My approach

A brilliant mind deserves a full life.

My work helps people immersed in technology reconnect with physical wellbeing, spiritual grounding and human connection.

Start a Conversation
  • Physical wellbeing
  • Spiritual grounding
  • Connection & joy

A bridge back to the rest of life.

The engineers I work with live in what I call intellectual tunnel vision: sustained concentration, long days, little else. I help them build a bridge from that world of high intellect back to spirituality, physical health, joy, music and art.

What we make room for

Physical wellbeing

Time for movement, rest, and life beyond the desk.

Spiritual grounding

Reflection, purpose, and a connection to what matters.

Friends laughing together while one plays guitar.

Connection & joy

Music, art, kindness, and relationships that enrich everyday life.

An exercise from my work

Start with a song.
Take it into the world.

In one exercise with a small group of engineers, I paired music with an invitation to practise kindness.

  1. 01

    Listen

    Music opens a conversation about joy and connection.

  2. 02

    Reach out

    Step away from the screen. Take a pen and paper, and find opportunities to make ten people happy through simple acts of kindness.

  3. 03

    Reflect

    Come back together to share what happened and what you noticed.

Kindness becomes meaningful when we practise it.

Engineering experience. Human perspective.

An approach shaped by work, and by life.

My engineering background helps me understand demanding technical work. My life experience, and what it has taught me about kindness, caring and patience, gives me a practical and reliable method to share.
