The first was a low back injury at school that led me to an osteopath. It was my introduction to Applied Kinesiology — and something about it fascinated me deeply. The idea that the body holds intelligence that bypasses the conscious, rational mind felt genuinely revelatory. Getting better was almost secondary. What stayed with me was the question: how does the body actually work?
After a first degree in Philosophy, I found myself drawn to yoga and meditation. Over time, a regular practice changed something fundamental in how I made decisions — I began to trust what I felt rather than only what I could reason. It also brought me face to face with things I’d been avoiding: patterns in my relationships, areas where I was struggling, old wounds that needed attention. That process of honest self-inquiry became as important to me as any academic study.
