About Toby

For the last 30 years I have been helping individuals and companies manage stress, improve their concentration, and gain greater clarity of their business and personal goals through meditation. It has been a joy and a privilege to watch people grow and reach their full potential. From high achievers looking to manage stress or change their career path, to retirees looking for greater peace of mind, meditation always improves your experience of life.

It certainly improved mine…

In my late teens, poor life choices took their toll on my psychological health resulting in depression, anxiety, and panic attacks.

As a young male, it was hard to express my feelings to anyone at the time. The only temporary comfort I experienced was through drugs and alcohol but that didn’t solve any long term problems. In fact, it made it worse, for great highs are followed by great lows, and I soon found my life spiralling out of control. I knew I had to sort myself out, but I didn’t know how. The future just felt like a dark hole waiting to swallow me up.

But one day I came across a book on meditation. I read the back cover: ‘Inner peace, confidence, and clarity of your life’s purpose’…everything I was missing in my life at the time.

And so out of both curiosity and desperation, I bought the book and promised myself that I would follow whatever was written until I began to feel normal again.

And that is where my new story began…

Within 3 months of practicing meditation, everything in my life changed. The anxiety and depression completely disappeared, and my confidence returned. I got promoted at work, made many new friends, and became very clear about my life purpose: to teach meditation and help others overcome what I had been through. 

Having spent 7 years attending meditation courses and retreats in London, I moved to Thailand in 1998 to further my studies in Eastern philosophy, meditation and Chinese medicine. 

As my knowledge grew, I began to receive invites from some of the most well-respected health and wellness resorts worldwide, including Aman, Chivas Som, and Ananda Himalayas, to support and work with their guests.

It became apparent to me that stress was a huge problem in the modern-day workplace and that few people were equipped with the tools to manage it. 

So I began to run retreats and workshops in London, Portugal, Switzerland and Thailand for executives and management teams.

My clients have now included billionaires, Hollywood actors and TV presenters, royal family members, professional athletes, company executives, business owners and adults struggling to find greater meaning in their lives as they adjust to retirement. 

So, if you are looking to find more meaning to life, greater peace of mind or ways to reach your full potential, then I am here to help and support you.
