He regularly works one-to-one with clients, offering both therapeutic support and coaching. As a firewalk instructor, Tony has seen the massive benefits people can gain by expanding their comfort zones. He often trains and coaches other people-development professionals (coaches, trainers, therapists, consultants, medical practitioners …) and loves the fact that this starts many positive waves that carry benefits far into the world.

Tony’s core principles to guide the way he lives his life are ‘living fully alive’, ‘making a positive difference’, ‘loving kindness’ and ‘inspired action’ and by congruent example he constantly strives to inspire others to ‘shine’ brighter.
