Finding a consistent sense of ease, purpose, and fulfilment might seem elusive, but I’ve discovered a path that allows me to embrace it every day. I’m eager to share this journey with you in the hopes that it might inspire your own.

For over fifty years, my life has been deeply enriched by three core elements: meditation, movement and culture. These practices have transformed every aspect of my life from my academic and athletic pursuits to my professional and personal experiences and have served as my compass through the ups and downs of life.

I was introduced to meditation as a teenager and it has provided me with invaluable techniques and insights that have guided me ever since. This practice has equipped me with the tranquility and independence needed to pursue my interests with clarity, free from the pressures of conformity.

Meditation opened my eyes to a world full of opportunities and diverse experiences. It fuelled my passion for art history and supported a successful rowing career during my school and university years, making them particularly enriching. By practicing awareness and presence, I found joy in every moment and cultivated a mindset of gratitude.

The foundation meditation provided me as a young teenager has significantly eased my professional journey. It enabled me to thrive in a high-paced role at a major international auction house, where I worked as a director, auctioneer and specialist. Managing demanding workloads and nurturing global client relationships, I found the perfect blend of detailed management and market development exciting and rewarding.

Culture has always been a wellspring of inspiration for me, bringing joy and enrichment daily. Art appreciation has become a source of nourishment, offering balance and enhancing my personal and professional life. Learning to pause, reflect, and truly perceive art’s nuances has brought equilibrium to my bustling career.

Taking mindful walks through both urban landscapes and nature has been the perfect counterbalance. Walking with purpose and awareness keeps me physically fit and mentally rejuvenated. Observing the ever-changing beauty of nature’s shapes, textures and colours has been a continual source of joy and a reminder of life's inherent beauty.

These daily moments of connection - with the world and with myself - offer opportunities for mental reset, fuelled by the synergy of meditation, walking and culture. This powerful combination has granted me insights, balance and fulfilment, adding richness and depth to everyday experiences.

If the idea of crafting your own path to ease, purpose and fulfilment resonates with you, I would be delighted to connect and explore this journey together.
