Explorer - Healer - Sage

From owning two businesses in Asia, hitchhiking across Morocco at 17, and motorbiking down the Rift Valley, I’ve always had a pioneering spirit, and a love for exploring the world.

But I am also a healer - artists and a student of the human condition. 

Asking Important Questions 

I grew up loving reading, I loved literature, art, philosophy and the questions around what makes us human. I was interested in the bigger questions; Who am I? What is the meaning of my life? How is meaning created? Why do things hurt and how can we heal? 

I pursued this interest through two MAs - one in contemporary and post-war art and one in critical theory (20th century philosophy)

I wrote one of my MA thesis's on the articulation of trauma in poetry and art. 

From Art to Life Coaching and EMDR Therapy

Two decades ago I sat on a bench in Hyde Park overlooking the water. 

I had considered turning towards psychotherapy or counselling for some time (I was 33 at the time) but something had held me back. 

But a week earlier I stumbled upon a simple ad in the Metro that read; Be Who You Want to Be. 

This ad had taken me to a small Life Coaching seminar at the back of Oxford Street.

That seminar had awakened something in me. A desire for something else. 

Inspired - in-spirrare (latin)

The act of breathing life, spirit, or soul into a person or an idea. 

As I sat looking out over the lake I knew I wanted to live an INSPIRED life.

But I didn't want a life inspired by someone else, like a role-model. I wanted to be an inspiration to myself.

In that moment things changed.

This wasn't just a fleeing thought. I had unknowingly tapped into the Heroes Journey. Where it no longer became about the destination only, but the quality of a person I would become if I faced my fears, rose to challenges and stepped out into a new world.

I left my career in the art world and trained as a Life Coach and then in NLP. 

This opened up incredible doors in my mind and my life. 

I create Life Changes - a space to shape the future and create a life that makes you proud. I studied healing, EFT, IFS, Reiki, worked in domestic violence, for charities, studies Havening, Ho'oponopono and every healing methodology you can find. 

I rode a motorcycle across Africa, slept under the stars in Rajasthan, and rode with wild horses in Kyrgyzstan.

I studied EMDR and my practice shifted to include facing the ghosts of the past - and healing the most important relationship you'll ever have  - the one with Self. 

My focus is now on Healing The Past. Composing The Future. Becoming The Person You Want to Be.
