How it happens
Through Connection:
journeys to amazing places

1:1 sessions
online courses
mentorship
writings
trainings
energetic coherence within and externally
Wherever you find yourself, I'm glad you've arrived here.
Perhaps we'll meet in a retreat, around a cup of cacao, through mentoring, or simply within the pages of a book.
However our paths cross, I hope this space reminds you of something you've always known:
You are beautiful in your truth.
.


My why
One of the many things I've noticed over almost six decades on this planet is that life keeps asking us to change.
What once felt comfortable no longer fits.
Sometimes life changes around us. Sometimes something deep within begins to whisper that we can no longer stay where we are.
The way we are doing things is just not working anymore.
Someone wise once said that the only permanence in life is impermanence.
Everything living changes.
Everything living dies.
I have come to believe that we are here to experience life in all its complexity.
Our experiences shape us. They invite us to grow, to soften, to question, to begin again. While we don't always choose what happens, we do have choice in how we meet what life places before us.
Over the years, I have come to believe that one of the greatest gifts we can offer another human being is to witness them fully: to listen without judgement, to honour the truth of their experience, and to create a space where they feel safe enough to simply be.
Life asks enormous courage of us.
The courage to speak about what hurts.
The courage to acknowledge where we have caused hurt.
The courage to move through guilt and shame.
The courage to leave something that appears beautiful from the outside, but no longer honours who we are becoming.
The courage to endure, when we don't know how we can.
Sometimes we are asked to walk through separation from a partner, family or children. Sometimes through grief, illness or the unexpected knowledge that life will not unfold as we imagined.
In those moments, what matters most is that we feel heard and seen within out experience.
It is someone willing to walk beside us.
With presence.
With compassion.
Without judgement.
With the quiet understanding that every threshold we cross is part of becoming more deeply the truth of who we are.
This is why I do what I do....Creating a myriad of different spaces where people can meet themselves with greater honesty, kindness and courage, and in doing so, rediscover what it means to be in right relationship with themselves, each other and the living world.
My story
I work with people through thresholds, because sometimes we need help to find the key, to open a new door.
Academically, my study has included psychology, women’s studies, youth work, criminology, counselling, addiction, and extensive philosophy.
I'm a certificate 4 Yoga & Meditation teacher, and have taught publicly for over 14 years. I found the benefits of a practice in my first decade, and committed to it fully, daily, in my fourth.
I have studied many different styles of healing work, with a variety of teachers, from Australian Ab(original) High Lore Woman, Maestro from Peru, Death Doula/Walking, Crystal Healing, Sound Healing, Access Bars, Energetic Coherence.
I am a mother of two adult children, and a furry friend.
I am a self-confessed seeker, and guide many others through the embodied wisdom, of my own experiences.
