My Story
People who work with the alleviation of others' unwellness or suffering have most likely suffered from unwellness themselves. This also was part of my journey. Having spent early adulthood recovering from a traumatic experience as a teenager, my life eventually led into 23 years of offering support and coaching services to marginalised young people and adults.
In 2020, my path took a different turn after contracting Long Covid and a debilitating joint condition, where my future suddenly became uncertain. It was upon receiving healing from an Ecuadorian shaman that I realised our wellbeing is about so much more than about what we can see. From this. I became both a student of Shamanism and Craniosacral therapy, making my commitment to helping those with unwellness who have not succeeded in finding support elsewhere.
My Approach
I work with the whole person, not isolated symptoms. Our body, mind, emotions and wider life are deeply interconnected. What shows up physically and emotionally often has roots beyond the body alone – it being linked to stress, emotional patterns and the way we navigate our wider world. Likewise, challenges in our relationships, work or sense of purpose can be reflected and held within the body.
My approach is grounded in listening – both to your experience of the world and what your body is communicating. Through craniosacral therapy and holistic coaching, we can explore the intersection between your inner and outer worlds, and identify where healing and change are most needed. Rather than forcing outcomes, I focus on creating the conditions for you as a whole to rebalance naturally.
