HELLO, HOLA, BONJOUR & G’DAY
First of all, thank you for stopping by. My name is Oli and I am sure you would love to hear about who I am and how I got to where I am today in order to be opening my home to help others? The question is, how long do you have and have you put the kettle on? I will try and give you the short version and maybe we can share the long version in person.
I was a normal kid, born to two beautiful and amazing parents who gave me the best childhood I could ever wish for. In 2018, I would finally place the last piece of my life’s jigsaw in the right place to get the last two answers that were imploding on one half of my brain. Those were…Who am I, and why am I here?
Up to 2017, I had a successful career in Hospitality. I owned three cocktail bars, one of which had just won the 8th-best cocktail bar in the UK. I consulted on 3 Olympic Games as well as the British Royal wedding in 2011. I was also asked to consult for the King and Queen of Jordan….Not forgetting the time I made iced tea for Mohamed Ali. If you are reading this, you may wonder, how on earth is your life terrible?!
You see, In 2017 I burnt out in spectacular fashion. I struggled to block out my mind’s internal monologue, which then manifested spectacularly off the back of depression and anxiety. I was a workaholic who was hellbent on recognition and found a way to anchor people pleasing into my professional career. Stuck on a hamster wheel of misfortune , life was delivering me no gracious favours. One wheel, one speed, one monotonous life! The motion was forward, the speed was fast and as I felt I had no direction to turn, but the big kicker was that the pivotal arm keeping everything in place could snap any day, and with it, my life!
All I wanted was a place to go where I could work on myself and gain just a little insight into why I do the things I do, why i think the things i think? Sadly, this place did not exist. Nor, did I have enough money for a rehabilitation clinic, and the physicians I was reluctant to see offered me what seemed like a band-aid for a lost limb. Having tried various support groups, I struggled to connect with collective rhetoric on many levels. I knew that my mental dependencies weren’t the real issue and that this was something far more deep-rooted and linked to mental health, so I literally felt like I had nowhere to turn. The funny thing was that I had the best upbringing and the most loving parents anyone could ever ask for, so why on earth did I feel so disconnected from everyone and everything?
There was only one place I hadn’t looked, and that was deep inside myself!
All the answers to all of our problems lie within us we are just unable to access them. The only issue we have is that we struggle to gain the correct, authentic and congruent answers because we have this very intricate thing called ‘The Mind’. Lying at the epicentre of our ‘cortisol cockpit’ we have our ‘fight or flight’. The mind is constantly looking to protect you as it doesn’t think you can protect yourself, and it has a pretty good time doing so. Therefore, anytime you try and work through any issues in life, guess who is going to be the one to answer those mighty big questions? That’s right , not you, but your mind! Hence why addiction exists, ego exists, obesity you name it, all thanks to ‘The Mind’,
I embarked on a journey to correlate existing research from mental health and addiction and try to work out why it was failing on such a large scale and how is this world able to fall apart so quickly in front of our eyes? It seemed that everyone was kind of coping before 2020, and then Covid happened and then suddenly, holy fuck this thing turned into the worst rollercoaster known to man.
The good news was that I didn’t have to look too far and my own research took on a whole new world all of its own with amazing and profound results. This journey I love to share with all of my guests and clients and I will look forward to sharing them with you one day in the near future.
Please do not hesitate to reach out and drop me a message. Even if the Renaissance Sanctuary is not for you, I still maybe able to help point you in the right direction or offer some insight into next steps that may be of interest to you.
Stay safe
Regards

The Renaissance Sanctuary runs 7 days a week and is a full-time ‘working’ space. Each day we focus on framework sessions using THE INTERREGNUM PROCESS™ culminating in you having all the knowledge and tools to navigate you steadily through life and any key decision-making processes that the future may hold.
From January 2022, once a month, sessions will be available in Andalucia, Spain. Giving you an extra option to get away from the UK should you reside here. Allowing you to get back to nature in the Andalucian mountains and absorb all the energy that Monda holds with its powerful ley-line.
If for whatever reason you feel put off by any of the content or its holistic nature, then my heart goes out to you. Life is hard but it really doesn’t have to be. Life is in fact the EASIEST thing on this planet, we just make it hard. Our values and beliefs are often all we have as protection from external sources. Our mind uses these beliefs as a way to make quick and calculated decisions in life. What if the one thing we rely on the most has been wrong all along?
Having an open mind is key to growing in life. If your desire to change, REALLY is greater than the desire to remain the same? Then The Renaissance Sanctuary is for you. All I want to do is to show you how to make life easier so that you can smile and be grateful for all that you have, even if you personally feel like the loneliest soul on the planet.
You are an amazing human being. No life is wasteless or wantless. My aim is to help people find their life purpose and contentment from within. If I can find mine then I am pretty sure I can help you find yours.
I look forward to working with you.
Love, Light & Blessings
