From Royal Signals to Synapses | Creator of The MAVA Method

 

Ian doesn’t just talk about nervous system regulation, he decodes it.

A former British Army Foreman of Signals turned mental fitness specialist, Ian brings military-grade precision to the most complex system on Earth: your mind-body interface.
 

He’s spent over two decades coaching leaders, creatives, and high performers through breakdowns, breakthroughs, and burnouts. His method? MAVA - a revolutionary nervous system-first approach merging contemporary meditation with polyvagal theory - to activate embodied clarity, calm, and creative power in minutes.

The MAVA Transmission

MAVA isn’t a mindset hack. It’s a mental operating system upgrade. Born from the trenches of resistance, performance pressure, trauma, and relentless noise - Ian’s approach helps you:

Reset your patterns

Re-inhabit your body

Reclaim your presence
 

Whether you’re stuck in survival mode or scaling your next creative peak, Ian translates the language of your nervous system into actionable steps to move on with your life.

No Fluff. Just Flow.

Ian’s approach is direct, grounded, and unapologetically focused on you. He doesn’t promise enlightenment, he offers embodiment. His work is for those ready to stop outsourcing their healing to failing or addictive methods - and start mastering your inner self, first.
 

The Inner Work

MAVA awakens you to the real, by reminding you of your deepest dimension - as a human being. It builds humans who are grounded, coherent, and un-upsettable. You rewrite your mental operating system and narrative of your life - from reactive to rhythmic.
