About the author

Miguel was born in 1968 in Colchester, England. He had a challenging start to life which included the death of his mother from cancer when he was only seven months old. As a result of his early difficulties, as a young man, he spiraled down into a life of violence, petty crime, addiction and homelessnes in which he spent seven years living on the road as a New Age Traveler. It was the love of his new born son that inspired and motivated him to begin to take responsibility and make changes. This was the beginning of a rich and varied and at times extremely challenging journey to return to healing and wholeness. Some of the more recent challenges that he faced and overcame include, divorce, illness and addiction. As a very experiential learner Miguel was forced to develop a high sense of self-awareness which served him in setting his course and navigating his way home.
For the last twenty years he has been immersed in the ‘twin paths’ of healing and transformation which can be summarized as an inner journey to heal his own wounds, facilitated and complimented by his contribution to the service of others and spiritually rooted social change. He worked for many years with homeless before progressing into the education sector where he designed, wrote and delivered courses to empower disadvantaged youth and the staff who worked with them. But eventually he became disillusioned with the constraints of the colleges where he worked and for the last ten years he has been immersed in the world of self-employment as an author, poet, speaker and facilitator.
Miguel has now evolved into a profoundly effective catalyst for change in the marriage of the divine twin flame masculine and feminine within adults. His intuitive- sensitive nature and honest, authentic and open heartedness are amongst the gifts he has to share. His writing and other offerings are all in alignment with his passion to serve and ease the transition, from what no longer serves humanity and the planet, into a more beautiful world for our children and the generations to come.

Miguel opens himself up about his difficult childhood, relationships and struggles with life and at times his words are so honest and raw. He shows us that despite being shut down from an early age, with a lot of work it is possible to drop into our hearts and be connected to ourselves and others. This is a story of hope
