that aligned, centered employees perform better, collaborate deeper, and sustain success longer!

If you’re a leader interested in bringing a Stress Rescue session or a team meditation experience to your workplace, please message me directly to explore opportunities and to learn about my pricing!

✨ Based in Toronto | Available for in-person engagements across the GTA

Sales Associate

Corporate Healer | 3x Sales Club 🏆 | $2M in Partner-Sourced ARR | Channel Partner Leader | High-Performance Partnerships & People-First Growth

Seven years ago, I stepped into the world of SaaS with one goal: help tech companies grow smarter, not just harder.

Since then, I’ve built & scaled dozens of B2B Partnerships generating millions in ARR by developing relationships that last. At Vena (high-growth, FinTech firm), I’ve signed, coached and enabled dozens of Partner organizations - from boutique consultancies to large VARs - helping them accelerate revenue, strengthen delivery & build repeatable GTM systems. 

Along the way, I’ve earned 3x Sales Club awards & led multiple Partners to grow from $0 → $150K+ ARR in under a year. My approach blends strategy with empathy: understanding what drives people, what's slowing them down & creating plans that help both sides win.

The way I approach work is unique - I'm not just tracking metrics. I'm connected into energy & how it shows up in the workplace: how you show up determines how you perform! I've demonstrated that learning how to maximize your energy translates into real-world success. I offer B2B sessions for firms in the GTA who want their teams to understand these principles for success with my Stress Rescue workshop!

Building my business, Corporate Healing: Wellness & Energy Optimization, has given me an unconventional advantage in the workplace. I know how to help myself, my teams & my Partners move past burnout, resistance, and misalignment so we can operate from clarity + momentum (all too essential in this day & age!).

On LinkedIn, I share personal stories, insights, and practical tools on energy management, designed to help high-performing professionals reconnect with themselves, recalibrate their energy & develop their energetic edge for both work and life. Why? Because even the BEST strategy in the world will NOT work if your energy is neglected!

Whether I’m co-creating GTM strategies, enabling a new Partner, or facilitating a Stress Rescue workshop for a team of high-performers, my mission stays the same: build thriving ecosystems (human & business) that grow with integrity, clarity, and purpose!

Real success doesn’t come from pushing harder. It comes from internal alignment - the kind that fuels sustainable growth & helps you shine in the workplace ⚡️

Eight years ago today, my family's world changed forever. 


After years of hoping, praying, and eventually letting go, life surprised us in the most beautiful way. 


The month we finally released our grip on what we thought we needed, our son decided it was his time to join me, my wife and our daughter


Being his dad (alongside his sister) has been the greatest privilege of my life. 


I get to witness, every single day, this incredible little person becoming more himself


funnier, kinder, more thoughtful than I could have imagined. 


His laugh can turn around my whole day. 


His questions make me see the world fresh. 


His heart, already so big at eight years old, reminds me what matters most.


The waiting was hard. 


But watching him grow, seeing the person he's becoming...curious, compassionate, with a sense of humor that catches me off guard and makes me burst out laughing


I understand now that some gifts arrive EXACTLY when they're meant to.


Happy 8th birthday James, my unexpected joy, my daily reminder that the best things in life can't be forced


They simply arrive when the time is right. 


You arrived when your family needed YOU the most


And we LOVE YOU ALWAYS 💚

What's Your Care Bear Energy? 💫🧸🧸🌈🌈


Remember Care Bears? Those little warriors who literally shot beams of pure intention from their chests into the world?


That wasn't just a cartoon. 


That was a MASTERCLASS in conscious living!!!!


Every single day, you're broadcasting. 


Your energy, your words, your presence


it's all radiating outward, touching everything in its path!!


The question isn't WHETHER you're putting energy into the world.


The question is WHAT KIND!!!


Are you shooting out cynicism or curiosity?


Judgment or generosity?


Scarcity or abundance?


Fear or possibility?


The world doesn't need more people playing small.


 It doesn't need more hedged bets, more "professional distance," more carefully curated neutrality.


It needs YOUR specific frequency. 


Your laugh. 


Your weird ideas. 


Your unreasonable optimism. 


Your willingness to believe in people before they believe in themselves.


You think that's soft? That's POWER!!!


The Care Bears had it right all along. 


The bravest thing you can do is stand in the center of a cynical world and shoot light from your chest anyway.

So I'm asking you today: What's YOUR beam made of?


Because whatever it is, someone out there needs EXACTLY that ENERGY to keep going!!!


Radiate intentionally. 🌟

Life is a beautiful interwoven tapestry, filled with magically colored threads of love, connection, and kindness. 


This gorgeous tapestry reminds us that everything meaningful in life is about others 💚💚 


It's about the family who supports us unconditionally. 


The friends who laugh and cry with us, and build us up!!! 


The colleagues who collaborate with us, challenge us, and help us grow as humans and as professionals!! 


The strangers who become friends, and the friends who become family. 🤗🤗🤗 


It's about the moments we share The memories we create 


The love we emanate It's about lifting each other up, rather than tearing each other down. It's about empathy, kindness, and compassion. 💖💖💖💖💖 


If you TRULY want to be happy make your life about others 


Create a world that's more loving, more caring, and more meaningful. 🤗🤗🤗


LOVE and APPRECIATE YOU ALWAYS ❤️❤️❤️


Dom

You're allowed to evolve.


I used to think consistency meant staying the same. 


That changing directions somehow made me unreliable, unfocused, or a quitter.


The most authentic version of yourself isn't static.


 It's dynamic, breathing, constantly becoming!!!


What lit you up five years ago doesn't have to light you up today. 


The career path that seemed perfect at 25 can feel suffocating at 35. 


The goals you chased relentlessly last quarter might not align with who you're becoming this quarter.


And that's not failure. 


That's growth!!!!


The truest act of integrity isn't forcing yourself to remain interested in something that no longer serves you. 


It's having the courage to admit when your inner compass has shifted and then actually following it.


Constantly reimagining your future isn't about being flaky or chasing shiny objects. 


It's about: 


→ Listening to the quiet voice that says "this isn't it anymore"


→ Giving yourself permission to outgrow old versions of success


→ Recognizing that pivot points are proof you're paying attention


→ Understanding that your evolution doesn't invalidate your past. It honors it


The people who've had the most profound impact didn't stay in one lane because it was safe. 


They constantly recalibrated. 


They let go of what no longer fit. 


They trusted themselves enough to say "not this" before they could see "what's next."


Your interests will change. 


Your priorities will shift. 


Your definition of success will transform.


Keep leaning into your truest self


Even when that self looks nothing like who you were a year ago.


The future you're reimagining? 


It's not meant to be set in stone. 


It's meant to be constantly reimagined.


That's not uncertainty. 


That's being alive!!!! 💖💖💖


LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU ALWAYS 💚 


Dom

Every December, I pull out the same box of Christmas lights


And every December, they're a TANGLED MESS!!


You know the feeling. 


That overwhelming knot of wires that seems impossible to solve. 


You can't even tell where one strand begins and another ends.


Here's what hit me this year while untangling them:


This is EXACTLY what living without purpose feels like!!


When we're unclear on our "why," our days become like those lights...all tangled up. 


We're busy, we're moving, we're GLOWING even... but we're tied up in knots. 


Work bleeds into personal time. 


Priorities overlap and choke each other out. 


Every commitment wraps around three others until we can't see what actually matters.


But here's the powerful part:


The lights aren't BROKEN. 


They're just entangled.


And the solution? You don't yank harder. You don't force it. 


You find ONE END and follow it with patience.


That's purpose.


Purpose is the end of the strand you follow backward through all the chaos. 


It's asking: "Does this meeting serve my mission? Does this project light up my values? Does this commitment connect to where I'm actually trying to go?"


One deliberate untangling at a time.


And when you finally plug in those lights after the work of clarity? 


They SHINE exactly as they were designed to. 


Every bulb has space. Every strand has direction. The whole thing illuminates something beautiful.


Your life is the same way.


You're not broken. You're not failing. 


You might just be entangled.


So here's my challenge as we close out this year: Find your ONE END. That core purpose. That non-negotiable value. That mission that makes your eyes light up when you talk about it.


Then follow it backward through the tangle.


 Say no to what doesn't connect. Create space between what does. 


Be patient with the process.


Because a purposeful life doesn't mean doing MORE!!!


It means UNTANGLING what matters from what doesn't and letting your unique light shine exactly where it's meant to!!!


What's YOUR "one end"the purpose you're following into 2026? 


Drop it below. Let's light each other up. 🎄✨

The greatest way we can honour those who served, and those who continue to serve, is not through words alone, but through kindness 


Through raising the next generation to be good compassionate, principled, and brave humans 


Every act of kindness is a ripple that extends their legacy. 


Every child we teach to stand up for what's right, to show mercy, to serve others they become living testaments to what was fought for. 


When we choose patience over anger, understanding over judgment, generosity over selfishness, we honour their memory in the most powerful way possible.


They gave everything so we could have the freedom to choose how we live. 


Let us choose kindness. 


Let us choose to raise good humans. 


Let us choose to serve one another as they served us.


This is how we truly honour them not just on days of remembrance, but in the quiet, everyday moments when we decide what kind of people we will be, and what kind of world we will build together.


To those who served and those who serve still: your sacrifice will not be forgotten. 


We will honour you by living well, by loving deeply, and by passing on the torch of goodness to those who come after us.

While everyone's hunting for deals this week, I'm thinking about the BIGGEST deal most businesses are missing!!!


PROTECTING what they've already built!!


I recently sat down with the INCREDIBLE Ashley Smith for her Canada Now podcast and let me tell you this conversation hit DIFFERENT!!!


Here's the hard truth no business owner wants to hear:


"We're too small to be a target" is THE most dangerous lie in business right now.



The threat landscape heading into 2026? It's not what it was even 6 months ago.


AI-driven attacks are getting SMARTER.


Supply chain vulnerabilities are EVERYWHERE.


And most organizations? Still operating in 2005 assumptions.


In this awesome convo with my super friend Ashley, I break down:


✅ The REAL cyber risks every leader needs on their radar for 2026


✅ The leadership blind spots that turn small issues into catastrophic breaches


✅ Simple, actionable steps YOUR BUSINESS can implement THIS WEEK (not next quarter, not next year — THIS WEEK)


Whether you're a founder grinding it out, an executive steering the ship, a board member asking tough questions, or a nonprofit leader protecting your mission — this conversation is FOR YOU!!!


Here's the uncomfortable reality: Cybersecurity stopped being just an IT problem a LONG time ago.


It's now a strategy issue. A leadership issue. 


A SURVIVAL issue!!!!


Massive THANK YOU to the supremely AMAZING Ashley for the platform and the phenomenal questions! 🙌

Let's make 2026 the year we get PROACTIVE, not reactive!!!


Drop a 💡 if this resonates — and tag someone who needs to hear this message!

The single most powerful life accelerant I've discovered has nothing to do with strategy, networking tactics, or personal branding.


It's this: Treat every single person you meet like they're the most important person in the world.


Not because of their title. 


Not because of what they can do for you. 


But authentically. Genuinely. From a place of real curiosity and respect.


When you're in that meeting with the intern, BE THERE. 


When you're talking to the barista, SEE THEM.


 When you're emailing a colleague, HONOR their time and perspective.


Here's what happens when you make this your operating system:


Trust compounds. 


Doors open that you didn't even know existed.


 Opportunities find you. 


People remember how you made them feel. 


Your reputation becomes your greatest asset.


But here's the thing! 


people can FEEL the difference between transactional attention and authentic presence.


 They know when you're performing respect versus actually giving it.


The secret isn't acting like everyone is important.


 It's recognizing that they ACTUALLY are.


This isn't soft skills. 


This is power skills. 


This is how real influence is built.


Try it this week. 


Watch what shifts.


Treat EVERYONE like they're the most important person in the world ❤️

We're Not Meant to Be Monochrome


Imagine opening a crayon box and finding 64 shades of beige. 


Every. Single. One.


No electric blue to capture the wildness of a storm-tossed sea. 


No crimson red to paint the fire of a sunset that stops you mid-step. 


No forest green, no sunshine yellow, no violet that somehow tastes like possibility.


Just... beige.


That's what the world would be if we were all the same. 


 It would be boring as heck 


Here's the truth they don't put on motivational posters: 


The magic doesn't happen in uniformity. 


It happens in the collision of different. 


When cerulean meets burnt orange and creates something you've never seen before. 


When perspectives clash and spark and suddenly you're seeing dimensions you didn't know existed.


Every person you meet is a color you don't have in your hand. 


They've lived through shades of experience you've never touched. 


They see the world through a completely different lens, and that's not a problem to solve


it's the whole point of the masterpiece.


The painting of humanity NEEDS the wild streaks, the unexpected combinations, the colors that don't "match" by conventional rules but somehow create breathtaking beauty when they dare to share the same canvas.


Embrace the colors of the wind....ALL of them. 


The ones that comfort you AND the ones that challenge you. 


The familiar tones and the ones that feel foreign on your tongue.


Because we're not here to color inside the lines with identical crayons.


We're here to create something that's never been seen before. 


Together 🌈 


What's one "color" someone else brought into your life that changed your whole palette?

The greatest spiritual practice isn't escape


We often think enlightenment means rising above the mess of being human. 


That wisdom requires distance. 


That peace demands detachment.


But what if the opposite is true?


What if the real work isn't to transcend our humanity, but to fully embrace it?


The greatest challenge of love and perhaps of living isn't to become deeply spiritual by removing ourselves from experience. 


It's to become deeply human by immersing ourselves in it.


To stay present when things fall apart. 


To remain open when it would be easier to close.


 To meet another person's pain without turning away. 


To show up fully, even when it's uncomfortable.


This is where transformation actually happens


not on the mountaintop, but in the valley. 


Not in isolation, but in connection. 


Not in perfection, but in our willingness to be messy, vulnerable, and real.


The people who've touched my life most deeply weren't the ones who had it all figured out. 


They were the ones who stayed. Who listened. Who let themselves feel. 


Who chose presence over polish.


That's the kind of human I want to be.


Not transcendent. 


Just here. Fully and courageously here. 💚💚💚
