about me

I was sent to boarding school at the age of eight, while my parents moved around the world with the armed forces. By sixteen, I’d left school with no qualifications—and went on to spend the next fifteen years living and working across four continents and eleven countries.

Since then, I’ve worked in just about every setting imaginable: from the Foreign Office to construction sites, from youth work to physiotherapy, from running an organic farm to bouncing on a cruise ship. I’ve had my own TV series, played sport at a high level, written a book, and served as a county councillor and cabinet member in housing, environmental services, poverty, and leisure in Cyngor Gwynedd.

What ties all of this together isn’t the variety—it’s the search. For meaning. For health. For connection. For something real.

For the past 20 years, I’ve been on an intense personal journey—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I’ve tried just about everything in the pursuit of genuine well-being. Along the way, I discovered that I’m highly sensitive, deeply empathetic, and far more capable than I was ever led to believe.

I’ve come to a place where I feel grateful for every part of the journey—including the hard parts. Because all of it brought me here: to a life where I genuinely appreciate what it means to be alive.
