Childhood
I grew up amidst complex challenges, with both of my parents facing severe mental health issues, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Despite my parents health they did seek answers which I was included in and I was trained in meditation, mindfulness, eastern and western philosophy from age 5. These early experiences shaped my view of the mind and its potential to harm or empower, setting me on a lifelong quest to understand what it means to find inner freedom, security and self optimisation.
20s
In my 20s, I explored life through a variety of jobs, working in bars, clubs, restaurants, cleaning, and as a cycle courier. During this time I travelled extensively on a shoe string and pursued a philosophy degree and Egyptology. I also took intensive training in hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, NLP, personal training, natural medicine and coaching—each discipline helping me connect the dots between mind, body, and personal transformation.
At 27, I was given my own TV series on the Discovery Channel, where I introduced viewers to a unique approach to resolving ‘impossible’ conditions and problems. This exposure allowed me to share transformative methods with a wider audience and solidified my reputation as one of the UK’s leading mind-body experts, appearing on numerous other shows.
Teens
Leaving a cult based school at 16 that I had been placed in with good intentions, but troubled outcomes, I was determined to find my own way. I was head hunted by the military but ‘chose’ a different path due the trauma of my experiences (including OCD, invasive thoughts, profound anxiety, phobias, PTSD, dermatillomania) and spent my teen years in a whirlwind of basic jobs, living in squats and drinking and drug taking in excess.
30s
In my 30s, I moved to Australia, a dream I had since I was 5 where I founded The Mind Academy. This became a launching pad for innovative, world-first programs, such as Fearless at Taronga, a groundbreaking phobia-resolution project, and The Hummingbird Method, a unique approach to trauma resolution. I also developed Mind Master, which has grown to be one of the leading professional hypnotherapist and coach training programs worldwide.
During this time, I had the honor of working as a personal coach to world-champion athletes, top CEOs, and individuals committed to mastering their potential. These experiences showed me the immense impact that transformative mental training could have on even the highest-performing individuals.
40s
My 40s marked a period of recalibration. I took time out to delve deeply into brain training, advanced nutrition, and a pure return to self-development. This phase allowed me to refine and expand my own knowledge, further aligning my work with the latest insights into optimizing mind, body, and spirit. It was a valuable pause that enriched my understanding of human potential.
50s
Now, as I enter my 50s, I have refined my focus yet again. I now help people install their own Limitless OS—a personal operating system designed to help them optimize mind, body, and life. This system empowers individuals to unlock unbounded potential, live resiliently, and experience life without limits.
If you're ready to explore what true self-optimization looks like, let’s connect. This journey has taken me from the depths of despair and adversity to a life of freedom, health, and possibility. I’m here to help you do the same.
