to deal with the challenges which they face in this very complex, and sometimes confusing world.

As well as qualifying in a range of related applied psychological practices including NLP, Time Line and hypnotherapy, I have worked with a number of world-renowned shamans and developed a repertoire of shamanic practitioner skills. From Malidoma Patrice Some – the Dagara scholar / shaman and author of a number of best selling books – I have developed the skills of Divination and healing rituals. From Dr Alberto Villoldo – the author, psychologist, medical anthropologist and shaman – and the medicine people of the High Andes and Amazonian jungle, I have explored the concept of our ‘energy body’ and healing power of nature and learned the ancient skills of ‘Soul Retrieval’. From Manolo Cetina – a colleague of the Toltec scholar Victor Sanchez – I have studied and practised the ‘Way of the Warrior’ (peaceful). And, from Ram Chatlani – great grandson of Tehjban, a pearl fisher and mystic from Hynderabad – I have learned and practised Chi Gung, Tai Chi and Taoist Breathing and Meditation.

On the more traditional side, I am a qualified teacher with a Diploma in Management Studies and a Masters degree in management.

My first book ‘Guardian Angel’ , tells the story of a Chief Executive of a Financial Services business, who receives fascinating insights into his life and business from a mysterious woman working in the business. The next one, a sequel, is on the way.

My work with my colleague and friend Jonathan Snell – Alexander Technique teacher, psychotherapist and shamanic practitioner – has also been very significant on my own personal journey.
