“Attending the Phoenix Project was truly life-changing. The Coffee Morning and Beach Morning gave me the space to reconnect with parts of myself I had long overlooked and to release emotions I didn’t even realize I was holding onto.

Brooke’s insight, empathy, and genuine care made all the difference. It’s rare to meet someone who pours so much of themselves into helping others, and his ability to create such a safe, nonjudgmental space for transformation is unmatched. Every moment felt intentional and powerful, like peeling back layers of myself to uncover clarity and healing.

The exercises were challenging but so necessary. They gave me the tools to take back my power and move forward with purpose and hope. I left feeling lighter, stronger, and deeply inspired by the possibilities of change.

If you’re wondering whether to join the Phoenix Project, do it. It’s a journey of reflection, healing, and growth that will shift your life in ways you can’t imagine.”

"The Phoenix Project experience changed my life. Not knowing what exactly to expect, the Beach Morning, was one I can never forget. I can describe it as the morning that changed my entire self-worth approach and made me face my inner child and my Queen. From facing bravery and overcoming my biggest hold-back on my mental and emotional well-being, I walked away that day with courage, strength and a new attitude. I greatly recommend everyone to experience this profound life-changing journey with Brooke, his ability to be the vessel of positive change is outstanding & I will be forever grateful."

“The Phoenix Project has profoundly changed the way I experience and go through my life. One breath at a time. The awareness for my personality's key driving forces helps tremendously to take ownership through an intentional way of leading my life. Brooke is a true gem and a lot of wisdom and compassion shine through him. For anyone The Phoenix Project might be the ideal initiation or rather gentle rebirth into a life full of opportunities.”

"There are days in your life that take you by complete surprise - you wish that you could relive them and when the sun sets you know that it was one of the most significant days of your life and will never be forgotten. My beach morning with Brooke was such a day! From the beauty of the still fresh 6h00 air with the moon setting over a perfect ocean as the sun rose to the Golden Retriever pup who joined us to share her love, the Universe blessed us with a perfect day. Brooke held space so patiently through the burn as I let go of what no longer served me, understanding where my poor choices and decisions in life came from and how I can be a true Sovereign in my life. The primal scream into the waves is life changing and to turn around to the treat of a fluffy white gown is a treat! Then coffee and croissant and a recap of the day and a commitment to myself to do it differently - a Queen in my Queendom with my gang. Don't hesitate should you feel called - have your life changing morning with Brooke and become a part of the Phoenix Tribe!"

“The Phoenix project enabled me to reconnect with my inner child and deal with my maternal childhood abandonment wounds and by doing so and letting my inner child be heard, step by step I became my most true authentic self.

The journey of healing and working on oneself is never done, but the Phoenix project was for me one of the stepping stones in this journey sofar and unlearning things.

So I truly encourage everyone to step out of your comfort zone and start this journey of inner work by becoming part of the phoenix tribe. By doing so not only do yu heal, but yu make the world a more loving place for everyone.

And a huge shout out to Brooke. The work he does is truly special.”

"Wow what an epic day! I didn’t know really what to expect but I was blown away.

A HUGE thank you to Brooke for all his patience, kindness, generosity, wisdom, warmth and love. I actually think he might be a proper angel.

I was initially curious but admittedly cynical about the idea of screaming at the waves. I wondered what real difference it could make for me. However, my experience turned out to be profoundly transformative, from the Coffee Morning right the way through to the Beach Morning.

Brooke's generosity of spirit, kindness, and patience are remarkable. He has an extraordinary talent for cutting through the stories we tell ourselves and getting right to the heart of the matter. His intuitive wisdom and warmth made me feel completely at ease, allowing me to open up in ways I hadn't expected.

The beach morning was an incredibly beautiful and intimate experience. Screaming at the waves was a huge emotional and physical release for me. With Brooke's guidance I pieced together the final bits of my personal jigsaw puzzle. He didn't just help me identify what was holding me back; he also gave me useful tools to help myself in the future.

I am deeply grateful to Brooke for this unforgettable experience. He is a unique and special soul.  If you are ever lucky enough to get the opportunity to do the beach morning, or are even considering it. Dot it! It will change your life in ways you cannot imagine."

“You would be hard-pressed to find someone as caring, committed, and insightful as Brooke. Just by sheer force of how he shows up for you shows you how much your life and dreams matter. I was especially moved by the coffee session that preceded the beach morning. During our time together, Brooke meticulously helped me map out my life, identifying patterns and uncovering my deepest desires. Having worked with many coaches in the past, I was profoundly impressed by Brooke’s unique insights and the powerful way he conveyed them. The entire experience with The Phoenix Project was inspiring, empowering, and utterly heartwarming.”

“I had the privilege of experiencing Brooke’s guidance as I navigated my life and career goals, and it has been transformative. From our first coffee meet to early morning conversations by the beach, he didn’t just offer advice—he provided me with clear direction and a detailed map to help me navigate the complexities of life. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to cut out bad habits and let go of relationships that were holding me back.

What truly sets Brooke apart is his passion, selflessness, and personal sacrifice. He creates a safe space that allows you to open up, speak freely, and truly explore your thoughts and feelings. His willingness to help a stranger like me speaks volumes about his character and commitment to making a difference. Over time, he has become more than just a mentor; he has become a friend. I highly recommend the Phoenix Project to anyone looking to make meaningful changes in their life. Brooke is not just a guide; he’s a partner, a friend, and a trusted confidant in your journey to becoming the best version of yourself.”

“'Thank you Brooke. You’ve helped me find something I didn’t know was lost. It feels like I’ve been using a spanner to build a house instead of a hammer and now I get it. The gratitude I have is immense. The beach session was profoundly moving, revealing deep insights about myself that I had long overlooked or accepted without question. If you're on a journey to truly understand and unlock hidden parts of yourself, this experience is transformative. Guided every step by the incredible Brooke, it gently pushes you beyond your comfort zone in the most comforting way.''

The day of my Phoenix Beach Morning was the most powerful and life changing day of my entire life! I stood poised for whatever lay ahead, my mindset brimming with positivity, yet nothing could have prepared me for this profound transformation. With gentle care, you returned my arsenal of inner strength, helping me reclaim my shield, fastening my armor snugly around me, ensuring both safety and comfort. Under Brooke's guidance, I embraced my weaponry and protective gear, unleashing their power with every ounce of my being, fully aware of my capabilities. The person I was before December 16, 2023, feels like a distant memory now. I've come to realize something profound - I am an exquisite blend of royalty, resilience, and inner innocence. Moreover, I now recognize my own strength: I am indescribably capable, powerful, brave, and inherently worthy, more than I have ever realized! Thank you for creating this loving space for us Brooke - you will be blessed! Wish I could be there! Thank you King Brooke. With Love Queen Marika van Niekerk

As you participate in the process of discovery and revelation . He empowers you to take ownership of your life .

Not to be overly harsh on yourself , and to be more understanding of where these behaviours come from & how we got to THIS place:

Sat on a beach at 6:00 am on a Beautiful morning in Llandudno ,Cape Town . What a setting , and what a memorable morning :-)

“The beach mornings are a spectacular surprise from start to finish. Brooke not only lets you run with the time as you need but carefully, respectfully and with bucketloads of empathy and perfectly timed humour, guides you to golden moments of insight and breakthrough when you least expect it. It's a beautiful experience that seems magically suited to just what you need when you need it...even if you dont know you need it. Give it a try, it rewards ten-fold.”

"Curiosity, courage and a coffee - the three C’s that made me go for a coffee morning, which turned out to be the first day of Kat 2.0. I had no expectations and certainly no idea that this would be the most comfortable conversation about every aspect of the uncomfortable truth I had to face in order to become so happy, calm, focused, strong, free and empowered.

The beach morning with Brooke really made me understand who I really am instead of who I thought I should be.

Instead of drowning in an ocean of chaos, uncertainty and fear I’ve started to ride the waves of endless opportunity.

The real beauty about it? That beach morning hasn’t really ended. It’s an endless gift that will always accompany me every moment of this beautiful journey to become the best and most powerful version of myself. When life becomes: effortless, frictionless, limitless."

"My phoenix morning.

The morning I spent on the beach igniting my phoenix was a pivotal point in my life for myself.

I showed up for every part of myself and even the darkest parts I hid from the world.

Brooke held the space in a way where I felt so safe and free to be vulnerable.

It gave me a fresh opportunity to embrace who I am and reclaim my power.

It flows over into your life if you chose and set the intention to embrace your full essence. A surrender to the process of death and rebirth and the infinite cycle of it.

I found a strength and peace within myself that belongs to me.

I wish that upon everyone ✨

For it is in the darkness that you shine your brightest light."

"My friend Marco introduced me to the Phoenix project in April. I read the info on the website and was very intrigued and wanted to know more. Brooke was very fast in getting back to us and always in contact with updates and working around our schedule. Suffering from left side paralysis due to a stroke I had in 2019 I depend on my wheelchair mostly and friends for transport. Brooke made sure that my disability did not get in the way of me experiencing the Phoenix project journey.

The coffee meet up was scheduled at a wonderful coffee shop in Mouille Point. I do not get out much and this was very special to me. I felt valid and very welcomed. It was a easy flowing conversation as we discussed about the why and what I want out of this whole process. I left with excitement for the beach morning and delving deeper into my own Phoenix Project Journey.

The beach morning starting off a bit difficult because of the stairs but Brooke assisted me to get down to the beach and was so patient.

The sky was so beautiful and was so worth it getting up early and start the new chapter. All the steps of the beach morning was very intense for me in a good way. I have never experienced so much care from someone I hardly know and how much effort he put in from all the steps. From burning to letting go of the ashes by getting into the water. Releasing many emotions letting go of things I have carried with me for a long time. It will be a day I will always remember and the technique a part of me which I can reflect on and carry it with me all my life. Thank you so much Brooke. Like a Phoenix I will rise!"

"The Beach Morning with the Phoenix Project was a real eye (and soul) opening experience and I can’t thank Brooke enough for the time he put into not only curating such an incredible series of therapeutic segments for the Beach Morning session but the time he physically puts in on the day, with such a level of patience and gentleness. It really helped push me out of my comfort zone, on the day and in daily life. Checking in with myself more, protecting my peace and considering whether something I want to do will contribute to my growth or hinder it before making rash decisions. I’m feeling profoundly positive about the future, and excited to continue on with my healing journey."

"My beach day was a really incredible experience 😁

Brooke is a very kind, personable, engaging, caring and supportive human.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve never met - he makes you feel so comfortable immediately.

He gives you the space to share your experiences, without judgement and not only that, but has great advice, quotes, and practices that help you heal & feel empowered.

No matter what you are going through - you can always benefit from some positive inspiration & letting go of things that are not good for you.

I have gone through a divorce & have struggled a bunch over the last year and a bit & the advice he gave & words he used, came out so sincere that it helped me to appreciate my worth and start re-believing in the amazing person I am & that I’m going to get through this and thrive.

Sometimes we just need someone to tell us what we need to hear and make us believe it.

I recommend this experience to absolutely everyone 🥳"

“How to put into words how one morning can be so transformational. My mind was absolutely blown away. It was honestly one of the most transformative processes I’ve ever encountered.

I won’t lie, I was as curious as I was nervous. What could Brooke’s superpower/genius evoke in me, what could be uncovered but how on earth was I going to drop into vulnerability around him on a beach screaming at the waves at 6am in the morning?

Well, well, well, Brooke went to the nth degree to make sure I was comfortable, feeling safe and went gently through the whole lead up.

By then, I felt safe and held. We did our session screaming at the waves and I felt so good. A huge release. A catharsis.

Ohhh, this was just the tip of the iceberg. We casually went to go get the promised coffee and croissants. Over some chit chat, the real process began.

Brooke effortlessly slowly isolated and followed all the breadcrumbs to uncover a situation I had been dealing with for years and finally started to help put words and the pieces of this puzzle together.

Brooke gently “doubled clicked” as he put it, on every interesting cue I inadvertently gave him, which got us deeper and deeper into unpacking this problem.

He lovingly guided me from identifying the problem, helping me reach resolution, to giving me a toolbox to use when I get triggered again.

It was really his dedication and how he linked everything so intelligently together that really finally helped me feel like I’ve truly addressed this problem, from cause to symptoms, and feel like I’ve got a way to move beyond it.

I don’t feel like this testimonial really even gives him the credit he deserves:

Brooke really shows up

Brooke really cares

I feel so proud to be a part of Brooke’s, I mean, the Phoenix Club!”

“My morning with Brooke at the beach was a deeply personal and intimate experience. I took this experience in and kept it contained while it converted itself gently into a beautiful tool which I now apply gracefully into my process of doing what I choose to do to stay present for myself and the things that matter to me.

What I took with me that morning was a reminder of my sovereign essence and that I am infinitely accountable towards myself in ways no other human ever will or shall be. Life remains present for me while I am living this rather complex relationship with myself his majesty the King as gracefully as possible amongst all these other Queens and Kings.

There where also things that morning I left behind me during a ritual we did together whilst standing in the water facing the rough sea. Days later I could still feel the release in my throat and hear it in my voice.

At the very end of our morning together I was given another tool to remind myself on keeping in touch with that point of stillness within which provides a sense of calm allowing everything else to solve itself naturally and without unnecessary efforts. No-one said its easy but it certainly helps to keep it simple.

Brooke is one of a kind...get up early and experience his gentle nature and intuitive wisdom for yourself if you get the possibility to do so. How wonderful to say 'Good morning' to a stranger and 'See you later' to a friend. Thank you my friend for an unforgettable experience and for allowing me to become one of the first Phoenix King members. May the ring of Phoenix keep on spinning in the ever-blissful presence of the moment!”

Life happens: We lose ourselves a bit at times & rush around doing what we think is expected & the right thing. Inevitably one ends up losing oneself a bit.. Enter Brooke

This human is so present & dedicated that I automatically felt myself stopping & zoning in to really listen. And breathe. Slowly, this time - allowing me to focus only on what really matters.

Brooke gets to the point. He presented the (his)story & gift of Phoenix so succinctly & magnificently amidst the beautiful setting that I literally had to pinch myself a few times. An experience to be remembered & appreciated to the max. After all, to be in a safe cocoon where someone significant really hears one is rare.

His gift of kindness, instruction & guiding equipped me with the right tools for right now & I found his wisdom & insight to be rather profound. This ain’t ordinary

“… allowing people to override our boundaries is not a trait of generosity it is actually a weakness..”

Armed with this insight I can change the outcome of many situations. After all, it’s not just about what serves us, but also about what makes us truly happy. We need to be reminded of this often. By the right people & situations.

Our Phoenix Master is sharp & funny at the same time. He has the ability to dissect, dispel, make light of & guide in a heartbeat. Definitely my idea of fast-tracking to fantastic. His years of training, studying, own life experience & his very unusual essence have culminated in this connect. He shares all of these graciously 🙏🏻

I remember having a little moment to savour how wonderful it was to have become a part of such a special circle of souls: He has our back. And so does Phoenix.

I took heed of Honey Child’s advice. After my beach morning I cleared the rest of my day & some & let all the information, gifts, kindness, guidance, solid advice & realisations sink in. #Time out for self.

One by one he is turning us into strong warrior girls. Thank you for choosing each one of us Mr Brooke. And for really caring.. ✨

The Journey was brought about through a friend of mine, who suggested I meet Brooke after I shared a traumatic experience I had in the beginning of the year. I almost lost the use of my hand and needed to reignite the fire inside my soul...and it did.

It was a full moon setting before the dawn of the day, we met on the beach in Cape Town where I did not know what was planned but felt the energies were high already. The intention was to release that which was not serving me anymore and write down on a piece of paper what I wanted to let go of. The space was set and we began the journey.

The burning of the letter was an offering that set into motion the release of emotions I had bottled up inside and then quenched by the waters as we merged with the crashing waves. One by one the ice cold waves hit me like the emotions troubling me and with each step, further into the ocean, I felt the strength to move further to feel deeper towards that which I feared. The cold seemed to disappear as the fear subsided and I became one with the flow of the ocean, gaining strength with each movement forward...again and again the crashing of the waves seemed to move me less as I became stronger in my determination to move past the pain and into my power. A roar of emotions transmuted the cold into warmth and i felt reborn, reborn from with in, able to withstand the waves of emotions which used to knock me down and not knowing which way to turn i turn towards the fear and it is no more, i was reignited from the burning of my old self into the new as i emerged from the waters which cleansed my pain and suffering i was born again as the phoenix rises from the flames

I now wear a symbol of this ever burning spirit which lays inside of me, allowing me to face whatever crashing waves life may face me with.

I am blessed to have been a part of this Journey and now live a life full of passion and power which I am truly grateful for!

Thank you Brooke you have lit my flame once again!

“Describing this experience is difficult to put in words. What seems like a really simple concept has changed the way I face myself and the world I live in every single way. 

I felt a lil uneasy the night before (more nerves) but little did I know what I was in for. 

This will only work and meet you as far as you’re willing to meet yourself and how raw you want to be.

The way Brooke walks you through it makes it easier from one emotion to the next. Brooke is the perfect example of a guide, there’s no pressure in anyway. I never felt uncomfortable. I felt unrushed and unjudged, and free to experience my raw emotions. In more ways, I felt like my emotions could finally be heard and expressed with someone who had nothing to gain from the experience. He allowed me to let my wall down and he held space for me to do so.



My suggestion to anyone wanting to do this is to take it seriously and you will get serious results.
 Results not just for that day or the following, but every time you face yourself or challenges that you have been struggling with. This isn’t a cure but it’s a beginning of realising how truly powerful you are and what you're actually capable of.



Don’t do it if you’re tired on the day or unprepared, also try and have the rest of the day off so you can sleep and love yourself afterwards. I suggest not seeing anyone afterwards either.






I feel truly blessed after having this experience with Brooke he taught me a lot about myself without even talking but instead giving me the tools. The power you have within and the power that’s yet to come starts with boundaries.”

“When my friend Louise told me I needed to join the Phoenix Project, it was a full body “yes”. Meeting Brooke confirmed it, with sparkle and joy we drove straight into the essence of life (energy and darkness epiphanies!) and somehow managed to make a practical arrangement for a cosmic dance at sunrise the following week.

Arriving at sunrise in the fog at the beach, there he was. Holding space so powerfully and tenderly as we meditated, stripping my limiting beliefs and gave them to the fire and brought my inner child back out to play. Screaming and screaming into the waves, then cleansing in the water, was honestly the most cathartic thing I have done in years and I felt I let go of so much old, stagnant energy – opening space for new. Being held in a white gown of safety is how it felt. We then grounded and integrated the experience over coffee.

Since then, I have felt a resurgence of my own personal power. I feel sovereign and ready to excel in the field of consciousness and ready for deep love.

This is one extraordinary experience and one extraordinary human. The presence and generosity of his nature is a priceless gift, and I feel deep deep gratitude. I’m so happy and thrilled to finally be a part of the amazing Phoenix community!”

“I met Brooke in Cape Town through mutual friends and he was kind enough to really have a real conversation with me in public, which was rare for me (I was mixed up in so many surface levelled environments). He shared his journey with me on how he had created the Phoenix Club to hold space for others and guide them back to their inner strength.

The Beach experience was honestly a turning point in my life, and I will forever be grateful to Brooke for it. Each of my walls and layers I had built up slowly came down and by the end of the experience I was literally IN the Atlantic Ocean, deeply emotional and excited to face life with more intention.

I now have a new perspective on my traumas. I now face my darkness and have deep empathy for myself and what I’ve been through, and proud of who I have become!

The Beach experience reminded me that there are good people that are ready to help you see your true power but you have to be willing to wake up early and go sit on the edge of the ocean with them, FOR YOU. 

Thanks again Brooke.”

“Where to begin…. I’ve known Brooke for over 2 years now.

Not only has he become one of my dearest and closest friends, but he has become a mentor in so many other respects. Enter the Phoenix Project, a passion project that has compelled Brooke to undertake one of the most honourable quests in his journey on this earth.

I have never truly felt liberation as I did during my beach morning. The freedom to express myself in my rawest and purest form is a freedom I had never felt before. Brooke gave me the safety to just be and welcomed with grace the person unleashed. Standing deeply in my own presence was one of the most profound catalysts to my healing and self-discovery journey. It set in motion a huge change and I am forever grateful for the experience. The tools shared during this retreat will stay with me forever, and to this day, I use them daily. There is immense power in this work and the healing is the reward.

The depth of understanding and warmth bestowed upon me by Brooke was unmatched, it really was a breath of fresh air to have such a protected space held for me, it allowed me to feel so safe, to feel sacred.

Brooke, thank you for your patience, your understanding, your guiding wisdom, and the honour with which you do this work. This is the healing work that the world needs.”

“I met Brooke by chance whilst in Cape Town. We began chatting and found out quickly that we had a lot of common ground. It was enlightening from the start to meet someone who had similar life experiences to me and was willing to listen to my thoughts and current feelings. More importantly he was able to pass on knowledge to me which made me look at things differently. Brooke invited me to a beach morning session.

Prior to this encounter I did not know a lot about this form of therapy and was albeit a little apprehensive. I cannot stress how patient, understanding and supportive Brooke was throughout the whole process. The session itself was structured, professional but also flexible to fit to my specific needs. Taking this step / opportunity helped me to release, realign and reevaluate a lot of my ideologies. Following the session I felt lighter. Never in my existence have I had the chance to release on a cellular level in such a way.

Brooke helped to open the gates to something I have gone on to (and still am) exploring further to this day. I am forever grateful for this experience and would like to think others would benefit too!”
