At heart I am a student and a teacher. Beneath that I am a human; a mistake maker and lesson learner. Since my earliest year I have been captivated by truth, equality and potential. What is it that makes us all the same what is required for each human to express their greatest self.

My life has been driven by a desire to feel purposeful in the world and at peace within myself. I have come to gauge my accuracy through the level of inspiration I feel towards my own life, along with the amount of joy that permeates my days. When both are in abundance, I know that I am aligned.

Striking this balance is the fruit of an ongoing and beautiful exploration. My earlier years were dominated by sporting pursuits and a fixation on excellence. I learnt the capacity of will, the limits of mind, energy and body. I learnt the freedom in discipline and the power of having purpose. Yet the lack of balance led me down the uncomfortable, yet seemingly necessary, road of mental abnormalities such depression, anxiety and OCD. The pendulum swing came not long after a total collapse and I spent many years in Eastern esoteric studies, counter culture communities, with nature based medicines and living alternate lifestyles. I leant what being is, I learnt the life also has a plan wanting to live through me, that true love isn’t circumstantial or conditional, and that who I am is not impacted by what I do. Walking only this windy road I dwelled in existential questioning, studied the workings of ego deaths and mapped the true and false of spirituality.

Both worlds, as well as all the worlds in between, continue to be deep pools of learning and teaching for me. I feel most of my life work is to bridge the opposites in a way where they make sense. I often find myself as a bridge for those at each end of the spectrum wishing to find a sense of centre. I adore finding the thread that connects seeming opposites so that the halves become whole. Walking both worlds, old and new, east and west, at the one time is where I continue to find my greatest growth, deepest peace and wildest joy.

A belief in wholeness sits at the centre of my work as a therapist, teacher, mentor and author. I am not approaching life through a problem based point of view, and I am forever curious to find where and what hides the perfection. More than that, I trust that right now is whole and if I/we open to this moment fully, our sense of self returns, our nervous system relaxes, our fears abide into an ocean of love, our heart opens, our mind becomes quiet, our capacity to connect expands and safety is all that we see. When we can’t evolve the challenges that arise on the journey to meeting the moment, we are left feeling unsafe, in dis-ease and lacking joy. I help humans remedy this riddle and reclaim their centre.
