“Since I was little I’ve always been very sensitive and empathetic. If anyone around me felt anxious or angry it would affect me greatly and I often got confused as to whether I was feeling my own feelings or others. I am from a family where we didn’t really talk about feelings and I had a very difficult relationship with my mum so I often felt like I was on my own. I started using drugs and alcohol to block everything out. I studied philosophy, psychology and sociology in an attempt to try to understand myself better before training to become a college lecturer. At the height of my addictions, I was taking a ridiculous amount of drink and handfuls of valium. At this point, I was also working and studying full time, lecturing in a college and when the mania kicked in. During this period, I was actually teaching students about anxiety and depression while going through a nervous breakdown. In the end, it all went downhill very quickly, in about two weeks I lost my mind and everything fell apart. I eventually reached a point when I knew I had to turn my life around, I had to make changes in my life take responsibility for my actions. I’ve always had a strong will so I made a conscious decision to come off drink and drugs. I slowly took my own power back. I started doing yoga and meditation and I would fill my day up with healthy habits. Around this time, I started to go through a spiritual awakening. Years later I received a calling to drink the medicinal plant Ayahuasca. I received four signs in a week so I decided to follow this call and move to South America. I travelled to Peru and spent two months living with a shaman before travelling through Peru and Colombia working with various Shaman’s. I now work as an Ayahuasca coach supporting people through their Ayahuasca experiences. I can’t believe how my life has turned around. It’s been a long and hard journey for me but I’m now in the position to use all my experiences and my transformation to support others.”
