The Journey That Brought Me Here
Years ago, after a head injury ended my military career, hypnotherapy turned my life around. It helped me ditch medication, heal old wounds, and imagine a new path.
I’ve since built a business, launched a charity, and even reached Everest Base Camp. But most importantly—I discovered my purpose:
To help others realise that with the right mindset, anything is possible.
