Ian Watson began studying homeopathy, herbs and flower essences as a teenager in his native West Yorkshire. He subsequently trained and graduated from the College of Homeopathy in London in 1988, where his teachers included Robert Davidson, Robin Murphy and Ken Metson. 

He ran a busy group practice in Kendal, Cumbria for many years and became established as a lecturer at various homeopathic schools in the UK and overseas. He co-founded The Lakeland College in 1993 which he ran together with Anne Waters until 2003. He wrote and published four books including A Guide to the Methodologies of Homeopathy and The Tao of Homeopathy.

Ian has a lifelong interest in personal transformation, and he studied and practised a wide variety of psychological and emotional healing disciplines from 2002 onwards. These included Journey Process work, Emotional Freedom Technique, Shen Physio-emotional Release Therapy, Jungian psychology, Byron Katie work and Hakomi technique. 

In 2011 he was introduced to the Three Principles paradigm developed by Sydney Banks, and this psycho-spiritual understanding has been the foundation of his work ever since.

He has been invited to share his understanding in schools, with healthcare professionals and in companies including Samsung, Discovery Channel and the Pret Foundation. Whilst no longer offering individual homeopathic consultations, Ian continues to support students and practitioners in learning how to practice with ease and confidence. He describes his work as Transformational Education, and has a particular interest in helping people to uncover their own innate wellbeing and wisdom.
