A bit about me
Three chapters into my journey
I’m well into the third chapter of my life, as a broadly experienced, well-rounded people helper. The first, incredible chapter played out over 26 years in Africa, mostly farming. The second, unforgettable chapter was spent doing the 23-year-long London Corporate two-step.
I sailed close to the wind and had a great many interesting and challenging learning opportunities. Aside from the priceless experience gained at the school of hard knocks I also have qualifications in agriculture, IT, project management and hypnotherapy.
A lot of life has passed under this bridge and, over time, focused academic study has spanned any gaps. I believe that it is this unique blend of experience, knowledge, years, failures and successes that gives me an edge today. It is the confidence and skills born from this experience that affords me the privilege to take up the lamp and walk the distance with my clients.
I believe that life is a training ground. That everything happens for a reason. I believe in second chances, and I believe that I’ve had mine, so that I can help others have theirs.

My Story
Smooth sailing
It felt incredible as I settled into that place I had long since coveted! I had the dream project management job. I had worked up, into a fantastic organisation, surrounded by bright individuals in a challenging environment. I had the respect of management and my peers, responsibility, and a handsome day-rate. The outlook was bright and held great promise. A long, wide road lay ahead.
Collision course
I was caught by surprise and didn’t see it coming. I ran into an obstacle that hit me with the explosive impact of a freight train. It shook my world and rattled me to the core. I went from calm, confident and capable one minute, to angry, confused and incapable the next. None of it made any sense. I had lost myself in a heartbeat. Everything hung in the balance as I teetered perilously close to the edge, staring into a very uncomfortable parallel universe.
The crossroad
My wife and daughter cornered me with an ultimatum. It was a bitter pill to swallow but they were right! Something had to change, it had to be me, and it had to be right now! I could so easily have ejected, or turned left, but a deep breath, a brief pause, and a loving family saved me from that fate. The decision to explore career options bought me some reprieve, and solution-focused hypnotherapy paved the way back to a long-lost passion.

I made a decision, found a direction, garnered a little faith, and took the first step into the unknown. I learned that change is an inside job and that the most important step I can ever take is the step I take today! Whilst studying hypnotherapy I was blown away by how the mind works, it's predictability, and the speed, simplicity, and efficacy of the solutions to many common issues. Today I am fortunate, privileged and grateful to be able to help others navigate their way out of dark and difficult places and find their way back, as I did!

You really can have the life that you want!
I don't levitate, and my clients are ordinary people just like you. They achieve extraordinary outcomes without possessing superpowers. Most of them were at a crossroad, got stuck, reached out, had faith, and persevered through the challenges (with a little support) and emerged victorious. You can too!
