That's a hard place to be.
​
I can help.

Struggling? Feeling flat, frustrated...
You're sure things could be better,
but you're not sure what to do...

 

​​

There is a way.

​

It's not a way out,

it's a way THROUGH.

​

You know it's time...

  • Become more aware of your thoughts, emotions, actions and the impact of your past.

​

  • New choices and change are ultimately up to you.

​

  • You are ALWAYS in control.

 

  • Life can get better.

Begin your journey... get in touch 

I'm John. I was born in the mid-1960s and have travelled a long way to become who I am now.

​

In my early 50s, my marriage ended and my life fell apart in almost every way a life can fall apart. I felt completely empty, had no energy, little hope, no goals and I was miserable. I was on autopilot, wondering if that was my new normal.

​

Months later, I decided I needed to make some changes. I wanted to transform my life, but didn’t know what to do. I found help and began this work, starting from the inside out... it wasn't easy.

 

A very important moment was when I found the courage to stop running from my past. I stopped, turned and acknowledged that past. It was the beginning of deep change for me, and marked the true beginning of my journey. 

​

I noticed that instead of running and pretending the difficulties and pain hadn't happened, I could own my past and learn from my experiences. I learned that I am a tough, resilient man, not in spite of, but because of those challenges. I now honour and acknowledge that past. I reconnected with parts of myself that needed attention, cried, got angry, wrote, spoke and let go of old emotional injuries (trauma - both big T and little t) that I had carried for years. I gradually became more whole than I have ever been, became completely alive, full of energy and very clear about how I want to live my life and who I want to be. 

​

It was messy and definitely did NOT happen in a straight line, but I got here. My life is fantastic. I’m in charge… not my past, not the things that happened to me or were said to me, not the doubts I carried, but me. I’ve carefully chosen the pieces that make up my life. It’s not perfect... and that’s perfect!
