About me
Hey! I'm Montell
I’m a guide, creator and healer exploring the vast interconnectedness of life. My journey is one of self-discovery, mastery, and expression—woven through my work, passions, and the way I move through the world.
I’m passionate about living a life of purpose, authenticity, fulfilment and expression. However, the journey to that simple realisation was one of trials, discipline and resilience...

What do I do?
I work as a Peer Support Worker offering support, understanding, and relating through my lived experience to those navigating their own challenges. My path in mental health advocacy extends to seminars and speaking engagements, where I share my journey to empower others. In the past I have also been a sports coach and mentor.
I'm trained as a Reiki Master, a form energy healing with the purpose of cultivating spiritual harmony through chakra balancing and other healing techniques. I like to use sound as a medium to channel energy and to offer healing to the world.
I've also always had a natural talent and interest in creative media production, specifically in the form of video content and work on projects that I am passionate about bringing to life.
Challenges & Obstacles
Since my early adolescence, I regularly experienced mental emotional distress that most commonly manifested as outbursts of anger or complete withdrawal and dissociation, as well as long episodes of deep depression and despair.
I would experience a recurring pattern of self sabotage and self-destructive tendencies due to low self-esteem and self-worth.
I became disconnected from my emotions and sentience. Through my lack of understanding I deteriorated to a point where I struggled to have a basic level of functioning which led to me neglecting much of my basic needs.
I then had some profound inner experiences and realisations which shifted my perspective of life and pushed me to become the best possible version of myself. I've always been aware of my potential but always felt out of reach due to not working on the underdeveloped and wounded aspects of my personality.
Passions & Practices
Through experiencing mental and emotional distress, I learnt that a strong foundation that nourishes me is essential for me to thrive.
With that said, my life is now a continuous practice of presence, movement, and reflection. I have spent thousands of hours in meditation, exploring both deep stillness and dynamic flow states. My mindfulness practice has shaped my personality how I navigate challenges, interact with others, and experience the world.
Physical movement is another avenue of self-expression and has always been grounding for me. I currently focus on training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/MMA, Calisthenics & Badminton which for me offers a balance of challenge and reward and puts me into a deep state of flow.
Mental Horizon
Mental Horizon is a reflection of the inner changes that I have embodied through years of study, reflection and practice.
Despite the relative "success" I've experienced, it's come as a result from my commitment to honour the challenges that have always been with me. It’s been exhausting, intense and confusing, but also nourishing, relieving and liberating.
I’ve had an interesting journey so far, and it’s far from over. The path ahead in life isn’t always clearly defined, but when one discovers peace and clarity, one can move forward with courage and the strength to overcome the obstacles that life presents.
