Ian teaches individuals, teams, and organisations how to use science-based holistic tools and technologies to reshape their approach to mental wellness. Over time, this changes how you work, live, and interact with others and the world.

His career paths include British Army WO2 Foreman of Signals, and Cisco EMEA Training Programme Manager. During these formative years he experienced life's rollercoaster of excitement, stress, achievement, and overwhelm, both in himself and those around him. To better manage stress he tried medicinal prescriptions, but this did little more than dampen down the symptoms, and introduce unwelcome side-effects. He began to realise that the root cause of his perpetual stress, was in fact his mind.

Today Ian is a leading global voice in the field of mental wellness. Using the science of Neurology, Mindfulness, and Polyvagal Therapy, he creates tools to transform stress into an opportunity to build clarity, confidence, and creativity. His work has been featured in global media outlets and adopted by leading organisations worldwide.

His programs have been adopted by JP Morgan, Kim and Chang, Mandara Spa Group, Hong Kong GTC, Virgin, HP Barcelona, Manchester United FC, NHS, GEC, AmCham Korea and more.
