The Short Story

Born in Scotland in 1976, I moved to London at age 18 to pursue a career in classical music. After many successful years studying and performing professionally, I was drawn to embark on a new adventure and in 2003 I moved to Japan.

In Japan, I gravitated away from music and started on the Spiritual path, where, in order to help deal with depression and excessive drinking, which I had been struggling with off and on for years prior, I practised Zen meditation and Japanese archery. I also informally studied Buddhism, Shintoism, and Taoism, all the while teaching English in schools and corporations to keep food on the table.

In 2021, my Japanese adventure naturally drew to a close and I returned to my native Scotland to start a new chapter as a Nondual Guide and Personal Coach, supporting others with their own mental, emotional, addiction, spiritual, and well-being issues.
