My Story

A decade ago, I embarked on an inner pilgrimage that would forever change my life. My path led me to Peru, where I studied under Dr Rubén Orellana, a Native Andean Curandero, Anthropologist, and Chief Archaeologist of Machu Picchu. There, I immersed myself in the indigenous practices of the Incan and pre-Incan cultures, discovering how they interweaved with modern psychology. It was amidst these mystical landscapes that I first encountered Shamanism. Suddenly, I recognized a deep connection with the spiritual work I had long been searching for. It felt like a homecoming, marking my initial profound awakening—a transformative experience that altered the course of my life.

My journey unfolded further as I ventured to Terra Mirim, the Centre of Light in Brazil. This shamanic “school” allowed me to dive even deeper into the profound realms of Shamanism. I explored indigenous practices and wisdom, guided by the extraordinary teachings of XamAM (Alba Maria), a Priestess and Psychologist. This immersive experience left a lasting impression on my understanding of Shamanism and its profound impact on personal healing and spiritual growth.

Over the years, I have explored a multitude of modalities and teachings, embracing ancient traditions, non-duality, transpersonal psychology, plant medicines, and esoteric studies. This journey was not only enriched by my personal healing journey, supported by trusted therapists and healing practitioners, but also shaped by overcoming personal challenges, including addiction and significant losses. These experiences have deepened my understanding of pain and resilience and fostered a profound compassion within me, equipping me to guide others through their moments of struggle and transformation with empathy and understanding.

Working with diverse individuals from varied backgrounds taught me the fundamental importance of trauma release and healing. I learned  to understand the body’s innate wisdom in expression unspoken truths and came to appreciate the efficacy of combining emotional bodywork, creative expression, and coaching/counselling/mentoring.

Recently I completed a Master of Science degree in Consciousness, Spirituality, and Transpersonal Psychology. I have also earned a Diploma in End-of-Life Doula support, enhancing my mission of helping individuals at the end of their lives. This demonstrates how committed I am to learning, studying, and expanding my knowledge to provide the best possible support for those on their transformative journeys.

I hold a profound reverence for life and nature, believing that nothing exists in isolation—we are all interconnected. Yet, we find ourselves disconnected from our true selves, from nature, from each other, and from the Source. This disconnection is the ailment we must heal by becoming whole. Healing requires more than just intention; it demands that we recognize the patterns that perpetuate our wounds and learn how to release them.

My path in life is guided by Love, a profound, unifying force that connects us to the divine essence of the universe, awakening our hearts to compassion, wisdom, and the sacred interconnectedness of all life.I believe we are here to embody loving consciousness – to be fearless and determined enactors of wisdom. Our mission is to educate, inform, rebel, refuse, speak up, and make waves, all while honouring the light and safeguarding the true values of this world: our essence, the Earth, and all her creatures.

Ecopsychology must be included in a healing process. My journey moved me from the story of a dead, insentient cosmos to a new story of a cosmos that is vibrantly alive and the primary ground of our own consciousness. I believe in reconnecting with both – the seen and the unseen dimensions of existence, and as I was helped on my journey back to this deep ground of Soul, I am dedicated to supporting others in finding their sacred connection with nature and the cycles of life.

With roots in the Earth and an intimate connection to the sacredness of my human body, mind and Soul, my dedication to my spiritual journey has never been stronger. I am deeply passionate about supporting others on their own transformative journeys, knowing first-hand the power of having a companion to walk with you through the twists and turns of personal growth and transformation.

I am deeply grateful to the teachers, mentors, and guides whose wisdom, commitment, and inspiration have kept me centered in my mission of serving others, continually empowering me to enhance my contributions and extend my impact.
