about us.

We are Lee and Jess, a couple living in South Leicestershire in the UK.

We both have our own unique story to tell, but we joined our lives together in 2023 and are committed life partners.

We found we have a blend of knowledge between us that means we can offer a unique approach to transforming lives.

We practice what we preach, and continue to do our own work on who we are and the way we live our lives.  

Lee 

Lee was born and raised in East Yorkshire. He was exposed to significant childhood trauma, both physically and emotionally, which left deep unhealed wounds into late adulthood.

Lee started his transformation by training in Classical Kinesiology, Jin Shin Jitsu and Reiki in the late 1990’s. He also studied Ju Jitsu, Qigong and Tai Chi. This is where his interest in the Chinese systems of healing started, but he continued in his corporate role & founded his own health care company until he was left crippled by Chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2018. His future prognosis was not looking good; so after spending a year housebound in chronic pain, he started making considerable changes to his lifestyle. He quit the corporate world and stepped away from his company. This prognosis reignited his desire to focus on his Qigong, Nei Gong and meditation practices. By 2021 he had reversed the condition & returned to full health.

Since his original training in the 1990’s Lee has added to his skills by becoming an Intuitive Healer Master, Soul Plan practitioner and developed his Qigong and Nei Gong knowledge to qualify as an Instructor. He is fascinated by the knowledge found in Traditional Chinese Medicine and continues to learn. Most lately, he has trained as a Men’s Work Facilitator through the Unmasked Man program and adds to his knowledge of Qigong in weekly sessions with his Qigong Master. 

Jess  

Jess was born and raised in the West Midlands, the youngest of four siblings in a home where physical, spiritual and emotional abuse were normalised. At the age of 15, she experienced the immense power of being heard and seen by a teacher, and decided she wanted to become a counsellor. Initially too unwell from the years of abuse, Jess went to University to study business before embarking on a corporate career in her twenties. Although successful in reaching middle management by the age of 30, she could not wait to leave her job after the birth of her first daughter in 2010.

She began her training in counselling in 2007; and went on to complete a Masters degree in Psychology in 2015, qualifying to practice as a Counsellor in 2019 both in adult and child work. Jess started a doctorate programme in 2019, but during that course she realised that the mainstream model didn’t seem to have many answers, and to really help people transform, she needed to understand trauma. This led Jess to Dr Gabor Mate’s Compassionate Inquiry training, and since then she’s added Breathwork and Functional Kinesiology to her skills. Above all, discovering trauma research led to significant personal healing and growth for Jess and her life has transformed from it. Most recently she was awarded a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology.
