After graduating with a BSc(Econ) from Hull University, and working in industry first as a Financial Analyst with Ford Tractors (UK), then in Management Consultancy for a decade, then with my wife we established a Michelin star restaurant from scratch. I then decided I wanted to train as a homeopathic doctor unable to get a place in a medical school, I was advised to train as an osteopath and study homoeopathy on my own. We sold our restaurant we moved to Kent where I enrolled at the osteopathic College in Maidstone and qualified in 1981. I then joined forces with a number of like minded practitioners including an anthroposophical Doctor to establish the first holistic clinic in the Southeast of England that year. This multi discipline clinic was a training ground to help understand the power of our own healing abilities when helped with appropriate therapy, we also were humbled by knowing that although I was supposed to be an expert in physical medicine others could help better with certain patients. Working together as a team to offer the best care to patients was the key.
After forty years in the healthcare profession I published a small book as a guide for people wanting to take more responsibility for their own health entitled “Be Your Own Doctor of Health and Happiness-You Are a Miracle!”
I have never been convinced of our economic dogmas and decided to begin working on my next book entitled “Be Your Own Economist of Wealth and Prosperity - Replace GDP growth with GDW growth”. By clearly defining “wealth” we can have growth that would be sustainable. I have gained much inspiration from Doughnut Economics.
