Professional Overview

I am a seasoned professional with a diverse background spanning the realms of IT, nuclear physics, marine seismic data acquisition, medical physics, and software engineering. Originally from the north of England, I migrated to Australia in 1990 and have since made Sydney my home base. Throughout my career, I have navigated through various industries.

While my professional journey has been multifaceted, a significant turning point occurred when I encountered lumbar spine issues. Facing multiple spinal surgeries, I discovered the transformative power of yoga and meditation in managing pain and fostering holistic well-being.
 

Motivated by personal experiences, I delved into the world of yoga and meditation, earning a 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Certificate from Body Mind Life Yoga Studio in Surry Hills, Sydney. Despite facing additional spinal challenges, I continued my exploration of meditation practices, completing multiple teacher training modules in Sydney and Goa, India for a total of 350 hours.
 

Incorporating both Western and Eastern meditation styles, I have developed a unique teaching approach. My meditation classes range from applying mindfulness techniques to corporate environments, aiding in concentration and stress management, to traditional practices such as chanting, pranayama, and yoga nidra on the path to spiritual enlightenment.
 

As an Advanced Level Reiki Practitioner, I have augmented my wellness toolkit, further emphasizing my commitment to holistic healing. My recent focus has been on guiding individuals through meditation practices, particularly those facing physical challenges. Drawing from my own journey, I emphasize the ability to disassociate from pain through meditation, fostering a positive and resourceful outlook.
 

My overarching objective is to impart the understanding that meditation is not just a standalone practice but a quality that can enhance every aspect of life. Through my teachings, I aim to empower individuals to integrate mindfulness into their daily actions, promoting resilience, focus, and overall well-being.
