Experience

My approach has evolved organically to reflect my continuous research, experience and consciousness.

Below, I have listed my experience between October 2011 when I opened my wellbeing consultancy, Breathe 4 Wellbeing, and provided a more traditional model of talking therapy and 2025, when I began to practice under my name as a transformative therapist, mentor, teacher and speaker.

The latter chapter reflects my commitment to grounding my whole approach in transformative neuroscience, both in respect of the presence I embody, and the integration of Breath Perception, Nervous System Regulation, Heart intelligence, Embodiment, Reiki and Contemporary, Practical Spirituality.

This approach supports immediate, radical transformation and the cultivation of awareness and practical tools people can use for the rest of their lives.
