ABOUT THE GUEST
Andrew Malcolm
Starting my career as a Waterproofing Surveyor doing preservation surveys on some of London’s most prestigious properties such as Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, Kensington Palace, The Royal Mint and Kensington Palace to name a few. After the birth of my daughter, I decided that I needed much more time to dedicate to being a father who was present in her life, so I decided to start a Landscaping company whereby I carried out all the estimating and designing and enlisted Sub-Contractors to carry out the work. I ended up with some 25 men completing projects for me.
At this time I started my own healing path through attending Psychotherapy sessions on a regular basis and this ignited my passion for understanding the human psyche on all levels. I began reading every book I could find on every modality of healing and this led me onto the work of Alexander Lowen whose work described how painful emotions are manifested in bodily symptoms and how vibrant health could be achieved by releasing these emotions. This fascinated me so much that for many years I explored various types of bodywork and somatic release work eventually leading me to my training and becoming a fully qualified practitioner of Structural Integration.
My recent years have been spent attending various retreats and Shamanic Ceremonies. This is where I met a teacher of “The Transformational Healing Process” After having a few sessions with my teacher I was astounded as to how much personal progress I was making so quickly so I just had to do the training in this method.
Carrying out THP sessions with my clients brings me so much joy as I see clients progress so quickly. I feel totally aligned with this work.
Some of my training:
Certified Preservation Surveyor, Swedish Massage, Visceral Manipulation, Structural Integration, Trigger Point Therapy, Mind Befriender, Running Techniques, Transformational Healing Process.

RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE
Chapter 63 Tao Te Ching
Tao Te Ching - Lao Tzu - Chapter 63
Practice non-action.
Work without doing.
Taste the tasteless.
Magnify the small, increase the few.
Reward the bitterness with care.
See simplicity in the complicated.
Achieve greatness in little things.
In the universe the difficult things are done as if they are easy.
In the universe great acts are made up of small deeds.
The sage does not attempt anything very big,
And thus achieves greatness.
Easy promises make for little trust.
Taking things lightly results in great difficulty.
Because the sage always confronts difficulties,
He never experiences them.
