BIO

I am a transformational coach specialising in working with men who feel stuck in life. I also help men overcome and heal from trauma, boarding school issues, anxiety, depression and live a happier and more fulfilled life. I was originally trained in International Business at universities in France and London. I then worked for several Fortune 500 companies in Paris and London. In 1997, while in London, I started on an internal journey and started to study meditation and different self-healing paradigms.

In 2000, I suffered burnout through a combination of my father passing, and leaving my long-term relationship. I eventually left London to work in Africa helping volunteers.

Several years later I found myself living in a Buddhist monastery where I took Novice robes and stayed for over 3 years. My years in the monastery were extremely intense – I had a breakdown, and did intense Jungian analysis - healing boarding school trauma and growing up with an alcoholic. I also had Chronic Fatigue during this time.

After leaving the monastery in 2005 I started to study with different teachers in differing areas: shamanism, tantra, EFT, NLP, Hypnosis, raw food, metaphysics, Taoism, Qigong…

After meeting my wife, Michelle, in 2007, I started to study sacred sexuality and have continued my learning journey about how to awakenhttps://www.instagram.com/anevolvingman/ . ABOUT WENDY CAPEWELL happiness in all areas of life.

I now work as a transformational coach, workshop and retreat leader focusing in particular on boarding school syndrome, men's work – trauma, stress, anxiety, sleep problems and developing internal happiness.

I am trained as an NLP practitioner, EFT practitioner, Matrix Reimprinting practitioner, and Hypnotherapy practitioner.

I live in West Yorkshire and when I am not coaching I volunteer with Scouts, Duke of Edinburgh Award, I like to travel, garden, learn about human potential, play music, be creative and spend time in nature.
