Meditation is the art of cleaning your mirror.

Extensive experience working with energy and the unseen elements of life; breath, heart energy, the gut connection, thoughts, and the energetic body. I’ve been helping people transform and shift energy blocks or over 10 years.

Initially as a pupil at the Buddhist Church where I grounded my experienced in the Buddhist principles and practices. This led to a Vedic master in India who passed on ways to tune into the energetic body alongside the exploration of Eastern versus Western theology in relation to consciousness practices.

Along the way I have mentored with Shamans and holistic healers in order to delve deeply into spiritual practices. Establishing the spiritual boundaries of my own healing offering was a vital output of this that led me to focus on the red thread in these practices and disciplines - our connection to ‘self’ : One must go inwards before going outwards. Which is the opposite to how we normally experience ourselves in western society.

Also, bringing people closer to a natural, holistic existence is one of the main reasons I do this work.

Unhealthy work cultures during my career at the worlds leading fashion & media brands ignited a passion for the internal world of meditation & healing. Waking me up to the side effects of modern society and personal imbalance, and how I could create positive change.

I merged my two worlds by creating The innerness Framework - a business growth model via corporate wellness for the post pandemic challenges and opportunities. I am especially excited by the value we are yet to gain by embracing the new era, which is highly conceptual and creative.

Having been a secondary school teacher and trained as a coach at the very start of my career I have a passion for learning and place great importance on supporting, coaching and mentoring people at all levels.

Ultimately, I often feel that versus everything I’ve studied for or worked towards, my broader life experiences are the aspects that fuel this work the most.

Relaxing the energetic body is one of the easiest and quickest ways to transform, but first we must get past the ‘thinking’ head. Once we relax fully we can step into deeper levels of transformation that come with connecting the heart and gut energy.

Guided custom meditation practices sit at the heart of my work because it became evident in my research that a personal connection to meditation is key to creating a habitual mediation habit.

The Innerness technique quickly sorts and manages the busy, distracted mind. Teaching how to reach deep meditative states with ease. My formulae was designed through working with people of today's reality, especially those with demanding careers who are seeking positive change at a personal level.

On a broader business level I have access to my community innerness_ashram who support me in larger scale projects within businesses and groups.

I feel that within the buddhist teachings there is something for everyone to gain from.

The concepts of Duality and Attachment have taken me on repeating spirals in my life and therefore where I’ve had to put in the most work to grow from their learnings and from acceptance.

To modern humans everything is dual - win lose, good bad, backwards forwards etc. From an energetic perspective - everything is one. This therefore often underpins my sessions: how much personal growth and freedom lives in perceived negative situations.

Detachment is a complex Buddhist concept and one which is helpful to narrow down into simple, meaningful, unique detachment strategies for our lives in the western world. Loosely defined it is the ability to let things be how they are going to be rather than try to control (or become attached to) the outcome that you want. Sounds simple yes?…until you start digging into your desires and habits to identify what you have a healthy and unhealthy attachment to! This is why meditation is associated with minimalism and peace - because the aim is to embody the detachment principles whilst learning to balance.

Another main learning has been understanding the healing power of consciousness. By bringing awareness to an issue we start the healing journey, which is why we delve into our subconscious in meditation to gain important details that can be blocked by the everyday busy mind.

Put the effort and time in to peel away societal and cultural pressures and expectations ie the external image created and decisions made to fit in or look good in the eyes of others. This carries a very heavy energy, and working with energy and shifting heavy or unhelpful energy is really what meditation is all about.

Dedication underpins the pathway forward and the more you put in the more you will get out. Never stop learning about who you are inside -there’s always an inner you silently waiting to be heard and seen. A stronger, brighter, happier version who doesn’t seek external validation.

Mental wellness is one of the most important aspects of life yet often overlooked as people focus on their externality : image, ego and how others see them, versus the most important unseen internal forces of breath, the heart mind gut connection, the true-self. Aspects of life that are also now scientifically proven to help us live longer.

Meditation instructors, coaches and teachers who have been passed down teachings from gurus and great teachers all agree on this. Their aim is to help you understand who you really are, under the layers of societal conditioning, cultural ‘norms’ and expectations, and start living the life of the true you. This is the fastest way to truly loving yourself and letting go of emotional crutches and habits that no longer serve you.

You can start the process by connecting with your heart and gut in the peacefulness of higher consciousness practices such as a personalised guided meditation.

Modern life has given us the major challenge of time pressure, but don’t let this stop you from spending time with your true self. In the spiritual world - time is a concept that doesn’t exist. In the physical world - ‘The problem is we think we have time’ *

One of my greatest challenges, which has also provided me with profound insights for helping others, was burnout in my 30s, around the time I was leading the advertising teams at brands such as Vogue & GQ.com. Linked to unresolved childhood trauma and impostor syndrome that compounded.

Burnout that turned my high anxiety, high achiever personality into one of depression. The depression at least was the start of the positive transformation with meditation and holistic therapies, and my re-birth.

I still work in the magazine and fashion industries as a consultant. Constantly adapting in order to bring my life into peaceful balance and alignment, forgiveness of myself and others.

Burnout is avoidable if you know the signs, however like many people I work with, I did not acknowledge them. Meditation and cognitive techniques moved me through and past that period in time, and I’m here to demonstrate that these things are a conduit, albeit a very challenging one, to a whole new world.

I was able to recover and get to a high level of wellness and happiness through a natural approach, without resorting to pharmaceutical drugs. By committing to a personal meditation schedule and adopting a holistic meditative lifestyle.

My transformative journey was not just about the meditation sessions, but also involved making lifestyle changes that prioritised my health. This included removing some relationships and unhealthy career choices, among other habits that weren’t serving my healthier self.

Discovering the importance of facing emotions head-on, rather than burying them and carrying on as society often encourages. Pushing emotions away only exacerbates issues and can lead to the development of unhealthy emotional crutches. Embracing emotions and processing experiences is key to overcoming adversity and building resilience.
