Career Features
The Story
For award winning transformational life coach Om Boogie, helping others to heal is not just a way of life. It is his life.
As a survivor of childhood trauma rooted in emotional, sexual, physical, and mental abuse, and growing up in a single parent home with a father in jail, Om’s childhood experience was through the lens of a surrogate spouse to his mother. This meant she relied on him emotionally as her husband from a very young age. His only form of therapy came from the creative and performing arts where he went on to channel his gifts to incredible success.
As he garnered world experience and media attention, his dream of stardom came crashing down when he suddenly was hit by a truck. Using all his funds to recover from this major - and almost fatal - accident left him no choice but to go back home, to the place of his childhood trauma.
This turned out to be a gift in disguise as these two experiences illuminated him to heal the wounds caused by his childhood trauma.
The Transformation
At 21 years old Om lost 200 pounds going from a size 56 to 36. He knew when change was necessary and according to his doctor obesity would cost him his life. He felt that same urgent energy moving him into the transformation that would take him from the performing arts to the healing arts as he began to heal the wounds of his child hood traumas at 31 years old when he was hit by a truck.
Getting back on his feet wasn’t easy but with the help of his ancestors and angels they guided him to tap into his psychic gifts and powerful intuition. It led Om to being highly sought within his circle for his intuitive energy readings. But the true calling was fusing his intuitive gifts with coaching. Guiding people to create life and stop giving others the authority to predict and create life for them; because it leaves people at the mercy of thinking that their fate is already laid out for them, and or in someone else’s hands.
This led him to develop radical and unique transformational coaching techniques where he helps others access their true vision for their lives and heal the wounds of their trauma. A process he has coined as turning trauma into triumph. His training helms from transformational and spiritual coaches and psychics including Lisa Nichols, Iyanla Vanzant, and James Van Praagh.
Within one month of surrendering to his calling, he made three times the amount he had made collecting both welfare and unemployment
Within three years of his entrepreneurship, he became the youngest and first LGBTQ African American Life Coach to have an Emmy award winner and a millionaire as clients.
His work in helping to end varying social injustices and issues faced by those oppressed and marginalized has led Om to become part of the advisory board for The Alliance for Media Art and Culture. He’s also solidified 5 figures in grants from sponsors like Kenneth Cole, ENYCE, ECKO, Def Jam, B.A.R. Entertainment Management INC, Atlantic Records, and Trader Joe's, to help spearhead projects Om developed and produced.
Om Has appeared in major media outlets like ABC, FOX, Revolt TV, Pix11 and the Source Magazine over the course of his career, reaching thousands across the world, On one blog radio show he booked 100% of guest participants as clients.
Om graduated Summa cum laude from the Fashion Institute of Technology, with an advertising and marketing degree and is a Trickle Up Foundation awardee.
He was requested to speak at The New School, Gay Mens Health Crisis and the Borough of Manhattan Community College and became a frequent Guest speaker and workshop facilitator with the Fashion Institute of Technology. He also produced entertainment industry panel events with Long Island University and Gay Men of African Descent.
The Vision
Yup thats little Om Boogie. Little Om is the WHY the reason that Om is doing being living and creating a trauma free way for creatives to live and discover their purpose through these offerings. If it wasn’t for that little boy, who is Om’s Hero and who endured the injustices of trauma Om wouldn’t be here today. So little Om is the strength that fuels a vision to help heal the inner child in all of us who has endured trauma and the reason why its vital to teach the world how truly powerful life can be when we choose to end generational curses and ancestral traumas by building a legacy that honors our ancestors and heal their wounds with our purpose.
Om’s vision is to make healing go viral. Helping Creatives to learn about the hidden wounds of unchecked and undetected PTSD and how it keeps them playing small, so that they gain the courage to speak up and stop suffering in silence. When we change, the future changes, and little beautiful innocent kids never have to suffer the way we did.
Om is returning to public speaking taking on the biggest stages in the world on and offline and creating a global community of creatives and visionaries who desire to use their gifts to impact the world positively and who want to take Om’s teachings into the lives of others to empower creatives to turn their trauma into trauma. Its time!
“I am honoring our ancestors by making these teachings globally available and getting it to everyone so self-healing is accessible to all.”
