I've spent nearly 30 years working in the health and fitness industry, with Pilates forming an important part of that journey since 2012. Alongside that, I've always been a lifelong learner, curious about the human body, the mind, nature, history and the many different ways people have sought to understand themselves throughout the centuries.
Over the years, that curiosity led me to create The Shibashi Sanctuary, where I shared my passion for Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi. Later, it inspired The Celtic Compass, where I explored ancestry, history, nature and the changing seasons.
Both have been important chapters in my journey and have helped shape the philosophy that guides me today.
Over time, I realised that neither name fully reflected what I wanted to share. Pilates isn't the whole story. Shibashi isn't the whole story. History isn't the whole story either.
They're all part of something much bigger.
The Dragon Compass brings together everything that inspires me. Movement. Awareness. Nature. Ancient wisdom. Modern science. Ancestral connection. Daoist philosophy. Yin and Yang. The changing seasons. The simple act of paying attention to ourselves and the world around us.
I'll always be a student of the world. Every book I read, every course I take, every place I visit and every conversation I have teaches me something new. As I continue learning, I'll continue sharing what I discover, hoping it helps you better understand yourself and navigate life with greater awareness, alignment and connection.
Thank you for being part of the journey so far.
This is simply the next chapter.
I'd love for you to continue the journey with me, so please come and follow The Dragon Compass
