I have always been fascinated by the connection between stories and real-life journeys, as one invariably informs the other. I have always been a storyteller - creating my own life through the power of my words. Now I want to help you narrate your own life so you understand how you shape it and why you experience it the way you do.

​​

I have always had a keen interest in anthropology and psychology - at university, I minored in social psychology and later worked at the British Museum and the Museum of Mankind, and for a brief period, I was secretary to the Society of Psychical Research. Inevitably, this led to a keen interest in the esoteric side of life, and I soon began designing my own life-journey cards as an alternative to the tarot.

 

My late twenties up until my early forties were quite wild, and I drank deep from life, meeting all sorts of people from different backgrounds and nationalities- collecting and writing stories and discovering what made different people tick. It was during this period that I became deeply interested in Chinese philosophy and that extraordinary oracle - the I Ching, which is one of the best guides to self-development I know of.

​

During this time, I was also pursuing a career in film and theatre, and I attended many workshops on the nature of story and its relationship to a universal need to make sense of our lives. This led me to the great psychotherapist Carl Jung, who wrote about a universal wellspring of shared symbolism that we can all tap into, no matter who we are. 

​

Jung writes a lot about what we might wrongly term 'magic' by which I mean those strange, mysterious episodes in life, the signs and meaningful coincidences which are still poorly understood.  His writings on astrology convinced me that this too was something I needed to study, and so I enrolled for a year with the London-based Faculty of Astrology, which led me up to the present day.
