About Me
I grew up in the UK and began a career path in engineering until an accident changed my life trajectory. Multiple spinal surgeries later and with a bleak prognosis, I entered a dark period of the soul that propelled me on a journey of awakening, delving deep, growing up, and developing a deeper appreciation for life and all that it brings.
Returning to higher education, I studied science for two years, completed a diploma in counselling, and then trained for five years to become a dentist. After many years of post-graduate training, I specialised in biomimetics (a minimally-invasive approach to restoring teeth in a way that ‘mimicked life’), developed a trauma-informed approach to my clinical practice, and gained a reputation as a go-to for anxious clients as someone who offered a very different clinical experience and level of care. Alongside the medical track, I pursued my passion for the healing arts and developed my practice as a somatic counsellor.
My search for knowledge and curiosity to understand what supported individuals to heal at a core level from the legacy of adverse life experiences led me to many countries around the world where I sought out respected teachers, mentors, and experiences that facilitated my personal growth process and offered doorways through which I could learn how to thrive, and then support others to do the same. The more I travelled, the more the lens through which I viewed life changed. I continued to meet individuals whose offerings, based on their lived experience, opened me up to expanded ways of being.
I have spent over twenty-five years dedicated to exploring consciousness and growth and continue to study and attend workshops and training that broaden my knowledge in mind, body, emotion, and psycho-spiritual matters. I have learned that if one has a desire to reach their full potential as a human being, a path of spiritual awakening, mind-body-emotion-energetic connection, and psychological transformation are essential.
My passion lies in guiding others to reconnect with their core Self, to disentangle from that which does not serve them, to create deeper and more loving relationships with themselves and others, and to experience greater freedom, aliveness, and joy in their lives.
