Hi, and thanks for visiting my page. In 2009 I started my training as a personal trainer having previously lived a lifestyle of ‘indulgence’ in the corporate arena, and as a sound engineer in Soho. The calling to be healthier, follow my passion, cultivate my own lifestyle, and to help others became too strong to ignore.

The next stage laid out two paths which I walked simultaneously. One was training in corrective exercise, biomechanics, sports conditioning, strength training, golf assessment.

The other was exploring the holistic side of fitness; with philosophies, movements, meditations, and energy arts from the East.

Some of the most profound moments to date have come from this second path. The synchronicities that have happened, and teachers that have shown me how to feel, explore, and use energy, has sent me on a path of exploration to learn more in order to use it and share it with others.

Which is why I created Five Element Fitness® - a holistic model that incorporates everything I’ve learned so far. It consists of 5 elements that we need to nurture in order to find balance & health. They are: Movement, Energy Cultivation, Mindset, Nutrition, and Strength Training.

Each element has a baseline generic level that we all will benefit from following, then for those that would like to explore, there are deeper dives into different traditions & practices that have stood the test of time.

When each element is working optimally for you there is balance & well-being, and each element will strengthen & lift the others. Conversely, if one of the elements is out of whack it can undermine all the others.

For example, one of the baseline levels in the Energy Element is Sleep. We all know that if we don’t get enough sleep – we choose the wrong foods; are too tired to want to exercise; if we do exercise then our movement & training nets a poor performance; and we have a decreased mindset & foggy outlook.

So we personalise your journey back to health & fitness by exploring each of these elements, and seeing which ones are deficient, and in need of an upgrade.

At the Sanctuary, I will be offering a range of services from Reiki, Qi gong, Meditation, Holistic Lifestyle Coaching (Five Element Fitness), Biomechanical Assessment, TPI Screening, Individual Nutrition Planning. I also do fitness training, and strength workshops offsite & am mobile too.

Qi gong is Chinese in origin, whereas Reiki is Japanese. They are often different in regards to their application and your involvement. Qi gong you are an active participant – moving your body & breath to cultivate the energy, whereas you often receive Reiki from a practitioner – in a seated or lying down position. In both you get to feel and receive energy for health, relaxation, and healing via the use of symbols, mediations, postures, movements, and the laying of hands. Please get in touch to learn more about these fantastic ancient energy practices.
