Family

Troy grew up in a traditional two parent and three kids family dynamic. 

on church / non practising religion but with strong values, loyal and conservative.

"Normal, standard/boring upbringing in his words (not mine). 

Troy is youngest sibling of three children (older brother and sister). 

His Mom and Dad are still happily married.

​

Career Change

Troy worked in the retail sector (Groceries) since leaving school from 2007 - 2022.

A creature of habit, he remained at the same store for 14years until 2021.

Even with being promoted along the way (team and department manager roles), he never saw retail as a career for him, rather it was only a job.

A goal of his had always been to own and run a small business. He started Monkey Healing Hands as a side venture in 2019, with hopes he could one day grow his customer base to be able to dedicate himself to only helping people (healing) for work.

Covid-19 was the trigger that inspired him to make a change and take control of his professional trajectory.

Monkeys Healing Hands started as a hobby business in his free time, but suddenly was receiving his full attention and efforts (multiplied, with my dedicated focus/support through all of summer.  

Every hour dedicated to growing it and making a success of it, since late last year.  

  

​

Mental Health

For many years, Troy had regularly battled with serious demons (depression).

Like so many like him, he struggled with anti-depressant medication and the significant side effects.

He was losing himself a little more each day in the fog of pharmaceuticals and couldn't, wouldn't accept what he constantly was hearing as the same response to his repeated pleas for some alternative solutions (other than medication and its nasty side effects), from those leading his treatment plan to get better and recover.... "It will get better, over time" they said. "Let's increase your dose and just keep taking more tablets. It does get better, why else would millions of people around the world take them if it didn't work". In what world could more tablets be the solution and swapping one dark place with one lost / numb place instead. In a desperate attempt to reclaim his sanity and fear of forgetting who he once was, he went on discovery mission.  

He discovered Reiki in his search and instantly connected with the values, benefits, principles and logic of Reiki - it made sense. It was familiar. It felt right. 

​

This positive methodology, constructive escape / outlet and significant life change was the foundation of his recovery and healing. Troy emersed himself in Reiki healing sessions and then continued training and developing his personal growth and capability as a Reiki Master and Therapist helping others, became the saviour he had longed for but was losing hope he'd every find.

​

Troy was able to address his demons and get closure from working through the root causes of his depression and successfully cease any use or reliance on anti-depressant medication due to Reiki and his healing (stemming from child abuse he experienced when he was younger). Through the healthy additional distraction (post healing) of dedicated study, he was able to rebuild himself, his value and confidence.

​

He is now a strong, confident, emotionally balanced and highly functional young man.  

Acutely aware of his surroundings and highly in tune with his clients, his reiki capabilities, the universe and energies. 

He has emerged out the other side of depression and regained a healthy and effectively maintained mental health condition from how he has embraced a spiritual enlightenment journey, self-discovery, growth and a passionate desire to do what he loves and practice Reiki / Access Bars (all day/every day. 

​

The universe delivered a significant gift in the form of an amazing soul with the wisdom, experience, knowhow and energy needed to spark and enable Troy's healing, Reiki and personal transformation.

This gift was in the form of an exceptionally talented, highly skilled and experienced spiritual guru, Paula.

Monkey's Healing Hands

How the Monkey Hands came to be?

In 2019, Troy embarked on a spiritual journey of self- discovery, healing and growth for his 30th Birthday (solo) through Peru and South America. It was in Peru, where he encountered one of his many spirit guides (a monkey) for the first time and knew immediately this was the business name he was destined to create.   

 Working 50+ hour weeks as a frontline people leader in a demanding grocery retail industry challenged his ability to launch and develop / scale rapidly for Monkey's Healing Hands.  The unexpected COVID pandemic impacts soon after, only further restricted Troy to operate the business for the first two years to weekends only.   

Late last year (2021), Troy decided to take control of his life, career pathway and ensure happiness. So, he resigned from his job of 17years he no longer enjoyed and dedicated himself 100% to building the business in to a successful and sustainable (full time) operation and realise his dream.

He couldn't be happier and more excited to embrace this chapter.
