In 2003 I gave up conventional medical practice to directly pursue an increasingly 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 followed shortly after, along with a distinct aversion to contemporary spiritual teachers and spiritual/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 (memory) and body.

Since being unexpectedly exposed to Qi as a teenager, I have always had a pressing 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. In 2005 I found significant inspiration in Michael Brown’s Presence Process, which exposed me to one of the most effective breath work techniques I have come across thus far 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 further deepened my understanding of embodied insight. Ultimately, it was through my clients that I made most of my discovery, seeing each as a living message from life to help unlock insight that I sensed already existed within myself and others.

I now see the the body-mind as a dynamic, sensory and vibrational phenomena with an innate inclination to thrive 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 insight, inspires my current work. The learning never stops and it seems any insight I cling to, rapidly becomes ephemeral.
