After moving from Germany to Australia with his family at the age of 8, Max found no sense of belonging and did whatever he could to try and fit into the new culture that he found himself in.   He has always loved moving his body and found an array of sports that engaged his interest such as mountain biking, surfing, snowboarding, martial arts and running. This is what kept him going in his early years.   Having little idea of what interested him professionally after finishing school, he chose an apprenticeship as a fitter & turner (metal fabrication) for 3.5 years and focused heavily on martial arts training & competition in his free time.   Dissatisfied with what was showing up in his life, he formed a close friendship with a mentor and discovered his healing capacities and desire for more in life.   He went on to study Naturopathy at University for 5 years while seeking his ‘more’ through alternative healing techniques, men’s groups, inner-workshops, traditional medicines and new age modalities.   Meeting his first wife at University, he became a father of 2 children earlier than he expected and built a house after finishing his degree.   Applying the answers he learnt during his studies, his health had slowly deteriorated without any apparent reason and doctors and alternative practitioners were unable to provide any solutions or a clear diagnoses.   Thinking he should have the answers to fix his health with his new knowledge, he realised he was missing something substantial in his life.   When he began learning the tools of Access Consciousness 2 years after finishing his degree, his life changed radically. He had never learnt the tools to remove the limitations in his life and create it in a way that actually worked.   The simple definition of ‘consciousness’, coined by Gary Douglas - Consciousness includes everything and judges nothing - was the journey he was looking for. To this day it continues; the infinite possibility.   Now, married to Shannon O’Hara, also a successful Access Consciousness certified facilitator and founder of Talk To The Entities, he travels the world facilitating classes and inviting people to choose the possibilities they are aware of.   What are you capable of that you have not yet accessed?   Is it time?

Alicia Cadiz graduated from Ramapo College of New Jersey in 2019, with a degree in Psychology and Criminology. Alicia then went on to attend Manhattan College where she obtained her Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2021. Throughout her two year Masters's Degree program, Alicia worked with veterans, helping acclimate them from deployment life to academic-civilian life, in addition to working at a Mental Health agency in Rockland County, NY. Once the pandemic took over the world, Alicia moved to Florida after graduating with her Master's Degree and worked in the Florida prison system for two years as a mental health therapist (pre-licensure). Alicia helped the incarcerated population overcome addiction, navigated the trials and tribulations of those who had a life sentence, and provided de-escalation, crisis, and behavioral management techniques. During this time Alicia worked grueling 12-hour days, yet still managed to pass her licensure exam (NCMHCE) to become fully licensed in the state of Florida. This experience taught Alicia the meaning of hard work, dedication, ambition, and most importantly, that you can achieve anything you work hard enough for, as long as you believe you are strong enough to make a difference in the world. At the start of 2024, Alicia launched her own private practice, Healing With Alicia, specializing in relationship issues, breakups, and addiction, with an emphasis on helping those gain their confidence back as well as helping rebuild their self-esteem. Alicia believes that it's her job to help you navigate your story and pinpoint your strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. Alicia is here to support and empower you on your journey to healing.

Eldon Hernandez is an executive wellbeing coach and wellness entrepreneur based in Miami, Florida, and the founder of Aire Azul Ventures. He works with director-level and C-suite professionals caught in what he calls the Success Trap: commanding the boardroom while losing the battle at home.   He came to the work the long way. Born and raised in New York, he earned a degree in Multimedia and Graphic Design in 2005 and moved to Chicago, where a career in web development took off. New city, new title, more money, his own place, and the same pattern followed him. That move became his own proof that the success-sacrifice cycle is not a strategy problem. It is a systems problem.   Los Angeles came in 2009. In 2018, he founded Fired Up Athletics, a fitness center where he watched accomplished professionals train their bodies with total discipline while their lives quietly came apart. A period of family cancer, death, and upheaval brought him to Miami in 2019 and to coaching full-time.   Wellness is a family inheritance. His mother was a pioneering health food store owner, and his twin brother is a practicing psychotherapist. Eldon is a P90X-certified and group fitness-certified instructor, giving him standing in physical performance that is earned rather than borrowed.   His framework, The Command Protocol, moves clients through three phases: Command, Calibrate, Conquer. It is delivered in COMMAND & CONQUER, a 90-day program of twelve private one-on-one sessions that works on professional strategy, physical vitality, and mental clarity in parallel rather than in sequence, because high achievers will optimize themselves to exhaustion if you hand them mindset work alone.   He is the author of The Professional's Guide to Personal Fulfillment and has been featured in Top 100 Magazine. He is a coach, not a therapist. His work is action-oriented, forward-focused, and built for people who are functioning well externally and feel wrong internally.
