From Survival Identity to Cognitive Identity
For the individual who’s always sensed more than they could articulate—this is where the work begins. This work explores how identity forms through experience and survival, so your future isn’t unconsciously shaped by your past.
Is Coaching Right for You?
If you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, or like the world wasn’t built for the way you think, coaching is for you. At Creed Academy, we give you a structured process to explore where you’ve been, where you’re going, and what’s getting in the way.
Who Is This Coaching Package For?
The Introspective Seeker
You’ve always felt there was more going on beneath the surface—internally and around you. But you’ve lacked the structure to make sense of it. This is where language meets intuition.

The Life Pivoting Professional
You’ve achieved what you were “supposed to”—career, independence, maybe even success. But something still feels misaligned. You don’t need motivation. You need a new internal framework.

Misunderstood Neurodivergent
You’ve always processed the world differently—faster, deeper, more emotionally—but no one showed you why. This session helps you understand your nervous system, not override it.

The Grounded Yet Curious
You’ve dipped into coaching, therapy, even spirituality—but now you’re ready to integrate it all. You want a clear, embodied understanding of your system, not just concepts or coping tools.

This is for those experiencing cognitive dissonance, decision fatigue, or a quiet drop in confidence, despite having everything they thought they wanted. Instead of focusing on habits or mindset tweaks, we trace your identity back to its roots: the early adaptations, social reinforcements, and protective strategies that shaped who you became. Over three phases (past, future, present), you’ll unpack the identity you built to survive and succeed, confront the internal contradictions that keep you stuck, and rebuild a self-defined foundation that feels deeply congruent.

Reframe the Past
The past doesn’t vanish just because you try to “move on” — it lives in your nervous system. If you’ve ever been mislabeled, misunderstood, or forced to adapt in ways that cost you connection, those patterns have become your survival identity.

Decode the Environment
Your identity didn’t form in isolation. The people, places, and systems around you shaped it. If you’ve ever felt like a different version of yourself depending on who you’re with, that’s your nervous system adapting for safety, not authenticity.

Reclaim Your Future
Your imagination and your memory share the same neural pathways, which means how you see your past shapes what you believe is possible for your future. If your survival identity is still running the story, every vision will be capped by old limits.

The mission of Creed Academy is to help you see through the mislabeling, to recognise the survival identity you built to be accepted, and to guide you back into the cognitive identity that has always been yours.

The Past
Your history holds more than memories — it holds the survival strategies your nervous system built to keep you safe. In our work together, we uncover the patterns, conditioning, and suppressed aspects of yourself that have shaped how you show up today. By tracing the root of these identities, you’ll stop blaming yourself for struggles that were never flaws, but adaptations.

The Future
The future is not about chasing goals that don’t feel like yours — it’s about building a vision rooted in your authentic identity. Together, we map what clarity, energy, and alignment would look like if you were no longer running on survival scripts. Instead of setting hollow targets, we create a future that feels congruent. One that doesn’t demand you perform, but allows you to expand.

The Present
The present is where transformation takes place. Through nervous system regulation, identity reframing, and cognitive alignment, we rebuild the architecture of how you experience life right now. It’s not about quick fixes — it’s about learning to live in congruence so your choices, relationships, and energy flow from authenticity rather than survival.

THE PROCESS
A 3-Part Immersion into Your Identity Architecture
Call 1: The Past
We return to where it began, looking at how your habits, thoughts, and responses were shaped by what you lived through. This session traces how your system learned to cope, how identity took form, and how certain ways of being were picked up quietly over time simply to make it through. What once felt like personality starts to reveal itself as adaptation.

Call 2: The Future
With the past in view, attention naturally shifts toward direction. This session explores how desire shows up now, where vision feels clear, and where it still feels distant or resisted, not as something to force, but as information about how perception is currently organised. Direction begins to emerge as alignment rather than ambition, as the system starts sensing where it can move without strain.

Call 3: The Present
The final session brings everything into the present. Attention turns to how your system is actually operating day to day, how insight shows up in the body, in decisions, and in the way you meet your life as it is. This is where understanding settles into regulation and clarity becomes something you live from, not something you think about, as the system you’re rebuilding starts to feel inhabitable.

3-call Identity package for $130 (You'll get redirected to Google Calendar to complete your booking.)
The Identity Session
Every life carries a visible story shaped through adaptation and response, alongside a quieter current that reflects how life wants to move when it no longer has to protect itself. Much of the tension people experience comes from the distance between these two movements. The Identity Session begins by helping those underlying survival patterns become visible, so that the life lived outwardly and the life felt inwardly can start moving together rather than apart.
Lead with sovereignty (your choices, relationships, and direction are rooted in your own authority, not in conditioning or survival scripts)
Decode the unseen patterns that have silently shaped your beliefs, decisions, and emotional triggers
Email + WhatsApp Support Between Sessions (Ask all your questions!)
Reframe your identity (shed survival scripts and reconnect with your true cognitive identity)
Until this work is done, it’s common to build a life that looks successful from the outside while feeling strangely disconnected from the inside.
Through this work, the sense of self stops being sourced externally and begins organising from within, giving the system a steadier point of reference.

Immersive Coaching Experience
You reach a point where the noise of life stops working. Where even success feels empty, and no matter how much you try to fix or optimise yourself, something deeper keeps calling. That’s where this begins. Hidden in the hills of New Zealand, this immersive experience strips away distraction, performance, and pressure until you remember what peace actually feels like. Surrounded by organic food, clean spring water, and quiet that heals, we’ll rebuild the architecture of your identity from the inside out, not to make you someone new, but to bring you back to who you were before the world told you who to be.
Daily Cognitive Sessions: Each day, we’ll uncover the architecture of your mind. How your identity was shaped by survival, and how to rebuild it from truth. These conversations become mirrors, revealing the unconscious patterns that have quietly directed your life.
Environment Designed for Restoration: Every detail, from organic meals and spring water to the stillness of untouched nature, is crafted to support your system and restore balance. The land itself becomes part of the work, quieting your mind so you can finally hear yourself again.
Integrated Identity Rebuilding: Each insight becomes embodied through daily practices designed to bridge reflection and real life. You’ll leave not just with awareness, but with the internal stability to live as your authentic self.
Personal Mentorship: Throughout your stay, you’ll work with me one-on-one in an environment free from noise or distraction. This isn’t surface-level coaching — it’s an intimate, guided process of unlearning who you became to survive so you can return to who you were meant to be.
Without this work, life stays loud. The body stays tense. And that quiet feeling of “something’s missing” never really leaves.
With it, life stops feeling like something you’re managing and starts feeling like something you’re truly living.
