About Me
My name is Damon and I am looking to change the world. I know that’s a bold statement, but it is true. I am a Lifestyle Health Coach, a Wim Hof Method Certified Instructor and Cancer Survivor Turned Thriver.
I would love to take you on a journey that shows you how to take more control of your mind, body and soul.
For me, mindset is everything. It helped me turn a brain tumour diagnosis into my super power. The Wim Hof Method has helped me so much with mindset, healing my body and growing stronger, that I decided to become an Instructor so that I could share this power with others.
A few years ago, it was the WHM that took me from a place of thinking I was going to die before I was 50 (I was 40 at the time), to thinking that ANYTHING is possible when we create the right conditions for our minds and bodies…….That’s quite a statement and shift in mindset, isn’t it?!
If you are ready, I want to help you shift your mindset, heal and grow stronger and find your super power too.
From Surviving to Thriving!

What Is Coaching?
Coaching is a partnership and a process of self improvement to help you perform at your natural best. It involves increasing your self awareness so that you can understand where you are, how you are showing up, how you have been shaped by the world, and what your belief system is. By understanding where you’re getting stuck/stressed we can then design an action plan of how to move forwards and reach your goals.

My Coaching Credentials
I am an iPEC trained coach. The school is known for its pioneering approaching and methodology.
A key principle that underpins iPEC’s philosophy is that the living world, humans and our thoughts and emotions is made up of energy. I love this as it’s where science meets psychology and theory. As iPEC trained Coaches, we pride ourselves on “Core Energy Coaching”, whereby we coach from the inside out, and coach the energy behind the thoughts, emotions and actions we take, really getting to the core of who we are.
iPEC came highly recommend to me by a trusted contact of mine. I also loved their MO whereby they look to change the world “one conscious mind at a time”. If you work with me, then you will get used to me talking about energy and benefit from the method of coaching the energy not the situation.
The Energy Leadership Index Assessment
The ELI Assessment is such a powerful tool and is at the heart of Adapt+Flow coaching. The ELI was featured on Forbes as an assessment that every executive should take. It provides a deeper insight into how a person ticks and offers awareness into areas of strength and other areas that may need more attention. The Energy Leadership Index Assessment is a fantastic way to kick off coaching packages with high impact.
The Wim Hof Method
The Wim Hof Method helps you take more control of your mind and body simply by combining breathwork, cold exposure and mindset exercises. It is amazing what our bodies are capable of when we create the right conditions for them.

The Wim Hof Method helps you take more control of your mind and body simply by combining breathwork, cold exposure and mindset exercises. It is amazing what our bodies are capable of when we create the right conditions for them.
2.5 years ago, it was the WHM that took me from a place of thinking I was going to die before I was 50 as a result of my brain tumour diagnosis (I was 40 at the time), to thinking that ANYTHING is possible when we create the right conditions for our minds and bodies…….That’s quite a statement and shift in mindset, isn’t it?!

My Aim
My aim is to inspire you to tap into your inner strength and the power of positivity so that you can take action to improve the quality of your life.

Testimonials
Damon is a lovely and full of love person. I've had several sessions with him, and every time it felt like a breath of fresh air.
He creates a safe space that makes me feel comfortable to share, and with his technique and love, helps me see things and encourages me to be my better version.
I'm grateful to have him as a coach and to remind me to be me, always.
Thanks, Damon!
I’ve been having regular coaching sessions with Damon since Summer 2021. The past 2 years has been incredibly challenging for me, like for many others, and working with Damon has helped me unpick some of my fears and barriers to living the life I want to lead.
Damon has created a space to encourage me to share my worries and to celebrate the small successes I’ve made, in both my personal and professional life. In my fully remote role, home life (as a parent) and work life often bleed into each other in terms of my “to do list” and mood, and in my sessions we work through priorities and goals to help me be the colleague, leader and parent I want to be
I have met Damon one and a half years ago, since I have started working at Blis, because the company provides us with a coach who you can talk to.
Damon is a great example of someone who truly listens to you to find out where you want to improve on and motivates you to go for these goals by using his great positivity and optimism.
I'm really blessed to have a person like Damon in my life that always finds a way to motivate me again when I feel a bit lost. Can't wait to continue this journey together.
I’d just received a diagnosis after surgery that I wasn’t expecting. Frantic to get through aggressive cancer I looked everywhere for help and a friend told me about Damon. I can’t thank him enough for the time he took to talk me through how to help myself and the obvious empathy over what I was facing.
I really recommend his techniques and guidance as a starting point after diagnosis or surgery, or if you just want to improve your health or even just as health maintenance.
I used the techniques to help me get through chemotherapy and radiotherapy then ensuing immunotherapy. I managed it far better than others expected as a result. Who better to advise you than someone who has been through the health struggle and come out fighting fit? Thank you Damon!
I came to Damon at a very scary time in my life as I was just diagnosed with cancer. I knew it was crucial to have my mental game at peak shape as I was facing a difficult treatment process of chemotherapy and all the unknowns. Damon helped me to shift my perspective about my diagnosis and to understand that medical treatment is just one of many factors that will impact my healing process and ultimately being cured. He also provided tools, resources, and support that helped my overall wellbeing.
I definitely would suggest working with Damon if you're facing any major challenges as he has a unique gift of breaking it down into a way that allows you to feel empowered and that you can conquer it.
I’ve had several coaching sessions with Damon and can highly recommend him as a coach. Damon is a very approachable, compassionate and encouraging coach. He always creates an open and safe space and I have felt able to talk freely and share without any fear of being judged at all times during our sessions.
The coaching tools and empowering questions Damon uses have helped me raise my confidence level and consciousness, see my true potential and take the necessary steps to create a more fulfilling life.
Damon has been acting as a career coach long before he embarked on this journey, enabling professionals to connect based on their strengths and personalities.
Damon’s super-power is his intuition and ability to get the best out of those he interacts with!
I have had the privilege of working with Damon ever since 2020. With his genuine compassion, empathy and professionalism, Damon creates a safe space where I dare to open up, explore new angles and challenge my own old beliefs.
Through our sessions I have grown both in my professional role and as a person and I look forward to continue working with him.

Lifestyle Health Coaching
As a Lifestyle Health Coach I help people improve energy levels, mental and physical health, resilience and self belief. Whether you’re struggling with mental health and close to burnout, going through a divorce or facing something in life that’s hard to overcome and causing you stress, you’re ready for change.
You know there is another way, a way that will feed your energy not drain it, and an approach that can make you stronger. This pain/stressor is your catalyst for change. It’s what’s leading you to take the next step with positive action, so give yourself some credit for recognising this.
I take a collaborative approach with my clients focusing on mindset, optimising your energy engagement and creating healthy and powerful habits (both mental and physical). I’m a big advocate of using the amazing natural resources available to us, whether that’s breathing techniques to change our mood and biochemistry or taking a walk in nature to calm the soul.
I honestly believe that we can do anything if we put our minds to it (and I mean anything), but we need to create the right conditions. I’m here to help you create the right conditions for you to thrive.
I have an unshakeable belief that we have the ability to turn our challenges into growth opportunities through ‘healing’ our mind and body. Together we can do this.
What do you believe? How are your beliefs serving you? Is there anything you’d like to change?

The Wim Hof Method helps you take more control of your mind and body simply by combining breathwork, cold exposure and mindset exercises. It is amazing what our bodies are capable of when we create the right conditions for them.

My Journey Into Coaching
I have always worked in a profession that is people orientated. Prior to setting up ADAPT+FLOW, I spent 18 years in recruitment servicing the Design & Construction industry. Eight of those years were spent living and working abroad whilst I relocated to Dubai, and then Hong Kong. My years abroad gave me the opportunity to encounter different cultures, different ways of living and working, and expand my network far beyond the UK and gain a broader view of this world we live in.
I moved back to the UK at the end of 2014 to be closer to my family, I had only planned to be away for 3 years! With a fresh start, I took the opportunity to set up a recruitment business that subsequently merged with another successful Architecture & Design recruitment business which continues to grow and excel in the UK.
At the end of 2019, business was going well and I felt I was really hitting my stride both professional and personally. Essentially, I was experiencing more fulfilment than I ever had done…….
That was, until life chucked a curve ball at me when I was diagnosed with a brain tumour in December 2019. Although it was unbelievably scary and a total shock to the system, there was hope. Whilst the tumour was large, it was benign, low grade, slow growing, and operable. These were exactly the words I needed to hear to ignite my hope and soften the blow. Things moved quickly from then, I was booked in for an operation to remove the tumour on 11th of February 2020, and I am pleased to say surgery went as well as expected.
Although I had been on a journey of self-improvement and discovery for a number of years, I now had a different filter of how I was viewing the world, and out of this challenging time came the realisation that there was something else I could be doing that would really make the best use of who I truly am. Simply put, I believe I am on this planet to make people feel better about themselves and remind you that you can do anything if you put your mind to it. That is why I am a Coach, so that I can put this theory into practice and inspire you to be the best version of yourself.

A Typical Coaching Journey with Damon at Adapt+Flow
Coaching is a process and journey of self-improvement and discovery whereby the coach and client partner to define and achieve the goals of the client with a mindset that sets you up for success. So, what does a typical coaching process look and feel like?
Identify where you are
Some of you will have specific goals you are looking to achieve. Others of you won’t, but you recognise that something in your life is out of balance and you crave more fulfilment. You’ve heard that coaching works, or you have an idea that coaching is about moving forwards and improvement, whether that be in your personal or professional life.
Connecting with me
You need to see what I’m like, but also get a little flavour of what coaching could do for you…….and so you take advantage of the complimentary coaching session
How do you connect with me?
The complimentary coaching session can be in person, VC or phone – it allows you to get a taste of what coaching is with a live demo and also to get to know me, and for me to get to know you.
Set up a coaching agreement
Create a life full of success & fulfilment and reduce stress levels and we confirm to work together. At the beginning we will set out expectations, commitments and boundaries to help make the working partnership as successful as possible.
Energy Leadership Index Assessment & Debrief
If you’ve decided to start your programme with an assessment and debrief, then you need to allow 30-40 minutes to complete the assessment online, followed by a virtual debrief session that lasts approximately 60 minutes . Off the back of the learnings and insights discovered, we then move on to start a coaching programme.
How often and for how long does a coaching programme last?
We meet once a week for 12 weeks or 24 weeks. The first coaching session is usually a little longer lasting for 60 to 90 minutes to allow time to set the process up and identify goals and areas for development. Following sessions are typically 30-45 minutes. We connect, however you feel most comfortable so that you’ll benefit the most. Some weeks you may want some visual connection, other weeks talking on the phone does exactly what it needs to. You choose and let me know before hand.
If you need more clarification, please get in touch and I’ll happily walk you through the process and help you visualise and get a feel for things.
The ELI Assessment
The Key points you need to know
- ELI standards for Energy Leadership Index
- It is an online assessment consisting of 84 multiple choice questions
It takes 20-30 minutes to complete - The result will be emailed to you and your coach – your coach will analyse the result ready for your debrief.
- The debrief session takes approx 1 hour
- Forbes voted the assessment in the top 20 of assessments all executive should take
- The ELI is an attitudinal assessment
The purpose of the assessment:
The Energy Leadership Index assessment reveals the specific filters you’ve developed and how they are influencing your life. It also uncovers the thinking and perceptions that might be creating stress or holding you back from achieving your goals. After all, the ability to achieve success, happiness, and purpose happens when we are able to recognise and release internal challenges and blocks.
What the Assessment measures:
Energetic Profile – Your typical energy on a good day
Energetic Stress Reactor – Your reaction to a stressor
Both of these are indicators of your current potential to motivate and inspire yourself
and others, to understand how you engage in life, and to understand your awareness of
who you are and what life is about. This is important because as people become more
conscious and engaged, the fewer judgments they make, which causes their stress levels to decrease. This is because instead of judging things as good or bad, they are better able to approach situations in ways that raise their levels of productivity, satisfaction, and fulfilment.
Your Energetic Profile combined with your Energetic Stress Reactor gives you your Average Resonating Level (A.R.L)
Research has proven that people with higher levels of anabolic energy, and so higher A.R.L of energy experience less stress and create more success and are more fulfilled in life.
