Meet Your Coach.
Ian is a trauma-informed coach, embodiment facilitator, and the founder of Nurtr Wellness. His work sits at the intersection of nervous system regulation, emotional intelligence, and communication — the three things that determine how a leader actually shows up when it matters most.
He works with high-achieving individuals ready to go beneath the surface, and with leaders and teams in corporate environments where the same patterns show up, just in different packaging.
Over 300 hours of specialist training, a trauma-informed coaching certification, yoga teacher training, and years of study with world-leading facilitators inform an approach that is grounded, direct, and built for lasting change.

About
Ian spent years doing what most high-achieving people do — building the business, maintaining the image, and pushing through. Until his nervous system finally said no.
Burnout, OCD episodes, a relationship on the edge, and no real support system forced him to confront what performance had been covering up. That reckoning led him into deep personal development work, embodiment practice, and a complete rebuilding of how he operated from the inside out.
That journey became Nurtr Wellness.
