My story

I have arrived at something many spend years searching for,

and this is how I live.

I specialise and teach skill-based, full-body movement practiced for longevity and joy in movement. For me it’s never about willpower, motivation or pushing hard. It’s something deeper – profound, effortless and clarity in every movement. I train for the joy of it and everything else follows.

I don’t chase short-term fixes or ritualised abstinence. My approach is about cultivating rhythm, skill and awareness all year round, where health is lived, not imposed. I’m someone who’s still learning, still playing and still getting better. I’ve been a beginner for a long time… and I plan to stay one.  

Helping someone discover a practice they genuinely look forward to is the most rewarding part of my work.

In the 1980s, I pursued Judo to a high level, representing my county at U21 and in the summer of 1988 I had the privilege of training with the British Olympic Judo Squad as they prepared for the Seoul Olympics.

Today, at 59, I move with more strength, energy and resilience than I did over 35 years ago, proof that skilful, sustained practice endures far beyond youth. Age is an abstraction, limits are not; capacity, coordination, recovery, curiosity and the joy of practice are what matters. 

In 2018, my wife and I took a sabbatical to walk the 630-mile South West Coast Path in one uninterrupted journey, backpacking each day in a heatwave. It was a transformative adventure – physically demanding, deeply emotional and quietly spiritual – a reminder of what is possible when movement, presence and determination come together. It was a movement practice for life, a ceremony of courage, presence and love.
