And a very warm welcome to my newsletter.
Once a month – I do my best, but sometimes life (and my retreats!) happen, and it ends up being more like once every two months – I’ll be dropping a dose of insight, a touch of humour, and practical wisdom straight into your inbox. Think of it as a compass for when your world feels off-kilter. Whether you’re rethinking your career, reimagining your relationships, or rebuilding after a curveball, I’m here to support you.
My aim with this newsletter is to provide a supportive space where you can find actionable strategies to navigate all those moments that make life… well, interesting. Too interesting, sometimes.
Who am I? You can read an essay about my exploits by CLICKING HERE, but in short, I’m a retired medical doctor who now hosts Camino de Santiago retreats on a little farm in the southwest of France, assisted by a small herd of Friesian and Falabella horses, and also virtually mentors people through various life changes, challenges and crises. Most of these I have been through myself, sometimes more than once.
As a special welcome gift, CLICK HERE to access the Turning Point Quiz. This little tool is designed to offer you effective ways to ground yourself and find a sense of calm when life throws you a curveball.
That’s about it. If you can’t wait until the next time I manage to send out a newsletter and need help making an important decision right now, you can have a look at my Critical Decision-Making Protocol.
It will give you an idea of how I can support you. It’ll be especially useful if you have been:
- -Lying awake at night, replaying options in your mind
- -Feeling paralysed when facing important choices
- -Second-guessing decisions you’ve already made
- -Struggling to separate emotions from practical considerations
- -Feeling pressured to make choices before you’re ready
This is what it’s all about:

This step-by-step system combines analytical clarity with emotional intelligence to help you make decisions you won’t regret, even during your most challenging transitions.
What makes this protocol different?
- It is specifically designed for high-stakes transition decisions
- It integrates your emotions rather than allowing you to ignore them
- It aligns your choices with your deepest values
- It provides clear steps when you feel at your most foggy
- It helps you distinguish between reversible and consequential choices
- It includes practical tools for immediate implementation

Here’s what others are saying:
“After being laid off from my 15-year career, I felt completely lost. This protocol helped me distinguish between panic-driven decisions and genuinely aligned choices. What surprised me most was how the Values Alignment section revealed that what I thought I wanted wasn’t actually what mattered most to me. Six months later, I’m in a completely new field, earning less but infinitely happier.” – Jennifer T.
“As a new widower at 58, I was drowning in financial decisions I never had to make before. The Emotional Clearing step was revolutionary—it helped me recognise how grief and fear were clouding my judgment. I’ve now made investment choices I feel confident about, and I refer back to the framework whenever I feel overwhelmed by my new responsibilities.” – Robert M.
“I was torn between staying near family or accepting a dream job overseas. The Future Impact Assessment helped me visualise my life in both scenarios beyond just the immediate pros and cons. This protocol doesn’t make the decision for you—it creates the clarity you need to trust yourself again. That alone was worth 100 times the price.” – Sophia K.
“As an entrepreneur facing a critical pivot-or-close decision for my struggling business, I needed more than just a pro/con list. The Two-Minute Emotional Reset and Practical Analysis sections helped me separate my ego from the actual facts. I made the difficult decision to close one branch of my business, which ultimately saved the company. This framework pays for itself in preventing just one bad decision.” – Marcus J.
“After my health crisis, every decision felt overwhelming—from treatment options to work accommodations. What I love about this framework is how it specifically addresses time-sensitive decisions without sacrificing thoughtfulness. The Intuition Integration section gave me permission to trust my gut when it aligned with my values, something I’d lost confidence in doing. This tool restored my decision-making power during a time when I felt I had none.” – Amara L.
