Health & Peak Performance Coach

A former elite athlete turned coach, Ben has worked with over 500 high performers - from the battlefront to the boardroom, the starting line to centre stage - helping people achieve sustainable peak performance has become his life’s passion. 

His athletic career across three continents forged a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed at the highest level. 

Personally, navigating intense physical & mental challenges, including multiple joint surgeries, brain injury & burnout, Ben transformed adversity into wisdom. 

Creating the HOLOS system: A comprehensive framework integrating biology, breath, psychology, and behaviour to unlock human potential & unshakeable health. 

His philosophy emphasizes true high-performance stems from a robust nervous system, regenerative practices and authentic self-awareness.

Specialising in emotional and psychophysiological intelligence, Ben continually explores how training the nervous system & reclaiming the stress response can drive success in high-pressure environments. 

As a Peak Performance & Psychology Coach, Strength & Conditioning Coach, Keynote Speaker, and Consultant. His clients value not just his expertise but the way he breaks down the complex science of body, brain, and performance into simple, life changing actionable tools that create proven success.

Unlocking Human Potential & Sustainable Health Performance

I’ve always been drawn to first principles - to the deeper why behind success - never accepting that human potential has limits.

For over two decades, my life revolved around elite sport. Chasing peak performance with relentless drive.

I lived in a constant state of output, pushing through pain, pressure, and exhaustion, believing that more effort was always the answer. Whilst I thrived under pressure and loved going to the edge.

I sensed there was more to the puzzle. I became fascinated with how breath, recovery, psychology, and presence could influence performance; The more I practiced the better I performed.

‘The Double Edge Sword of Peak Performance’

My pursuit of the next level brought moments of glory - championships, flow states, breakthroughs - but my insatiable drive became a double-edged sword.

 

The harder I pushed, unable to slow down long enough, my body and mind began pushing back. Then it all caught up with me:

  • Multiple joint surgeries

  • Three brain injuries

  • Burnout and hospitalisation

I lost my routines, my identity, and my sense of self. More than once, I had to rebuild from the ground up - from bones, to breath, to brain.

Adversity: Our Greatest Teacher.

Instead of quitting, I chose to see each challenge as an opportunity, to practice resilience, equanimity and to use pain as a teacher rather than something to fear. 

In the ‘dark moments’, I realised I couldn’t “just push harder” to get my way out. I needed to stop, listen, and rebuild from the inside out.

I immersed myself in breath science, Vipassana meditation, Biomechanics, Psychology, Neurobiology, Eastern medicine, and Holistic Strength & Conditioning 

Not just as a practitioner and coach but as someone seeking to reclaim a life of vitality, clarity, presence and answer the deeper questions of who I am and what my purpose in life is.

I discovered a truth:
The nervous system isn’t a background player - it’s the foundation for everything.


Regulation, regeneration, and Deep Connection aren’t luxuries; they are the baseline for sustainable high performance.

Health: The Ultimate Practice of Self Leadership

From this realisation, HOLOS was born - a system forged through lived experience, refined by science, and proven in practice.

Since 2014, I’ve worked with and supported elite international athletes, military leaders, entrepreneurs, founders, high-performing professionals and purpose led parents across the globe to build their HOLOS and create results that last.

  • Turning stress into a competitive advantage

  • Building an adaptable nervous system

  • Sustaining unshakable health, energy and clarity

  • Leading and performing at their highest level - without burning out or breaking down

Success is a by-product of Wellbeing

Today, my life is built on the same foundations I help my clients create. 

I train with purpose, integrating strength, mobility, and conditioning that align with my biology and lifestyle. I weave optimal breathing patterns into each moment I live and prioritise regeneration as much as performance - making space for time in nature, meditation, and recovery practices. 

I’m a husband, a father of two young daughters, and a business owner. I consult with leaders, run multiple ventures, and work with people at the highest levels of business, sport and the frontline - while protecting my ability to show up with presence, clarity, and energy in every role. 

I live the HOLOS system every day. It’s not theory - it’s a proven way of being, tested under pressure, refined in practice, and continually evolving.

And it’s the same system I would be honoured to help you build if you want to thrive under pressure, turn stress into your advantage, recover faster, and lead with grounded confidence in every area of life.
