About Me
When Healing Became My Mission: The Story Behind My Coaching Path
Hi, I’m Roland Bup, and I’m here to walk beside you on your healing journey – not just as a coach, but as someone who has lived the struggle and found the way through.
My path to becoming a Holistic Life Coach began with my own struggle to heal. For several years, I silently battled a range of physical and emotional challenges: long-term chronic depression and seasonal affective disorder (SAD), recurring acid reflux, and an episode of painful plantar fasciitis that made walking a daily struggle.
In addition to this, I kept finding myself in difficult relationships in my personal and professional life, where I often acted from fear instead of being my True Self. For example, I would: Try to please others at the expense of myself; Stay silent out of fear of being judged; Put up with unfair treatment just to avoid conflict
Deep down, I kept wondering: Why do these things keep happening to me? Why do I attract the same struggles over and over again?
Discovering the Hidden Messages Behind My Symptoms
Everything began to shift when I came across a book called Your Body Is Talking – Are You Listening? by Art Martin. That book opened my eyes to a powerful truth: our physical symptoms often reflect deeper emotional wounds, limiting beliefs, and unresolved pain from the past.
This realisation marked a turning point in my life. I began to see my body not as something broken, but as a messenger. Every symptom was a signal – an opportunity to listen, reflect, and heal on a deeper level.
As I worked through all the emotional and spiritual root causes of each of my health challenges, something incredible happened: I started to truly heal. I experienced full recovery from long-term depression, SAD, acid reflux, and the plantar fasciitis that once made walking painful.
A Spiritual Awakening
As I healed, I began to understand that every person and experience in my life had something to teach me, even the painful ones. This shift in mindset – from being a victim to feeling empowered – was life-changing.
That initial healing experience sparked a powerful curiosity in me: What if all of life’s challenges have a deeper purpose?
I began exploring the idea that we are more than our physical selves – that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. I immersed myself in teachings that helped me understand the spiritual purpose of life and the reasons why we have challenges in life. Here are some key truths I discovered:
- Our souls choose life experiences – including illness and hardship – to help us grow and awaken.
- Life is not punishment; it’s a journey of remembering and experiencing our divine nature.
- Every person, situation, and experience is here to bless us or teach us something valuable about ourselves.
These truths changed the way I saw everything. I stopped seeing life as something happening to me and began to see it as something unfolding for me – designed perfectly to support my growth, healing, and evolution.
From Healing to Helping Others
As I healed, I felt a strong desire within me: I wanted to help others find the kind of transformation I had experienced.
While my background as a social worker gave me a strong foundation, this was not enough. I knew I needed tools that aligned with this deeper understanding of healing. So, I followed my passion and trained as a Holistic Life Coach, earning Diploma certifications in:
- Spiritual Life Coaching
- EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) – also known as tapping
- Self-Love Healing
- Ho’oponopono – a Hawaiian healing practice
I also acquired a series of powerful reference resources to help people uncover the root causes of their challenges.
All of this led me to create my own Mind-Body-Spirit Healing Modality, a holistic approach designed to help you uncover and heal the root causes of your challenges – so you can reconnect with your True Self and create real, lasting change.
