About Me

Make the move to optimal wellbeing

Hi, I’m Rich. Based in beautiful Currumbin Valley on the Gold Coast, I teach Vedic Meditation to people of all walks of life. I’ve been meditating for close to 20 years, and in that time I’ve blended this 5000-year-old Vedic technique with modern science to help people genuinely shift their stress and transform wellbeing.

Alongside teaching, I’ve completed my Honours degree in Psychological Science, where my thesis explored the relationship between stress, the respiratory system, and wellbeing. This scientific grounding, combined with decades of personal practice, means the way I teach is both deeply traditional and rooted in science and relatable.

My approach is simple, practical, and grounded. No trends, no forcing the mind – just a timeless technique backed by modern research that improves sleep, lowers stress, and builds greater calm, clarity, and resilience.

I feel genuinely humbled to share this tradition and to support people on their wellbeing journey. If this resonates, I’d love to connect – feel free to reach out or schedule a chat.

Why Vedic Meditation could be your perfect path.

No matter where you’re starting from, Vedic Meditation offers a time-tested, science-supported path to greater ease and clarity. Here’s how it can benefit you:

Ease Stres, Anxiety and Restore Balance:

Vedic Meditation naturally soothes the nervous system, reduces stress hormones, and brings your mind and body back into a state of natural balance.

  • Promote cellular health: By lowering stress, Vedic Meditation supports healthier cellular function and may contribute to long-term vitality.
  • Reduce disease risk: Consistent practice is linked to lower inflammation and can help reduce the risk of stress-related illnesses like cardiovascular disease.
  • Enhance overall longevity: Meditation practices like this have been associated with longevity benefits, promoting a longer, healthier life by reducing chronic stress load.

Enhance Mental Clarity and Performance:

By providing a simple, effortless way to rest the mind, this practice enhances focus, cognitive performance, and overall mental clarity.

  • Improve cognitive function: Regular Vedic Meditation has been shown to enhance attention, working memory, and mental processing efficiency.
  • Boost productivity and decision-making: By reducing mental fatigue and increasing prefrontal cortex functioning, it supports clearer thinking and better daily performance
  • Strengthen emotional regulation: Meditation improves activity in brain regions linked to calm focus, helping you stay centred and effective under pressure.

Cultivate Holistic Wellbeing and Resilience:

Vedic Meditation builds emotional resilience, supports deeper sleep, and fosters a sustainable sense of wellbeing in everyday life.

  • Improve sleep quality: Vedic Meditation reduces hyperarousal in the nervous system, helping you fall asleep more easily and stay asleep longer.
  • Lift mood and emotional wellbeing: Regular practice increases serotonin and strengthens brain networks linked with positive mood and psychological stability.
  • Build long-term resilience: By lowering baseline stress load and improving autonomic balance, meditation enhances your ability to adapt and stay centred through life’s challenges.

Dear Rich.
You were a life saver and thank you so much. All little ways of helping me meditate without having too much distractions going through my mind. I have put it all to practice and still do meditate twice a day. I must say it has been a life changer for me and I feel so much calmer and at peace.

Lily

I am so grateful to have embedded Vedic Meditation into my daily life.  It has now been (almost) 12 months since I did the course with you, and it has, without a doubt, helped me to navigate my insanely busy lifestyle.  I do my absolute best, every day, to incorporate a morning and evening 20 minute meditation as I now understand, feel and appreciate the benefits.
