Tony grew up in a broken home environment and through hard work and perseverance, worked his way out of it. After a period of ten years in which he worked with different therapists, counselors and coaches he decided to train in 1999 as a Professional Coach with leading trainers in the field at that time. Today, he is an accredited/credentialed Master Coach with the International Authority for Professional Coaching & Mentoring (IAPC&M) and an International Coach Trainer. Including his time in therapy, counseling and coaching himself as a client he has 30+ years of coaching experience. His personal participation in counseling, therapy and coaching helps Tony to know what his coaching feels like to his clients to provide better professional support, but also results. In his 20+ years of working face to face with clients he has worked with many notable world leaders and many celebrities, though now he focuses on couples work, as well as child-parent relationship coaching as this is personally and professionally important to Tony to be helping couples to succeed with Love, and parents to be improving their parental knowledge and building better relationships with their children.

Tony believes in furthering his training in personal and professional development and thus has studied with notable teachers from educational institutions to include: Harvard, Yale and Emory. He is extremely active in his commitment to learn more from the most knowledgeable, eminent professional people he can find, many of which are not mainstream – yet leaders in their own right either in theory, research, science or practical clinical work. Tony is highly knowledgeable in exercise science to prevent or reverse disease and also plant-based nutrition. His personal words ‘It is ineffective for a Physician, Coach, Therapist or Counselor or indeed any health professional not to be experienced in lifestyle medicine that includes: physiological needs, plant-based nutrition and exercise science and expect to be delivering improved mental health, wellness or great results for clients – lifestyle medicine education must become a part of all health professionals continued professional development, and curriculums.’ His commitment to learning from leaders as mentors has taken his professional skills to a high level. However, he is always looking to learn more.
