He was drawn to the healing arts after suffering a concussion while training to represent Costa Rica at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Slopestyle Skiing. After quitting competitive skiing, lingering concussive symptoms quickly spiraled into ever present anxiety, he became consumed by Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) for many years. With the help of a great therapist and introduction to the Wim Hof Method, he was able to re-engage with life and return to the mountains. Andre hopes to help others discover the fire within themselves and see new possibilities for their lives and the world.

He has worked with OCD charities to raise awareness and shatter archaic myths about OCD. His diagnosis has encouraged him to widen the conversation about mental health,   Shaun has curated and delivered two TEDx Talks,  TEDx 2022& TEDx 2018. In 2018 he gave a TEDx Talk about the education system and how we can do more to ensure no one is left behind.  His second TEDx talk was on “the straitjacket of masculinity and male mental health” in 2022.  A third TEDx Talk remains in his periphery to help raise awareness of OCD and raise funds for OCD research, which remains severely underfunded and under-researched.     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theshaunflores/  More links to Shaun’s work: https://linktr.ee/theshaunflores  TEDx Talks,  TEDx 2022 & TEDx 2018.  A third TEDx Talk remains in my periphery to help raise awareness of OCD and raise funds for a mental illness that remains severely underfunded and under-researched. https://linktr.ee/theshaunflores @theshaunflores/ Twitter @theshaunflores/Instagram Flores Shaun | Facebook "He who has a why can endure any suffering."   Disclaimer: Robert James Pizey (of Robert James Coaching) is not a medical professional and is also not providing therapy or medical treatment.
