1. What is Ocean State of Mind and how can it help me?

Ocean State of Mind is all about helping you reconnect with your purpose, reduce stress, and find balance—whether that’s through coaching, ocean-based adventures, or group experiences. We blend mindfulness, breathwork, and a dash of wildness to guide you through life’s transitions. Think of it as the antidote to the daily grind, helping you move from feeling stuck to living with more clarity and ease.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this really it?”—well, we’ve got answers. Not scripted ones, but the kind you already have within you.

2. What is one-on-one coaching with Damian like?

Our one-on-one coaching sessions are personalized to meet you where you’re at—whether you're stuck in stress, navigating a big transition, or simply want to feel more fulfilled. I’ve been through it myself, so I know what it’s like to feel uncertain. In each session, we’ll dive into mindful awareness, breathwork, and gain insight to the underlying neuroscience to help you break free from whatever’s holding you back.

It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach—we’ll shift mindsets, explore beliefs, and find your unique path to clarity, confidence, and purpose. And yes, the ocean is often involved too, because who can resist the healing power of nature? 

3. What are the benefits of coaching through life transitions?

Life transitions can feel like being caught in a storm, but they’re also opportunities to recalibrate. I’ve been through the tough stuff—grief, uncertainty, major changes—and the practices you’ll gain are the same ones that helped me find my way through. Whether you’re facing a major shift or just feel off-balance, coaching helps you:

• Find clarity: Get clear on what really matters.

• Build resilience: Strengthen your ability to ride the waves of change.

• Take action: Move forward with a plan that feels aligned with who you are.

If you’re wondering, “Where do I go from here?”—let’s figure that out together.

4. What is the Rewilding Circle for Men?

The Rewilding Circle for Men is a space for men in their 40s and 50s to reconnect with themselves and each other. If you've had success but are searching for more meaning, this group is for you. It’s about diving into deep conversations, exploring nature-based rituals, and reigniting a sense of purpose and vitality. No need for masks here—just real talk, real adventure, and real growth.

5. How can group coaching or experiences support me?

Group coaching is like having a guide (that’s me!) and a supportive crew to cheer you on. You’ll benefit from shared wisdom, accountability, and the collective energy of people who “get it.” We combine nature-based practices, group reflection, and a whole lot of support to help you grow—together. It’s like a growth spurt for your soul, but with less awkwardness.

6. What does a Rewilding Adventure entail?

A Rewilding Adventure is more than just a trip—it’s a chance to reconnect with your wild side. Whether it’s an underwater rock walk or a cold plunge, these adventures push you out of your comfort zone and help you rediscover your inner strength. Expect transformation, fun, and maybe a little bit of discomfort (the good kind) along the way. Get ready to dive deep into nature—and into yourself.

7. How can I expect to feel after a session or adventure?

After a session or adventure with Ocean State of Mind, you’ll feel grounded, energized, and a little bit more yourself. You’ll have tools to reduce stress and a renewed sense of clarity and purpose. It’s not a magic fix, but it’s pretty close.

Expect to walk away feeling more connected—not just to nature, but to who you are and where you're headed. As clients improve their breathing and we do more immersive experiences together like ocean swims, cold plunges or the sauna and cold plunge, nearly everyone reports feeling like their nervous system has gotten a good rinse.

8. How do I get started?

Getting started is easy—just book a discovery call, and we’ll talk through your goals. Then we’ll figure out the best program for you, whether it’s one-on-one coaching, group work, or a Rewilding Adventure. It's not about fitting into a box—it’s about finding the path that fits you.

11. How do I know if coaching is right for me?

If you’re reading this, then you or a loved one are feeling stuck, stressed, or uncertain about the next chapter in life, so coaching of some kind might be just what you need. It's perfect for those who are facing transitions or want to explore new possibilities. If you’re wondering, “Is this really the right time for me?”—let’s chat. Making sure we are the right fit for each other is an important first step. We’ll figure it out together, and you can decide from there.

12. What makes Ocean State of Mind different from other coaching programs?

Well, I’m likely the only life coach in the world that trains (some of) their clients on underwater rock walking! Ocean State of Mind isn’t just about setting goals or checking boxes—it’s about deep connection, the ocean, and using real, science-backed and ancient tools to make lasting change. What we offer is rooted in the rhythms of nature and the science of human well-being. It’s not just another coaching program—it’s a journey, with me by your side every step of the way.

If you’re looking for something more than “just another program” and ready to shift your way of being, you’re in the right place. If you’re looking for the executive coach that will help you build a plan to nail your KPIs, keep looking. 

13. Do you lead corporate retreats or work with organizations?

Yes! I’ve had the privilege of leading corporate retreats for leadership teams from multi-billion-dollar companies and best-in-class non-profits. Whether you’re looking to improve team dynamics, navigate change, or foster leadership development, I’ll tailor the retreat to meet your needs.

Through a mix of nature-based practices, leadership exercises, and mindful awareness, we’ll create an experience that helps teams reconnect, communicate better, and leave with actionable insights. Think of it as a reset button for your organization—without the corporate jargon.

14. Do you work with expanded consciousness or altered states of awareness?

Yes, absolutely. Part of my approach involves guiding clients through practices that can help expand consciousness and deepen self-awareness. These techniques can unlock new perspectives and help you access parts of yourself that you might not usually notice in everyday life. It’s about expanding the lens through which you view the world—whether that’s through breathwork, nature immersion, or other modalities that tap into the subconscious mind.

We’re not talking about magic tricks here; it’s more about leaning into the unknown, shedding old beliefs, and stepping into new dimensions of your own potential. The goal is to see the world and yourself with fresh eyes—sometimes, all it takes is stepping off the beaten path to see everything differently.
