I guide people to rediscover their magic and the magic of being alive 🏝️💚🇬🇷 Co-founder of Find Your Magic Retreats in Crete

A you ready to take an inner journey to reconnect with their bodies, their wisdom, their gifts, nature and the cosmos? I’ve been working in the body-mind-spirit field for over a decade, and have run thousands of sessions, workshops and retreats. While training and working with individuals and groups I have developed a unique methodology that combines elements of physical training, body-mind therapy, spiritual coaching and creative mentoring to guide people to experience deeper aliveness, alignment and authenticity.

Has your relationship with social media changed recently?

Many people seem to breaking away, tired of the endless stream of nonsense.

I took a little break from posting over the past few months.

I took Instagram and all social media off my main phone and put it on a second phone. Over time, I checked that phone less and less, even forgetting some days that I had it, and spending days without checking Instagram.

I’ve come back to it this year with fresh eyes.
I don’t feel controlled by it in the same way anymore.

I’m trying to be more conscious about how I use it. For example, whenever I log in, I go straight to the feed of people I’m following, and I’m unfollowing those that don’t resonate anymore — over time creating a feed that feels more and more nourishing.

Two things surprise me now; on one hand, people expressing their hearts and showing up in really beautiful, human ways. At the same time, I’m also observing my system’s overwhelm at the amount of information, data and content I am bombarded with.

There’s so much content (partly due to how many people I’m following — hence me making this change)

Coming into 2026, I want to approach social media with more awareness and softness.

I feel a lot more at peace with it now.
I don’t feel like I have to show up.

I’m really interested in this yin approach — coming from a place of sincerity and depth in what I’m doing and how I’m sharing.

Am hoping this will last!

I’m really excited to share my new portfolio for my photo+film work.

For the last decade or so, I’ve been honing my skills behind the lens, creating visuals for retreats, and personal portraits for coaches, business owners and individuals.

‘Let Your Magic Be Seen’ is the tagline: I believe that your unique work and magic is a gift to the world. I’m here to help you share it — with clarity, confidence, and soul.

Below are some snippets of testimonials alongside some images that best showcase what I do.

---

I am planning to host creative day events in Crete and London that will offer both a workshop for you to develop your own visuals, as well as a photoshoot for each participant to receive updated personal portraits. If this might be of interest to you please get in touch, and I can let you know once I have further details.

I am also currently taking bookings for 2026 for personal portrait sessions in London and Crete. Find out more at my site, and get in touch for a free consultation and/or list of prices.

"Ed is such a joy to work and co-create with. He’s present, he listens deeply and tunes into what you specifically want and need. I love his energy, his creativity and how easy he makes it seem."

"As soon as I met Edward, I knew we were in good hands (and good heart + eyes too!). His attention and presence revealed someone who is sensitive to details and supports your vision of a photoshoot that’s not only suppose to be fun but sacred as well."

“I can only highly recommend the work of Ed. He’s such a connected and sensitive human being. He has this rare ability to weave himself, the camera and his presence into the space without causing any disruption. On the contrary — it felt as though he was contributing to the healing of the group."

What’s been on my camera roll lately: a slow, delicious, peaceful November so far… before the madness of London for 10 days.

What we need isn’t more noise, more how-tos, more productivity hacks..

The world needs more spaces for real connection.

To ourselves, to each other, to our planet.

With other humans that see us, that get us, that can inspire and move us.

We believe that’s the only way we can heal, personally and collectively: remembering the magic of being deeply human.

What do you think?

If you’ve been feeling a bit disconnected lately or unsure about your next steps, then this might what you need.

As part of a new series of free monthly talks, next Wednesday 8th October at 7pm UK / 9pm Athens, you’re invited for a 60-min talk and Q+A about “Everyday Intuition: how to navigate decision-making in work, love and health.”

It will be a relaxed, playful and hopefully inspiring session including some experiential element and a short meditation.

Go to the link in bio to RSVP and to receive a link to the recording. Or comment ‘Intuition’ or DM me and I will send you the link to book.

Lately I’ve been sitting with this…

A quiet, uneasy, familiar feeling that I’m not doing enough. That I should be further ahead.

That somehow, I don’t have what it takes. Never have and never will.

My mind scans the outside world for proof: scrolling through other people’s social media highlights, people who seem to have it all together. And then comparing that against the messy, unfiltered version of my own life.

The flaws, the doubts, the imperfections.

Somewhere underneath it all is this old belief that I’m missing something. That I’m not enough.

But I’m learning (again and again) that healing doesn’t come from achieving or doing more.

It comes from receiving more: more love, more presence, more joy, more of the quiet wisdom that already lives inside us.

The more I slow down and really listen - to my body, my breath, the electric aliveness moving through my cells - the more I remember: I am not broken. I am not lacking. I never was and never will be.

There is something ancient and intelligent that lives within all things that doesn’t need fixing, only welcoming.

And in those still moments - when I let myself soften, sink in, and receive - I remember the truth:

I am held. I am home. I am enough.

From there... life starts to move differently.

If you’ve been feeling like something’s missing, or like you’re not quite yourself lately, I see you. I feel you.

Let this be your reminder: You’re not behind. You’re not broken.

You’re just being called home to your own magic.

I’ll be sharing a guided meditation on this topic soon. Leave a comment or DM me if you’d like a link once its ready to share 😍

Ever feel like life passes by without a moment to yourself?

The thing is, space doesn’t just appear - especially in our busy modern lives. You need to cultivate it, tending to it with intention and care.

Here are 8 simple ways to do that, to reclaim some space for yourself amongst your day to day.

Which of these shifts will you be trying?

Here is a simple framework for how you can claw back some of that inner calm, power and presence that the outside world so easily takes from us.

The journey back to peace is one of becoming ok with everything going on outside and within us, without taking away our drive and longing for change - both on a personal and collective level.

I would love to hear how this insights resonate, and which way you can try today!

NEW LOVES UNLOCKED

- Driving on empty Cretan backroads that feel like the Wild West
- Warm morning coffee with mountain views
- Driving mountain tracks with only eagles and goats for company
- Criss-crossing the island I love, taking the longest routes through villages and gorges
- Discovering new places along the way, new remote places for a break or a night

A week on the road always fills my soul. With love for this island, for our planet, for life and its beautiful mysteries.

While I’ve been coaching people for over a decade, I have very few good images of myself doing so.

And so it was with a touch of nerves that we invited .the.photosopher to come during our gay men’s retreat to take shots of the morning workout and workshop.

We were concerned that it would be be a little bit off-putting for our retreaters, however it turned out to be quite the opposite!

George was so sensitive to the space and connection, and even contributed during the sharing in ways that really helped some of the participants.

Instead of people freezing, it turned out to be a key moment of the retreat, with the group going deeper in their joy as well as their depth.

Thanks George for such wonderful shots - here are a few of myself at work … finally!

Love
Ed

Sundown yesterday.

Outside: golden light, cicadas buzzing, breeze through the doors.
Inside: overwhelmed, frazzled, stuck.

I ask my husband to listen—hoping for clarity. What emerged was a familiar, hyper-responsible part of me. The one that tries to hold it all together, that fears letting anyone down.

Old patterns, resurfacing when they’re finally ready to be seen.

I cancelled an evening session, made space, went to bed early. Woke up lighter.

Here’s what I’m learning:

Frazzle looks different for everyone. For me, it shows up when I over-give, over-promise, over-do, and lose connection with myself.

For us big-hearted humans, it’s easy to be swept up in the needs of others. But the question I’m returning to is: What’s my small but meaningful contribution? I can’t fix everything. But I can care for my corner—with clarity, presence, and love.

Today, I feel at peace—energised by the possibility of showing up, of nurturing my corner of the world: my friends, family, clients, and our retreaters arriving on Friday.

Not to make it perfect for everyone, but simply to do my best with what I have, for those I can.

Frazzle can be our greatest teacher when we learn to listen to it. What’s yours trying to tell you?

What is your Frazzle telling you?
