Bio

Ian's lifelong passion for alternative approaches to healing and personal transformation began with his exploration of herbal medicines and flower essences while still a teenager. He went on to train in reflexology, radionics and homeopathy, and became internationally known through his homeopathic books and inspirational seminars. In 1993 he co-founded The Lakeland College as an expression of his ideal that learning healing skills must go hand in hand with the inner development of the student practitioner.

Ian has consistently been drawn towards pioneers in other fields who have developed innovative, simple and powerful ways to facilitate the healing process. Recognizing the importance of emotional release as a crucial component of self-healing, he trained in Shen Therapy, developed by Richard Pavek, and later in Journey Process™ work with Brandon Bays. He has also made an extensive study of the works of Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, Marion Woodman, R.D. Laing, Milton Erickson and many others who have contributed to our understanding of physical, emotional and psychological well-being.

Ian has travelled widely and has been privileged to work with individuals and groups throughout the world. He has also explored the spiritual and mystical teachings from both the western and eastern traditions, and from ancient to modern times. His vision of healing is encapsulated in this excerpt from his recent book, The Tao of Homeopathy:

'True healing involves a growth in consciousness, an opening in awareness and a return to oneself. Everything else is symptom relief.'

Since retiring from homeopathic clinical work and The Lakeland College, Ian has recently begun offering consultations to clients who are looking to engage more deeply with their own growth process. His work is now based upon the simple premise that we already have within us everything we need for our growth and healing, and the facilitator's role is to help us remember and experience that.

Ian runs a regular programme of group seminars and retreats, and also offers private consultations to individuals who are committed to their own personal growth, and feel ready to take greater responsibility for their own self-healing process.

Ian lives in Dartington, Devon with his wife and daughter.
