Whilst in the Middle East, I embarked on a journey of deep self discovery and participated in several workshops covering Usui Reiki, creative expressions art, Brennan Healing, The Journey, Breathwork and Holotropic Breathwork. Wanting to delve deeper into the holistic process, I trained as a Usui Reiki master, a practitioner of Jim Morningstar’s Breathwork, and a creative expressions art facilitator. Diving into these holistic therapies, helped me became a more grounded and balanced person.

In Bahrain, having rekindled my childhood love for horses, I often practiced Reiki and Breathwork techniques around my horses. This helped me to connect with my horses on a much deeper, soul level and my riding experiences became much more fulfilling and pleasurable. I also found that my horses were calmer and more trusting of their environment. In 2013, whilst attending a series of horse riding workshops held by the rider biomechanics coach, Mary Wanless, I was introduced to diaphragmatic breathing, which had a profound affect on me, both physically and psychologically. As holistic therapies have had such a positive affect on my life, it’s only inevitable that I intertwine these skills with my passion for designing luxurious residential interiors.
