About Me
My holistic journey began at the age of 19 and then in 1995 I joined an intentional Holistic community.
For 7 years I lived, worked full time and learned healing arts and various forms of spiritual practice before training in Zen Shiatsu (MRSS), Reflexology, various forms of body oriented disciplines and became self employed full time in 2000.
I bring many tools into my practice; the modalities I have professionally trained in as well as Taoist and Shamanic arts, Feeling based Yoga, Dreamwork, Qi Gong and have ongoing continuous professional development in Holistic Studies.
I recently completed my 4th Vision Quest (Wilderness Vigil) with Earth Encounters and am a student of Plant Medicines, Travel and Trees.
Although I have worked with many teachers, my main initiatory path has been the ongoing transformational opportunties that life provides and I am passionate about healing, Nature and the innate wisdom of our body-mind.
I have written several books of poetry mapping the cycles from breakdown to breakthrough which you can view as a pdf on this site or purchase a copy. I celebrate what is Soulful and Wild and as I often use Poetry in my session work.
Poets: Mary Oliver, Rilke, David Whyte, the Mystic poets, John O’Donoghue, Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Tom Hirons and many others.
“Poetry is language against which we have no defences’. David Whyte
Spiritual teachers/ influences : Everyone I meet and work with. I am also an ongoing student of the work of Marion Woodman, James Hillman, Gabor Maté, Pema Chodron, Bill Plotkin and many trauma healing practitioners and rites of passage guides in the realm of Embodied Transformation.
