Your Teachers

I’m Michael,

and this MTT is, for me, the most enjoyable and rewarding thing I have ever done (outside of marrying my wife and having a baby). You know when things just click into place, and even great action becomes somewhat effortless and simple, as if you’re riding a current that has been generated from years of practice and learning? That’s what this MTT feels like. 

It is an incredible honour to teach these trainings and although I feel super playful about them and I am innately a larrikin, I don’t take this work lightly. I feel really proud to create extraordinary teachers that continue this great tradition in an integral and authentic way. 

That doesn’t mean you will be perfect straight away, no way! I can still vividly remember the first meditation circle I ever ran. I was filled with nerves, my voice was shaky, and really I didn’t know what I was doing - other than following an impulse to serve. Even though I suffered through my first attempts to teach, being eaten up by self-doubt and uncertainty, I still knew that this was what I was born to do. I just love it. So even though you won’t be perfect I can promise you that you will be much MUCH better than I was when I first attempted to teach. Seeing you teach with confidence, skill and authenticity is my mission and I won't rest until you are there, doing that. 

I have been teaching meditation for close to 10 years now and have been working as a life coach and mentor for about 7 years. I love the way that these 2 things go together. Coaching has given me tremendous insight into the nature and workings of the mind, which supports the practice of meditation. And likewise, a consistent practice of meditation offers such great self-knowledge and understanding which massively supports the practice of coaching. This is why with this training I am so passionate about not only teaching you to teach groups, but also offer your services one on one, as that is where I have seen the greatest and deepest transformations in my clients. 

Hannah and myself wanted to make this training better than it has ever been for 2023 so we are really excited to announce that we are continuing to run this training with Chrissie Chung as mentor and co-facilitator.  

Hey, I’m Hannah

Mother, Wife and Co-Owner of Kings Meditation and Mentoring.

I’ve been coaching and working in the industry for around 8 years, in which time I’ve honed in on different things at different times. I started teaching journaling, and have since worked teaching Ayurveda, life by design, manifestation, emotional coaching, meditation and supporting people in the beginning stages of their businesses.

I’ve had incredible successes with past clients on such a huge range of things. My favourite thing about meditation and coaching is just seeing more JOY injected into my clients and students lives. I live to see people consciously create their life, just the way they like it. All of this work is held so dearly to my heart because when I started this journey, I was scrubbing toilets for a living. I was working as a cleaner and doing the occasional shift making coffee when I realised I could transform myself and therefore my life. These days, I never take having a beautiful cup of coffee made for me for granted, because I know what it’s like to sweat your ass off behind a coffee machine, or clean peoples houses for a living. Because of that, I know the deliciousness of consciously creating a life you are truly in love with.

The last couple of years I have taught the business modules on our Level 2 trainings, so I’m really excited to bring those concepts to this teacher training and work with a tight knit group of humans who are ready to create or grow epic, profitable, spacious businesses and run them their own way.

Here are a couple of testimonials from people I’ve worked with over the last couple of years

“Hannah approaches her coaching with penetrating sight, groundedness, empathy, compassion, humour and wisdom much beyond her years. She has been able to touch on and help clear emotions I didn’t even know I was storing. My partner can’t believe the difference in my behaviour and sometimes, neither can I!” Mikki Lipson, The Pointe, VIC

“Coaching with Hannah has completely shifted my mindset and the way I live in the world. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to live a more aligned, congruent and effortless life.” Catherine Barclay, VIC

“Hey Hannah, I want to say again how impactful your coaching has been for me, I am becoming way more robust! To be able to see this result and appreciate my growth and the work I have put in consistently is worth everything when it comes to investing in your program.. thank you for your amazing work and being!” Tahleah, Tahleah Rose Coaching, Gold Coast

“It is CRAZY amazing how far I have come, today I just reflected about my attitude / how I felt 6 months ago and it was SO different. THANK YOU HANNAH!” Kate Stein, NYC

“Hi Hannah, I wanted to say a big THANK YOU!! I honestly feel so much more grounded, trusting and self secure than I would have thought I can, especially considering I am not somewhere on bali but in materialistic, work-addicted Europe! Your processes really work, I can see their magic unfolding over the days and I just love it!” Maria, Italy

The Incredible Christina Chung

Chrissie is one of those humans that just absolutely loves the craft, she lives and breathes meditation, mindfulness, heartfulness and it's so obvious she practices everything she preaches. For her, teaching meditation is a constant reminder of how much she loves this practice and she describes being able to teach as an honour and a privilege. We love that Chrissie sees meditation as something that keeps her playful, loving, patient, and in awe of life, and we can testify to the fact that she is absolutely all of those things. Our favourite thing Chrissie told us is that meditation has taught her that she needn’t look outside of herself, it pulls forth such a deep feeling of ok-ness that life opens and you start to see and feel all the magic. We love this, as this is what the foundation of our business is built on and the philosophy that we build our training around, so it is what makes Chrissie such a perfect fit for us, and for YOU. 

Chrissie is inspired by and her teachings are infused with Tantric, Vedic and Buddhist wisdom. She is also constantly learning from experts in the field of neuroscience such as Joe Dispenza and Rick Hanson which brings all that ancient knowledge and wisdom to life through the language of science.

In terms of experience and official training Chrissie is a total junkie and absolute firehouse. She has studied her absolute brains out over the past 6+ years improving her understanding and embodiment of yoga and meditation as well as her own life. She first came to yoga in India, completing her first 200hr training - Ashtanaga Vinyasa, where she eventually went on to be offered a karma yogi position, which swiftly turned into a teaching role on the training (and we can see why, Chrissie is one of the most incredible teachers we’ve seen), Chrissie says at this point she knew she’d stepped into something deeply aligned as she just felt carried by life.

After that first training Chrissie completed a Yin training, a 200hr Hatha Training at The Practice Bali, a 200hr with Simon Borg-Olivier. She continues to study tantric philosophy and practice, and through ParaYoga has completed her Nidra training, kundalini and marma.

And of course, she has also completed her Fire and Water training with us, which is where she says her love for meditation truly began. Prior to this training she showed up to meditate because, intellectually, she knew it was a necessary piece to the puzzle but something just hadn’t quite clicked.

What Chrissie loves about the Fire and Water Meditation Teacher Training is that you do it alongside LIFE. You are constantly practicing and integrating, so that the techniques and tools are put to use, to support you in the way you meet life. She sees in herself and in other students that throughout the training you get to experience firsthand how much meditation can enrich your life, and what a better way to make you want to truly show up for it?!

From her perspective, you sign up to learn more about meditation / teaching meditation and come away with so much more, she reckons it’s like a life training and such a joyful one at that. THIS is why we handpicked Chrissie to support the next pack of legends through their training, she GETS our mission, she’s experienced the benefits first hand and she is a genuinely beautiful human with a deep passion for sharing her wisdom, balanced with pure playfulness and the kindest, most loving heart.
