BACKGROUND
It might surprise you to hear that I worked in Banking for 10 years and then finished my career as a Treasury Consultant for HP in California after another 10 years in Corporate Treasury! It did'nt make me happy, but I didn’t know what else I could do. Then I found myself in an airport bookshop on my way back from a business trip in San Francisco, when a book called What Colour Is Your Parachute, about lifestyle shifting, career changing and focusing on what you enjoy doing, literally fell at my feet.
I picked it up off the floor, read it on the flight home and suddenly I knew I had to change my career and do something involving health and helping people, based upon my early interests in all things Eastern and martial arts. And now after nearly 20 years practicing Traditional Acupuncture for Natural Fertility and IVF support, I used these same techniques to help my own wife conceive 12yrs ago with healthy twin girls at 41!
That book changed my life and I hope I can help to change yours.
