Wounded Healer, Therapist, and Teacher

meet james

My journey to becoming a therapist and teacher began with a challenging period in my early twenties. For nearly three years, I faced significant health struggles. It was a difficult time, but from it, I discovered my vocation – or perhaps, it discovered me.

The very things that healed me became the foundation of my work. I began to study psychotherapy, psychosynthesis, Anatomy, Reflexology regression, and nutrition. I became a certified adult education teacher, trained in the Australian Bowen Technique, and qualified as an international yoga teacher. Each step deepened my understanding of the intricate connection between mind, body, and spirit.

“We don’t think ourselves out of the problem, but start with the wisdom of the body to relax, and then change the mind. From Body up.

Whatever your problem, I can assure you that you already have the answer within you. You just may not know how to find it, and it is my job to help you to do so.”

In 2004, I followed my heart to Andalucia, Spain, drawn by its vibrant culture, climate, and inspiring landscapes. Here, I established a thriving practice, welcoming private clients and leading international yoga/meditation retreats with returning clients from as far as Australia, Africa, and the USA.

Driven by a deep curiosity, I expanded my skills with hypnotherapy and other various therapeutic techniques, enabling me to synthesize personalized treatments.

Now, with over 30 years of experience, I've temporarily refocused (to care for elderly parents) from traveling to teach retreats abroad - to doing more private sessions (both in-person and online) . I continue to welcome clients seeking relief or personal growth, whether they live here, travel for specialized care, or prefer online sessions from the comfort of their own homes.

Intuition, Energy, and the Heart's Bridge

“From my years of experience, I know my greatest gift is my intuition, which I use in my work and life. It's our sixth sense, worth acknowledging. Once a perceived weakness, I now celebrate my high sensitivity as a strength.”

Essentially, we are fields of energy. Blocked by old emotions, traumas, or negative thinking, we develop patterns causing pain and discomfort. I help disrupt these, allowing energy to flow and heal.

I love my work and helping people live more fully. I'm constantly inspired by the human capacity for healing.

I always use the heart as a bridge between mind and body, because apart from symbolically being associated with love, it is the most powerful source of electromagnetic energy in the human body. The magnetic field produced by the heart is far greater than that of the brain; imagine that kind of expansion!
