Who am I, and why should you come and engage, study or work with me?
A client walked into my studio recently and said "Wow!, I did not know that you were so Spiritually focused Adrian - look at all of these wonderful crystals and pieces of art - that is not reflected on your website - and I am so pleased that this is what I see here in your studio".

This statement got me thinking - and I have now updated my website slightly to reflect this truth about me and my work and life. I want to be open and clear that I am a 'Life Mastery Expert' with lots of skills, experiences, knowledge, wisdom and insights in both the personal and spiritual development fields, which I have been working with now for over 25 years. Spirituality is a large aspect of my everyday life.

Under the title of 'Life Mastery Expert', I offer my services as a Teacher, Writer and Speaker, Coach, Mentor, Facilitator and a Psychophonetics Psychotherapist and Counsellor (with an Advanced Diploma). I offer my work direct in my studio, via Zoom, Skype or phone, with workshops and webinars and with my online 'Where Am "I' Right Now? and 'Life Mastery' programs.

I have an Australian accredited Certificate 4 in Work Place Assessment and Training and have applied many hundreds of hours of study and training in personal, professional and spiritual development. These include: Public Speaking, Personal Meditation and Group Meditation Training, Full Body Massage, Conscious and Effective Communication, Eco-Psychology, Community Leadership Training and The Art of Playing the Didgeridoo.


I am also the Founder and Director of a not-for-profit, charitable organisation called The Blue Wren Foundation. We deliver empowering Relationship Education programs to men, as well as offering coaching and counselling to individuals (men and women) and couples. You can see more on The Blue Wren Foundation website.

My family
I'm 55 years young and live in Sydney, Australia with my beautiful wife Arleen. We have a blended family of 6 children (30-18 years old). I also have 4 cute grand-daughters (7, 5 and 4 and one that is very recent) and 2 God-daughters (18 and 15). We also live with my Mother-In-Law, Eileen - lovingly called 'Gran' by all who visit our home and share her wonderful cooking.

My spiritual path
For the past 25 years, I have had a deep interest in the work of Rudolf Steiner and what he termed - 'Anthroposophy'; which simply means - The Study of Man (People). It is, with this, and with many other experiences, that I base my core work to help and support people on their own journey. On this chosen path I am committed to expanding myself physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually so that I can be a more conscious and present person and offer my services more thoroughly.


A bit of my history - although there is much more to tell and share ...
As a young child I lived in a small village in the Cotswold's in England where playing and exploring in nature was what I loved to do. It was here that I gained my first 'spiritual' experiences and insights. During part of my teen years I expressed myself as a wild Punk Rocker and had a wild ride with drugs and alcohol for a few years. I then took a big step and traveled overseas from the UK into Europe at the age of 19 and began to change and expand my outlook on life as I ventured into other more positive, interesting and fulfilling journeys of self-discovery and empowerment. I arrived in Tasmania, Australia at the age of 24 from almost four years of living in West Berlin - and what a contrast that was!

I have lived and worked in Europe, Africa and Australia and worked with thousands of people from all walks of life; including: people living on the streets, in drug rehabilitation centres, in rural villages and farms, in big and small businesses and corporations, with children and staff in schools and at a village community orphanage called Botshabelo.


My passions
One of my passions is to write. I write articles for newspapers and magazines, have published two books and have been a co-author in two more and have several more in the pipe-line. I am currently writing a novel! You can see my books in the 'Shop'.

Travel is also one of my big passions. I have lived and traveled in Europe, Australia and like to visit South Africa, Namibia and Botswana every couple of years. I do this by taking a small group of people with me on a 21 day Spirit of Africa Journey.

I also love to play the didgeridoo, bush walk, body surf in the ocean waves, paint, sculpt and potter about in my shed and sleep in on the weekends when I get a chance to do so! All in all, I love to live life to the full and have a great time ...

You can read some more about me and my work and passion in my Where Am 'I' Right Now? book.
