Hey there, I'm Kevin
I had to learn, slowly and sometimes painfully, how to live inside my own mind and body.
What matters most to me is helping people understand themselves rather than trying to fix themselves.
And helping them feel safe enough to stay with what’s happening inside, instead of running from it.
That’s how I work.
That’s what I care about.
How I Got Here
My parents met after arriving in Australia as refugees from the Vietnam War.
They were both carrying unresolved trauma, but their focus was survival — finding work, building stability, raising a family.
My mum used to tell me I was “too emotional.” She could be harsh and controlling. My dad was emotionally distant and numbed himself with alcohol, cigarettes and gambling. When I was still in primary school, he left for Vietnam without telling anyone. He just left a note and some money. When he came back, no one talked about it.
Home didn’t feel safe or peaceful. There was financial stress, constant tension and a lot of emotional volatility. So I learned how to stay out of the way. How to people-please. How to suppress what I felt. How to leave the house whenever things got too heavy.
None of this was dramatic in a movie-script sense — but it did shape me. It shaped how I related to love, safety, power and worth. I didn’t realise that until much later, though.
WHEN IT FELL APART
At university, I turned to alcohol to escape. Music helped me express anger I didn’t know how to feel directly.
My relationships were messy — control issues, trust issues, guilt, emotional manipulation, people-pleasing.
Then I moved to London and kept going.
From the outside, it looked like freedom.
On the inside, I slid into depression.
When I quit my job and moved back to Sydney, I felt broken.
I was sleeping on a sofa bed at my mum’s place, carrying a lot of shame and no real tools to work with it.
My mind felt like a war zone.
Looping thoughts.
Suppressed emotions.
A brutal inner critic.
I didn’t trust myself.
And I knew I couldn’t keep living like that.
LOOKING FOR A WAY OUT
So I started reading everything I could: Psychology. Emotional intelligence. Trauma. Nervous system regulation. Inner child work. Boundaries.
I spent a year in India training in Hatha & Kundalini Yoga, Energy Healing and Sound Therapy. I explored holistic health and alternative medicine. All of it helped — but none of it fully explained why my patterns existed in the first place. I wanted to understand them at the soul level, not just the mental one.
So I dove deeper into spirituality: Angels. Ascended masters. Galactic history. Elementals. Psychic development. Energy activations. Retreats that cracked my sense of reality wide open.
I had collected a lot of information, but the biggest shifts came when I stopped looking outward and started developing my own Inner Work practice.
Something simple.
Something repeatable.
Something I could use every time I was triggered.
A way to understand my thoughts, process my emotions and rebalance my energy. Instead of bypassing what I felt, I learned how to accept, allow and move through it. That’s where things began to change.
What I teach now
Over time, that personal process became a structured framework.
Not clinical.
Not theoretical.
Built from what I actually lived.
The Inner Alchemy Transcendence Method is a way of working with triggers so they become insight instead of shame, and wisdom instead of collapse.
It brings together:
emotional awareness
pattern recognition
nervous system safety
energetic coherence
So that Inner Work isn’t abstract, confusing or overwhelming.
I don't teach this process from textbooks.
I teach it from scar tissue.
WHY I DO THIS
We’re taught algebra and history, but not:
how to process emotions
how to set boundaries
how to care for our inner child
how to manage our energy
Most of us were never shown this by our parents either. If I had found out about Inner Work earlier, adulthood would’ve felt very different.
That’s why I created Academy of Transcendence — to share the skills and perspectives I had to piece together myself.
It started as small circles with friends after work. Then workshops. Then an online course.
Now it’s grown into a larger container for people who want to understand themselves and live more consciously.
Not to escape being human — but to inhabit it more fully.
WHAT I’M ACTUALLY GOOD AT
I don’t think of these as gifts.
I think of them as things I had to develop in order to survive — and then learned how to use consciously.
I’m good at:
sitting with emotional depth
sensing what’s happening beneath the surface
recognising patterns
translating complex inner experiences into simple language
holding space without trying to control or rescue
That’s what I bring into my work.
Not answers.
Not authority.
Presence and perspective.
WHAT I BELIEVE
I don’t think our lives are random.
I believe our souls choose experiences that stretch us, even when they hurt.
That doesn’t make everything okay.
But it gives everything meaning.
I don’t hold resentment toward my childhood or my parents.
They were part of the curriculum my soul chose.
And even in the darkest moments — the shame, the despair, the disconnection —
something in me kept moving toward truth and love.
That’s what brought me back to myself.
IF THIS RESONATES
If you’re here, something in this probably feels familiar.
You don’t need fixing.
You don’t need saving.
You don’t need to become someone else.
You need practical tools that empower you to take charge of your life.
If you’d like to explore this work, you’ll find different ways to do that through Academy of Transcendence — from community spaces, to guided journeys, to deeper immersions. However you arrive, you’re welcome.
I’m Kevin — thanks for taking the time to read my story.
If it resonated, I look forward to walking with you.
