Are you living your life or is your life living you?
Imagine your life – as a river flowing through a landscape, where are you looking at it from? Mostly likely you are you swimming in it, or perhaps sitting by the bank, some might have climbed out to stand high up on a hill and a rare few have a birds eye view from high up. It is difficult to get an overview of our life because mostly we are busy swimming – living it and caught up right in the midst of the story. But what if you could begin to see all of it – where it started, the landscape through which it flowed and where it’s headed? Is it a part of the landscape, dominating the landscape or lost in it?
What is your story about?
Biography work is a way to review your life, to get a deeper understanding of how it flows, turns, where it gets stuck and what you carry from the past into the future. Through this work one is able to get a distance from one’s life and see it as a story you are living out. In the process you become aware of the major themes running through it, the patterns that seem to be repeating, the turning points, gifts, strengths, abilities, tendencies, challenges and tasks. It is a transformative tool for deep self awareness and a broader perspective on your life that can inform the quality of your life by bringing an understanding and appreciation of even the most difficult life events. A sense of ownership and gratitiude for your story persist even after the work is done.
Biography work works best for someone who feels a desire for self reflection and understanding their life journey. This happens naturally at crossroads, turning points and during times of crisis.
Its a learning process with therapeutic side effects through the integration of challenges, difficulties as part of a developmental journey thereby allowing for an acceptance and appreciation of the events, situations and people in your life – the good and the bad.
This is a guided process which takes place over a series of one on one sessions with me, each of which covers a 7 year phase in your life. This is not mere recollection or retelling but a fresh look with a new lens, which can reveal much more wealth and richness in the experiences that shaped you and your outlook.

Exceptional!
“The true gift of Biography work for me was a calm surrender, an irrefutable acceptance of one’s sense of self – with all its strengths and weaknesses. Also perhaps, a sense of commitment to aspects of self that strengthen it, nourish it, cherish it. “

Highly recommend!
“It gives you an insight into you, answer the why’s. It was immensely liberating for me, to read into myself as a main character and understand the why’s. Be curious of the past, it can help your future.”

A different perspective!
“Biography Work makes you revisit your life from so many different levels, I did find my patterns and discovered how I respond to events and was surprised to find quiet strength in myself which was a huge revelation for me”.
