As a teenager I was a reasonable athlete and was interested in optimum athletic performance. I played baseball for Australia in U18’s and played league football (AFL) for South Adelaide. At this time I also trained to be a physical education teacher.
I read many books on peak performance and behaviour change including Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz. This was the beginning of my journey into learning more about how the brain processes information and the change that this produces in the body.
In 1987 I further pursued my interest in optimum performance and completed a Bachelor of Science at the University of Adelaide and then a Master of Chiropractic degree at Macquarie University in Sydney. In 1993 I accepted a job offer to work as a chiropractor in Belfast, Northern Ireland during ‘The Troubles’. During this time I certainly got to experience different examples of human behaviour, some of it very extreme. Meanwhile Chiropractic services were in great demand and my wife Leanne and I began building a small group of clinics throughout the provence.
In 1999 I decided to further study the field of personal behaviour and personal development and I enrolled in the NLP practitioner course with Paul Mckenna in London. On the Paul Mckenna website it also listed a 3 day Personal Enhancement Workshop with Dr Richard Bandler and this was the beginning of a whole new journey. A combination of disbelief, deep relaxation and overwhelming full body experiences opened up a whole new world of learning and opportunity for me.
The power of these experiences were far superior to anything else I’d studied or experienced before and my curiosity to learn these skills myself grew immediately. In the past 8 years I’ve trained with Dr Bandler on fifty to sixty trainings all over the world. In 2002 I became his apprentice, which enabled me to access the most advanced trainings, a great and highly valued experience.
I used these skills to go on and build one of the largest chiropractic groups in Europe and the company is continuing to grow as we provide the best possible care, service and healing. It also allowed me to run workshops for Chiropractors and patients seeking to improve their lives.
