“My favourite movie has always been Frank Capra’s ‘It’s a wonderful life’. I am not really sure why, especially as it always makes me cry. However, despite the tears, it’s a movie that always makes me feel good about life.
If you haven’t seen it, It’s a Wonderful Life tells the story of a man who has everything but is always looking for something else. In the end, just when he thinks he has lost everything he is shown just how wonderful his life has been.

I didn’t think my life was particularly wonderful either. I felt trapped in my job, weighed down by my mortgage and pretty unfulfilled by what I had achieved in my 40 years on this spinning planet.
An ongoing battle with depression kept me firmly on the glass half full side of life and despite a solid career, a fantastic wife and two amazing children I felt my life was far from wonderful.
My brother Ady, who in many ways has a pretty wonderful life, without realising it, changed my life forever.
He introduced me to Brian McCready. Brian is a sports psychologist and a remarkably genuine man. Brian introduced me to a whole new way of thinking about my existence which set me on the path to creating the Wonderful Life Academy.
Through Brian I met Geoff Thompson a truly inspirational human being and just being in the company of these people opened my awareness to a completely different view on life.
Several years of studying and self development has cemented together the psychology, the spirituality and the science that allowed me to create a Wonderful Life.
The Academy brings together a combination of coaching techniques with NLP (Neuro linguistic Programming) and a heavy dose of positive attitude to empower any individual to make the most of the abundant energy all around us. Harnessing this energy will allow you to improve your Well-Being, be the best you can be and create your own Wonderful Life.
