My Journey

Alastair is a dancer, a thinker, a dreamer, a healer and a guide.

Early story and wayfinding

As a child I was always a gentle soul. Adults often reflected back to me that I had unique way with animals. I had a way of calming animals down by being around them. This is perhaps one of the reasons I was sad to go away to boarding school - I loved my family, the farm and the dogs.

I was lucky to be born in an idyllic corner of Norfolk and being young enough to stay out of the challenges of farming and old enough to roam on the farm and go out with my great uncle bird watching. I was sighting crane chicks in Norfolk before there was any public knowledge of their breeding - such was my Great Uncle's ferocious nurturing.

Keeping it wyrd

It is therefore an aim to embrace weirdness and explore with abandon. It is this curiousity driven free exploration that has paved the way for learning about the nature of energy and self and healing.

As a teenager and young adult I found ways to fit in and became quite sociable. This came with plenty of drinking and partying. A combination that wasn't great for my nervous system.

My guilty secret, is that freedom is something that I fear and I have been addicted to things that bond me to my familiar yet trapped life. Like the elephant who is bound by imaginary chain.

I am passionate about exploring new ideas, engaging in creative projects, and connecting with like-minded individuals who inspire growth and innovation in both personal and professional realms

In my bio on the MyoReformation website I wrote about the fact that our words are spells. I also wrote that my intention was to teach Myo. Well only a matter of a couple of weeks after I had touched down in Cape Town and two wiling students had appeared. We really are creating our reality as we speak.

Creating liberate ...

liberate ... is a brand, a community, a vision and a philosophy.

The vision is to be a space that when people interact and connect, then they are met fully and responded to in kindness and faith.

The ... is representative of the infinte possibilites. It is also a reference to the celtic symbol of awen - divine inspiration (the awen symbol also has three rays which are said to represent the changing seasons. You'll have to imagine them...). And also the trilogys of mind, body & spirit and love, wisdom & truth - these all feel like poweful codes from which to build a brand.

The intention is to be a truly holistic space which cares for the whole person, in body, mind and spirit.

All of Alastair's offerings at their core are about supporting people on a path towards freedom.

MyoReformation is about bringing balance and harmony to the body so that it can heal itself, and deep embodiment so that each soul may intimately know his or her body.

Nutrition is about harnessing the power of plants energy. I am a partner of Synergy, I take their supplements and I am grateful for the vitality, health and abundance that they create. I am not an expert in supplements and I am not claiming to be. I am

And the financial freedom offering is something that encompasses so much more than is on the tin.

The word weird comes from the Norse word Wyrd - loosely translating to destiny.

Alastair was introduced to MyoReformation in the UK by a gift of several sessions from his mother, who had experienced amazing results under Jono Goosen.

At the time Alastair was a London tech entrepreneur with an Engineering Masters degree and a bright future, but he had always had a sense that he was disconnected from his purpose. In the end it was a fortuitous redundancy that released him from his role and a commitment to embodiment practices including Men’s Work, Qi Gong and Conscious Dance that helped him to muster the courage to trust and wait.

In between numerous business ideas the memory of MyoReformation appeared with another strong hit of that knowing intuition. Perhaps there was a part of him that knew that the farmer’s son with a natural touch around animals was destined to use his energy in a more direct way.

Some months later with 50 guinea pigs (practice clients – family, friends and Hackney musicians) to thank, he was parking the business ideas and booking a one-way flight to Harare to complete his MyoReformation apprenticeship. Spending 3 months practicing with Jacquie Simpson and testing his skills on the practitioner community assured him that he was indeed exactly where he should be. Most profoundly, meeting tens of thriving patients in Harare left Alastair with a deep belief in the power of the body to heal itself from all manner of suffering. One Myo patient’s comment stuck with him: “when I started Myo I had no idea how unwell I was. And today I can hardly believe that feeling ‘this well’ is even possible”.

Perhaps some of Alastair’s inspiration goes one generation further back. He remembers nursing his grandmother as she suffered the advances of kidney failure brought on by a medical error. Knowing what he has since learned, he can see that the autoimmune issue could have been healed without the risks.

Having received this gift Alastair is motivated to pass it on to those who are ready. He has always enjoyed building communities (including a football team that is thriving in London more than a decade after conception), teaching and coaching, and Alastair’s dream is to pass on the knowledge that was bestowed on him and see Myo touching more lives.

Alastair’s other great vision has been to contribute to rewilding nature. He loves a metaphor and it didn’t take him long to realise that there would be a swoon of great metaphors linking MyoReformation and rewilding. For as long as he can remember, his Instagram profile has read “rewild the earth to heal the people and rewild the people to heal the earth”. Don’t underestimate the power of intention.

Inspiring story! Their qualifications and vision truly resonate with my interests. Highly recommend their services!
