About Paul

"I am truly greatful for the diverse, challenging and colourful journey, to all those teachers along the way especially the ones I scowled at!"
Early on..
From a very early age I followed my own intuitive path, curiously and sometimes out of necessity recreating my occupations and directions. There has always been a strong sense of spirit in all my endeavours.

At eleven to fifteen I was in boarding school and learned deeply about myself and human behaviour. This experience provided many insights and intuitive skills that underpin my awareness of people and conditions and in many ways formed the foundation of my work today.

At the age of sixteen I discovered yoga through a book I picked up in a shop. I excitedly read it from cover to cover. It was full of wonder for me, crazy body positions and how yoga could open a way of understanding life so differently from a western perspective, it has stayed with me to this day. Movement, breath and stretching are always a supportive resource.

Having been married and separated by the age of 26 with four children under the age of 9, when everything seemed ludicrously out of control, yoga or at least my own version of yoga, meditation, sound, music and space for spirit literally saved my sanity.
My Journey
I have worked in many areas usually with my hands across different industries learning from the ground as I went and training in the moment. I always felt like a creative artist, painting and making music when time allowed. I have taught enthusiastic adult pupils how to play saxophone using unorthodox intuitive body and aural based methods in as little as six one hour lessons from scratch.

This diversity and exploration of life experience and sometimes crushing realities have imbued me with a deep understanding of both the versatility and rigid perspectives of humanity in our thinking, emotional and physical bodies and so our systems.

I have studied in different ways during my life through music, meditation, courses, walks, quests and reading, absorbing many teachings and perceptions written and presented by inspiring people from Caroline Myss, Ram Dass to Eckhart Tolle to name just a few.
We can all bloom
It occurred to me that if we are all one and are individuations of divine and wonderful creation, maybe we are not here trying to figure out what's out there, rather we are out there trying to figure what's here..
Passion & Creativity
My passion for creativity, attention to detail, joy, exploration and expression has always sought to emerge through creative pursuit. From a very early age I have been drawn to working through music and art as vehicles of expression and deep connection.

As music became more important I always had a strong desire for the music to heal or touch people in some way that would help them make sense of their lives, connect to innate true power that is your, 'Original Self '

It became clear to me turning fifty that my journey had brought me to a long developing path for intuitive healing work.
Those strong creative impulses with sound, music and creativity make sense to me now and have embodied in my approach to everything.

Drawing on this empirical understanding and life's trials and tribulations, insights and observations, my passion is to assist others to embrace true soverign nature that can be expressed in all you can be in life as your unique divine signature that we like to call ' Mototo '

Like our written signature I believe that we have a unique divine energetic signature a sort of ip address that identifies who and where we are, in our beings' journey as part of the greater whole of creation.

Our invitation is to remember this knowing and proceed from our story our way at our pace, expressing the unique beauty of who we are, our personal perspectives and share our gifts that each and everyone of us possess.
