Meet Joe Mugan (IPHM, Student mANP)

Welcome to Wild Soul Grove—I’m truly grateful you’ve found your way here. Take a moment to honour this step you’ve taken; the choice to explore your deeper self, to reconnect with your essence, and to seek alignment with the rhythms of the earth and your soul’s calling.

My journey to this work began with healing myself. I believe true guides walk the path themselves first; they know the terrain intimately because they’ve navigated it with their own two feet. My transformation began when I reached a point of deep struggle—overwhelmed by stress, unhealthy habits, and a sense of being unmoored from purpose. I was overweight, dependent on medication, and disconnected from the deeper calling of my spirit.

In 2020, everything began to shift. I embraced a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle, understanding that what I nourished my body with directly impacted my spirit and my ability to heal. That year, I also became a father, which sparked a profound change in my outlook on life. I committed to daily meditation, mindful eating, and movement in nature—not just as habits, but as sacred practices that reconnected me with my body, mind, and spirit.

As I continued to walk this path, my journey deepened. I embraced shamanic healing, breathwork, and energy work, reconnecting with ancient wisdom that speaks to the wild soul in all of us. I trained as an immersive coach and meditation facilitator, understanding that true transformation goes beyond the surface. It’s about soul work—peeling back the layers of conditioning and returning to who you truly are beneath it all.

The path also brought its challenges. I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. This condition became a teacher—reminding me of the importance of alignment, resilience, and deep nourishment. My lifestyle, grounded in mindful nutrition (which has since come away from being solely whole-food, plant-based) and spiritual practice, has allowed me to thrive despite these diagnoses. I see them not as limitations, but as opportunities to deepen my understanding of healing and balance.

Today, I am the founder and lead practitioner of Wild Soul Grove, where I guide others on their own journeys of rediscovery and healing. I am a certified immersive coach, meditation facilitator, breathwork teacher, plant-based nutrition coach, cacao facilitator, and shamanic practitioner & energy healer. I am accredited with the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM) and continue my studies with the College of Naturopathic Medicine.

I invite you to explore Wild Soul Grove and discover the offerings that resonate with you—whether it’s Identity Coaching, Shamanic Healing, Cacao Ceremonies, or Spiritual Journeys. If you feel called, book a free consultation, and let’s see how I can support you in reconnecting with your wild, authentic soul.

Welcome to the Grove—where your soul remembers its truth.
