Testimonials
A Little bit of my story…
I was raised by a wise and magical single mother who started me on a spiritual path young. At eight years old, I was her sidekick attending meditation circles, sweat lodges, retreats, and all manner of spiritual adventures.
She filled my childhood with wonder, beauty, and creativity—gifts that continue to shape my life today. I consider her my first teacher and mentor in a long line of extraordinary women who have guided and graced my path.
Despite this magical beginning, like all of us, I struggled. Family patterns and life's challenges leave their mark.
At 18, I entered what I now think of as the beginning of my underworld initiations. It began with severe insomnia and unfolded into years of health challenges. This was coupled with the typical challenges of being a young woman - navigating relationships, work, identity, purpose and finding my place in the world.
The relentless suffering fuelled a drive for healing, truth and answers. It lit my spiritual path on steroids as I went from one teacher, healer, retreat, far flung place to another… what a time of learning, growth and frustration.
Despite profound spiritual experiences and many moments of awakening, my body did not improve.
Then, at twenty-seven, I experienced a devastating physical collapse that left me largely housebound for seven years.Those years became some of the greatest teachers of my life.
They stripped away my spiritual idealism and invited me into something far more honest, humble, and embodied.
They led me into the study of somatics, nervous system healing, trauma, and embodiment.
That journey transformed not only how I understand healing, but how I facilitate it.
Today, my work is rooted in an embodied and grounded spirituality—one that honours the whole person, leaves no part of us behind, and trusts that when we feel deeply seen, deeply safe, and deeply loved, healing and transformation unfold naturally.
