Personal background

During 2007-09, I trained in leading Dances of Universal Peace with Philip O'Donohoe, a leading international exponent of the Dances, who continues to be my mentor. Since that time I have established fortnightly Dance circles in Peebles and Edinburgh as well as offering one-off events in the Scottish Borders and further afield. I became a certified leader of the Dances in November 2010. Since my teens, I have (albeit erratically) pursued an interest in meditation, particularly forms involving sound and movement.  In my other life, I delight in the company of my two children, live in a house in the woods with my partner and work as a software project manager in a medical imaging company in Edinburgh.
