Bentley Wellness

05/07/2025

Update: Hi Friends family and past clients. It's been a long time!
I was in Melbourne recently, I had an interview to go over to Qantas mainline (from QantasLink). I've already heard back with a successful result! So will be starting on international routes and aircraft sometime in the next 1-2 years.
I understand this Bentley Wellness page has been lacking in the last few years of anything relevant to health.
I started Bentley Wellness in ~ 2013 when I was about 29 years old. At that time, I'd already been flying for 11 years. I was suffering burnout, depression and had a child with developmental issues.
Subsequently I took a break from flying of 6 years. I beat depression, got fit, and started a very successful business helping others. It was some of the very best years of my life. Most importantly, I spent some very much needed time with my son.
I helped hundreds of people overcome their obstacles.
Interestingly... as I did therapy with other people, I would also be doing therapy on myself! It was a wonderful system.
In 2019 I felt I was ready to re-enter the flying industry. Since then it's been a whirlwind of success. I've enjoyed being a captain at QantasLink for some time now.
I'm looking forward to the next chapter of flying as an international pilot with an airline like Qantas that has an enviable safety record.
This is a step in my life that will tick-off a childhood dream.
Now at 41 years old, if there's something I want you to get out of this is - never give up! This took me 23 years.
I look forward to sharing the journey ahead.

Today I finished a 40 day biblical fast! In Christian circles known as the "Daniel fast"
I abstained from all solid food (only having liquids (juice, stock, water)
During Covid, I really lost my way as I did two week isolations four times . All of the gyms shut and I got Coles delivery and ate way too many croissants.😂 it's taken this long for me to get back on my feet but feel so much better for it.
If anyone wants some guidance on fasting, send a message.

Because I fly

I laugh more than other men.
I look up and see more than they.

I know how the clouds feel,
What it's like to have the blue in
my lap,
to look down
on birds,
to feel freedom in a thing called
the stick ...

Who but I
can slice between God's
billowed legs,
and feel then laugh and crash
with His step?

Who else has seen the
unlimbed peaks?
The rainbow's secret?
The real reason birds sing?

Because I Fly,
I envy no man on earth.

First sector as captain done ✔️
Had to refrain from telling the passengers over the PA that it was my first day on the job 😬
Big thanks to Alex for being a great First Officer

It all became very real when families and mum's with babies were piling on board. 🛫

I got to speak to students from another high school today about following a career as a pilot in the Qantas group!

Yesterday I had the opportunity to talk to aviation students at a Perth high school and give them some guidance in their career path.
A notable 15 year old lad had already done his first solo flight, and is funding his training by working after school as a carpenter. Bravo 👏

MANIFESTATION

The important thing to remember about the unconscious mind is that it is ALWAYS below the level of conscious thought. No more than you can see the transformations underground which change a seed into a plant can you see the hidden workings of the unconscious mind.

Plant good seeds.

In 2020 I was stood down from my flying job for 6-months. Not many people were interested in coaching and we weren't allowed to massage.
So I went and drove buses for transperth for those 6 months.
Wandering around Fremantle yesterday I found this bus and it brought back some memories.

Definitely met some delights
