Who am i?

Background

I grew up from humble origins in north London, England, UK in a town called Enfield. My family brought me up in a very liberal way which allowed me to discover who I was without the pressure of needing to satisfy their expectations. Family time often involved forest adventures, trips to the beach, hiking up mountains, and generally exploring new places whenever we could. I was always a very creative, curious and perceptive child. From a young age I never felt like I truly belonged to my peer group, I could sense the inner intentions and feelings of others very easily and couldnt shift the feeling that there was something different about me. I later learnt that there has been a history of white witches who were sensitive and naturally psychic in the family. After some reflection I decided to develop my inherited psychic abilities in a Psychic development circle and eventually started working as a Psychic Medium for a TV company that I still work for from time to time (Psychic today).

My Passion

My passion was always about helping people and I mastered many fields in the spiritual realm, such as astrology, meditation, chakra clearing, clairvoyance, energy healing, tarot, etc. I did however always have my head firmly in reality and felt that there were so many frauds in the field that told people what they wanted to hear and simply read words from cards. I also felt that a lot of people tended to rely on predictions coming true and chose not to take control of their life, leading to a reliance on my counsel. I felt that this was not really helping people to own their life.

Further development and qualifications

I decided to diversify my skills. I gained a Chrysalis diploma in Hypnotherapy and Counselling skills Dip Hyp CS at Liverpool Hope University. My intention was to help people work through their internal struggles and learn how to tranform themselves into their full potential. I later developed a passion for helping society in a way that I felt had the most influence. The young minds of our children. I chose to study further and got a BA with Honours in Primary Science Education with QTS at Edge Hill University. I hoped that aiding children with their self-development could prevent the growing insecurities I saw in the younger generation. After getting my Teaching degree with distinction I decided to continue my studies. I successfully completeted my post graduate Masters of Science (Psychology) with distinction at the University of Hertfordshire, and chose to develop further qualifying as a level 4 accredited coach (IPHM). 

My Reflections

The world of teaching for me did not tackle the core issues that were underpinning the majority of the problems that most people faced. It was not preparing children to be the strong, creative innovators that the world needed and despite attempting to change the teaching system to involve much more self-awareness the pressures of the National Curriculum restricted what difference I was able to make. School seems to teach children how to sit down, shut up and do as they are told, whether they want to learn what is being taught or not. Good teachers make this fun, but it is still the same premise: learn what we want you to learn, not what you want to learn. When children get bored and want to do something else (learn what they want in their own way in their own time) they are labelled as having behaviour issues. The fundamental agenda of education in school is not really to help children develop themselves but to teach them the skills the government deem essential to get a job and condition children to behave in a way that they think is acceptable.   

The consequence

When we follow the recipe taught to us in school we get the job we thought we wanted and behave in the way we have been taught to behave. We soon realise that in reality the repetition of doing the same thing over and over has sucked the joy out of the job. We then have to keep the job going well after it has served its purpose for personal growth simply to pay bills and keep a home. After many years of repetition people tend to lose the essence of who they are, their lust for life, and look forward to the handful of luxuries that having a little extra money provides: Netflix, a holiday, some new clothes, etc. People seem to get lost in working and escaping, they forget to live!

My inspiration

I was inspired in my late teens by a book called the Celestine Prophecies by James Redfield. This book told the story of a man who escaped the grind of life and followed his inner calling which led him on a wonderful journey of self-development, true friendship, adventure and spiritual enlightenment. I believe that everyone has the capability to unlearn what we have been taught and live a life following their intuitive inner call, one that embraces our spiritual nature rather than supresses it. However, what  often holds us back is not having the time or resources to do so. We are so burdened by the upkeep of our stuck-in-a-rut lifestyle that we lose track of what life should really be about. We are blinkered by the prison we self-perpetuate. This leads people to become stressed, anxious, depressed and untimately lost, serving everyone else but themselves. Many of us have heard of the analogy of the frog that doesn’t know it is being boiled alive because the water is being incrementally increased over time. Comfort zones, luxuries and distractions are today’s boiling water. I believe that  people need to be shaken out of their comfort zone prisons, given knowledge and techniques to become their full potential, and heighten their vibration so they can have their gift to the world flow through them, allowing them to free themselves from economic pressures. This allows people to use their time to be truly fulfilled whilst being able to embrace the spiritual adventure that life, in my opinion, should be.  Hence me creating this site.
