THE ART OF GRACEFUL LIVING

A 6 session mindfulness & meditation course

This course is not about fixing yourself.
It’s not about becoming calmer, better or more spiritual.

It’s about seeing how the mind actually works.

– no breathwork to master
– no nervous systems to soothe or calm
– no vagus nerve to tone

Over six sessions we explore:

– awareness without judgement
– how thought creates identity and story
– the movement of psychological suffering
– presence without effort
– relationship as a mirror
– living simply, clearly, gracefully

You may notice familiar phrases running through your life:

“I’m an over thinker’…”
“Cos I’m the type of person that…”
“Cos I worry…”

We look at where these come from and what they mean.

Not to replace them with better thoughts, but, to understand their nature.

A central inquiry of the course is that
the observer and the observed come from the same source.

The one who says “I am anxious” and the anxiety itself are not two separate things, they arise from the same movement of thought and conditioning.

When that’s seen clearly, conflict begins to lose its grip and drop away naturally.

There are no methods to master.
No promise of transformation. Just a clear and honest look at what is actually happening, moment to moment.

If you’ve ever felt that mindfulness has been overcomplicated, commercialised, or, turned into another thing to get right, this course is an invitation to step back and look at it again.

🗓 6 weeks
🧘‍♀️ Talks, guided inquiry, simple meditations
📘 Accompanying workbook
👥 Small group / reflective space

Grace is not cultivated.
It appears when effort ends.

Have We Been Looking in the Wrong Place?

I’ve been a surgeon for over 25 years, and the longer I practice, the less I’m interested in structure — and the more I’m drawn to physiology... the entire person sitting before me.

I don’t ignore the structure… but I weigh the findings differently.
Early in my career, I obsessed over images. MRIs, X-rays, cartilage wear, meniscus tears — the structure told the story, or so I thought.

But experience humbles you. It teaches you that what shows up on a scan often matters far less than what’s happening in the body that scan belongs to.

Many cases of adult joint/tendon pain are just another manifestation of metabolic disease. It's true. The inflammation from your fatty liver, insulin resistance, diabetes, etc. It all plays a role in how much pain you're currently having.

Most of my patients are metabolically “sub-optimal”. And that has made me care less about what’s torn, worn, or frayed — and far more about inflammation, insulin resistance, central adiposity, elevated uric acid, and being under-muscled.

Again, I don’t ignore the structural changes… I see their contribution to the plan differently.

Lean muscle, central adiposity, systemic inflammation, mitochondrial health — these are the quiet variables that determine how someone feels, heals, adapts, and recovers.

Structure breaks down when our foundational physiology fails. Tendons degenerate when uric acid/ insulin, glucose and inflammation stays high. Cartilage thins when inflammation rises. Bone weakens when load is absent.

As surgeons, we were trained to fix anatomy. But biology is where the leverage is. Improve the chemistry, improve the outcome!! Remember that's one.

I still look at the images — but I look through them now. Because behind many joints that hurt is a system that’s out of balance.

An estimated 80% of the population will suffer from lower back pain at some point. The good news is that preventing it is a lot easier than treating it

I teach Pilates because movement gave me my life back.

After years of back pain, I learned that healing doesn’t happen overnight. It happens slowly, through consistency, strengthening, and learning to truly listen to your body.

I teach Pilates because I’ve lived its benefits, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. I teach to pass on what others once taught me, because we learn from each other and too often overlook the closest thing we have, our own bodies.

Today, I’m generally pain free, and I love helping others feel the same strength, freedom, and confidence in their bodies 🤍
