The Full Story
About
My name is Dennis Vandenbergh, certified wellness coach, mentor and life altering specialist.
I have spent my life learning and growing to better myself and now this is my way of giving back and to do what I am most passionate about. Helping people get the best out of their lives and navigate the mental road blocks that keep them from living a balanced happy and fulfilling life.
It was 21 years ago, in the year 2000 that I started my path of becoming a life coach. Similar to most of you, I had no idea at the time that all of my struggles and life lessons would be the foundation of my practice and self mastery. I was Kidnapped at the age of 15 (Escorted) legally and shipped off to a behavior modification program where I would begin my training into becoming the man I am today. Although this was my second boarding school as a child, this was where I would learn and put into practice everything I needed to survive and thrive as a young adult and into manhood.
The greatest gift I was given by this experience was the ability to observe and listen to my surroundings. I had somewhat taken on a vow of silence, only speaking when needed and never having unnecessary conversations. This gave me the ability to see beyond the world I had once known and into a world of Psychology and the inner workings of the human mind and consciousness.
After College, where I studied Psychology, behavioral studies and business. I went on to own and operate a successful house painting company for 15 years. During these 15 years I spent thousands of hours studying and contemplating theories of human psychology, philosophy and spirituality; studying the amazing works of Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud and many other highly respected psychologists. The last five years were my favorite and most challenging times of this period of my life. This is when I consciously chose to enter my own mind and explore the inner workings of both my subconscious and conscious mind, linking my passion and love for psychology to the every deepening rabbit hole of spirituality. I understand the inner workings of the mind and the delicacy in which it needs be treated. I am not here to diagnose or put labels on anyone, I am here to be a guide, from one state of mind to another.
Mission
Orion Wellness Academy offers a program that promotes change and consistent growth for you and your loved ones. My life has been devoted to developing and creating a powerful program to reach out to the black sheep, the people who don't fit into society's "normal" mold. I was once a lost child searching through the stars to find my place in the world, but my sense of security and stability came when I began to feel free and allow my creative spirit to fly.
I left public school feeling unfulfilled and uneducated, and with many self-limiting beliefs. Can you remember when you were a child, or are you still a child without any ideas or desires of what you want to become? I was like you in that I had no idea what I wanted to be; I floated through my life without a clear direction. The stress and instability of this lifestyle allowed me to acquire a wide array of practical life skills and entrepreneurial abilities. The skills I have learned include building houses, maintaining cars, working with computers, accounting, nutritional health, bodybuilding, quantum physics, psychology, art, investing, flying airplanes and many more.
It is true that life is the greatest teacher. However, most of us spend our childhoods and lives not knowing how to live and navigate our true potentials. Orion Wellness Academy will guide you and help you find your true self, the one the world needs and is waiting for. Here, you will begin to live a truly fulfilling life.
Vision
My Vision is to create an environment that addresses the obvious lack of self education that our society as a whole has neglected to acquire. We as a society have invested all of our time on acquiring external sources of happiness, which in turn has caused a sizable obstacle in having and maintaining a healthy and balanced community.
We as a community will effectivly educate, inspire and lead the children of tommorow into becoming the balanced, highly educated and respectful grownups that our society needs to thrive in the future.
Having a vision like this will have a tremendous ripple effect on everyone whom is involved, we hope to inspire the adults, the parents and the sibling of every student of Vandenbergh School of Life.
