I never imagined I would be doing this work for a living. I've always been intuitive and curious about people. As a child I would secretly play with my mum's tarot cards on school holidays, fascinated by the imagery and hidden meanings. And on Saturday mornings I would find myself doing dream analysis over the phone for my best friend Cat. I felt like an old soul, drawn to things beneath the surface.

​

My own journey into deep inner work didn’t happen until my mid-twenties. I was in a long-term relationship and from the outside everything seemed fine, but on the inside I felt completely lost. I spent so much time trying to make someone else happy that who I was slowly disappeared. I became crippled by anxiety. The anxiety came out as a driving phobia and gradually grew into something much bigger. As someone who had always been adventurous, independent and free, I watched as my world became smaller to the point where I was too afraid to leave my neighbourhood. No one knew. I became incredibly good at hiding it. 

​

When the relationship ended I went through a huge transformation and spiritual awakening. What followed was a slow unraveling and a long journey of discovering my authentic self.  Deep psychotherapy became the foundation. That work eventually led me to the root: childhood and intergenerational trauma, and the complex PTSD underneath it all. Alongside it I trained in clinical hypnotherapy, ancestral and energy clearing, Reiki, psychic development, and sound healing. All of it was for my own healing and to help myself. I never set out to do this work professionally. But friends started asking for sessions, then their friends, and before I knew it, this had become my work.

What I love most is witnessing the transformation that unfolds in my client’s lives. It truly is a deep honour. If something in my story resonates with you, I'd love to support you on your journey.
