Story

"I knew from a very early age that I longed to be a pilgrim. With a first glimpse of the truth aged 17, I set out to find my feet a year later, but naturally, the pathway I found was far more tortuous and difficult than I expected. Years and years of feeling utterly lost.

My first step into movement as a practice was Osho’s ‘Dynamic Meditation’, but it was Gabrielle Roth’s work, the 5Rhythms, that grabbed me by both feet a few years later. Gabrielle was a major life-teacher for me. I was profoundly in love, and in awe, and utterly committed to her work. I never thought I’d leave.

Then in 2016, I caught a glimpse of the process of change, growth, and evolution in the most unlikely of places — a remarkable mathematical equation. By some wild grace I found the core vision for ZeroOne via a lesson at school that I never forgot along with a passion for altered states of consciousness and understanding this reality we live in. I bring a deep commitment to the synthesis of radical awakening and artistic expression through movement practice, and a devotion to embodied experience as a 24/7 discipline. I have learnt the hard way that movement alone is not enough; we need to speak the truth in words too. So be it. "

I have come back home and I realize how deeply i was touched by this workshop. Being allowed to explore more freely than ever before some of mine desowned parts has truly moved something within me. A very honest and intimate experience.

Your work has taught me to be credible when I communicate, and enabled me to successfully influence those around me. I have lost my fear of being emotionally visible and gained the courage to reveal my integrity and passion in the work place.

Coaching

I rarely encounter people who I feel can truly hold space for me, with whom my nervous system feels enough trust to truly relax. When I found myself in tears within a few moments of our first session, I knew I was in solid hands.
