The Short Story
The Elemental story starts with a young boy in pain.
He’s angry at the world.
He hates life. And himself.
He’s confused and scared.
His body is fighting him. And so is his mind. And they’re winning.
He’s taken to hospital from a young age. They don’t know what’s wrong with him.
He spends the next 20+ years seeing different medical specialists: Doctors. Surgeons. Osteos. Physios. Counsellors. Psychologists. Nutritionists.
Anybody.
5 major surgeries. Dozens of fractures.
Extreme digestion issues.
Anxiety attacks.
Rage.
Nobody knows what’s wrong with him.
Life is shit. And no one can tell him why.
But he’s a stubborn little boy, and he won’t take no for an answer. He’s determined to find out the truth of his pain.
After years of hardship and no answers, he’s introduced to Eastern healing philosophies. He begins a deep healing journey that transforms his life. From the inside out.
Elemental is born.
And he never looks back.
Why Elemental
The name Elemental is based on the five elements of Fire, Earth, Water, Air and Ether.
Elemental was chosen as a framework for healing for two reasons:
Firstly, it’s a framework that anybody can understand and apply.
It cuts through all the scientific jargon and gives people an easy and accessible way to understand themselves, their traumas, and their healing.
Secondly, the five elements (or temperaments) are used in all the major historic traditions of medicine and healing.
Before companies began selling us drugs as medicine, people turned towards nature for healing and development, regardless of which culture, religion or tradition they came from.
It also has a deeply personal resonance for me. Before healing, the only spaces I would experience any form of peace were out in the natural elements.
Long nights on the water. Camping deep in the bush. Sitting beside a blazing fire. Hiking up a mountaintop.
The elements have always been the universal healing clinic.
