I’m a Rapid Transformational Therapist (RTT) & Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner (EFT) that helps people transform their lives and achieve their full potential.
My Story
Its been a long bumpy journey to get me where I am today, and I wouldn’t change a minute of it.
My traumas and loss in life have lead me on a path of healing and self-discovery.
After losing my father at the age of 17, I went off the rails and dropped out of college. Lacking purpose and direction, I joined the British Army (The ideal thing to do when dealing with bereavement emoji). After completing four years of military service and one operational tour of Afghanistan, I left the army diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression.
The military doctors and the therapists who were treating me were no longer able to care for me because my army contract had ended. I was left without any support, and my continuity of treatment wasn’t arranged with civilian healthcare providers.
After years of substance and alcohol abuse, a few overdoses, and a progression of my mental health conditions, I decided it was time for a change, even though the dark place I was in, change seemed impossible and out of my reach. I did not believe that good could come in my life, and neither did I deserve it.
This is where my journey with mind-body healing, self-development began. I read a book by Shaun Achor called before happiness, and I realised that if I ever wanted to create a happy future, I would have to work on my happiness in the present. I became more spiritually inclined and would pray and meditate. I read countless self-help books about positive psychology and mindset and started to consciously change my thought patterns. As we all know – this is easier said than done.
“The habit of thought precedes habit of action – first, we must change our thinking if we are to change our actions.”
One of the biggest game-changers for releasing my trauma, anxiety and depression was the use of hypnotherapy and EFT. Hypnotherapy allows you to enter a relaxed state where the subconscious mind is open to suggestions. Up to that point, I had been giving myself negative suggestion like “I’m not good enough, I’m a failure, I can never be happy, I have no prospects in life”. I went to practitioners and also used the hypnosis recordings that I would listen to every day.
In rapid time I noticed changes not only in my mood, but every area of my life started to transform. I had more energy, and I was more optimistic, I began to meet new people, I would enjoy the things I used love doing, I even learned new skills and launched a successful business!!! I didn’t need anyone to tell me that a positive mindset can lead to positive results because I had now witnessed experienced it myself. I
I don’t tell you this to brag, but to shine a light of hope into the mind of any of you who might be feeling a little helpless and hopeless like I once was. First, you need to believe that change can happen – and this can apply to any situation in your life. No matter how dark and painful things get, there is always hope for a better future. That starts with changing your beliefs and thoughts in the present moment.
After becoming too comfortable with my life and having and losing my Mum to cancer in 2016, I slowed down with my self-development and started to slip into old patterns of thinking. I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis- a degenerative autoimmune condition in 2018 and the love of my life left me in 2019. In my world, things felt dark. Again, I developed these beliefs that bad things always happen to me and things never work out. I was angry, and I felt helpless, hopeless, depressed and anxious. My Self-esteem was destroyed. I thought I wasn’t loveable and I didn’t deserve love.
Things were about to change… again…
One of those fateful moments occurred, which has changed the trajectory of my life.
An ad for a Mind Valley seminar in Sydney popped up on my feed. I was only recently separated and thought I would find anything to do to stop me from ruminating over my ex-wife.
I attended the seminar, which was facilitated by Jade Green. It was based on the book Code of the extraordinary mind by Vishen Lackiani. The seminar was based on how we can use our mind to create extraordinary lives. I started to remember all of the positive habits I developed that had changed my life back when I was 22. We talked about how our thoughts and beliefs can affect our external reality. The importance of letting go of anger, guilt, shame, fear and cultivating Joy, love, peace and forgiveness. By changing our state to that of Joy, love and peace, we are able to create a better future. We finished off with the 6 phase meditation, and I left feeling fantastic and hopeful once again
I was now determined to work on myself. I decided to take responsibility for my life and my circumstances. I started business/life coaching with Jade Green along with having my own routine of self-development which included, journaling, prayer, meditation, self-hypnosis, eating a plant-based diet, EFT, reading books, and exercise.
Once again, I started to see the changes in my life. I felt happier, more grateful, optimistic. Once I began to change my internal state, everything else in my life started to change. I had more energy and drive to grow my business, and I started to go out and meet new friends, it was as if life started to flow again. I discussed many of my new habits with Jade, who recommended that I study RTT.
I subsequently signed up for the RTT course and immediately knew in my heart that this was the right path to take! I felt like I was in alignment with my life purpose, and it was all because I started to work on myself. RTT is a game-changer because it allows you to regress to the route cause of an issue and then change it at a subconscious level while encoding new empowering beliefs. It feels like a cheat code to life.
My biggest win is beating Ankylosing Spondylitis, a condition that conventionally can’t be cured- although doctors do say it can go into remission, but is likely to relapse at some point. When I was diagnosed with AS, the rheumatologist told me I would have the condition for life, and that I would certainly have to start medication at some point. I asked if it’s possible to go into remission and he said that it’s possible but, the nature of AS is that it would always relapse. The doctor offered a suggestion- that I will always have the condition, and it would only get worse. He’s just doing his job based on his understanding and experience. However, I refused to accept that belief and chose to believe that I could have optimum health and life the life that I wanted.
At its peak before the diagnosis, I would be unable to walk due to inflammation in my sacroiliac (SI) joints and spine. I resigned to the fact I would never get to play soccer again and worried about taking part in normal daily activities like playing with my son Noah in the park or going for walks. I was determined that I would heal myself naturally and achieve excellent health so I could enjoy life on my terms. I knew about the saying “you are what you eat”, since learning RTT I’ve also discovered that “you are what you think”. Utilising these two concepts, I changed my diet to a wholefood diet cutting out processed and inorganic foods. I started telling my self what I wanted to see, which was fantastic health. I used EFT to release toxic emotions, anger, resentment, fear, jealousy while using RTT command cell therapy to bring about healing to my body. To my amazement, I am now 100% pain-free. I play soccer again and am in the best shape of my life. I’m not on any medications, and I haven’t been back to the rheumatologist for two years. I refuse to accept the ankylosing spondylitis!
