My work is focused on helping people to access the energy of the heart so that they can use the wisdom that it holds to gain a real sense of themselves, their values and their purpose in life.
I began working with themes of change in the corporate and entrepreneurial sectors before spending five years coaching people who had encountered mental health difficulties and, later on, a type 2 diabetes programme to support participants in making lifestyle changes and health improvements.
Along the way, I learnt that challenges of the human experience can be supported by incorporating the body and the breath. Having already trained in anatomy, physiology and massage in 2002, I spent three years training in a body and breathwork technique known as Amanae.
This training, alongside a long-term psychotherapeutic process, helped me with my healing, as well as learning to facilitate others. This has given me a valuable reference point for some of the issues that my clients encounter.
As of 2025 I have accumulated over 2500 hours of Somatic Breathwork and Coaching practice.
I am committed to regular training courses to continue developing and expanding my understanding of work. I believe that an approach of humility is valuable when it comes to this work, and that there are always new layers of experience and understanding to discover. I enjoy working with and learning from people who have reached higher levels of mastery of their profession. I also receive regular supervision.
