PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
I have developed a hugely effective inspirational/motivational program on goal setting and achievement, harnessing the power of the mind - "DIRECTED THOUGHT....CHANNELLED IMAGINATION." This is indisputably the most IMPORTANT aspect of my work and permeates EVERYTHING I DO and BELIEVE in.
Effective communication underpins every area in which I operate - speaking, writing, teaching, training. So, given my lifelong love of animals, training horses and dogs is just a natural extension of the very wide ranging work I undertake with people.
The power of the mind is incredible. That fact is incontrovertible. Thoughts have their own energy. By systematically selecting and directing positive thoughts to our subconscious levels of awareness we can harness that energy to help us achieve remarkable successes.
I first became interested in PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) 45 years ago when I was a College Lecturer. I have avidly pursued my studies of (the power of) the mind through different wide ranging avenues ever since. These include many comparative religions - particularly Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism; the philosophy of Kaizen; Yoga; NLP; the Silva Method; Mind Sculpting; Behavioural Psychology and a host of, largely American, goal orientated motivators.
In the process I have developed my own eclectic approach to benefitting from the extraordinary power that is available to every one of us, if we understand how to tap into it. In "DIRECTED THOUGHT........CHANNELLED IMAGINATION" I guide people through an advanced, highly effective method of changing one's attitudes, oneself, and one's circumstances. Areas covered are...
- Self Awarness
- Self Evaluation
- Positive Self-Image- Organising the Subconscious Mind for Success
- Desire
- Goal Setting
- Affirmation
- Associated use of ALL of the Senses
- Employing "White Hot Emotion"
- Visualisation
Mental Rehearsal - Mind Sculpting
- Planning the Day - "The first hour is the rudder of the Day."
- Breathing Exercises - control - Stress Releasing Practices.
- Meditation
- Self-Hypnosis
- Focusing
- Mental Screening and Imaging
REHABILITATION SPECIALIST
Doctors, Physiotherapists, Practitioners, Osteopaths, Chiropractors have sent hundreds of people to me with, often very severe, BACK problems, as well as those requiring post-operative rehabilitation or, more general remedial work.
For decades I have been committed to the serious study of Anatomy, Physiology, Kinesiology, Mechanics, Biodynamics, Exercise Methodology together with associated Health Considerations. Furthermore during that time I have conducted exhaustive personal Research and Experimentation. This gives me an unrivalled platform from which to successfully offer help with many physical conditions, injuries,abnormalities, irregularities, disabilities.
For me the purpose of any rehabilitation or remedial program is to restore the person to the best possible condition, with marked improvement, in the shortest possible time. The process inevitably involves hard work and sometimes (considerable) discomfort, so we’d better have a few laughs along the way. I aim to make the, sometimes torturous, journey of transformation as productive, as rewarding and as much fun as possible.
It is not (good) enough just to set up an effective exercise program, to give nutritional advice plus direction on the best supplements to aid healing/recovery and to offer information on lifestyle practices which will further assist in (sometimes transformational) improvements. All of that is EASY.
I provide much more. I expect to help mentally, even, if necessary, to provide support emotionally. We must always (try to) maintain POSITIVITY and this is most difficult, of course, when we are experiencing (our greatest) setbacks. I establish HOPE. I set TARGETS and then I make sure that together we start picking off those GOALS. I have NEVER met ANYONE I COULD NOT HELP in some degree. But mostly, WHATEVER the PROBLEM, I can help substantially.
FITNESS CONSULTANT
I have helped thousands of people, between the ages of 6 and 93, achieve everything from basic fitness to the very highest levels of sporting specific fitness. These include International Performers from well over 20 DIFFERENT sports.
I am extremely serious about fitness. I've dedicated my entire adult life to researching fitness, teaching fitness and testing myself in the most challenging fitness scenarios, where nausea, physical collapse, mental exhaustion and pulse rates in excess of 220 are normal.
Consequently I have extensive knowledge of fitness and training methods, over 50 years of continuous high-level training and an unusually successful sporting record. With that background I have advised International performers from well over 20 different sports including those who have won English, British, European and World Titles. I have instructed those who train the sportsmen and women. I worked closely with Surrey County Cricket Club for over a decade. I was retained by both the Test and County Cricket Board (TCCB - England) and the Pakistan Cricket Board, for whom I returned fast bowlers Aqib Javed and Waqar Younis to Test Cricket following stress fractures of the spine.
Applicable strength is the key factor in my exceptionally productive training routines. Strength is, and has always provided, the base upon which my fitness programmes are built. As an added bonus, strength not only reduces the likelihood of injury during protracted endurance work or speed training, but any injury is generally less serious and recovery is invariably more rapid.
My individualistic approach lays emphasis on mobility and flexibility; encompasses endurance and speed, of course; includes, less obvious, peripheral considerations such as agility, balance, coordination. I set great store by the quality, efficiency, grace and harmony of movement encapsulated in the word “athleticism”. I have also long been an advocate of more frequent, shorter, more intense workouts (2-6 a day where appropriate) rather than the traditional, protracted 2-6 sessions per week.
I’ve worked with thousands of people from all walks of life between the ages of 8 and 92. My programmes have helped, among other, housewives, business people, sporting superstars, the overweight, the underweight, the injured, the insecure and even those recovering from M.E.
Above all, however, I am a teacher and trainer. I seek to excite, enthuse, stimulate, challenge, encourage and am concerned to inspire my charges rather than merely to motivate them.
HORSE TRAINER/COMMUNICATOR
Does your horse have a problem (with you?) Inattention? Respect Issues? Non-compliance? Unpredictability? Loading? etc? etc? I get astonishing results with horses without fear, force or intimidation. Let me teach you how.
The horse, epitome of a free spirit, is a most beautiful creature. Elegant in repose, graceful in motion, it is often electrifying at "take off" and spectacular at speed - harmonising balance, cadence, power and symmetry. It is no wonder so many of us are besotted with horses and yet, too often owners/riders are scared witless by mounts which show them no respect or compliance and over which they have no meaningful control. There is no pleasure, no fun, in that situation, but it is not altogether surprising.
ALL EQUINE ACTIVITY IS POTENTIALLY (POSSIBLY VERY) DANGEROUS!
Horses are complex, highly sensitive creatures, They are large, spontaneous, swift, herd-dependent, flightorientated prey animals. They survive by REACTING, they DO NOT REASON. Horses have an irrepressible instinct for self-preservation, often driven by panic. Half a ton of irrational animal going from anxiety at 0 miles an hour to a flat out, chaotic 30 miles an hour within 3 seconds can be anything from mildly disconcerting to absolutely terrifying.
The horse's overwhelming, exclusive priority is SAFETY. And that too should be our number one consideration when we are around, with or on horses. Anything we can do to make the horse calmer, more relaxed and reduce the horse's unpredictability, while making the horse more responsive to our guidance, will lead to greater safety within the partnership we are working to develop. Respect and trust will build confidence and enhance safety. We must work continuously for compliance and control.
It is vitally important that to be most effective with horses we learn to "read them", at least at a basic level, and, particularly, to COMMUNICATE with them in a WAY THEY UNDERSTAND. If the horse does not give you the response you are seeking, DON'T BLAME THE HORSE! In all likelihood you are failing to express yourself in a way the horse can understand. Get it right and YOU CAN DO ASTONISHING THINGS WITH HORSES. To train a horse effectively you must be absolutely clear in your direction. Horses are very black or white in their thinking. You must also be totally CONSISTENT on a day to day basis. "The fastest way to train a horse is slowly". Just take the time it takes and keep going back to basics to reinforce the lessons you have put in place. Always do your very best to end each training session on a positive note. And remember that WHENEVER you are with your horse you are training that horse either INTENTIONALLY or UNKNOWINGLY! Sadly many people are teaching the horse unwittingly. This is highly significant to the horse because it means that the horse is in control and the horse is doing the training. I specialise in GROUNDWORK SKILLS that are COMPATIBLE with ALL DISCIPLINES. These skills will build respect, trust, develop compliance and help to both deflight and desensitise your horse, thus giving you the keys to greater safety with horses.
I can help you improve the way you interact with your horse to resolve attitudinal and behavioural problems.
- Get your horse's ATTENTION
- Learn your horse's RESPECT
- Develop COMPLIANCE/willing responsiveness
- Establish LEADERSHIP within the PARTNERSHIP
- Instil CALMNESS, CONFIDENCE and TRUST
- EXTEND your horse's COMFORT ZONE
- Enjoy CONTROL of your horse and SAFETY
ALL WITHOUT FEAR, FORCE OR INTIMIDATION
I also provide ADVANCED HORSE HANDLING, ROUND PEN TRAINING and EQUINE ASSISTED THERAPY for groups or individuals. And my horses have been used for film, photographic and, even, "glamour" shoots!
DOG TRAINER/COMMUNICATOR
Is your dog out of control? Deaf to your commands? Oblivious to your authority? I have rescued and retrained, first Dobermann and subsequently Rottweiler, dogs for 35 years. Learn to command attention and respect. Establish boundaries and provide leadership within a loving partnership.
Having rescued (and (re)trained) first Dobermanns, but more particularly Rottweilers for more than 35 years, I have frequently witnessed the harm that humans can inflict on animals. Consequently I have VERY strong views on dogs, which I think are wonderful, and dog ownership. All too often "man's best friend" is treated disgracefully. It is a shocking indictment that in a so-called nation of animal lovers, every single breed of dog has at least one rescue organisation, quite irrespective of the numerous national and regional bodies that cater for all breeds. Sadly a great deal of the abuse and neglect perpetrated upon dogs by owners is the result, not of malice or cruelty, but of IGNORANCE. At least there is some hope here. An important part of my MISSION, where dogs are concerned, is to EDUCATE owners and potential owners, to help them learn about and understand their dog. It is inexcusable to take on a dog and not look after it properly. Dogs are very dependent, but given the chance, they are loyal, loving, constant, forgiving, even, if necessary, protective and they are a lot of fun. "Dogs ask very little, but they give so much." Dogs are wonderful companions but, whatever their virtues, they are not human. There is a lot of truth in the old maxim, "treat a dog like a human, and it will treat you like a dog!" Dogs do not think like we do. They do not share our standards, values, our moral compass. They don't know our "right" from our "wrong". They are not being good, bad, naughty. They are DOGS, but they do pick up on our moods, our thoughts, our body language. In my opinion WHATEVER my DOG DOES, HOWEVER my DOG BEHAVES, it is NEVER the DOG'S "FAULT." But WHATEVER it DOES and HOWEVER it BEHAVES it is ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS MY RESPONSIBILITY. And that is why it is so very important to properly integrate the dog into the family "pack", to establish its place under your LEADERSHIP and to give it a predictable framework with appropriate boundaries. You can achieve quite astonishing things with dogs. Training dogs is simple, but not always easy. It requires patience, persistence, consistency, an open mind and a letting go of your ego - often difficult for a man. Fear, force and intimidation have no place in my training regimes. Not only are they repellent, but they are counterproductive. Knocking an animal about does not instil affection, loyalty or even respect. The approach I would recommend every time is patient, step by (small) step progression, employing repetition-repetition-repetition, based on positive reinforcement with rewards and lavish praise. You need to be incredibly patient, absolutely persistent, totally consistent. Remember, your dog is a reflection of its owner - that's YOU! And here is an indisputable fact you must always try to keep in mind. Many dog (animal) owners are just not aware that ALL the TIME YOU are WITH your DOG (animal) you are TRAINING IT, either knowingly or, (all too often) unwittingly. It is this inadvertent "training", when the DOG is in fact TRAINING YOU, that can be so damaging.
If you would like to see just some of the spectacular results that can be obtained with the training I employ, please click on Training Videos where you can view films of my Rescued Rottweilers working, interacting with my horses and even with a wild fox (I have trained to come and feed near them) as well a wild young stag.
You can also read and, indeed, print my training notes - "It's ALL ABOUT the DOG."
NATURAL HEALTH and LIFESTYLE ADVISOR
My knowledge and practise of "Natural Health" has transformed my life and enabled me to help others do like wise. I provide unusual insights into health modalities which can provide extraordinary benefits at any age, but particularly as we get older.
The greatest gift of all is robust good health - energy, vitality, a zest for life. Superior health is an absolute prerequisite for happiness. And the good news is most of us can do a huge amount, with relatively little effort, to improve our own health and, therefore, the quality of our lives. Positive Natural Health is always my goal. My philosophy is eclectic, widely drawn. Many of my early theories on a whole range of health related benefits and practices have been vindicated by informed research, often years - even decades, after I first proposed them.
So too have my frequent warnings on the inherent dangers posed by atmospheric and environmental pollutants, as well as by the chemical contaminants in our homes and work places. These are not confined solely to our foods, of course, but are increasingly identified in cosmetics, toiletries, furniture, fabrics, air fresheners, aerosol propellants and a plethora of cleaning materials and substances.
Of course, there's more. We encounter hundreds of different parasites which prey upon the human body. These range from microscopic invaders to monstrous tape worms, many metres long. Flukes, worms, bacteria, viruses all eagerly adopt the human host. Most people have no idea how rapidly these parasites can proliferate or the chaos and misery they can create. But parasitic infestation underlies, causes and is associated with many, often very serious, ailments and conditions. Fortunately there are foods, herbs and procedures which can eradicate many of these unwelcome guests within each cycle of their development.
Many years before I became older I was fascinated by the factors that contribute to a long and vigorously healthy life. Genetic and environmental considerations are difficult, of course, to ignore. Will Rogers once famously quipped, "you know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks." It's obviously worthwhile to do everything we can to keep those eventualities at bay, for as long as possible! If you study the longest lived cultures in the World, you will find, not surprisingly, these are people who live simply, frugally, close to and in harmony with Nature. They take a great deal of physical activity in their everyday lives; eat natural, undenurtured food with an emphasis on vegetables, fruits, unrefined cereals and grains. They get plenty of sleep, know how to relax and they avoid the multiple stresses that we are relentlessly subjected to in our materialistic, advanced (?) western societies. It has been suggested by medical authorities that 80% of the illnesses we suffer are stress related!?! So it would probably be unwise of us to cynically dismiss the value of the contemplative, meditative and/or spiritual component these people invariably make part of their daily lives. If we value our health we can learn a lot from, even, a rudimentary study of these simple, uncomplicated lifestyles. As Abraham Lincoln observed, "In the end it's not the years in your life that counts. It's the life in your years."
There are all sorts of measures, approaches, practices and procedures employed by Positive Natural Health that can help improve the quality of our lives immeasurably. Some of these can be used, for instance, to alleviate/eliminate allergies, asthma/respiratory disorders, weight problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, circulatory problems and so on. It is often simple to rebuild and restore glowing health, even after very serious problems. Simple, but not necessarily easy. Such restoration always takes time, but it takes application and self-discipline particularly.
"Your body is the vehicle in which you travel through life." I can help to make that journey as pleasant, as rewarding as possible. Greater attention to some of these important considerations could improve the quality of your life to a significant, even to a transformational, degree.
- NUTRITION - How to eat. What and when to eat and drink. What to AVOID. Food Combining. Raw Foods. Juices. Super Foods. Supplements etc etc. There is an old saying, "we are what we eat." That is simplistic because it ignores digestion, absorption, assimilation, but it is nevertheless pertinent. Hippocrates said, perhaps more tellingly, "Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.”
- EXERCISE - Aerobic. Anaerobic. Mobility/Flexibility. Strength Training. Speed Training. Balance. Coordination and so on. We need regular challenging activity to lead a healthy life. There is a German proverb that states succinctly, "if I rest, I rust.”
- SLEEP. REST. RELAXATION. RECUPERATION. These elements are often neglected in our society today to the great detriment of our health. An anonymous quotation tells us, "sleep is better than medicine."
- Breathing Practices - Stress Control
- Meditation - Stress Relief
- Interests - Hobbies - Work/Life Balance
- Laughter - Humour - Fun
- Sunlight - Full Spectrum Light - Colour
- Sounds - Music - Singing
- Cold - Heat - Air Baths
- Closeness to the World of Nature - Animals/Pets - Plants in the Home/Workplace
Here are a few slightly more esoteric, but extraordinarily effective Positive Natural Health Modalities
- FASTING - the best way to allow the body to engage its amazing powers of Self-Healing.
- HERBAL COLON CLEANSE - not some frivolous "celebrity" nonsense, but a serious, hugely beneficial health programme.
- GALL BLADDER AND LIVER CLEANSE - my Number One Health Modality. Eliminate Gall Stones (yes, you have got them—hundreds of them!) This procedure can be preceded by a Parasite Cleanse and a Kidney Cleanse. Incredible Benefits!
We need to take full responsibility for every controllable aspect of our lives. Health is a vital area.

Given the many extraordinary people I have worked with and the highly unusual life I lead, I have amassed a rich source of anecdotal material - much of it very entertaining.
Communication can be overt, obvious, as startling, as shocking, as a sudden, unexpected explosion! But......it can also be just as subtle as a suggested thought. However, to be optimally effective, communication needs to be appropriate to the audience, the occasion and the subject.
