About Darren

I started my career as a UX & Product Designer for Startups in London.

Throughout my twenties I lived in the hustle and bustle of city life; living the dream I was sold when I was young. 

It wasn't until my early thirties that I was inspired to become Digital Nomad so that I could travel whilst leveraging co-working offices around the world. 

I started a company when I left the UK, Pillow, it was an app inspiring couples to connect deeper in their relationship.

I was always fascinated with Psychology, Neuroscience and Behavioural Science (I studied a MSc in one of the UK's most prestigious universities, UCL), but the disciplines never seemed to teach me enough to fix my own 'issues'... of mind, body, and of tic. 

It wasn't until I found myself in burnout working hard on my business that I knew something was wrong. This was my wake-up. I let my mental health (and my body) get so bad that I had no choice but to heal. 

Blessed I was to be guided to a beautiful and tranquil remote island in Thailand renowned for its spiritual community (especially thru Yoga and Meditation) - Koh Phangan.

I spent many years breaking free from my western mindset of materialism, intellectualism and striving.

I trained, practiced and learned dozens of healing modalities; from Trauma release therapy, to multiple styles of Yoga, from Meditation to Breathwork (from a 70yr+ old Yogi), from Acupuncture to Hypnosis, and even explored CBD, Reiki, Supplements and so many Dietary changes!

In all honesty, this list can go on. I tried everything in order to get to the root cause of my ticcing body. 

Ultimately, it took me on a profound journey.

However, it was no longer about just the body. It was about being a better version of my self; mind, body, and soul. We may call this process, an awakening.

For the first time, I found myself exploring eastern mysticism, energy healing and realisation of self. There are alternative ways to 'experience life' (I have many such stories in my personal blog).

My western mindset had me convinced that pushing, striving, thinking, building, analysing, memorising, planning (and all the other mind stuff) was the only way to live.

I now realised there was another way.

I learned how to get OUT OF MY MIND and INTO MY BODY.

In doing so, the tics began melting away because I learned to be 'with' the body and not 'stuck' in my mind.

This isn't a fantasy. It's a tale older than time - a journey from the head to the heart. From the mind to the body.

I now guide others through this process.

There are specific tools I teach in the MTM programs that help you (or your child) achieve what I did (but faster, because I didn't have a mentor or guide who had been thru tics.)

These days, I live in Bali. I'm supporting adults who Tic, and Parents + Kids who Tic via my online video programs, and zoom programs.

I spend my time practising Yoga, DJing, Learning Guitar and eating good food with friends. The nature in Bali is magnificent, too. 

I have so much to share in the form of tools, techniques, stories, and perspectives that have (and continue to) change lives. I also share freely on my YouTube channel.

To me, I'm trying to live a life of fulfilment - in service and support of those around me.

And given I've been 'through it' with the Tics, I might be the perfect guide for you if you want to move beyond the condition.

Wishing you deep blessings.
