RECLAIM YOUR UNIQUE MAGIC

Your Power Was Never Lost.
Just Waiting To Be Reclaimed.

I’m a coach, mentor and retreat facilitator with 14+ years of experience working with gay men. My work blends body-focused coaching, mentoring and therapy to meet you where you are, help you see what’s really going on beneath the surface, and support you to reconnect with your innate power, purpose and passion.

Work With Me

MY work

A Safe Space To Come Home To Yourself

Each session or workshop is an honest, confidential space where you can pause and listen to what your body (and your life) are trying to tell you.

Through conversation, energy and movement, I guide you out of your head and into your body, where you can connect with the aliveness and intelligence that has always been there.

Together, we explore the stories and patterns that have shaped your current reality, then use simple yet profound tools - breath, movement, visualisation and awareness - to shift them.

Client Love

“Working with Ed feels nourishing and even exciting. During one session, we did a series of visualisations which were incredibly powerful and helped me to unlock and let go of a great weight I had been carrying since childhood. I felt so much lighter: it was an enormous relief.”
— Jonny Benjamin MBE, London
“Ed’s approach explores both the emotional and physical aspects, helping you gain a deeper understanding of yourself — especially the connection between body & mind. He helped me consistently process my thoughts, ground myself, and become more present and mindful.”
— Mario C, Malta
“I found Ed’s process to be unique in his combination of the questions that he asks and the exercises we did, involving relaxation and imagination. Certain questions were answered, or I got closer to the answers.”
— Harry Redlich, USA
“What I’ve gained is a path towards radical self-acceptance. I worry less, overthink less, and feel more playful, expressive and at ease with who I am — knowing I’m always evolving, and that’s okay.”
— Andrew Vernon, UK

THE Method

5 Key Pillars

My practice is rooted in 5 key ‘Magic’ pillars, on which we draw during every session:

Movement: tapping into the power and wisdom of your body through movement and embodiment.

Aliveness: rekindling your aliveness and vitality through your daily choices, exercise, food, and alignment with what lights you up.

Genius: discovering and owning your natural gifts, talents and purpose, and bringing them to life.

Intuition: understanding your unique energy and guiding system, and how to navigate life in your own unique way.

Creativity: how to weave all the elements together to create a next chapter full of purpose, connection and vitality

WHO AM I?

From Mayhem to Magic: My Journey from Lost to Fulfilled

I grew up as an awkward, closeted gay kid in rural France, always feeling like I didn’t quite fit. For years, I tried to outrun that discomfort, hopping from city to city in search of something I couldn’t quite name.

In 2009, I landed in London and became a personal trainer, channelling my energy into helping others transform their bodies, while still hiding so much of myself.

Then came the diagnosis. HIV. A moment that cracked everything open. What followed were some of the darkest years of my life: addiction, isolation, and a deep well of depression I didn’t know how to climb out of. But slowly, the healing began.

That journey led me beyond the gym and into the body in a deeper way. I trained as a body-based coach and became a certified Core Energetics therapist. Along the way, I discovered something profound: many of the gay men I worked with were holding similar feelings: unprocessed struggle, hidden beneath achievement, sarcasm, perfectionism, or silence.

WHO AM I?

In 2014, I founded The Thrive Foundation, a social enterprise supporting people living with HIV in London. But the real shift came when I stopped trying to fix or prove anything, and started listening to what my body and energy were really trying to tell me.

In 2015, I moved to Crete, where I now live with my husband, sound therapist, artist and DJ extraordinaire Rob Sykes - my beloved partner in life and in work - and our dogs Helios and Plutonas.

In 2022, we created Find Your Magic Retreats, fun and exhilarating retreat-adventures in Crete where gay men can reconnect with their bodies and aliveness, experience true brotherhood, and rekindle their joy and their trust.

I’m also an avid photographer and videographer, specialising in personal portraits and retreat photography with the Find Your Magic Studio.
