“You are not broken. You are sacred. Your healing is the remembering of the wholeness you have always carried within you.”

I was born into the wild embrace of nature — raised on a farm where the soil, the seasons, and the animals spoke a language my sensitive heart could understand. Nature was my first sanctuary, the place where I learned to listen deeply, to feel beyond words.

Inside our home, however, life was more turbulent.

My mother, a fiercely creative spirit, carried intense, unregulated emotions. I learned to walk on eggshells, attuned to every shift in the atmosphere.

I had to be perfect to be loved was my belief system. There was a lot of pressure. I was a very talented classical violin player meant to go the distance. I knew my mum would love that so I kept up with something I didn’t fully resonate with. I loved fiddle and Irish/Celtic music and it was only when I was older that I was able to experience that genre.

My father, loving and humorous, often hid his deeper feelings behind sarcasm and silence.

I became a master of reading between the lines, surviving in a world that often felt unsafe.

Between the ages of 5 and 9, I experienced sexual abuse — a deep and devastating wound that shaped my relationship with myself and the world. And yet, I blocked out a massive portion of my childhood memories. It wasn’t until I was 28, sitting in sacred plant medicine ceremony, that the veil lifted and memories began flooding back — opening the doorway to my true self-realization journey. It was then that I began to uncover repressed memories of abuse and the deep mother wounds I had long buried.

Through this awakening, I began to understand just how long I had been living in survival mode — my nervous system jacked and dysregulated, doing whatever it could to keep me safe. So much of my life had been shaped by this hidden pattern.

In my early years, I sought refuge in discipline and achievement — pouring myself into classical ballet, violin, and competitive volleyball.

Outwardly, I shined. Inwardly, I carried depression, disconnection, and an eating disorder (bulimia), hidden beneath the mask of high performance.

Throughout my twenties, I continued wearing masks — striving, perfecting, trying to fill an emptiness that could not be touched by outward success.

Before life cracked me open, there were already whispers of the path ahead. I began exploring energy healing, completing my Reiki training — the first conscious step toward reconnecting with the deeper currents of life and spirit.

After the ending of my first marriage, the call to deeper healing became undeniable.

Peru and the plant teacher medicines began to whisper to me — and I listened.

In the sacred lands of Peru, my true initiation began.

I sat in ceremony with the ancient plant teachers — Ayahuasca, San Pedro, Kambo — allowing the sacred medicines to unearth the stories, griefs, and gifts buried within me. I sat through many ceremonies and fasting to allow the least resistance for the medicine to work it’s magik.

I hiked the ancient trails of the Andes, letting the mountains teach me about frustration, strength and surrender.

I received sacred Q’eros initiations, blessings from indigenous wisdom keepers who reminded me of my soul’s eternal lineage. I was privileged to be able to attend 2 treks up to the Q’eros communities where we had the opportunity to partake in their community traditions and beautiful Despacho Ceremonies up in the Apu. Life changing experiences.

In Kinsa Kocha, I communed with the spirits of the land, deepening my trust in the unseen.

• Many plant Medicine Ceremonies - no need to do as many as I did, I had to learn a few things about my spiritual ego and spiritual bypassing. I feel I am still integrating plant medicines ceremonies I sat in 10 plus years ago. The teachings of the medicine plants in return did help me see this as well. Massively humbling.

Life became a living ceremony — one of healing, remembering, and unbecoming everything I was not.

When I got the message my mum was diagnosed with stomach cancer, I went home. It brought back a memory that a shaman had once told me: if you want to heal yourself, go home and be with your family. They are your biggest teachers. In my world, this has come to be so true.

Being with my mum through her transition was a reality in the complexity of our relationship — the pain, the love, the longing, the forgiveness — all of it. Her death cracked something wide open in me, and in that rawness, I found a deeper capacity for love, for presence, and for healing the mother wound that had lived in me for so long.

Having felt the loss of my oldest brother a few years earlier, I knew what grief was and was somewhat prepared for what was to come. There is no guidebook for grief, and even years later, moments and memories catch me very strongly — and now, I just let the waves roll through where once I held on so tightly.

I entered into a second marriage before my mum crossed over — another chapter of growth, reflection, and soul-forging. When that marriage ended, it was yet another sacred death that gave birth to deeper layers of self-discovery.

I traveled again, seeking and learning with a heart now less desperate, more open.

In this season, I became a Certified Hypnotherapist, drawn to the immense healing power of the subconscious mind — the tender place where true transformation takes root.

Before I left for my next journey to Guatemala, my dad died. He was older and had lived a long, hardy life on the farm. The veils have always been thin for me, and it was a privilege to be with my dad when he transitioned. I had a dream a couple of days before he crossed that his grandmother on his mother’s side was welcoming him home to the other side. I knew my dad’s spirit was okay and ready for his next journey.

Guatemala called next — a place where the Earth itself feels alive with ancient wisdom — and my work with the elements, spirit, and the natural world deepened. More initiations received. I was longing to find like minded community and live in harmony with earth.

But Guatemala was not only a place of beauty and spiritual connection — it was also fiercely raw. I was violently robbed, an experience that shook my sense of safety and brought me face-to-face with another layer of shadow and survival. It was a soul initiation I could not ignore. As I sat with the aftermath, I was invited to ask: Why had I attracted this? What pattern was still playing out in my field? What part of me needed to be seen, healed, and reclaimed? Guatemala held both — the darkness and the light. It mirrored the duality within me: the trauma and the transformation, the fear and the freedom, the grief and the grace.

Today, I am back where it all began, my home town. I am so grateful for my siblings, my soul family, and this pretty amazing community. After having a miscarriage a year ago, it was a really brutal time for me being away from my support system. It has become so important to me. Being away for 2 years living on the island has made me realize what is important to me. My family, my friends and community. Not the place, but the people most of all. It has taken these experiences in my life to really recognize and integrate this.

Here, my journey continues — but now it is not fueled by seeking, but by listening, dancing, immersing, and connecting and continued work at embodying my experience, not dissociating, staying present as best as I can. Its always continual work for me to stay in presence of this moment.

Ecstatic dance has become a huge part of my healing and expression. Having realized how repressed my expression had been, this outlet has been magik for me — alongside the continual pursuit of inner peace, embodying my experience here in my body, valuing my life and letting go of perfectionism.

My work now centers on nervous system healing, emotional intelligence, shadow love, inner child inquiry, and deep reconnection with nature and the sentient beings around me — for I believe that when we reconnect to the Earth and her beings, we reconnect to our true selves.

My work with clients now is about getting out of survival mode and into a state of thriving — through nervous system regulation, somatic healing, Inner child discovery, tracking, conversational therapy and deep embodiment.

It is my honour to walk beside you on your healing journey—holding space for you to remember your wholeness, reconnect with your truth, and reclaim the parts of yourself that have longed to be seen. Together, we open the doorway to deep transformation, guided by the wisdom of your body, your subconscious, and your soul.
