I was born and raised on the North Shore, Auckland, where I have lived for most of my life. During my early years, a lot of my time was spent enjoying the local beaches, sailing and golf.

​

My working-life started in the building industry where I first completed training as a builder before moving into site management. I enjoyed my time in this industry but felt something was missing in my life, a passion I had not yet discovered. I found it in the freedom that came with flying, so I learnt to fly, obtaining my private pilot’s licence and was just short of completing my commercial pilots licence when I discovered I was unable to retain my medical certificate.

 

While I felt disappointed that I could not continue flying, I then discovered a desire to help others.  This led me to train in therapeutic and sports massage, as well as cranial-sacral therapy. Again, I found myself in a position of not being able to continue, this time due to a hand injury. But I was still drawn to a healing path and discovered Psychosynthesis, a ‘psychology of the self’.

 

Through Psychosynthesis (where I began my own healing journey) I learnt a lot about myself, at the same time still feeling really drawn by the desire to help others on their life journey. What followed was 7 years spent completing a diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling and Psychotherapy. I finally found my vocational calling and passion.

 

On a more personal note I practice meditation, yoga and have used Traditional Chinese Medicine.  I have a passion for golf, enjoy keeping fit and have completed a number of triathlons (short and middle distance)

 

Finally, and this is by no means least, I was lucky enough to meet a wonderful woman who is now my wife, and together we have been blessed with a son, who lights up our world. 

 

I would very much welcome the opportunity to get to know you and help you on your life’s journey to live a more fulfilling life.
