Until a few years ago, the major themes in my life journey were music, science, engineering and teaching.

Up until 2018, if you had asked me what I did, I would have replied, "I'm a professional jazz musician and a private science and maths tutor". Then my scientific curiosity in the nature of our world changed everything...

I became interested in the human biofield, an electromagnetic region which exists around all living beings. This opened my mind to the possibility that we are actually much more complex and amazing than our current science would have us believe.

A lucid dream is when you realise that you are dreaming, while still in the dream. This means that you can direct the dream consciously and interact with anything and anyone in the dream. And it can be hyper realistic. The amazing thing is, that once you become 'lucid' in a dream, absolutely anything is possible. The only limit is your imagination.

If you've seen the film 'Inception' then you'll know what I'm talking about, and yes, you can indeed grow cities, fly, freeze time and float in antigravity. However, there's much, much more you can do, learn, be and even heal in the lucid dream state.

Through my interest in lucid dreaming, I discovered Michael Sheridan. Michael is a remarkable dream interpreter originally from Ireland who now runs the Aisling School of Dream Interpretation in Seattle, USA.

Suddenly my whole notion of reality was turned upside-down. Here was someone with a no-nonsense scientific background explaining that a dream was in fact a communication from something called our 'Higher Self' to our 'Soul' using a universal language of symbols as metaphors. And down the rabbit hole I went...

Michael explained that once you strip out the day-to-day experiences that often provide the 'backdrop' to our dreams, then the rest of the dream is usually healing and guidance mixed in with our usually negative subconscious reaction to the subject matter.

My scientific approach to life now had to make room for this exciting new reality and I started to learn all that I could about dreams. I was hooked.

Through analysing my own dreams, I learnt that a major part of my life purpose is to be a counsellor and healer - to help people with an open and compassionate heart so they can find their way forward in life. My dreams kept on reminding me about this part of my life plan, and so in 2021 I enrolled with the Holistic Healing College in London to study a diploma in Spiritual Counselling.

As well as building on dream interpretation, the course enabled me to develop skills in several holistic counselling techniques and therapies including hypnotherapy, energy healing, mindfulness and energy psychology. I have used these skills to change my own life and I now use them to help people heal, overcome life's challenges and find their life purpose.
