About me

Reclaiming Freedom, Joy and Empowerment through Sacred Embodiment

Growing up in a small, busy home I often longed for quiet and space. I longed for moments to connect with nature, to move freely… to twirl, play, sing, and simply be. These glimpses of joy and freedom of expression became my anchors, even when the world around me felt full and demanding.

Hours were spent connecting with the natural world - noticing colours, textures, the changing quality of light through the day and year, and the majesty of the night sky. I loved to play and dance, to take precious moments to move and express myself fully within my body, to move to music and rhythm, to sing, to laugh - to be in joy. These moments had to be carved out carefully, as I often felt I had to shrink to fit the needs of others. Growing up, I learned to be quieter, more still, to blend in. What I didn’t realise then was how much this had compromised and disconnected me from my own voice, body, and energy flow.

I always loved understanding how things work, drawn to science and observation rather than stories or imagination. It was later, as a young adult, that I opened to the subtler senses - to intuition, energy, and the unseen connections and mystery that shape our lives. I broadened my perception and began connecting and learning in more than one way. I realised this had been there all along but my rational mind and love of science had been stronger. I had to feel things for myself first hand, to have a direct experience. To feel through my own senses and visceral quality of the physical body and energy field.

Through travel, adventure, books, connections with lots of different people and new experiences, I remembered this innate intuitive quality, this deeper awareness and subtler sensing that had always been there. I learnt to tune my senses, to open to, and trust, my inner knowing, my own wisdom, and to trust the flow of life itself. Challenges and hardships became teachers guiding me to stillness and the deep sanctuary within. To the sacredness of life and myself as part of this sacredness.

At times I created a life with long periods of isolation, craving silence and stillness both outside and within me. It turned out there was another way - through connection. I found that isolation was not the answer, but integrating the stillness and being in relationship and connection with others with clear energy and boundaries. I could carry the stillness and keep the sensitivity within me and I could discern the people and places with which I wanted to spend time and energy. Stillness without isolation, connection without losing myself.

My biggest learning for life was when the life journey was the most full and busy, when demands were at their highest. It became absolutely necessary to utilise the moments of space, the gaps in the chaos, to sink in as quickly and deeply as I could to the sanctuary and the spaciousness within me. I repeated this again and again and got very skilled at maximising these mini pauses that life offers. Through this I found my practices, my stillness and ultimately my work and life offering to the world. To return to quiet presence in the body, connected to the Earth. To remember my sacred embodiment and to live with ecstatic presence.

Stillness isn’t even a breath away, it is right there ready to meet us when we pause to notice. Life is always supporting us when we sink into this tender holding. This provides moments to balance and find ourselves again; to return to harmony, clarity and the resonance that shows us the way. We know the best way - we feel it. We sense when something is off and when adjustment is needed.

With compassion, true self love, sacred connection and knowing how much we matter in this world, we can make powerful and positive choices and steps towards ourselves, towards sustaining connection and towards a life well lived. Honouring and embracing the magic and the beauty of simple everyday moments, we befriend and we flow with life as it is, no longer striving and reaching but arriving more and more fully in each moment and in each step, trusting this is the journey - this is the way. In essence, we make the mundane sacred with our full embodied presence.

And it turns out stories are invaluable. To experience through story is to be touched by the beauty, the pain, the journey and the experience and wisdom of others. To feel and sense into imagery, characters, archetypes, myths and legends that reawaken something in us is like gold, it is alchemical. This is a piece of my story I share with you here and I look forward to witnessing and sharing in your story too should you choose.

My Life Now

I have created a life that honours both spaciousness and connection – a rhythm of stillness and engagement. My relationships are nourishing and real, full of truth and wonder, and I turn and listen to the quiet guidance of my Heart every day.

You’ll find me immersed in nature, communing and connecting deeply with the natural world and the elements, moving in conscious dance, or sharing food and meaningful conversation - allowing simple moments to be sacred. I’m regularly at the climbing wall, meeting challenge with curiosity and strengthening body, mind, and spirit. Learning, growing and being present to all the joy and beauty of life.

This isn’t perfection, it is a continual remembering – losing balance and flow and gently finding it again.

This is a life of freedom, connection and grounded joy.
A life of contentment, passion, and inspiration.
One of ecstatic presence through sacred embodiment.
