About Stephen
Helping You Heal and Transform
From the moment a school teacher read the book Jonathan Livingston Seagull in assembly, Stephen became passionately interested in meditation and the meaning of life. His search led him to India, Switzerland, Jerusalem, Europe and America, and to various different teachers from different spiritual traditions including Buddhist, Christian, Hindu and Sufi. Experiencing that he had a contemplative vocation, Stephen practised meditation and yoga for many years leading to awakening experiences, and also had a profound psychological healing through Reiki. He became interested in Holistic Therapies such as Reflexology and Massage as a way to reach out to people and share some of the wonderful peace and elevation he had experienced on his journey. He discovered that the same feeling he experienced in meditation was transmitted in Holistic Therapies. This feeling in India is called "Prana" and in China "Ki" meaning the universal life force. In the Western traditions we use the word Spirit or Holy Spirit. This subtle vitality is a great source of harmony, health and happiness and it energises Stephen's work.
​
Through his experience teaching at college and working with health professionals, Stephen honed his massage skills over many years, developing a particular skill for releasing muscle tissue using a careful soft, then strong, then soft method.
​
With several decades experience teaching yoga, Stephen developed his work by publishing books on meditation and yoga, distilling his all inclusive message of spiritual awakening, health and wellbeing.
​
Stephen says he is motivated by caring, compassion, and creativity, helping clients and students to heal and transform.
