I am a Cornish adventurer, author, speaker, and coach. I have spent twenty years in education: teaching, leading, and consulting globally, helping raise aspirations and encouraging life-long learning for all.  

I’m a passionate advocate of the belief that our broken bits are actually superpowers. Recently diagnosed with ADHD, I’ve also struggled for fifteen years with debilitating chronic pain. In 2019, after considerable physical rehabilitation, I walked the Appalachian Trail in the USA, later writing a bestselling book about the experience called Unlost.  

I’m an advocate for living a life that’s courageous and true to oneself, running popular online courses and residential retreats in Cornwall as well as giving talks and workshops all over the world. I encourage people to dig into their creativity, build resilience, and grow in confidence.
