Johnny Betts

Johnny is from Northern Ireland but spent a large chunk of his childhood living in Peru, South America. He is a testimony of resilience and hope as his life has been marked by profound challenges but this has shaped him into a beacon of strength and support for others.

Tragedy struck with the heartbreaking loss of his 18-month-old daughter, Harriet, a wound that forever altered his perspective. This personal devastation was compounded by the closure of his chain of his 2 gym businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, a venture that had been his passion and livelihood. As if these trials weren't enough, Johnny faced significant health challenges within the same two-year span.

Amidst these overwhelming adversities, Johnny found solace and healing in the outdoors. His love for adventure and nature became his refuge, offering peace and clarity. Embracing the therapeutic power of conversation, Johnny learned to express his struggles, discovering the importance of vulnerability and connection.

Today Johnny is a qualified integrative counsellor, business mentor, and fitness coach. He channels his diverse skills and personal experiences into Men, Mind & Mountains. Johnny's unique approach combines the transformative power of nature, the strength of community, and the healing potential of open dialogue. His journey from hardship to healing inspires countless others to seek growth and resilience amidst life's challenges.
