Hello and thank you for taking the time to visit my pages.

I am a qualified mindfulness-based stress management and transformational performance coach and an aquatic bodyworker. I am the creator and designer of my vision for 21stSanctuary and blessed to be the current guardian of this amazing venue.

In my former professional careers, spanning over thirty years, as a barrister in the public sector working as a Senior Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service.Working professionally in such a high-pressured environment, often with extremely challenging and disturbing incidents,I was a heavy smoker at the time, using cigarettes as a prop to "help me" get through.

I stumbled upon a simple method for stopping smoking, and I liked the method so much that I became a franchised addictions counsellor and facilitator for 15 years. I went on and formalised my knowledge and studied with Professor Stephen Palmer PhD and his colleagues at the Center for Stress Management in both CBT and also rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT) modalities.
