MEET PHIL
Phil is a transformational facilitator, mentor, and speaker with over 40 years of experience in human potential and personal growth. Known for his grounded, no-fluff approach, he helps people cut through their stories, shift old patterns, and reconnect—deeply—with themselves and others.
His work spans men’s groups, rites of passage, couples, and individuals —always centred on emotional, sexual, and spiritual growth. Whether one-on-one or in group spaces, Phil brings clarity, truth, and real transformation.
Phil’s journey has taken him across the world, studying with renowned teachers and elders. He has trained with Taoist master Mantak Chia, studied Vedic wisdom with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and worked with leaders such as Anthony Robbins. Graeme O’Brien, co-founder of Phoenix Rising Seminars had the greatest impact on Phil's life work. More than just a close friend, for over a decade Graeme mentored, inspired, and guided Phil on his journey. To this day, Phil will tell you he is one of the most remarkable humans he has ever met. Phil draws from a wide range of tools and modalities, including:
-Gestalt, family systems, and inner child-NLP, Hypnotherapy, and Time Line Therapy-Earth-based rites of passage -Tantra and sacred sexuality -Quantum Physics -Emotional healing and emotional release body work-Taoism, Chi Gong, and energy work-Meditation, rebirthing, breathwork, and plant medicine-Leadership development and reflective facilitation
A former member of the National Speakers Association of Australia, Phil has been featured on ABC and other national platforms.
Today, you’ll find him at Heartland—the retreat space he created on the Mid North Coast. More than a place to stay, Heartland is a space to come home to yourself. With a thriving food forest, open skies, and grounded, heart-led practices, it’s where people come to pause, breathe, and remember what truly matters.

“At the heart of everything I do,” Phil says, “is helping people wake up to who they really are—and live from that place of freedom, truth, and connection.”
