About Denon

Early Life:
I trained in my teens as a hockey player, learning how to skate at 12 years old, and through an obsessive dedication to my craft, quickly advanced to the playing in front of crowds at the Junior level at only 16 years old. Realizing that at only 5’10” I wasn’t going to make it to the big-leagues, I chose to step away from hockey at 17 to begin searching for a more realistic long-term career. However, hockey served as the gateway to my next obsession, health and fitness. Scouring the books and research, soaking up as much information as possible, as well as competing in the open divisions of Mens Physique Bodybuilding as a lifetime-drug-free athlete, this fuelled the fire for me to complete a diploma for personal training.

Adult Life:

In my early 20's I worked as a personal trainer and nutrition coach, working with the everyday person to professional and collegiate athletes. I enjoyed my time doing that, but I felt limited by what I could do.
Later on, a girl that I was dating and I noticed an open market space in the female health industry, and we went on to start a female-centric nutrition and coaching business, podcast, and more. But as successful as it became, there was something still missing in me.

At one point we realized that so much of the work we were doing in helping people achieve dramatic health goals goals or physical transformations was merely a bandaid for deeper psychological and emotional wounds that individuals were holding deep within themselves, and began floating around the idea of hiring some form of therapist or coach for the company.

Soon after, I experienced a rollercoaster of emotional challenges in my own life, including separating from my partner and stepping away from the business indefinitely. Seeking help, hiring coaches and mentors, and diving deeper into the vast literature on relationships, masculinity and mental health, I began correcting the errors and behaviours that lead to heartbreak and depression.

Overcoming these challenges quickly led me down a path that has become the new direction of my coaching practice, to where I've now made it my mission to help individuals who are fighting silent battles within themselves that nobody knows about, helping people heal from heartbreak, and level up within their relationships.

I do still offer Holistic Health Coaching & Online PT work upon request.
