Forged by Hand. Shaped by Sound. Shared in Ceremony.

---

My journey into spirituality, sound, and connection with nature began in 2002 while living for three months in a traditional Fijian village. During this time, I became an honorary member of the community through playing rugby and working alongside local villagers. Immersed in daily village life, I learned the deep relationship the Fijian people have with the land and sea—sources of food, medicine, and spiritual wellbeing. I was also introduced to the fundamentals of natural sound and rhythm, often taking part in traditional kava ceremonies with village elders.

From Fiji, my travels led me to New Zealand, where I lived in the bush near Mount Taranaki with Māori communities. Ceremonies and storytelling were held outdoors, gathered around the fire, accompanied by drums, log instruments, and powerful vocal harmonies. These experiences strengthened my understanding of sound, community, and the natural world.

Australia brought a profound shift. Living in the Outback and by the sea, often with no shelter beyond the stars, I experienced nature in its rawest form. Learning from Aboriginal culture—one of the world’s oldest living traditions—deepened my respect for the land, ancestry, and spiritual continuity. “Take only memories, leave only footprints” became a guiding principle that continues to shape my life.

On my return journey to the UK, I spent time in Indonesia and Bali, where yoga, nourishing food, and living in balance with nature were simply part of everyday life. After more than two years abroad, returning to the UK construction industry was a culture shock, yet my connection to nature and sound continued to grow.

My formal yoga training in Sri Lanka marked a turning point, opening my mind, body, and spirit to a new way of being. Alongside my yoga practice, I trained in gong and sound therapy with respected teachers in the UK and overseas, integrating ancient traditions with modern wellbeing practices.

Today, I work alongside my partner delivering training, gong baths, and sound therapy sessions. I continue to spend time outdoors through wild camping and cooking, both for my own enjoyment and with others. My workshop often resonates with the sounds of metalwork and woodwork, grounded, honest crafts that reflect connection, rhythm, and presence.

Through sound, vibration, and shared experience, my intention is to create spaces of balance, reconnection, and joy, supporting others in reconnecting with themselves, each other, and the natural world.
