HUMAN PERFORMANCE COACH · FACILITATOR · RELATIONSHIP BUILDER

Building relationships
that move people.

I create environments where people reconnect with themselves, each other, and what matters most.

01 · THE THROUGHLINE

Business mind.
Athletic spirit.
Human-first work.

My work lives where human connection, experience, and business meet.

Born and raised in Nairobi, shaped by Toronto, and transformed by sport and life in Lisbon, I have always been an explorer—of places, performance, emotion, and what brings people together.

2023 · LISBON, PORTUGAL

Football, injury, and inner work changed the direction of my life—and taught me that human performance begins with how we meet ourselves.

With a background in Global Management Studies and Psychology, I bring both structure and sensitivity to every room. Whether I am guiding an immersive experience, supporting a global travel team, or building a new partnership, the intention remains the same: create trust, move with purpose, and leave people better than I found them.

A science-informed experience that assesses how a room is breathing, then guides people through regulation, breath-and-flow, meditation, visualization, and integration.

SIGNATURE EXPERIENCE · SOUND + BREATH

Resonance

A meditative sound and breath journey for deep rest, softer attention, and amplified presence.

Gentle breath, guided awareness, live instruments, intentional silence, and spatial sound form a deliberate arc from external noise to internal listening.

04 · IN THEIR WORDS

“Some sessions are special. Everyone feels it. I was fortunate to participate in Ziyan's Reset journey. Ziyan led the class so beautifully, and with such genuine intention, that he created a pivotal breakthrough in my own journey. I have never experienced that much space—or such perfectly timed guidance. I'm grateful for Ziyan, and for everyone lucky enough to be part of this experience.”
