Biography
Rob’s journey is a testament to the power of transformation. As the CFO of his own oilfield manufacturing company, he played a key role in growing a grassroots operation into a thriving enterprise with five divisions spanning Northern Alberta and British Columbia. Under his leadership, the company employed hundreds and became a cornerstone of the industry. Despite his professional success, Rob was silently battling immense personal turmoil.
At 36, he seemed to have it all—financial stability, a beautiful family, and a promising future. Yet, beneath the surface, stress, anxiety, and unresolved trauma consumed him. His struggle with prescription medications, alcohol, and a haunting sense of despair led to a breaking point in November 2011. That day, a catatonic moment in his office marked the beginning of what he now calls his “Nervous Breakthrough.”
Determined to heal, Rob relocated his family to Sylvan Lake, Alberta, and began exploring traditional therapies. However, it wasn’t until 2014, when he stepped into a yoga studio for the first time, that his journey of true transformation began. Initially terrified of judgment and weighed down by his past, Rob found yoga to be a powerful medium for releasing suppressed emotions and trauma. Through consistent practice, he shed physical and emotional burdens, eventually losing 60 pounds and regaining his confidence, self-love, and compassion.
By 2015, Rob’s passion for yoga inspired him to pursue teacher training, completing over 300 hours by 2016. Since then, he has taught more than 3,000 classes worldwide, guiding over 1,500 individuals through their own healing journeys. Along the way, Rob’s curiosity and scientific mindset led him to delve deeper into the connection between breath, movement, and emotional healing.
In 2018, he discovered the Architect of BEing program, which integrated psychology, hypnosis, and NLP with spirituality. This program not only deepened his understanding of the mind-body connection but also inspired him to weave these insights into his yoga teachings. He later became a master trainer, sharing this knowledge with people globally and honing his ability to read and respond to the needs of his students on an energetic level.
In 2021, Rob formalized his natural talent for energy work by completing Reiki Levels 1 and 2. This training affirmed his intuitive abilities, allowing him to offer profound healing experiences both on and off the mat.
Today, Rob is a transformational breathwork facilitator, intuitive wellness coach, and advocate for integrating science and spirituality. His mantra, “Persistence beats Resistance,” encapsulates his journey from a life dominated by anxiety and despair to one of empowerment and purpose. Through his work, Rob continues to inspire others to confront their own breakthroughs and embrace the healing power of breath, movement, and intentional living.
