📣 Something big is coming…

For months I’ve been building something for the men who hold everything together — the ones who look “fine” but feel overwhelmed, tired, or alone.

Not therapy.
Not clinical.
Just connection, communication, and community — created because men deserve spaces built for them, with genuine care.
And now… it’s finally ready

At Mente Hermosa CIC,
Whether you’re a Dave, you know a Dave, or you’ve been a Dave… You don’t have to do this alone.

Stay tuned for when it launches and please help me, When it does to spread the word and come join us

Comment below if you know someone or want to be apart of it.

Incase you didn’t know I’m building a trauma‑informed, neurodiversity‑aware ecosystem for men.

It includes a membership community (The Dave Club), a behaviour‑change programme (The Dave programme), a corporate wellbeing offer, a national campaign, and high‑end retreats.

We are also applying for funding for different projects and I am really excited to be creating something that will help so many who are suffering in silence.

Everything is designed to help men regulate, reconnect and rebuild their lives through connection communication and community, As well as physical movement, real conversations and practical tools — without shame, stigma or judgement.

Welcome to Mente Hermosa CIC 👋

Exciting things are coming this year

Coming soon to Dunmow

As a certified trauma informed coach and psychotherapist I’ll be hosting local support groups in the coming months that bridge the gap where our mental health systems are at breaking point. They will be safe, community-based spaces offering bottom-up, trauma informed support through nervous system regulation tools.

We don’t “think” mental health and wellbeing, we “FEEL” it and these meetings will be low cost and all about giving you a chance to connect, talk AND learn tools on how to support your emotions with nervous system regulation.

I will be looking for low cost venues so please let me know if you have any contacts and my club will be focussed on mental health and well-being for parents.

Add your name below and I can add you to my list to contact you first.

Your mental health and wellbeing matters and as a brand partner with The Mental Wellbeing Company, we are dedicated to making that difference.

🚀 Exciting News from Mente Hermosa CIC!

Today we officially launch our new guide: Is Dave Okay?

A bold, unapologetic resource for recognising emotional struggle in men—and showing up before it’s too late.

This guide is for the brothers, the tradesmen, the athletes, the pub regulars. For the ones who joke through pain, shrink their needs, and carry the weight in silence.

Inside, you’ll find:

🔍 How to spot emotional struggle early
🧠 Trauma-informed tools for support
🗣️ Coaching offers for high-performing men who want more than surface success
🌿 Retreats, mentoring, and real talk—no pressure, no performance

And we’re just getting started…

🎙️ Beyond the Game podcast launches in January

👕 Clothing line drops soon
🎤 Coaching & events roll out from December through July

This isn’t just a guide. It’s a movement. Let’s rewrite what strength looks like. Let’s make emotional fluency normal.

🧠 What We Do & How We Do It

Mente Hermosa CIC

We support high-performing men in sports and trades who carry silent pressure, hidden trauma, and the weight of expectation. Our work is trauma-informed, emotionally intelligent, and rooted in lived experience.

We don’t just talk—we show up where they are.

💪 What We Do:

Mindset Locker Sessions: Emotional check-ins before or after training

1:1 Coaching: Resilience, identity, and emotional regulation

Team Talks: Group sessions on boundaries, pressure, and emotional truth

Legacy Mapping: Strategy for men ready to lead or mentor

Seasonal Events: Grotto, quiz nights, and healing through community

Merch & Messaging: Apparel that speaks emotional truth

🔧 How We Do It:

We partner with local sports clubs, boxing gyms, and trade hubs

We deliver PT-style support—short, sharp, and emotionally grounded

We meet men where they are: in locker rooms, on job sites, at the pub

We use visual campaigns and reels to normalize vulnerability

We offer CIC-funded sessions and co-funded training for clubs

📣 Why It Matters:

“I help everyone else but struggle to help myself.” “Behind every smile, there can still be a struggle the world can’t see.”
We’re here to change that.

🧠 Did You Know?

Men are less likely to seek help for mental health struggles—but not because they don’t feel them.

Many were taught to “man up,” “stay strong,” or “keep it in.” But silence isn’t strength. It’s survival mode.

💬 Talking doesn’t make you weak. It makes you brave enough to break cycles.

👷‍♂️ In trades, sports, and construction, emotional pain often hides behind humour, hard work, or isolation.

Let’s change that. One conversation, one safe space, one legacy at a time.

🧠 DAVE’S INNER DIALOGUE

He’s not loud about it. He won’t say “I’m struggling.” But if you listen closely, you’ll hear the weight in his silence.

“If I say I’m not okay, will they think I’m weak?”
“I don’t want to be a burden.”
“No one would understand anyway.”
“I should just get on with it.”
“I’m scared of what happens if I stop pretending.”

This is Dave. Your mate. Your brother. Your colleague. He’s the man who holds it all together—for everyone but himself.

Let’s stop waiting for a breakdown to show we care. Let’s start listening before the silence gets louder.

📥 Coming soon the guide: Is Dave Okay?
🛠️ Includes signs to look for, support tips, and Dave’s emotional toolkit

“He Said He Didn’t Want Marriage or Kids…” Until He Did—with Her.

It’s a story we hear often. A woman spends years with a man who says he’s not ready. Not ready for commitment. Not ready for kids. Not ready for anything serious.

Then suddenly—he is. With someone else.

And the questions come flooding in:

Was I not enough?
Was she better?
Were we just not compatible?

Let’s break it down—no judgment, just truth.

When a man says, “I’ve got no time for a relationship.”
“I don’t want anything serious.”
“I’m not the settling-down type.”

He might believe it. But often, he’s not speaking from clarity—he’s speaking from trauma.

🧠 His nervous system may be in survival mode. He’s avoiding vulnerability. Avoiding responsibility. Avoiding the risk of being seen and rejected.

So he pushes love away. Not because the woman wasn’t enough— But because he didn’t feel enough.

Then later, when he’s regulated, when he’s done some healing, when the timing feels safer—he might show up differently. And yes, it hurts

Because the woman was the mirror. She was the moment that asked him to grow. And he couldn’t.

At Mente Hermosa, we help men do the work before the damage is done:

🔹 We help them figure out what they truly want—not what fear tells them to avoid.
🔹 We teach them to express needs and desires with honesty and care—not defensiveness or delay.
🔹 We guide them to regulate their nervous system—so they can show up with clarity, not chaos.

Because when a man heals, he doesn’t just become available. He becomes intentional. He stops ghosting and starts communicating. He stops running and starts building.

So if you’ve ever felt replaced, confused, or betrayed—know this: It wasn’t about your worth. It was about his wounds.

And if you’re a man reading this—ready to stop repeating patterns and start building legacy—

We’re here. Let’s figure out what you really want. And help you say it with truth, not trauma
