King Nerio is a ICF Certified, Holistic Embodiment Coach. He is a 3rd Generation Medicine Man utilizing the experiences and wisdom from his forefathers and a holistic and result driven approach to coaching. He helps men embody their most confident self and create a positive self-worth so they can create healthy and meaningful relationships with women, live the life they desire and become a healthy and positive role model for society. King Nerio also hosts meditation and mindfulness workshops to teach people mindfulness practices to deepen their awareness, increase their clarity and live a life grounded in the present moment. King’s journey in the healing world began early, when he was younger, anytime he was ill, one of his grandmother who was a shaman/medicine woman would be called in to perform a healing ceremony. This often includes deep tissue massages, the use of oils, herbs, and prayers. Growing up in the Philippines, traditional medicine was well known and practiced in his family and community, cultivating reverence and inspiring curiosity in his young adult life. In 2017, he went to his first retreat, a 10-day Vipassana Meditation retreat in Youngstown, Alberta, Canada. It was there that he met some interesting people, a real estate entrepreneur turned into a nomad, a PhD graduate who wanted to heal his patients using herbs, and so many other interesting individuals. It was in that event that he experienced first hand the potent power of meditation. Then, in the same year, he went to Sedona, Arizona, USA for 2 weeks and studied indigenous wisdom under the guidance of an elder. He did his first vision quest and experienced powerful transformations that initiated him for the next step in his spiritual journey. During this time, he had a small marketing agency called Profit Inbound which helps businesses get more leads on social media. After his vision quest, something changed that made him stop the business and go within. He gained clarity on his purpose in life, the impact he wants to create and the legacy he wanted to leave behind. This forced him to create drastic changes and initiated him into his healing journey. This Healing Journey took him to many places, inspiring him to go to various workshops like Landmark Worldwide, 10x Growth Con and Power of Success by Tony Robbins to name a few. In 2018, another turning point happened, he met Wim Hof, this initiated his journey into breath work and cold therapy. After practicing it for 5 years, he became confident enough to host and facilitate free events that introduced the power of breath work and cold therapy. His intention was to bring the community together in the spirit of healing and connection. He hosted several events with his friends that sparked a community that now host weekly dips in our local river. In 2023, he was able to bring this experience and wisdom to his hometown of Camarines Sur, a province in the Philippines where he spoke and taught the community and college students the power of meditation, mindfulness, and breath work. Now, he teaches men how to be more confident, self-assured and create a positive self-worth so they can have healthy and meaningful relationships with women, create the life they want and become a positive role model for society.

Hi and welcome to our profile page for The Viking Buddha. My name is David Bentley, aka The Viking Buddha. I have been a therapist since 2004. I am a qualified Hypnotherapist and Consultant Master Hypnotist. I am also a qualified Stress Management Consultant and experienced Mental Health & Wellness Practitioner. At around the same time as qualifying as an Hypnotherapist I also qualified as an Holistic Therapist including different massage techniques and as a clinical reflexologist. Over the years I have added many different models of cognitive therapies and Subconscious models to my qualifications such as CBT, DBT, SFBT, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Gestalt Therapy, REBT, Neuro Linguistic Programming, EMDR and a number of other modalities. I am also a meditation and breathwork practitioner, yoga nidra teacher, and laughter yoga practitioner. From a physical wellbeing point of view i have also studied functional medicine and precision health, the natural cancer protocol, autoimmune solution, and also studied deeper about menopause, insulin resistance, gut heath, type 2 diabetes reversal, and adrenal fatigue and inflammation. As a therapist who first started out being qualified as a Hypnotherapist, I found that this was without a doubt the best technique for the mind, but also wanted to become an all round mind management expert, and i wanted this wholistic approach for the mind and the body alike, as its not enough to just fix the mind or the body. In modern life many of us have gone through many mental challenges including stress, mental health issues, trauma, abuse which need dealing with to live a healthy life, but also modern food and tixins also but so many pressures on teh human body such as the Standard American Diet, junk food, modified foods, environmental toxins etc, which affect our gut health, adrenals, thyroids, and many problems start in the gut, and also with problems such as insulin resistance which eventually leads to adrenal fatigue and autoimmune problems. It is my passion to help people improve their lives both mentally and physically. My other interests and passions also fit into this process which include epigenetics, neuroplasticity, and quantum embodiment. I am also a transformational life coach and a law of attraction coach, and I have already published two books 'The Awakening' and 'Radical Wellness' both of which are available in paperback and e-book format around the world. I have three more books due out in 2025, with a further three planned for 2026. I am also an experienced motivational speaker and workshop facilitator and my dream is to bring our Viking Buddha workshops and retreats all around the world to help as many people as we can.

Sarah Dessert is a native French educator, coach and founder of Sweet French Learning, where she helps English-speaking adults learn French with confidence, clarity, and ease. Originally from France and now based in Canada, she brings over 14 years of teaching experience and a deep understanding of adult language learning. Sarah began her teaching career in France before continuing her work with adult learners in Canada. Over time, she noticed a recurring pattern: many adults were not struggling because of the language itself, but because of fear, self-doubt, and discouraging school experiences. This insight led her to develop a different approach — one that places emotional safety and confidence at the center of the learning process. Fluent in both French and English, Sarah combines immersive instruction, personalized guidance, and confidence-building support to help learners communicate authentically from the very beginning. Her work blends linguistic expertise with a human, respectful approach that allows adults to progress without pressure or comparison. Through Sweet French Learning, Sarah’s mission is to help adults rediscover the joy of learning and reconnect with their ability to grow — both in French and beyond.
