Hello, I’m Neil Parker-Puie

My working life, sporting background and experiences as a father and business owner have taught me the value of discipline, responsibility, integrity, adaptability and practical problem-solving. Over 25 years in business, I’ve learned to work with people from all walks of life, turn my hand to many things and find solutions to everyday challenges.

When Iva and I established Monad Centre of Balance in 2015, I brought these life skills into a new environment, taking on many roles while developing new skills along the way. From setting up and maintaining our spaces, managing the office, coordinating events and welcoming clients, to supporting the shop, staff and daily operations, I’ve worn many hats. I’ve also learned to navigate financial and administrative systems, manage client records and technology, and work alongside our bookkeeper to meet business requirements. Whether as office manager, event coordinator, receptionist or handyman, my role has been to keep things organised, running smoothly and on time.

While Iva’s work centres on healing, teaching and personal support, mine has been about providing the practical foundation that allows her to do that work. Together, we’ve brought our different strengths and experiences into building and sustaining the Centre. Alongside this, my daily meditation, spiritual learning and training in Pranic Healing, therapeutic massage and esoteric practices have deepened my understanding of healing, balance and supporting people in both practical and personal ways.

A Little About Me

Outside the Centre, I enjoy life’s simple pleasures. You’ll often find me tinkering in the shed or tending the garden, where I can put my creativity and practical skills to good use. I enjoy music and podcasts about people, inventions, history and nature, always curious about how things work and what makes life meaningful.

Sport and fitness have always been part of my life. The gym remains a source of renewal, carrying forward the fitness and discipline of my sporting days. When time permits, Iva and I still enjoy hitting the weights together.

I love spending time in nature, walking, camping or simply enjoying quiet mornings in the garden, watching wildlife over a lazy breakfast. Family is my greatest love. Spending time with my children and grandchildren, seeing them follow in my sporting footsteps and carry forward the family business, fills me with joy and pride.

And then there’s Nala, our energetic and vocal mackerel tabby, who brings daily laughter, companionship and a reminder that play is sacred too.

My Philosophy

I believe that balance is built day by day through simple acts of care for family, community and self. Life has taught me the importance of quiet strength, steady optimism and being there for others through both the good and challenging times.

My hope is that the work of Monad Centre continues to inspire others to live with purpose, resilience and joy, creating ripples of wellbeing that extend far beyond our walls.

Together, Iva and I hold the vision of conscious living made real, not as an idea but as a way of being that honours both the practical and the sacred, the grounded and the transcendent.

“True strength is not just what we can lift or achieve, but how steadily we can hold space for others to discover their own wholeness.”

Experience and Qualifications

My working life has taken me through mining, forestry and other industrial environments, working with large companies and across different trades. These experiences developed my adaptability, practical skills and methodical approach to problem-solving, finding simpler and more efficient ways of getting things done.

I later established my own business, drawing on these skills and today, the business continues through my son and grandsons, carrying forward a family legacy.

This experience transferred into the Monad Centre, adapting my skills to business management, administration, technology and the practical needs of running the Centre.
