Are you ready for REAL and LASTING change?

Are you ready to move past once and for all, everything in you that is holding you back?

Duncan Collins smiling on a mountain in New Zealand in front of a heart shaped rock

I’m Duncan Collins. British born, American made, Global citizen.

I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California.
More importantly, I have given myself over unreservedly for 20 years, to learning more about what it is to be human, what it is to heal in body, mind and spirit, what it is to live the best life possible, and what it is to facilitate healing in others.

I want to share all of this with you.

Life feels hard and overwhelming right now. You feel trapped in your current life situation and don’t know which way to turn. There doesn’t seem to be a way through the dark night of the soul that you feel completely trapped in.

It’s time for things to be different!

My Approach to Coaching

I’m not one for messing about or wasting your time or my time. So we’re going to go deep and rigorously honest fast. We’re going to clear your excuses out of the way, and make room for a whole new set of experiences. We’re going to clarify your vision of what optimal health looks like for you.

Once we have this vision, we’re going to break it down into bite-size chunks. We’re going to co-create a roadmap to get you from where you are now to where you need to be.

How is coaching with me different?

Duncan Collins smiling inside a redwood tree in Northern California

I’ve lived in some of the coaching hotspots in our world. Tulum. Koh Phangan. San Francisco Bay Area. I’ve talked to the 20 year old’s who want to utilize their VAST life experience, and more importantly, fund their next all night binge.

I am different.

I have worked in the helping professions for 20 years. Not the nice, cuddly version either. In the trenches with people for whom suffering has become a way of life.

I am completely sober, and have been for 13 years. I have, with a lot of help, overcome my demons in this area.

I don’t do this as a hobby. I do this because I am driven to offer healing in as many different forms as I can muster, because I know how desperately needed it is in this world. This is TRULY a labor of love.

I never stop doing my own work, so everything you receive from me is fresh, and from my own lived experience, my own often painful trial and error processes.

I am not pretending to be perfect, or claiming I have all the answers. But I do know more than you, about how to get from where you are now to where you want to get to, and I want to share this with you.

There is NOTHING I have not heard, and sat in the presence of, during the last 20 years. Nothing. Whatever you’re holding onto, it will not shock me, or make me want to run away.

Am I the right coach for you?

    • People who are sick of the status quo, and hungry for change

    • People who are suffering, and need REAL answers

    • People who have been through conventional healing modalities, and haven’t experienced the change they are hungry for

    • Those who are waking up to a flawed system, and need guidance on the path through the maelstrom

    • People who are very hooked on the allopathic medical system and framework for healing that it provides

    • People who are reluctant to change, and comfortable with their excuses

    • People who have a scarcity mindset and aren’t ready to embrace the abundance that is available in life

    • I have been vegan for 8 years, and recently converted to fruitarian.

    • I have lived on 5 different continents.

    • I spent my summers as a child on the beautiful island of Lanzarote

Specialties

Life Experience

  • Some of the highlights of my working career include:

    • Running summer camps for children with autism in San Francisco

    • Working with troubled teens in a non-public school and group homes

    • Working as a family therapist in a drug and alcohol rehab center

    • Working as a private practice therapist

    • I have a BA undergraduate degree in Health and Social Care with specialization in Guidance and Counseling.

    • I have an MA Masters degree in Integral Counseling Psychology.

  • I grew up as my Mother’s therapist, and so learned at a young age to attune to the needs of others and have very instinctive insight into how to help suffering people as a result.

    I have travelled all over the world as a digital nomad, and talked to people in each place from a huge variety of different cultures, backgrounds, and ways of understanding the world. This is not just a labor of love, but I believe my responsibility and part of my training to help me better understand the human condition so I can better help people.

    I have what I like to refer to as a ‘junk PhD’ in nutrition and body health. I sat by my Father’s bedside for 5 weeks as he approached the end of his life, largely due to poor diet and lifestyle factors. This experience changed my life, and took me from a person who neglected my own health to someone who has learned through an autodidactic approach as much as I can possibly learn, and have been applying it in my own life for the last 8 years with tremendous results.

  • My greatest passion in life is helping other people to live the very best version of the human experience that they can. This informs everything that I do, and everything that I am.
    Everything that I coach others to do I also practice and have experience in myself.
