Phil as a Mind-Body Connection Expert

Everything that Phil does considers the powerful connection between the mind and the body and that when this is used for the good it can have a transformational effect on our relationships, work, health, happiness – basically everything!!

Building on this further Phil researched how this can be used in business, sport and with addictions and created his P4 and TRP trainings.
