Wanting to embark on a worthwhile career I qualified as a staff nurse in Bristol, where I worked in a variety of acute surgical and medical wards within various hospitals across Bristol, Wiltshire, and Gloucestershire.

However, because of the changes of the structure of the NHS I felt I wanted to pursue a slightly different career that would present different challenges and responsibilities, which is why I read BSc (Hons) Midwifery at the University of the West of England to become one of the few male midwives in the United Kingdom, and was awarded with an 'outstanding achievement in academia and practice' honours.

As a Midwife I developed the art of one-to-one care for women during pregnancy and childbirth. Quickly, it became obvious to me that the power of the mind during those momentous occasions can play an essential part of women maintaining control throughout.

Since then I have qualified as a Master NLP Practitioner and NLP Trainer.. By using these techniques, along with Time Line Therapy™ and Hypnotherapy, I work with Jai to bring control back to women during pregnancy and childbirth.

I began my career as a staff nurse at a busy city hospital in the heart of Bristol. I have worked in several different fields since then, some nursing related, some more creative, including a role as a motion graphic designer.

My experiences working with patients began a lifelong interest in health in its broadest sense. I have always been curious about why some people get certain diseases and some people do not. Why is it that two people with very similar conditions can react to their illnesses in such different ways? A patient's attitude to their illness seems to have a huge affect on it. Having observed this first hand, I have always been fascinated by the connection between body and mind.

NLP, Time Line Therapy TM and Hypnotherapy are techniques which facilitate communication between the body, which is co-ordinated by the unconscious mind and what we think of as the mind, our conscious awareness. By bringing the two into greater harmony we can become happier, more relaxed and at ease with ourselves, we are better able to reach our goals in life and make healthier choices.

It is for this reason that I became a Master NLP practitioner, and a hypnotherapist. I believe that by joyfully taking control and responsibility for our own destiny, we can reach our true potential both mentally and physically.

I became a HypnoBirthing® practitioner because I believe that HypnoBirthing® is a truly amazing development of hypnotherapy which enables women and their partners to experience birth as it was meant to be experienced, as a loving, calm and truly magical start to a new life.

I was present at my sisters birth at home, nearly 17 years ago, it was not a HypnoBirth® but I became aware then that childbirth can be calm and drug free and that being present at the start of a new life is one of the most amazing experiences we as human beings can witness (in fact words like "amazing" and "magical" really don't do it justice)
