Jamie McConochie

I grew up in Hertfordshire, England. I started this life with questions, feeling from an early age that there was more to that which we can see with our physical eyes.  During my gap year before university I spent a few months travelling in India picking up little hints to the answers for my questions.  I studied in London where I gained my BSc (hons) in Psychology.  It was during this time that I discovered a small monastery in the rural backwaters of Wales, which seemed to embody everything that I was searching for.  Consequently upon completing my university degree I went to live there where I became a monk for the next 11 years.  Throughout the course of these years I discovered the answers to many of my questions and the path to continue unravelling the mysteries of existence.  Eventually I realised that I still had unfulfilled dreams in the outside world so I left with the monastery’s blessing and came to Spain to begin the next phase of my life.

From my experiences in the monastery and with my background in psychology I knew I wanted to do something that involved helping people to lead fulfilling lives. Part of my role in the monastery had been to help people overcome their inner fears and boundaries to realise their true potential. I wanted to find some way of continuing that within the context of everyday life in this outside world. I wanted to be able to help normal people discover and tap into their inner power to become exceptional individuals.

To fulfill this desire I enrolled with the International Coaching Academy, where I am presently nearing the completion of the Certified Professional Coach Program.
