In this powerful episode of the Enlighten DXB Podcast, Erika Masako Welch sits down with Phil Quirk, world-renowned human performance coach, NLP practitioner, and hypnosis expert, to explore the mindset behind elite performance, resilience, and personal transformation.

Phil has worked with Olympic champions, special forces operators, corporate leaders, and high-performing individuals across the world. Drawing from his experience in the Royal Marines, as well as decades studying psychology, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), breathwork, hypnosis, and ancient philosophy, Phil shares the mental frameworks that help people unlock their highest potential.

Together we explore a profound question:
Does trauma break us… or can it become the catalyst for extraordinary growth?

From the wisdom of Stoic philosophy to the science of breathwork and hypnosis, Phil explains why the path to mastery always runs through struggle — and why discipline, not motivation, is the true foundation of success.

If you’re interested in human performance, resilience, post-traumatic growth, mental toughness, or mastering your mind, this conversation will challenge the way you think about adversity and success.

Topics we explore include:
• How elite athletes and special forces train their minds
• Stoicism and ancient Western traditions of discipline
• Why mastering the basics is the key to extraordinary performance
• The role of breathwork and hypnosis in rewiring the mind
• The difference between PTSD and Post-Traumatic Growth
• How failure can become the foundation for resilience and gratitude
• Phil’s philosophy on discipline, struggle, and living with purpose

Phil also shares insights from his new book and the lessons he's learned coaching some of the world’s most driven performers.

If you've ever wondered how to transform adversity into strength — this episode is for you.

In this episode, we’re joined by Alice Hong, Embodied Feminine Leadership Coach and Tantra teacher, for a deep and grounded conversation about pleasure, feminine energy, leadership, and authentic living.

Alice shares why pleasure isn’t a luxury, but a vital compass for a fully alive life — and how reconnecting with the wisdom of the body can transform the way we love, lead, and create. Together, we explore what it truly means to support the feminine to flourish, the role of healthy masculine energy in creating safety and structure, and how many of us unknowingly wear masks that suppress our natural expression.

This conversation also dives into practical tools: creating your own pleasure practice, learning the art of receiving, and navigating feminine initiation as a path toward becoming more untamed, embodied, and authentic. Alice weaves together spirituality, somatics, leadership, and lived experience to offer insights that are both profound and deeply applicable to everyday life and business.

Whether you’re curious about feminine leadership, seeking more aliveness and intimacy, or wanting to align your actions with your soul’s purpose, this episode offers reflections and practices to help you move forward with more clarity, pleasure, and power.

Topics covered include:

• Why pleasure matters in daily life
• Feminine & masculine dynamics and leadership
• Embodiment, intimacy, and authentic self-expression
• Receiving, boundaries, and living in alignment

Guests Bio: 

Alice Hong is an Embodied Feminine Leadership Coach and Tantra teacher. She helps passionate women create lives that turn them ON - in love, life, and business, so that they can have more aliveness, pleasure and financial wealth. She’s supported thousands of women and hundreds of men create greater intimacy, passion and purpose in their lives by connecting to the wild wisdom of their bodies, increasing access to pleasure, and equipping people with tangible tools that align actions with soul purpose, so people can move forward with their lives in a powerful way.

In this episode, we explore what happens when we begin truly listening to the body and stop accepting pain, fatigue, and disconnection as “normal.” Together with Anita and Peyman from Wellnest, we unpack how modern life pulls us out of body awareness, how emotions can become stored within the body, and why physical symptoms are often meaningful signals rather than problems to suppress.

The conversation dives into the role of fascia, body-based communication tools like the BEST machine, and why experiences such as loneliness, stress, and generational conditioning can show up physically. We also explore the approaches people turn to when seeking healing, and the different ways stored experiences and trauma can be addressed through movement, awareness, and integrative care.

This episode offers a grounded, holistic perspective on healing beyond symptoms—inviting a deeper understanding of the body as an intelligent system designed to restore balance, resilience, and vitality when given the right support

Guests Bio: 

Wellnest is Dubai’s active recovery club, bringing together pain management, sports recovery, biohacking, and movement-based therapies to support whole-body wellbeing. Built on the belief that pain is not normal, Wellnest challenges the idea that fatigue, poor sleep, and daily aches should be accepted as part of life, treating them instead as signals from the body. By combining expert-led care with science-backed practices, including the exclusive Spiral Stabilization method, Wellnest focuses on restoring balance, mobility, and long-term vitality. Its holistic approach targets key longevity pathways—strength, cellular health, lifestyle, and prevention—helping individuals heal from within and perform at their best.

In this episode, we explore cleansing as more than just a physical practice — it’s a conversation about how we care for our bodies, relate to our emotions, and reconnect with ourselves.

Daniel shares his personal journey into fasting, fermentation, and enzyme-based cleansing, explaining how working with the body — rather than against it — can support physical health, emotional balance, and self-awareness. We explore the connection between organs and emotions, common misconceptions about aging, and how modern society shapes the way we think about health and vitality.

This conversation goes beyond detox trends. It’s about listening to the body, understanding nature’s intelligence, and having the courage to slow down, surrender, and reconnect with ourselves.

If you’re curious about enzyme cleansing, holistic wellness, Traditional Chinese Medicine, fasting, or mind–body health, this episode offers practical insights and thoughtful perspectives to reflect on.

Daniel's Bio:
Daniel Li Ox is a Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor, Medical Qi Gong Teacher, and an ordained Zen Buddhist Monk. He is also the Founder of ZenCleanz, a revolutionary detox and cellular nutrition product that helps us cleanse with the power that comes from the enzymes of fruits and plants that have been fermented for three years.

In this illuminating episode of Enlighten DXB, Erika sits down with May-Britt Searty—a naturopath, somatic therapist, and Author of “9 Letters to my Mother”, a book about conscious pregnancy and conscious motherhood. Drawing from 30 years of experience guiding women through emotional, physical, and spiritual transformation, May-Britt unpacks how our lives unfold in seven-year developmental stages that mirror the rise of energy through the chakra system, from root to crown.

Together, they explore how pivotal a role our own mothers play in the development of ourselves, and how each stage of our development shapes our sense of safety, creativity, identity, relationships, intuition, and purpose—and how these developmental layers resurface in adulthood, especially during major transitions like pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause. This conversation offers a grounded, compassionate roadmap for understanding your own evolution, healing unresolved patterns, and stepping into motherhood and midlife with clarity, reverence, and conscious awareness.

A powerful guide for women at any stage of their journey who are ready to reconnect with themselves at the deepest level.

MayBritt Bio:
MayBritt Searty is a Family and Systemic Constellations Therapist, a Doctor of Natural Medicine, and a psychosomatic body worker in Dubai. She describes herself as a passionate life-long explorer of alternative ways to doing things, which has led her to becoming a long-time practitioner of cranial sacral therapy, osho therapy, homeopathy, and various other modalities that helped her explore the psychosomatic aspects of illnesses.

In this episode of The Enlighten DXB Podcast, host Erika Welch sits down with relationship coach Riké John to explore how we can move from tension and misunderstandings into deeper intimacy, trust, and connection in our relationships.

We dive into the loneliness epidemic and why, in a world that feels more polarized and disconnected than ever, so many of us are craving deeper bonds, richer memories, and a stronger social fabric. Are we stuck in the “catching up trap,” meeting just to update each other — or are we truly making memories together?

Riké shares practical tools to:

• Communicate effectively in relationships
• Repair conflict with empathy and understanding
• Recognize and manage emotional triggers
• Identify ways in which we are creating disconnection
• Overcome barriers to connection like busyness, exhaustion, and lack of time
• Intentionally create moments for bonding and joy
• Understand the difference between “side-by-side” and “nose-to-nose” energy
• Navigate the paradox of intimacy in romantic relationships vs friendships

This conversation is a guide for anyone ready to break patterns of disconnection, build stronger relationships, and live with more presence and connection. Whether you’re looking to repair a relationship, deepen emotional bonds, or create a stronger foundation for love, Riké shares practical tools and transformative insights you can start using today.

Guest Bio:
Rike is a VITA certified love and relationship coach working with the modalities of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and Authentic Relating, infused by her background in Tantra and modern mystery schools. She works with clients from around the world using various methods such as shadow work, embodiment and somatic practices, as well as inner parts work and practical communication tools and processes for couples and individuals. When you meet her, you realize she’s built for this; she provides a safe space for deep healing – as if it’s in her blood. But she’s lived a few lives already, from working in the corporate world, to the startup world, and then spending several years in tantric and sex positive spaces. She is now based in Dubai, working with clients in-person and online, to help them feel the love, connection and joy that they desire.

In this powerful episode of The Enlighten DXB Podcast, Erika Masako Welch sits down with Janelle Houston—a Craniosacral Therapist and Energy Healer based in Dubai—to unpack the often-invisible layers of energetic health, nervous system regulation, and trauma healing.

Together, they explore the science and soul of energy work, how craniosacral therapy supports emotional release, and why we carry energetic clutter in our fields—often without realizing it. Janelle shares how energy healing affects children differently from adults, the spiritual dimensions of ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and how life’s big chapters—like the teen years and midlife crisis—can be portals for reconnection or disconnection from Source.

If you’ve ever wondered how energy medicine works, how trauma lives in the body, or how to reclaim your nervous system’s balance—this conversation is for you.

Guest Bio:
Janelle's journey to healing began with a childhood dream of helping others. From studying psychology to becoming a Pilates teacher and delving into practices like Reiki, Theta healing, and Cranial Sacral Therapy, she found her calling in assisting individuals of all ages in releasing trauma and finding peace in their bodies, minds and spirits.

Janelle's passion for helping children shines through, as she believes in nurturing them today to create a brighter tomorrow. With love and passion, Janelle invites you to join her in nurturing the roots of hope and creating a ripple effect of transformation across the globe.

Topics Covered:

• What is energy healing and craniosacral therapy?
• How unprocessed trauma causes nervous system dysregulation
• ADHD, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm through the lens of energy work
• Energy fields in children vs. adults
• Why midlife crisis is really a call back to self

Laura shares her courageous personal story: from facing cancer and working in the criminal justice system, to her formative experiences within the sex industry.

Together, they unpack the role of shadow work, archetypal embodiment, and mystery schools in spiritual and psychological transformation. This conversation is a guidepost for anyone seeking to integrate their light and dark, reclaim suppressed parts of self, and walk the mystical path with grounded presence.

Get comfy, for this extra special (meaning: extra long and extra deep) episode with Rita Hraiz (recorded at the end of 2024). We dive into the question: How do we deepen into our spiritual practice and connection, and come into alignment with our solar plexus and heart, based on ageless esoteric wisdom? When tragedy and atrocities strike, such as the wars scarring humanity in our present day, how do we strike the balance between being a vessel of love and spiritual enlightenment, and an actor on this material plane trying to do what is “right”?  

We dive into everything from ageless wisdom, esoteric psychology, kundalini awakenings and its various stages, and the various traditional spiritual texts that hold some sacred keys to sacred portals. Rita also speaks about a coming Golden Age on the precipice - a great awakening to realize Shambala - a collective shift of all of humanity into a more enlightened state that we are all walking towards. Don’t miss the beautiful meditation at the end, where Rita invokes Vajra Heruka (also often referred to as Vajrahrīḥa), a powerful deity in Vajrayana Buddhism that works to remove obstacles, destroy ignorance and ego and cut through delusion.
