About Me

I started life training as a dentist – but I hit a wall when I realised the medical system would only respond to symptoms, rather than work towards true reclamation of life.

The resulting burnout, fatigue and depression I experienced was agonising. Conventional psychological support, wellness offerings and life coaching were of no benefit to me. None of them could see the fractured identity I was carrying, nor work on the deep architectural level I required.

All else had failed – until a spark lit within me. I turned to poetry.

What I found was remarkable: Poetry is like a stem cell, uniquely capable of regenerating tissue in any wound of life. By synthesising the wisdom of creative expression, ancient and modern knowledge, and deep interpersonal work, I’ve developed a life-changing toolset to help give a voice to unspoken truths. When I mastered my word, my self-limiting belief systems collapsed, my patterns of self-sabotage ceased, and renewed purpose and energy returned.

Today, I bring these exact insights to thought-leaders, change-makers and entrepreneurs across the world. I’ve always thrived on cutting through illusions and getting to the heart of the matter, and I work intimately with high-performing individuals to close the exhausting, painful chapters of their lives, and help them become the author of their next evolutionary leap.
