Meet David - Somatic Practitioner, Psychic, Energy Worker, Lover of light and bringer of joy and depth

How are you going? I'm Dave.

I was called to this work from a young age, although I didn’t know that then. For quite a lot of years I would connect to the people in Spirit and see things. It actually made life very difficult for me, I thought I was going partly crazy for a long time. It wasn’t until I discovered Buddhism and meditation in my late teens. That guided me towards psychic and personal development meditation, which was then I realised I had found my calling. I soon after cultivated a close relationship to my Spirit Guides. This then paved the way for me to start doing psychic/medium readings at 21 years old. It was at that time I started my professional journey. Hearing Spirit clearly and being able to share loving information to people that helped them to live a more fulfilling life. As well as pass information from loved ones that had passed on to assist understanding and connection. Having my Spirit Guides and the Masters (Master Spirit Guides) as my mentors from then. I have been able to develop my energetic, psychic and medium skills. Along the way I have had formal Training with Counselling at university and gained many more accreditations. To see the full buffet of skills go to davidmjohn.com).

Ultimately, my gift is loving people. I love to love and to help people feel loved and supported. And my ability to love you fully tends to help you to do the same for you. Recognising your awesome beauty and individual quirks as an incredible gift. It is the gift I share with each person I connect with. I do this by being totally authentic in my own fun and eccentric way; Knowing I can only help you bring out your best by being in mine as well.

I have specialised in areas including substance abuse, trauma release, and psychic development, past life healing and reading but at the heart of it all, I’m here to make growth easier, lighter, and way more fun. I love cutting through the fluffy, Whoo woo to give you down-to-earth tools that actually work long-term — so you can live a truly fabulous life.

When I’m not helping people connect with their true needs and gifts. I am either in the ocean somewhere, scuba diving, surfing, swimming or walking on the beach. I love travel and have been a digital Nomad since October 2024. I love meeting new people and having new experiences. I always love to learn and experience new things.

Meet Amanda Foulkes – Somatic Practitioner, Intuitive Bodyworker, Energy Medicine Woman

Hi, I’m Amanda. 

I’ve been a passionate bodyworker for over 25 years, dedicated to supporting people in reconnecting with their bodies in meaningful and transformative ways. 

Throughout my career, I’ve trained in a wide range of modalities — including remedial massage, dry needling, integrated spinal energetics, and osteopathic techniques — and have had the privilege of working as a soft tissue therapist with numerous state and national high-performance sporting teams. These diverse experiences have shaped my intuitive, responsive approach to treatment. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method, I tune in to what’s most aligned for the person in front of me, in that particular moment. I believe our bodies and beings form a deeply interconnected, dynamic system — one that benefits from flexibility, presence, and curiosity in how we approach healing and regulation. 

One of the greatest joys in my work is witnessing someone reestablish trust in their body’s innate wisdom. Having personally come through years of physical stress and disconnection, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for how profoundly intelligent and regenerative the body truly is. It’s my honour to share that sense of awe and possibility with others. Outside of the clinic, I’m deeply passionate about freediving — a practice that continues to be a vital part of my own healing journey. It invites me to explore the stunning oceanic landscapes of our planet while deepening my connection with breath, presence, and the capabilities of the human body. 

I’m so looking forward to sharing this retreat space with you, and holding a grounded, supportive container for nervous system regulation, embodiment, and discovery. 

With love,  Amanda

Meet Mel - Clinical & Forensic Psychologist I Breathwork Facilitator I Pattern Observer & Truth Teller

Hi, I’m Mel! – I never meant to be, though I am a disrupter of the status quo when it comes to what you may know of clinical psychology. I’m the founder of Zenso House and host of The Place for Connection podcast.

I blend science and spirit, psychology and physiology, theory and intuition. I'm not here to help you escape life—I'm here to help you build a life you don’t need to escape from. One that feels honest, embodied, connected. A life where all parts of you are welcome.

In Bali, I’ll be a guide, an anchor, a place to fall. I’ll support you to observe yourself with compassion, get curious about your patterns, and meet your shadows with open arms. I’ll help you understand your body’s signals, untangle the nervous system, and integrate the magic of this journey so it sticks when you return home.

I’ll be co-facilitating functional and experiential breathwork, offering education to help you land what you’re learning, and holding space for the deep stuff—grief, joy, resistance, relief, and everything in between.

This isn’t just breathwork. This is a full-bodied return to self, others, nature, and truth. 

A little about me - I am trained as a clinical and forensic psychologist, breathwork facilitator, Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapist (in my 8th year of training), sessional lecturer, Board Approved Supervisor to Psychologists, swimming & running enthusiast. In my private life, I have two beautiful children & I am married. I believe the path to creating great relationships is through deep self understanding and self responsibility. I am your emotions, anxiety, and psychological defences expert. Whilst I won't be your psychologist on this journey, I will be around to support, educate & empower. 

With love, Mel.
