Hello. If you’ve found your way here, there’s a chance you’re trying to navigate some of the same things I’ve had to. 

At 31, after years as a commodity trader chasing the version of success I thought I wanted - money, status, adrenaline, ego - I crashed. I was burnt out, broke and back living with my parents. It was brutal, but it became the beginning of a very different life.

I spent the next decade trying to understand what actually changes a person. Not one-dimensional self-help, but the whole picture: mental, emotional, physical, strategic and spiritual.

And when I say spiritual, I don’t mean religion or blind belief. I mean consciousness. Connectedness. Energy. The heart and soul as well as the mind. That strange, sacred, mystical dimension of being alive that we can experience but still can’t fully explain. Becoming more awake to yourself, to other people and to life itself.

I came to all of this as a fairly sceptical Brit. I’ve learnt through lived experience, books, retreats, meditation, Buddhist teachers, the Chopra Center, Transcendental Meditation and thinkers and teachers ranging from Krishnamurti and Naval Ravikant to Joe Dispenza, Bruce Lipton and Sadhguru. I’ve sat through the cringey seminars, paid the gurus, tried the practices - and kept what genuinely changed my life.

That journey eventually became The 7 Steps, my own holistic framework for creating real change from the inside out. My coaching is grounded in the Co-Active method, but much of the work comes from more than a decade of research, experimentation and lived experience.

I wrote It’s Not Just Mumbo Jumbo to make these ideas accessible to anyone - particularly people who, like me, might once have rolled their eyes at them.

Today I work with ambitious people who may be successful on paper but know something isn’t quite right: burnt out, stuck at a crossroads, disconnected from themselves, or simply aware that there is more in them.

The work has empathy and heart, but also strength, responsibility and ambition. Get clear. Wake up. Reconnect with what matters. Then go after what you’re capable of.

I live in Cape Town with my wife Nicole and our two children, Clara and Cruz.
