My name is Rolando, my life experiences of being born in an urban community and having early exposure to extreme gang violence and drug use has prepared me to be the ideal life coach to work with men from all walks of life. I was a high school participant who just went through the process and participated in all the activities related to teenage identity crisis and doing what it takes to be accepted. I am from very humble beginnings and understands the impact of poverty and how it influences identity and quality of life. I engaged in several lifestyle career choices including fashion designing, sales and marketing, and has experienced the pangs as a divorcee. I went back to university as a mature age student and noticed that there was a gap in psychological, emotional supports for men. I developed an appetite to work with men from serving as a sports coordinator in university and noticed that outside of athleticism many men were seeking for a space to find emotional security to become their best self. My passion pushed me to learn more about the psychological implications and how men are impacted by their belief, culture, and societal expectations. Currently. I bring to XY Spark a wealth of life experience, years of working with men who struggle with addictions, mental health, relationship struggles, self esteem and depression. My philosophy is that there is a spark in every man to be the best version of themselves and to become a man of steel who practices holistic healthy masculinity. I am not just a theory oriented life coach for men but one who brings practical solutions that will empower and transform the lives of men from every ethnic background or cultural orientation. I understands the struggles of a man and has dedicated my life to learning more about the barriers and struggles that impacts holistic healthy masculinity. In my role as psychotherapist I offer supports to help men discover their inner strengths to become true champions.
