My Journey

Everything changed for me nine years ago, when I fell ill with a series of health crises, that modern medicine could not find the answers for. I was working in the corporate world at the time, and was just about to start a year-long foundational course in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. Aided by a Jungian psychotherapist, I started to; examine my inner world in more depth, see how I’d been shaped by past experiences, and uncover bit-by-bit the emotions that I had buried for a long time.

Upon completion of the psychotherapy course, I went through a year-long integrative shamanic course in 2018 to continue seeking answers to my ongoing health issues. This course was predominantly focused on the shamanic medicine wheel and healing practices of The Q’ero from the Andes. The course also touched on the worlds of family constellations, past life regression, breathwork, and tantra.

The dis-ease and various ailments in my body intensified to such an extent that I left the corporate world in 2019. I journeyed to the Peruvian Amazon to heal, working with several Shipibo Tribe Maestros (Teachers) and plant medicines there. Upon returning to the U.K., I spent some time at the Tibetan Buddhist monastery Samye Ling in Scotland, then lockdown with my family in London in 2020.

In 2021, I attended my first grief circle in Devon, which opened my eyes to the power of the shared therapeutic space. I also started counselling / mentoring with a psychotherapist, who has a background in Sufism. In 2022, I embarked on a twenty week ‘Racism In Real Time’ course, examining the racial wound, how this plays out in both the inner and outer worlds, and how I take up space. I attended my first men’s retreat weekend. I went on a deeper-dive four-day group grief journey. I also completed a foundational course in shamanic dreaming.

Towards the end of 2022, I became a father to a beautiful son. In 2023, I completed an ‘Apprenticing to Grief’ training program to gain skills to hold spaces for grief, looking at the power of creating ritual space together, and studying different practices and ceremonies for expressing and witnessing grief. I became a fulltime single parent. I also started working with a shamanic practitioner, going through some of the Native American initiatory rites, along with several sweatlodges.

In 2024, I started studying and working with Sekhem, an ancient Egyptian energy healing, under the training, spiritual guidance, and mentorship of a Sekhem Master. In 2025, I became initiated in Sekhem Energy Healing, to start practicing and facilitating healing spaces for others. I continue growing under the tutelage of the Sekhem Master.

Now here in 2026, I am still learning and grateful for all of the teachers and medicine that I have been blessed with along the way. I am here to humbly share my experience and wisdom gathered, to help nourish you to heal, strengthen, grow, connect, prosper, and flourish, to reach your Highest Potential. I truly know that we can recover from anything that life has thrown up for us. Do not limit or doubt yourself. The time is now.
