Whilst studying the humanities at university I became passionate about social change and personal development. I became very interested in Eastern philosophical traditions. What I saw was that Eastern traditions combine a very high vision for human potential with very practical tools for evoking personal transformation.
A large part of my professional work developed through connecting 'personal transformation' with 'social change'. I hold the perspective that the more self-awareness we have, the stronger our positive impact in the world will be. Ultimately, I see that 'personal' and 'collective / social' are not really separate. Understanding this on the deepest level brings about the most powerful change.
In the late 90s I worked in the UK parliament as a civil servant in HR, specialising in training and development.
Later, I worked as a manager for a pioneering fairtrade giftware company. It held human growth and development, rather than shareholder profit, as its central guiding principles.
More recently, I worked as a health and well-being coach for two large NHS trusts in Cambridgeshire and North London.
Over the last few years I have been transitioning to become a full-time freelance career coach & executive coach:- coaching myself to a place of deeper integrity where my deepest values and vision can take expression in the work I do in the world.
I have been practicing meditation and mind training for close to 25 years. I have also been teaching mindfulness and meditation for over fifteen years.
I have a lifelong passion for the arts, particularly post-impressionist style painting, singing and playing the guitar.
I'm a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) with Associate Certified Coach (ACC) designation. I am a fully qualified Breathworks mindfulness teacher and BFA accredited focusing therapist.
