I have spent a lifetime searching for healing.

After 40 years as a doctor in a medical practice near London, I couldn’t shake the deep knowing that I wasn’t meeting the needs of many of my patients by treating psycho-emotional conditions with pharmaceutical drugs. It was then that I walked away, making the difficult decision to leave medicine to find better ways to heal.

I studied Gestalt in the UK and the USA, graduating from the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland and worked for 15 years as a Gestalt psychotherapist. Although this was a powerful modality, small shifts often took years and led me to wonder if there were simpler, more practical methods that I could integrate into my practice.

After 8 years as the national TRE trainer for South Africa, teaching TRE to thousands of traumatised people, I saw amazing results - but found that they were not easily sustained. Deep, core wounds from trauma triggered people to revert back to their stressed state after a while. The search continued..

One simple, life-changing experience in 2005 set the course for the next 16 years of my life. The final piece of the puzzle came into focus as I shifted my full attention to learning about the role of the mind in healing the body.
