My
path to establishing Paul Baker and Company began at public school where
I became aware of how unfair life was and decided that I would rather
be helping people than exploiting them.
At art college I became distracted by hang gliding. At that time you could
only buy a kit, so it was a case of reading the manual and then just doing
it! My friends and I (through luck and talent) taught ourselves how to
fly and eventually started the UK's first official hang gliding school
and developed ways of teaching people both safely and quickly.
Deciding to also do something down to earth I became involved with gardening.
I was shocked to discover the degree to which most gardeners were fighting
nature rather than working in harmony with it. I studied permaculture
and became more concerned about environmental issues as a result.
Back problems
led me to explore a number of disciplines, including Alexander Technique,
which I studied to become a qualified teacher.
I also explored Neuro Linguistic Programming and qualified as a practitioner.
Later, I did both the Master Practitioner and NLP Trainer courses and,
as a progression, studied DBM (Developmental Behavioural Modelling) for
a number of years. I also qualified as an instructor in the Sedona Method
and became a professional hypnotherapist, passing exams with the Academy
of Curative Hypnotherapists.
Now, with a growing number of talented and like-minded individuals, through
Paul Baker and Company, I'm drawing all of my experience, expertise and
enthusiasm together to benefit people in a directed and effective manner.
