I first got diagnosed with ADHD 11 years ago and it felt like a revelation, a burden that had been lifted - a reason why I was the way that I was. After some psychometric testing and a grilling from the Doctor, I was prescribed ritalin and sent upon my merry way; with the promise of a follow up appointment.
Of course I forgot the follow up appointment. And whilst ritalin helped me focus, it also gave me anxiety, headaches and other not so fun side effects. And so began my journey into understanding my mind, which led me to learn about and integrate Buddhism and mindfulness into my life. Gradually I noticed my ADHD symptoms reduce and felt calmer in my day to day life.
Over the years I’ve had a wide variety of careers that have included the following:
Commercial property agent, artist manager in the music industry, A&R scout at record labels, radio presenter, founder of a one man music video production company, founder of a one man content production company, which led me to: acting, performing stand up comedy, writing and directing short films and finally developing TV sitcoms.
In 2023 I decided to retrain as a mindfulness coach and breathwork facilitator with a view to helping fellow ADHDers feel more centered, calm and focused.
