ABOUT ED

For nearly three decades, I have dedicated my life to understanding human performance, resilience, movement, and personal development. 

My journey began through martial arts, where years of training, competition, and coaching led to earning two 5th Dan Black Belts and becoming a seven-time World Kickboxing Champion. Along the way, I had the privilege of coaching athletes at the highest level, including working with the Great Britain Kickboxing Team, and continue to teach seminars and workshops throughout England on martial arts, performance, coaching, and personal growth.

While physical training provided a foundation, my work gradually expanded into understanding the deeper emotional and psychological factors that influence how we think, feel, move, and relate to the world around us. 

This led me to study movement under internationally respected movement educator Ido Portal, exploring the relationship between physical capability, awareness, adaptability, and how it all this relates to being human.

My interest in the human condition also drew me toward the fields of trauma, attachment, and emotional wellbeing. After studying under complex trauma specialist Tim Fletcher and pioneering his LIFT programme in the UK, I began exploring how early experiences shape our beliefs, behaviours, relationships, and sense of self. This led to delivering talks, workshops, and educational presentations on trauma recovery and emotional health for organisations including the BBC, Soho House, and The Salvation Army. Through this work, I have shared practical insights into trauma, shame, attachment, resilience, and the pathways available for healing and growth.

Alongside my coaching and teaching work, I am the author of the book Shame on Them, a framework designed to help people better understand the impact of shame, trauma, conditioning, and life experiences while providing practical tools for healing, self-awareness, and recovery. 

Throughout my career, one of the most rewarding aspects of my work has been mentoring young people. Whether through martial arts, movement, education, or personal development, I have spent many years helping individuals build confidence, resilience, self-belief, and a stronger sense of identity.

Today, my work brings together everything I have learned from sport, coaching, movement, psychology, trauma education, and lived experience. My aim is simple: to help people understand themselves more clearly, reclaim lost parts of who they are, and move forward with greater freedom—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Beyond my professional work, I remain a lifelong student of learning, movement, and creativity. Whether through martial arts, kitesurfing, snowboarding, motorcycling, movement practice, or playing the guitar, I am continually drawn towards activities that develop awareness, adaptability, and self-expression. Each offers a different lens through which to understand challenge, growth, discipline, and the human experience. For me, these pursuits are not separate interests but different paths leading towards the same goal: continued learning and a deeper understanding of myself and the world around me.
