About Me

I am a writer, a wanderer and a lover of wild and remote places. I am deeply curious about life and the entrancing world which surrounds and sustains us. I have my roots in both science and soul.

 

It is my great pleasure to work with people who want to make a difference in their lives, as well as people who know it is time for their lives to make a difference in their community, their organisations, and the wider world.

My background

Too much Dr Who and Star Trek as a child resulted in me wanting to understand how our universe worked. I studied astrophysics at university and, along with a good degree, I gained an appreciation for how much we really still don't know. My desire to travel to far flung places led me to train as a meteorologist, and I spent many years forecasting the weather in remote locations overseas including the stunningly beautiful windswept Falkland Islands.
 

My curiosity was also directed towards understanding our inner world; what it is to be human, to live with doubt and courage, and how to heal after we have been wounded. So alongside my science based career I trained as a Reiki practitioner, a body worker, a coach and eventually I undertook an intense initiatory 3 year training as a Shamanic practitioner.


These two strands of science and soul spiral each other double-helix like in my life. I weave the two together in my current coaching practice which is based on my beautiful off-grid narrowboat home as I slowly cruise the UK canal network

 

I work with clients 1:1 globally online in English, as well as offering workshops and online sanctuary spaces for groups to meet and explore both personal and global issues.

I love adventure. I have been a microlight pilot and a Bee-keeper. I have served in the armed forces seeing service in both Bosnia and Kuwait (many life lessons learned there). I have been an ultra-runner specialising in 100+ mile foot races. I still run, but not quite so far!

 

I love being close to nature, one of the reasons I have chosen to live aboard my narrowboat Bright Arrow. I still love exploring wild places and sleeping under the stars. I like marmite, hot chocolate and open fires. Steam trains are one of my favourite things. I share my narrowboat home with my beautiful cat,  Rygel.

I've listed below in no particular order some of my qualifications for those of you who like to know these things. I'm always learning and I'm currently slowly teaching myself to play the mandolin.

 

With love
