The Soul Mentor
About Adrian
Adrian has been hailed as the greatest healer of his generation. Over the last 32 years, he has successfully healed over 23000 humans and animals and has authored over a dozen books on healing and energy work. He has held weekly or monthly clinics in many locations around the world, including London, Dublin, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Madrid and Paris. He is passionate about helping others, and his work is characterised by a tremendous sense of purpose and love.
He isn't just another healer. His breadth of understanding and wisdom is almost breathtaking, and his ability to know what is needed is truly remarkable. He will express ideas and concepts you have never heard before. Most people in this sphere tend to work in the same way, from the same place, saying the same things and with similar philosophies. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Of course not. But it's now time for a new approach to healing and spiritual work. It's time for a new paradigm for a new millennium.
Adrian is different. Very different.
He is honest about what he knows and what he doesn't know. But what he knows is often completely new, and unlike anything you've heard before.
He says
"The whole way healing is taught is wrong. The way healers approach the art has been incorrect for centuries. The more the healer gets in the way of the healing, the less healing can happen. And does healing 'flow' through the healer from an external source? I think that is doubtful. Rather, it likely originates from our own divine source, whatever we perceive the divine to be, and most likely all we are doing is reconnecting the client with their own divinity.
As a healer and spiritual mentor, I should be saying things my clients and students have never heard before. I don't want to rehash the same old concepts and use the same old words. Those ideas are tired. If we want to stay in the past, we can read the books of the old masters and stay comfortable in our conceits. But what is the point in standing on the shoulders of giants if we aren't prepared to leave them behind and launch ourselves forward?
The masters of the past didn't give us their knowledge so we could hang onto it and become paralysed. They built on the work of their masters and we must do the same. We owe it to them to grow and show we have dared to move forward. In this new millennium, we can find a new way.
When I teach healing, people tell me they can now throw away all their books and manuals on healing. They realise none of them are needed anymore. When I mentor on spiritual paths and processes, they say the same again. They are inspired. Empowered.
When we read spiritual books, from the bible onwards, we see the touch of man. We see the limited perspectives of limited people, masquerading as the word of God. Hierarchies, judgements and fantasy, wrapped in myths and fairytales. But each of us is greater than that, and through healing work and spiritual practice, we can each connect with our divinity and be all we choose to be.
Healing is easy. Perhaps the easiest thing any of us can ever do. Forget secret symbols, chakras, meridians and prayers. The map is NEVER the territory. Healing should be played at, like a child would play. With immersion and belief, but with a lightness of touch and a joy. Healing is a beautiful thing, but never a hard or difficult activity. We don't need drums and rattles, we don't need crystals and oils. We pretend, we play, and we find joy and certainty in the healing process. And people heal.
If your healer or spiritual mentor is only repeating what you have heard before or is rehashing old lines and concepts, it is time to accept you have outgrown them. The world has outgrown them. Be courageous and move forward. Be prepared to be challenged and don't seek comfortably held truths. Be real. Be fearless. Seek out discomfort. Seek the truth"
Adrian has been compared to Alan Watts, or perhaps more intriguingly, he has been described as the new Osho. A new Osho for the 21st century. A new paradigm for the new millennium. The new voice amongst voices.
Listen to him.

Teaching.......
The great American jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk has been quoted as saying, “A genius is one who is most like himself.” By that standard, Monk was an undisputed genius. He has long been revered for his unique improvisational style. He was decades ahead of most of his contemporaries. The musician's musician. For me, Monk was the first pianist who made me hear the space around the notes as well as the notes themselves.
Monk was a musical genius almost beyond compare. And that's what I want for you. Don't follow the old path. Don't rehash. Don't copy. Improvise. I want you to see the space around the notes. I want you to be "most like yourself". You don't need to copy anyone. You DO need to embody the healing and become the healing, just as Monk became the music. Be the notes, be the healing, and be the spaces in between.
Hear those spaces. Listen to the silence.
It sounds terrifying. Where is the structure? Where are the techniques? Where are the rules? But remember, when you become the healing, everything is a technique. You make the rules. You break the rules. You are the healing. You are the genius.
The healing is found in the spaces in-between.
If in doubt - be more Monk
Be free
THAT is healing!"
The Jounalist's View
I'm a journalist for a leading Sunday newspaper in the UK. I interviewed Adrian in 2019, intending to use my leverage and connections to make a TV programme about him and his work. I had interest from several well-known companies, and I persuaded him to give me his time in the hope that we could pull all the strands together.
I came to know of Adrian when a dear friend took her baby to see him at a clinic in London. Herdaughter, Stella, had severe gastric reflux and a hole in the heart. Both required operations to repair them. Doctors decided they would wait until she was at least 12 months old before operating, so until then, my friend was told to do her best to keep her daughter comfortable. This was difficult, as she was vomiting constantly and struggled to gain any weight. In desperation, after a recommendation, she took Stella to see Adrian. After the first session, the vomiting stopped. It stopped before the family had even returned home. That was incredible in itself, as the vomiting had been almost hourly, every day, for six months. Three more sessions followed over three weeks, and then Stella returned to her specialist for a check-up. Both the gastric reflux AND the hole in the heart were gone. Completely healed. The consultant said there was no sign of either problem having existed. She said she was "flabbergasted"
Seven years later, Stella is a happy and healthy little girl, full of energy and joy. Her parents are enormously grateful to Adrian for his help. Nobody doubts Adrian's work directly led to her astonishing recovery, and that includes the medical professionals who worked closely with the family during her first six months.
I knew I had to meet him.
Adrian is an unusual man. I say that with genuine love and affection. At first meeting, he seems very ordinary. He is a high-level martial artist with a keen intellect and curiosity for the world around him. Fit and strong, he's in his 50s but looks younger. A good-looking man. But there is no real hint of what lies beneath. It's when you look at his eyes, that you realise he is something out of the ordinary. There is a great depth of love, compassion and knowing in those eyes. They sparkle, but they are unlike any other eyes I have seen. They are......unusual.
When one speaks to Adrian, he has a soft, measured voice. And again, he seems quite normal. But as soon as one turns to the subject of healing, spirituality or the depths and breadths of the human condition, he becomes someone else altogether. I'd heard it said that his eyes change, and it's true. They appear to switch on or become deeper. It's hard to describe, even by someone who makes her living by words. In an instant, he is talking with enormous depth and understanding. His intuition and knowing are off the scale. He just seems to know everything. He introduced concepts that I've never considered and gave me an entirely new way of looking at things in my own life. He turned things onto their heads and cut through the rubbish I'd been telling myself about a problem I'd been having, and quite honestly, in a few sentences, he changed my life.
Adrian also told me things about my early life. He told me about an event when I was four years old, that nobody outside of my family knows. He described it in detail. He accurately described another event when I was twelve years old. He also accurately described and assessed a complex relationship I had whilst at university, and then related it to current events, and explained how all these things interacted and manifested, and how they informed my understanding of myself. I've had counselling and psychotherapy for five years, yet he was able to explain everything in three minutes. And all in the course of a normal conversation, without being prompted. His ability is spellbinding.
I've reported from war zones, I have met the great and the good, and I have interviewed all sorts of people, both good and bad. I have investigated corrupt politicians, film stars and sports people. Journalism and filmmaking has been my life. But I have never met anyone like Adrian.
I introduced my husband to Adrian because I wanted a second opinion. My husband is an atheist, a sceptic and as hardnosed and dismissive as anyone I've ever met. He is also a medical doctor. He was equally impressed. He described Adrian as a "remarkable man with abilities beyond anything I thought possible".
In summary, I want to emphasise that Adrian is one of the most quiet, unassuming and gentle people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He seems such an ordinary man. Kind, compassionate and sensitive, but ordinary. Very ordinary. And then something happens, and he is the most profound, spiritual and frankly impressive human being I have ever met.
Adrian joked that people had called him the 'New Osho", but he felt that he was just the "boring old Adrian". I can assure him, and anyone reading this, that he is far from boring, and perhaps even comparing him to Osho is underselling his ability, presence and talent.
Adrian ultimately turned down the opportunity to have a documentary made about him, feeling it wasn't the right time for him. I hope in the future he will reconsider this decision. I want the world to know about him.
