In their words

Courtney Nygaard

retreat programme with Santo

I attended a group programme led by Santo and it was truly life-changing. His knowledge and expertise about how our brains and bodies work, paired with his incredible facilitation skills, made for a wonderful experience. It sounds overkill to say it was life-changing, but that is honestly the best way to describe an experience that has caused me to go from someone who is working themself to death to someone who is caring for my mind and body first and foremost. My priorities have shifted, and I now build in regular journal breaks to clear my mind and process my emotions. Santo made everyone in the group feel safe and welcome. We all felt seen and were able to be vulnerable with one another. Santo is connected to his emotions in a way that invites others to do the same. I am really grateful I chose to participate in this experience because I have so many more tools now to pull from. Thank you Santo.

I met Santo on a retreat programme and we were met with love. Santo embodies kindness, empathy, graciousness — and he sees each individual. All of my classes and encounters with Santo were fun, playful, humorous, and engaging. Santo has the ability to be gentle and light with his approach, but the content is so very deep. He opened my eyes and heart and encouraged me to seek more, to learn more. Exploring awe and wonder has brought so much joy to my life. I am so grateful for Santo's knowledge and also his heart to see others all live better. I really hope we cross paths again.

retreat programme with Santo

A few days ago we went on a retreat programme, and it challenged me to step out of my comfort zone and adapt to different conditions. There, I met Santo, who — little by little, and in just a few days — taught us to look within ourselves. It was a very enriching and profound experience. Santo has a special touch, and an incredible human quality. Thank you for this reset, and for the patience with which you guided us to know and discover — even at my age — things I didn't know about myself. Many blessings, and my sincere gratitude.

1:1 sessions with Santo

Since the beginning, our sessions helped me start identifying my goals in the moment. You gave me space to feel heard and supported in my ideas, and I reached many personal goals in a short time. The homework you gave me — the writing and the meditations in nature — helped me slow down and analyse my "base goals" that had been buried for a long time. Our conversations about different disciplines showed me how to use these tools for the goal I was working on in the present. Never feeling judged or pushed allowed me to open up and trust the process completely. I achieved so many things I had always wanted to do. What I hadn't done in years, I was able to do in about a year and a half working with you.

MA Clinical Counseling · retreat programme with Santo

Santo brought a depth of knowledge to topics like the nervous system, sympathetic dominance and the ventral vagal system, ensuring each participant felt informed and empowered. He led tension and trauma releasing exercises with both encouragement and professionalism, and his insights into nutrition, hormones and cold thermogenesis resonated with many attendees.

Santo's ability to draw people into the conversation, while also managing dominating characters, was a testament to his exceptional skills. His use of minimal encouragers and paraphrasing made participants feel heard and validated, and his sensitivity to the needs of each group member fostered a therapeutic relationship built on trust and vulnerability. Santo created a safe and accepting environment, cultivating a space where participants could openly process their emotions and engage in future planning. His ability to attune to each individual was evident.

workshop with Santo

I tried a workshop with Santo. Usually I am uncomfortable in groups — I find them rushed, or that people don't fully settle into the practice. But with Santo it was simple and graceful. His voice is so soothing, and he was so present with all of us. Checking and teaching us through the whole time. It definitely opened a new perspective in me.

Santo created the perfect blend of compassion, empathy and fun during his retreat programme. Seeing his passion and learning about his own journey, inspired me to take better care of myself — and take steps towards a career in the wellness space. Thank you Santo.

workshop with Santo

One of the most carefully organised, highest value events I have ever been to in London — in an extraordinary space with welcoming, prepared and experienced facilitators. Blending science with spirituality and deep, shared experience, I came away feeling moved towards a more connected way of life, and full of ideas for my own artistic practices. Honestly could not recommend any team or event more highly.

workshop with Santo

I have been lucky enough to have experienced Santo's facilitation skills on several occasions. I've been amazed at his ability to bring the group together and engage all our input. He is great with people — caring and thoughtful. I would highly recommend Santo as a facilitator.

workshop with Santo for Omnicom

I enjoyed learning about the differences between joy, happiness, and toxic positivity. Making a daily effort to prioritise our own joy — just as we prioritise our clients.

This session was super energizing, actionable and joyful. I was feeling kind of low energy today, and this brought my energy back up.
