More About Me
Trained as a doctor at Wits, the pre-eminent Medical school in Africa, I interned in Surgery and Medicine at the world-famous Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto, specialised in Psychiatry including two years in Forensic Psychiatry at Sterkfontein Hospital.
I am also the resident psyciatrist at the Oxford retreat, a consultant for Gateway rehabilitation centre.
“We are all one”
Is oft-quoted in spiritual circles.
I prefer “it is all one.”
The manner in which I experience life is through many lenses – almost like a prism. I understand meanings and challenges of situations presented before me, on many levels, at the same time. I receive an enormous amount of stimulus-data which i have to filter and reduce to manageable working bytes.
My Story
My primary passion as a young child, was the mystery of the workings of the mind and the brain. I was fascinated by telepathy, ESP, and the ‘paranormal’.
I studied Medicine with the objective of specializing in Psychiatry, which required thirteen years of study. Although my training was in pathology ( neuro and psychopathology), while working in clinical practice, I trained in other modalities and began to appreciate the coherent and cohesive “system” that appears to operate accross energetic, mental and spiritual levels of existence.
I trained in Mindfulness with Jon Kabat-Zinn, practised Kundalini Yoga under supervision of Kewal Kaur, Ravi Kaur and Balwant Kaur , studied the workings of the Enneagram under Russ Hudson, Bea Chestnut and Uranio Paes, learnt Transactional Analysis with Sharyn Kalinko, and Family Constellations with Stefan Hausner. I delved into Jungian theory, Archetypes, Tarot, Astrology, and familiarised myself with the basics of Numerology.
My Strength
My training and accessory study has strengthened my innate ability to understand people and situations in multiple dimensions. I am comfortable working in any framework or system, whether clinical, scientific, religious, spiritual, traditional or new-age
My Unique Offer
I bring a synthesis of scientific data and evidence-based-medicine to age-old remedy and ancient healing methods. I can easily confer information, teach and explain the workings of a system, illness, medication, psychic experience, or situation in a manner which is logical, useful , and also creates meaning.
I OFFER CLARITY, EXPLORE THE PURPOSE – OF THE SYMPTOM OR SITUATION – AND ALWAYS BRING HOPE
