I have always been interested in human behaviour and development. I graduated with a degree in Psychology & Maths, and my first career was as a secondary school teacher. Five years later, disillusioned with the direction education was moving in, I switched career and became an IT project manager. In the mid-90s, an injury to my left knee prevented me from playing competitive squash for three years. After two years of trying conventional medicine with no improvement, I was introduced to Homeopathy. I returned to playing squash within 5 weeks. Whilst riding a 100-mile charity cycle ride from Bristol to London in 2003, I was knocked off my bike by a motorcyclist. I suffered massive bruising, multiple soft tissue injuries and sciatica, and was off work for six weeks. This was a turning point in my life - the police had expected a fatality. I used my acquired knowledge and pilates to support my own healing. A year later I ran a half marathon on behalf of Cancer Research to support my son, who was treated for cancer early in 2004.
