I'm James Garside - a healing personal development coach and workshop facilitator. I came to this work on the other side of my own long-term existential crisis - feelings of disillusionment at the contribution my career in advertising was making to society, and the lingering shame and self-criticism that told me I wasn’t ‘enough’.

After a painful breakup, losing my job and a subsequent breakdown, my deep pain drove me to explore every technique, workshop and healing modality I could get my hands on, in an attempt to overcome my own demons. Along the way, I realised that what I was truly seeking was more meaning and purpose in my life. And I now help to guide people who have come to the same realisation - that there’s more to this existence than just material success, but aren’t yet sure how to move into alignment with the desires of their soul.
