Dani, a dedicated holistic therapist, passionate about natural healing and wellness. Born in Belgium and raised in Portugal. Aged just 23, following a serious car accident, he embarked on a transformative journey. He studied holistic therapies in India, Thailand, South America, Australia, and Germany. In India, he was privileged to study at an Ayurvedic Hospital. An experience that gave him a profound understanding of the body's innate ability to heal when in balance.
He was fortunate to spend extended periods with masters, gaining authentic knowledge directly from the source. We discuss this in the podcast. His journey took him to Thailand, where he delved into traditional Thai herbal medicine and their meridian Sen lines. In South America, he explored indigenous healing practices. These experiences further enriched his understanding of holistic therapies. In Australia and Germany, he studied Bio-resonance therapy, which uses the body's energy field to identify and treat various health conditions.
For over 20 years, Dani has maintained a relentless curiosity and commitment to learning, continually seeking to enhance his knowledge and expertise in holistic therapies. This ongoing journey of discovery allows Dani to offer his clients the most effective and beneficial treatments.

Tracy currently has two businesses CHI’s Therapy operating since 2019 and Bungee Physio HK operating since 2023.
In the podcast Tracy tells her story of a serious back injury, so bad it was hard for her to stand. Her doctors recommended surgery. Tracy found Pilates and after just 3 months she felt much better and after 1 year she was back to playing volleyball. She underwent training as a Pilates Instructor and in 2019 she opened her own studio. Tracy continued to do training in a wide range of subjects including sports psychology and in 2023 she opened her second studio Bungee Physio HK.
Tracy shares client stories in the podcast that emphasise that coaching is not just physical coaching. For her there needs to be a balance between the physical and the mental aspects of coaching. Understanding client’s problems at the mental level is as important as the physical level. Tracy believes clients need to be more active and to get more awareness of their bodies. The body gives signals, we need to listen to our bodies and not to move only once we have an injury.

My guest on the podcast this week is Ciaran Hussey. Ciaran is married to Dee and has two daughters. Originally from Ireland, Ciaran moved to Hong Kong in 2007. He spent the first 8 years running one of liveliest bars in HK. However, he was looking for a new venture something to take him away from his feeling of being trapped. He was looking for something else to do, something different and he thought he needed to start his own business.
Ciaran explains in the podcast how he had heard about Floating through Joe Rogan and 9 years ago and he founded Float Co introducing Float therapy to Hong Kong. Running Float Co initially was a more complex business than running a bar, there was a lot to learn. One of his members became a business partner and helped to bring solid processes to Float co. Two years ago, Float Co introduced an Ice bath and later this year they will be opening up Health related services.
In the podcast Ciaran explains that floating is a practice that develops over time and it brings with it many advantages including but not exclusively, improving sleep, reducing stress and anxiety. It can lead to a deep state of relaxation. Ciaran further explains that the addition of audio tracks has enhanced the benefits of Flotation Therapy. The business is evolving with the continued addition of new services.

14:48 Looked into “Floating”.. to bring it to Hong Kong… we took the space on Caine Road…
16:30 We opened “Float Co.” there wasn’t a flood of people… it’s a more complex business than running “A Bar”… There was a lot to learn…
18:08 [Float Therapy]… a very deep state of relaxation…
20:43 [Business] People keep showing up to help… One of our members became a business partner… brought solid processes to Float… a mentor is invaluable…

My guest on the podcast this week is Kate Whitehead. Kate is an award-winning journalist and qualified psychotherapist based in Hong Kong. In the podcast we are discussing her most recent book, Pandemic Minds, about the psychological impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Hong Kongers.
Following a meeting with the publisher for Hong Kong University Press Kate committed to writing about mental health and the pandemic. Half of the book is first person accounts of the pandemic taken from interviews with a wide range of people from all walks of life, a diverse group of experiences. The other half of the book is the psychology of why we behave the way we do in certain situations.
Every chapter in the book ends with strategies for support to ensure there is a therapeutic element to the book. Kate has the firm belief we are going to have another pandemic. It’s not a question of if, it’s more a question of when and how can we do things next time differently. What has been learnt.

My guest on the podcast this week is Rishi Narang. Rishi lives in Hong and works in cyber security as a “Security Alchemist”, specialising in security advisory and risk mitigation. Being a neurodivergent individual, Rishi is passionate about mental health and well-being. He is a certified coach and mentor, sharing insights on fostering mental well-being, understanding neurodiversity, promoting inclusive hiring practices with allyship, and mitigating technology induced social isolation.
I met Rishi at an event dedicated to “Neurodiversity’ hosted in Hong Kong. Rishi was diagnosed with ADHD - Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in late 2022. He tells the story of his diagnosis in the podcast. Very simply, neurodiversity refers to the different ways a person’s brain processes information. As Rishi explains neurodiversity is your cognitive ability to do things differently, to process things differently and to come up with out the of box thinking that is not neuro typical. It’s a different way of thinking, as simple as that.
Rishi shares his story of discovering his neurodivergence , how it was liberating and understanding how different he is and how similar he is. How it is a boon and a curse. How he stays on top of things with three buckets and shares many more insights including encouraging individuals to explore and experiment, to be curious and to develop resilience.
