Reuben DARLING KHAN

Some of his first memories are of sleeping underneath the Dj booth as his parents lead dancers through the rhythms and rollercoasters of the work.

He trained as a chef from an early age and more recently as a Functional medicine health coach as well as a Movement Medicine teacher and has studied the ancient wisdom of different indigenous cultures mainly of the americas.
