Biography Devin has spent the past 20 years studying growth and transformation. He used to be depressed, angry and powerless. For 13 years he worked in the security industry. He grew bored and knew life could be more than a grind, but was terrified of walking away from the success he had and reluctant to start at the bottom in a new career. In every spare moment he worked to transform himself through daily experimentation. He learned to control his mind, ignore it, generate positive emotions, overcome depression and cultivate states of creativity through writing and music. He was still frustrated in his career so he left NYC to live on a mountain for a year. His path has led from a place of darkness, depression and years of suicidal thinking to one of much joy and light with a deep spirituality. He is a Certified Holistic Health Counselor having studied health at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, as well as a Certified Integral Relationships Professional. He is a student of Integral Philosophy based on the work of Ken Wilber. He works with Creatives, Entrepreneurs, Coaches, CEO’s, Executives and those feeling trapped in corporate servitude and looking for a way out.
