A Bit of Background
My career began as professional breakdancer, touring with a renowned UK company for several years before I transitioned in to the sciences as a specialist aircraft engineer. I was always learning and interested in self-development, so I continued to train and became qualified as a fitness professional. I paired this with advanced coaching qualification so I can use a blended approach, as well as help people independently in either space if they want to work on themselves physically, or mentally.
​
Who I Am, What I Value
I've had a dynamic career, which has developed a lot of nuance to my approach and in my perspective. I noticed that regardless of what I was doing and who I was doing it with, there was a demand for compassionate motivation and the levity of humour. We all want to be optimal, but we don't always know how to get there and we're not always that encouraging of ourselves as we're trying to find the way. I don't think I have all the answers, but I don't think I'm supposed to. What I do know, is that I'm an excellent listener, I care about people, and I relate to the stories I'm often told about their struggles. I bring something unique to what I do, because I stay very connected to why I do it.

"His intuitive reasoning is exceptional, he can very easily discern from what he hears, to what is actually happening - and why there's a dissonance. He brings a lot of lightness to his sincerity and even though I think his puns are as impressively quick as they are immediately terrible, he's more often than not the voice behind the joke that broke the tension. He's a real asset to our team, we're snagging all the good ones." - Li Laurent, Founder.
