About

A few words about me and how I got into healing . . .

My first career was in tech', I studied Microelectronics and Software Engineering 1991-5, then began work in the tech industry.
Even as a student I took an interest in psychology, raiding the university library on this topic.
I started exploring alternative health for my own needs in the late 90s, and actively learning about it from the early 2000s.
In 2000 I took a break from the tech industry and studied Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy, and Counselling. Thereafter I had two careers in tandem.
In 2008 I did some third world travel, and got somewhat ill. I was very skeptical about orthodox medicine, but didn't yet know how to deal with the situation on my own, so reluctantly I went to the local hospital, and took the pills they gave me. Those 8 pills proved to be the turning point in my life. Thereafter my health crashed. From 2009-14 I was unable even to take volunteer work, and spent this time learning everything I could about health, and trying "everything".
Circa 2012 I learned about Dr Daniels. She is a medical doctor from New York, who, quite legally, offered her patients choices, something like this:

"Here are the drugs I'm supposed to prescribe, and here is the list of possible side effects - or we can talk about diet, lifestyle, etc."
Most of her patients took the latter option, and the doctor observed she could achieve more with these changes than with pharmaceuticals, and they were far safer. Over the course of the next decade, she refined her art and made major discoveries and breakthroughs. She became so sought after, people travelled internationally to see her.
When the local pharma reps found out what was happening she was pressured and told she'd be "investigated". Knowing the fate of every other doctor who's stepped off the plantation, she surrendered her medical license. She thought: "Why fight this? It's only a license to prescribe drugs, which I'm hardly doing anyway."
She was later forced out of the USA, set up in Central America, and began podcasting to inform listeners of the dark reality of modern medicine. The meds I'd been prescribed in 2008 featured in one of her podcasts as one of "The deadliest medicines on the market".
I returned to the workplace in 2014, and continued my learning from the doctor. At the end of 2017 my employer downsized, and my contract ended. The timing worked for me too, as my health was then at a low ebb. In 2018 I made a conscious choice to commit to healing before re-entering the workplace. What followed was 18 months of extreme detoxification. It turned out, with the main protocol I was using, I was the most sensitive student I've heard of - due to my extreme toxic overload prior to starting.
By mid 2019 I was symptom free, and felt better than I could ever remember as an adult. My quality of life was far beyond what I had expected.
I returned to Newcastle to teach Karate and offer massage therapy and hypnotherapy. In 2020-1 I took further training from Dr Daniels to take me to practitioner level. Dr Daniels has treated thousands of patients and was much sought after up to her semi-retirement. Her approach to healing is unique and powerful. I have offered healing consultations since 2021 following her training.
As exceptional as Dr Daniels' training is, there is always more to learn. I began training with the School of Natural Healing (SNH) in April 2025, to expand my knowledge of health and healing. My training with them is ongoing. SNH was founded by the legendary herbalist Dr Christopher in the 20th century. He and Dr Daniels have approaches that often overlap, but just as often differ. Studying with both schools gives me a broader training, and more options when helping people.

Right Now

I'm offering consultations in natural healing, drawing on everything I've learned over the last 20+ years, including my formal training since 2020. My training in psychotherapy is often also applicable.

Right now I'm offering consultations at a price far below their worth. This is because I want to generate word of mouth referrals and testimonials. I cannot offer free consultations for this purpose because I need to filter out those who are serious about their healing, and who are ready to take action, versus those who merely dream about being healthy. Also there are obviously costs involved from my side. The current offer will not be on the table forever.

Realistically

If you've health challenges, how much can realistically be achieved? Countless case studies including my own experience show that with the right approach, huge gains can be made. Orthodox care is great for patching people up after traffic collisions and so on, but for dealing with chronic illness, is far from ideal. The natural healing option is much better for most people.

There are plant substances that are so powerful that after experiencing them one might describe them as "silver bullets" - but in reality, there is no herb, no oil, nothing, that will help someone overcome a longstanding chronic illness unless they're willing to optimise their diet and lifestyle also. I've experienced it first hand: amazing plant cure + wrong diet = no progress. Diet and lifestyle are always the essential foundations. Fix these foundations first, then add specific treatments, and you'll be amazed at what's possible.

Can I help you?

If the above makes sense to you, if you're willing to make changes, and you're looking for help with any of the following, contact me:

Weight loss - some discipline is required, but a sense of being starved is neither necessary nor beneficial. What you need is knowledge;
Weight gain - to reach a healthy weight in a healthy way;
Digestive issues;
Skin complaints;
Psychological / neurological issues (depression, etc.) - these are often rooted in poor physical health;
Autoimmune diseases;
Chronic diseases in general.

Why Me?

I have not just learned about health from textbooks and webinars, I've experienced extreme ill health, and taken a long journey back to health, exploring many options. Many of the options offered limited benefit, and some made matters worse. A small fraction gave dramatic improvement. I can save you years of searching for the most effective approaches. I may even have personally figured out the lowest effective dose of at least one protocol, just by being so sensitive to it. This has given me a healthy respect for some of the stronger treatments. I'm cautious, but not too cautious.

Why Now?

When we're ill, we're living only a fraction of our possible lives. There are times to wait (I don't recommend starting one week before a holiday abroad, for instance), but for most people, the best time to start healing is 20 years ago, and the second best time to start is today. Every day put off is another day lived at less than it could be.
