Richard Lister is a trained nurse, educator, coach, meditation practitioner, yoga teacher, Ayurvedic therapist, massage therapist, author, educator, public speaker, fire walking instructor and all-round awesome human. He's worked with people in clinical and domestic settings since the early 2000s, and is passionate about self-determination and using the skills that you have within you to become the best-ever version of yourself. He chose to leave nursing when he had a breakdown from the sheer volume of human suffering that he encountered, alongside not having good coping strategies. That's why he developed Radical Rest and the umbrella practice of Medicine for Modern Times.
