About Me

            

I passionately believe that the essence of who we are as human beings, our true nature, is at source open, joyful, loving, at peace, creative and resourced from a ground of infinite freedom and innate intelligence. 

Our full potential is to live passionately, awake as limitless awareness, alive within the limits of our beautifully human frailty and tender vulnerability. 

I've led a full and challenging life which included violence and chaos in my early years, living with domestic abuse and a partner's alcoholism later too. I've been witness to excruciating mental illness in my family and for as far back as I can remember I was searching for love, peace and some kind of ground that I could trust and be nourished by.

Through those difficult years I developed a hungry curiosity to find out what healthy relationship looked like and embarked on a lifetime's mission to discover what it means to relate whole heartedly and compassionately, firstly to myself and then to others.

Thankfully my need and persistence brought me many learnings and for the last couple of decades I have had the great fortune of a wonderful teacher. With his patient guidance I have come to know an unshakeable peace and love at the core of my being that is always there even amidst the most difficult of times.

I am more vivaciously alive and touched by life than ever before. My heart is fuller and my mind more open. I feel like a beginner every single day, and for that I'm truly grateful. Alongside working with my teacher, I dived deep for 11 years in Core Process Psychotherapy which is a beautiful Buddhist based therapy that supported my inner work with awareness and embodiment.

More often than ever before I am able to be present here and now. Often not knowing how to do this crazy life but content to let the unknown unfold before my eyes....

I feel inspired to share with others and to let my light shine where it can for we are only here on earth a shot while and every second counts. 

I dance regularly as though no one and everyone is looking!

I love nature in all its glory, I feel myself as part of its magnificence and am humbled to be here. Being in the wild reminds me who I am.

I am learning, every single day, what it is to be alive, awake as presence, touched, failing gracefully and blossoming into the next moment with all the love and humour I can muster...

I am a singer and have been my whole life. I teach and perform.

I trained as an Authentic Public Speaking Trainer with Speaking Circles International in California.

I am a trained Doula and trained with the incredible Michel Odent who is one of the most intelligent and brightly inspiring humans I have ever met. 

I am also a qualified yoga teacher with a special interest in embodiment, somatics, breathwork and 'scaravelli inspired' yoga
