About Craig
My work sits where lived experience, contemplative practice, and grounded presence meet.
I support people moving through spiritual opening, inner change, uncertainty, or transition—particularly when something deeper has begun to reveal itself, but everyday life still feels tender, unclear, or difficult to settle into.
At its heart, this work is about meeting your own experience with greater clarity, steadiness, and trust.
My background
For more than 18 years, I have worked across property, facilities, operations, and leadership roles in New Zealand. This has included public venues, healthcare environments, heritage buildings, and complex infrastructure portfolios.
That work required calm decision-making, practical problem-solving, personal responsibility, and the ability to work with people and complex situations under pressure. It gave me a strong grounding in the realities of everyday life.
Alongside my professional career, spiritual, contemplative, and healing practice has shaped my life for more than 15 years.
Together, these paths have influenced how I listen, relate, and support people today: with openness and intuition, but also steadiness, discernment, and practical awareness.
Spiritual, Contemplative & Healing Practice
My personal path has included meditation, retreat, pilgrimage, and time in contemplative communities across New Zealand, India, Nepal, Indonesia, and the United Kingdom.
Within Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism, my practice has included Mahamudra teachings and transmission received from Tai Situ Rinpoche, as well as teachings from Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. These have supported an emphasis on awareness, compassion, and direct experience.
Non-duality has been an important part of my spiritual path, including the exploration of consciousness, awareness, and self-realisation. Spiritual awakening and questions around enlightenment have also shaped this journey, alongside the influence of teachers including Adyashanti, Rupert Spira, and Eckhart Tolle.
Embodied practice has included long-term Qi Gong, taught by Peter Caughey, and a personal yoga practice, supporting a grounded relationship with the body and everyday experience. I have also completed mindfulness teacher training within a Zen-based tradition.
Healing has developed alongside this contemplative path through Reiki, spiritual healing, kinesiology, intuitive energy work, and awareness of the relationship between emotional, physical, and inner experience.
I do not rely on one fixed method. These different areas of experience inform how I listen and respond to each person and situation.
A little more personally
Outside of sessions, my life has been shaped by meditation, nature, mountains, ocean sailing, scuba diving, travel, retreat, relationships, and ordinary working life.
Like most people, my path has included change, uncertainty, responsibility, and challenge as well as spiritual practice. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for presence, compassion, perspective, and meeting life as it unfolds.
I value simplicity, sincerity, stillness, and the quiet intelligence of the heart.
