How did your childhood experiences shape your views on natural health therapies?
My first memories are of sunny days, and fields of daffodils, tulips and crocuses. I grew up on a flower nursery listening to bees buzzing around the flowers. The main road was a long way away and there was no traffic to be heard. I lived in a prefab with a railway cutting behind it where steam trains still ran. I grew up in largely natural surroundings undisturbed by the hustle and bustle of everyday life to which most are subjected.
My birth mother in contrast was a psychiatric nurse who worked in what used to be called an asylum in the 1960’s. On several occasions when I went to see where she worked, I would see people in a catatonic state, talking to themselves, or screaming. Those who screamed were further medicated to ‘calm them down’ or ‘keep them quiet’. She was a firm believer in ‘taking the medicine’.
What inspired you to pursue natural health therapies despite facing significant challenges in your life?
For many years I just kept taking whatever medication I was prescribed without question. It started with anti-depressants at the age of 15, going on to painkillers, and pills for a prostate issue. I was told I would have to take these forever. At. My lowest point I was taking 24 pills a day. I did not realise that these had a detrimental effect on my stomach and digestion. They upset my microbiome to such an extent that I had to take further pills for an increasingly poorly functioning gut, and that these also had an adverse effect.
Nothing seemed to help, in fact, I was becoming sicker. A coach I had at the time advised me to see a kinesiologist. This is someone who practises ‘muscle-testing’ to determine exactly what my body did and didn’t need. He concluded that my body did not like any of the drugs and advised me to give them up. (DO NOT DO THIS WITHOUT MEDICAL ADVICE)
I shook and sweated for 2 months before getting some colonic irrigation to wash the years of medication out of my system. I was then introduced to Bioresonance which fixed my back and prostate issue.
How did your upbringing influence your educational journey and eventual career path?
Growing up witnessing my parents’ unhappy marriage turned me into a carer and listener from an early age. At the age of 10, my best friend’s mother told me that she had an affair and that is why they were moving away. This was the 1960’s and it seemed to my young mind to be happening a lot as attitudes towards marriage and divorce changed. This led to a curiosity as to why people behaved the way they did, and eventually to doing a degree in Psychology after leaving school.
My initial thoughts were of entering personnel management, before becoming fascinated by advertising and market research. Unable to obtain employment in those areas I looked at other options. I had specialised in clinical and social psychology, and ironically applied to become a rep in pharmaceutical sales, and then confectionery. At the time I recall it was for the bumper salaries they paid, and a prestigious new car, rather than a particular love for either area. I was clearly even then not a good fit for these industries.
After a period of unemployment and homelessness, I got a job in the benefit office where I ‘signed on’, and eventually a job in local authority housing. I found I had a talent for this and quickly became a Director of Housing. After 7 years a change in political administration led to a period as a Housing Consultant and fledgling property investor
What pivotal moment led you to prioritize natural therapies over conventional medication?
This started one day when I ended up on the floor screaming in agony and unable to urinate. I then had a biopsy arranged to check for prostate cancer. It was also around this time that I had discovered Bioresonance. I went to the Bioresonance Practitioner and explained all my ailments. He gave me 3 sessions before my first biopsy. The Consultant told me I needed to be monitored as there was no definitive outcome, and that I was to return in a few weeks for a further biopsy. After that one, the Consultant told me the good news, which was that I did not have cancer and that he was discharging me.
Delighted and relieved, I went back to the Bioresonance Practitioner and asked him if he could fix my arthritis, sciatica and slipped disc. (I had been told that I would have to have my back sliced open and my vertebrae fused.) After a few sessions the pain went, I was able to go back to the gym, and I lost 2 stone. By now I was off all the pills and ecstatic.
At this point I told him I never wanted to go back on those pills, and asked him to firstly, get me a Bioresonance device, and secondly, to teach me everything he knew.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
During covid, I was in the shower when a thought came to me. Those suffering covid had respiratory problems. What they needed was oxygen! I got out of the shower, researched oxygen chambers, sourced a supplier and went to see them. After trying one out, I understood more fully the benefits. It reduced inflammation which is behind many chronic illnesses. These include:
- Arthritis
- Brain injuries
- Alzheimer’s
- Sports injuries
- Post operative surgery – reduced scarring
- Healthy ageing: reduced lines and wrinkles.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, known as HBOT is used by sports people such as Ronaldo, to stay at the top of their game. It is also used by celebrities such as the Kardashians to maintain their youthful looks.
Allied to this are breathing and other lifestyle hacks to reduce stress.
Red Light Therapy
I then saw a large spherical contraption on the other side of the room and asked what it was. I was informed it was a Red-Light Bed which delivered blue, near infra-red-, and red-light waves to the body. These helped:
- Relieve skin issues such as psoriasis and acne
- Alleviate aches and pains in the muscles and joints
- Mitochondria which help the body create energy.
- Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) as it replicates the mood boosting effects of the sun.
We ended up getting both an HBOT Chamber, and a Red-Light Bed to go with our 2 Bioresonance devices, and the clinic was born.
What role did your wife, Anoma, play in your journey towards natural health and recovery?
The first thing she did was change my diet, and make me eat healthily, including increasing my intake of vegetables. She also coped with and supported our transition from being employees to starting our own business, and significant changes in me from the person I used to be.

How do you plan to democratize holistic health and educate people on good health habits?
In addition to Total Body Health, I am involved in a partnership, Elixir Health which also aims to democratise holistic health by educating people on good health habits, diet and lifestyle. I advocate the combining of traditional western (allopathic) medicine with holistic health to deliver the best outcomes. This involves always starting with gentle synergistic therapies before moving along the continuum towards allopathic intervention when required.
I believe strongly in the mind/body connection and bring together knowledge and qualifications gained in Psychology, Holistic Health, ‘lived experience’, and the modalities mentioned above. We will also be adding others such as: Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), Homeopathy, and the new area of Astro-Medicine combined with Functional Medicine. Watch this space!
What message do you convey through your life journey from hardship to healing?
‘My message is in my mess’.
Never give up, you never know what is just around the corner when you remain open to possibilities and have the right intentions.
PRIORITISE:
- Sleep
- Hydration
- Exercise
- Diet
- Stress reduction
- Purpose, Positive People and Influences
