2020 changed everything.

I cannot sum it up easily, but here is the truth: things were wrong. I felt wrong. I was working for the wrong person, in the wrong place, being treated the wrong way.

As the only income earner while we home-educate our children, I carried crushing responsibility. Shoulders heavy. Nowhere to turn. Stuck, trapped, and deeply unhappy.

Something had to change.

​

Trust and Surrender

​

​I had already been doing deep personal work—therapy, coaching, plant medicine ceremonies—peeling back the layers.

It all came down to two things: trust and surrender.

I was doing the work with some of the most powerful psychoactive compounds on earth, so I leaned into trust. With my wife's blessing, I ended the relationship with my boss and dropped further into surrender.

But underneath? Fear. Fear of not being good enough.

We had to sell our house because we could not make the repayments. Trust and surrender. Trust and surrender.

​

Finding FreeMind

​

Then I met Tom, the founder of FreeMind.

I told him about the cracks I had seen in the leadership world; people struggling for space, for air. He said, "That is exactly what we teach in FreeMind. Come train with me and I will show you."

And he did.

I learned how people trip themselves up. How I was tripping myself up.

And I discovered one key truth:

Life is trauma-informed. Made from our challenges, from he meaning we make of things with our young minds. 

Everyone's life is beautifully, often painfully, shaped by the trauma they have experienced, whether they have ignored it or taken ownership of it.

Most of us measure our self-worth by how we were treated. But that simply is not true.

Through FreeMind training, I dug into my inner world. I answered questions about my fear and hurt. I picked up my little inner children who needed love and support.

Then everything clicked into place. Now, as a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist, I'm able to help so many people in so many powerful ways.
