MY JOURNEY
THREE DECADES OF EXPLORING THE BODY’S WISDOM
What I know about healing didn’t come from one qualification or one teacher. It came from thirty years of working with thousands of people, asking questions, and following my curiosity wherever it led.
That curiosity took me into human dissection labs, treatment rooms, remote villages, monasteries and traditional healing communities across the world. I wanted to understand why some people found freedom from pain, limiting beliefs and repeating patterns, while others remained stuck despite doing everything they thought they should.
Over time, I realised I wasn’t searching for another technique. I was searching for a deeper understanding of people. Everything I teach today is built on that understanding: helping people reconnect with the wisdom of their own body, trust themselves more deeply, and create meaningful change that lasts.
WHERE IT BEGAN
THE FOUNDATION
WHEN I STARTED SEEING THE WHOLE PERSON
Early in my career, I began working with a mentor who did something that would shape my entire approach. She massaged my feet while I talked.
For years, she demonstrated something I would later spend decades exploring: healing doesn’t happen in the body or the mind. It happens when we work with both simultaneously.
As I began working with clients, I noticed the same thing. People would often tell me one story with their words while their body revealed another. From that moment on, I stopped treating symptoms in isolation and started understanding the whole person.
WHEN QUESTIONS BECAME A LIFELONG PURSUIT
WHEN SURVIVAL BECAME MASTERY
The more I learned, the more curious I became. I wanted to understand why some people found freedom from pain, limiting beliefs and repeating patterns, while others stayed stuck despite years of searching for answers.
Breathwork showed me something I hadn’t experienced anywhere else. It wasn’t simply another technique; it was a way of helping people move beyond the thinking mind and reconnect with the intelligence of their body. Combined with hands-on work, it changed the way I understood healing and what creates meaningful, lasting change.
That curiosity became the driving force behind everything I did next.
A LIFETIME OF EXPLORATION
Part of that exploration led me to spend hundreds of hours in human dissection laboratories. I wanted to understand the body from the inside out and see, with my own eyes, the structures I had spent years working with through my hands.
I call myself a SOMANAUT: an explorer of inner space. My studies gave me an understanding of anatomy that continues to shape the way I work, bringing together hands-on experience, intuition and a deep respect for the science of the human body.
That work also led to my published book, Thai Massage Dissected, which bridges traditional healing practices with modern anatomical understanding.
what 30 years has taught me
After working with thousands of people, one thing has become undeniably clear to me: we all have far more capacity for change than we’ve been led to believe.
I’ve seen people recover from persistent pain when nothing else had helped. I’ve watched people transform relationships, make courageous decisions, rediscover joy and completely change the direction of their lives. Not because someone fixed them, but because they learnt to understand themselves differently.
That’s the work I care about most. Helping people reconnect with themselves, trust what their body is telling them, and have the courage to create a life that reflects who they really are.
That’s why no two sessions, retreats or trainings are ever the same. I don’t follow a formula. I listen, observe and work with the person in front of me, helping them uncover what’s keeping them stuck and discover what’s possible when they reconnect with themselves.
