The Everyday Enlightened Living Approach (TEELA) was born from recognition:

recognition of the part I played in the many struggles, wrong turns, and crushing

disappointments I suffered in my 25-year search for spiritual transformation.

I finally saw how my dependency on external authorities and my willingness to give away my sovereignty to others—in the hope of someone else enlightening me—had kept me on a never-ending seeking treadmill. I felt if I just worked harder for my guru, tried harder, surrendered more, paid more, the prize would be mine.

It's not that I didn't learn and grow from my teachers over these many years, or that my dedication and commitment were wasted. Rather, the fundamental premise of my search was based outside myself—and depended almost exclusively on others' wisdom and insight to show the way instead of my own.

I trusted my gurus more than myself, and in abandoning the cultivation and trust in my inner guru and inner knowing, I became increasingly unmoored from myself and my true path.

When the house of cards finally collapsed, I collapsed with it: emotionally, spiritually, financially, mentally. It was the end of 25 years of hope and sacrifice. Amidst the rubble, however, the fire for spiritual liberation still burned, but now through the smouldering embers, a fierce new independence was born.

In stark and lonely conditions, a new clarity emerged that was solely my own: by finally taking full responsibility for my own evolution and deeply and honestly inquiring into my own direct experience, a cascade of insights and revelations very quickly resulted in the spiritual transformation I had longed for for so long. Over the course of many months, this new state of being stabilized and became permanent. Everything about my inner and outer life changed in either dramatic or subtle ways. Most significantly, I came home to myself—my own deepest self—and in that, I have found enduring peace, fulfillment, integration and a quiet joy.

Everyday Enlightened Living has emerged from living and investigating this

transformation for the last 25 years and discovering how others can benefit from my

experience without having to go through the same ordeal I did. In exactly the same

way I discovered that true transformation comes from within, I've witnessed my clients awaken to their own inner wisdom when given the right guidance and support.

What I've come to understand with absolute clarity is that each person already

possesses everything they need for their own awakening. My role is not to be another external authority figure, but rather a guide who helps you reconnect with and trust your own innate wisdom—the inner compass that has been there all along, often buried beneath layers of conditioning and external expectations.

Here you will meet yourself: both the clarity, strength, and wisdom that have always been part of you, and also those things that may be in your way: the ideas you’ve inherited, the striving that’s worn thin, and the subtle ways you still wait for something “out there” to make life complete.

This work is about becoming fully yourself— meeting life as it is, and uncovering the clarity and wholeness that’s been there all along. We explore what it means to live in authentic alignment with that knowing — not in theory, but in the everyday moments where truth, integrity and self-trust are either lived or postponed.

When you learn to trust your inner compass and honour your own

direct experience, you too can find the peace, fulfillment and joy that comes from true integration of being.

My greatest joy is witnessing clients reclaim their sovereignty and realise that the teacher they’ve been searching for has always been their own deepest self. This doesn’t deny the value of external guidance, but places it in its rightful place—supporting, not replacing, one’s own inner knowing.

The transformation you seek is already within you, waiting to be recognized. My role is simply to help you clear what’s in the way—so you can hear, trust, and live from the truth that’s always been yours.
