Made big decisions often, make big mistakes too.

In every case, I've lived a varied life, leapt into every experience and lived without fear.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've run a small business and taught meditation full time for 4 Years.

If you didn't know how to meditate, but always wanted to try, I'm the guy for you.

Was a professional, trained, cook for 8 years, with a speciality in Asian food.

I'm vegetarian/vegan

I know about marketing, writing, public speaking, websites, psychology, cooking, organisation, mindfulness and awareness techniques, leadership, a little about neuroscience and Sanskrit.

One of the biggest things I've learnt is that people have to ask to learn. Nobody likes a know it all, mostly people want to be listened to, not lectured to by people eager to prove themselves.

The best exchange is an honest understanding between two people - everything else is a positive addition.
