Diane holds a Master’s degree in the Philosophy of Consciousness from the University of Buckingham and graduated with Distinction from Alef Trust in Transpersonal Psychology.

Her background is in alternative education. She founded a primary school in Los Angeles and a secondary school in Aberdeen, Scotland, with a focus on creativity, critical thinking, and whole-person development.

She has also undertaken recent training in the Ethics of AI with the London School of Economics and is a member of the International Association of Safe & Ethical AI (IASEAI), further deepening her understanding of the relationship between emerging technologies, consciousness, and human development.

Bringing these strands together, she is the author of Digital Socrates, which explores the integration of artificial intelligence, education, and expanded states of consciousness.

Her work explores how humanity can develop the capacity to navigate such states with clarity, ethics, and insight, bridging science and spirituality through a rigorous, experiential approach to human development, with particular emphasis on The Seven Transpersonal Stages and The concept of Transpersonal Intelligence.
