In 2003 I gave up conventional medical practice to directly pursue a pressing interest in the primary origin of disease and discomfort and identifying what exactly liberates the expression of overall health and well being within an individual. A deep internal crisis and awakening followed shortly after, along with a distinct aversion to contemporary spiritual teachers and self-help books so I threw them all away and decided to actually “look within”. The ensuing and sometimes gruelling inner journey that followed led to an intimate exploration of breath work, movement, subtle energy therapy, meditation and the critical role of relationship as a catalyst in facilitating freedom within mind and body.

Since being unexpectedly exposed to Qi as a teenager, I have always had a compelling interest in subtle internal energy and movement and its relationship to health. 35 Years of martial arts training led to further exploration of the mind and ‘heart’ in movement and the impact of trauma and psychological conditioning on the physiology. It also changed my body internally significantly.

In 2005 I found inspiration in Michael Brown’s Presence Process, which exposed me to one of the most effective breath work techniques I have come across and currently still use in the InnerSense Program. A post-graduate study of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture followed, which provided a beautiful template for overall health assessment in an individual.

In 2010 I started regular practice of Vipassana Meditation in the tradition of SN Goenka, which deepened my understanding of embodied insight. Ultimately though, it was through my clients that I made most of my discovery, seeing each as a living message from life to reveal the state of my own mind to me and to help unlock the wisdom that I sensed already existed within myself and others. I then gradually turned my attention further to relational awareness.

My deep love of Tai Chi eventually led me to Adam Mizner, an experience I am very grateful for and one that continues to revolutionise my understanding and appreciation of this beautiful art.

I now see the the body-mind as a dynamic, sensory and vibrational phenomenon with an innate inclination to thrive (harmonise) and an infinite capacity to do so. A sincere pursuit of truth and embodied self-awareness through cultivation of practical methods leading to measurable experiential change, inspires my current work. I love what I do.
