Before this
I trained in HR and systemics, how groups behave, how fear moves through a culture, how institutions shape the people inside them. I spent some time in corporate conflict negotiation.
Then I got tired of it. I moved to Paris. I started acting. I was good. I trained, I worked, I made a living.
But I wasn't great...
Sitting in audition rooms, I kept seeing something nobody could explain. Every actor I knew shut down at the exact moment they should have come alive. Fear turned up precisely where the passion was meant to be.
Except one. An actress who was part of the studio I trained in. She started as a child actor and never stopped. She'd walk in and it was an explosion of life, effortless, more interesting than any trained actor in the room.
Not because she'd learned more. Because she'd lost less.
That broke the whole thing open. You can't learn how to act. Acting is the art of being fully alive. You were born that way. You just lost it. The only way back is to undo what was put into you without your consent. It wasn't an acting problem. It was a human one.
Finding my way back
So, I went back to my systemics training and started looking for what acting had missed...The original instinct and I started to uncover it, I tested it on myself first, then friends, then a wider circle of working artists. The pattern held every time. The free instrument was still there. It had been covered, not destroyed.
That was more than 25 years ago. Somatic practice, breathwork, voice, energy work, kinetic work, EFT, neural rewiring, psychadelic journeying. The work isn't built on a method, it's built on whatever actually returns a person to themselves. New neural pathways take twenty to thirty days to form; the Reset runs for thirty-three. It's what your nervous system needs for it to stick. Even under pressure.
All of it eventually became the Reset Journey, a daily journey that gives anyone the time and the structure to do what I first did privately on myself.
