Why BrokenSamurai?

I know what it's like to hit the wall. Not just feel tired — but truly break. Burnout, depression, hospitalisation. The kind of crash that forces you to rebuild everything from the ground up.

The path back was ayurveda, mindfulness, martial arts, and sobriety. Piece by piece, I found my footing again.

In Japanese culture, kintsugi is the art of repairing broken things with gold. The cracks become the most beautiful part.

That's the philosophy here. You are not broken beyond repair. You are being repaired.

About me

I know what it costs to run on empty — I've been there. Burnout, depression, the whole crash. The path back was martial arts, archery, mindfulness, and sobriety. Piece by piece, I found my footing again.

Now I help others do the same. With strategy, structure, and honest care for people under pressure.
