Amongst the many facets I am a teacher and devoted student, deeply fascinated and drawn to the vast world of our human nature through Yoga, Meditation, Somatics, Craniosacral, Ancient Wisdom, the Natural World and Rest.

With a natural affinity to the wisdom and depths of our bodies, our heart led notion and the art of slow living, I work with those who wish to explore together what it is to feel connected, rested and grounded in one Self.

I have devoted the last seven years to the field of Attunement, also known as building intimacy with the body. As we refine our capacity to listen to sensations, also known as the messages from our body, we are able to meet this history stored in our tissues. When met with open compassion and awareness, our grip softens. There is an unwinding and restoring that happens. In the presence of another attuned presence especially, there is hope to be found in unravelling the stickier, more fragile parts to our humanness. Hence my love for the collective field, gathering in humility, vulnerability and awe.

The source of this inspiration stems from my greatest challenges, as if trudging through muddy waters, to only realise that by greeting and meeting them, they have only then become gifts. The unease, flooding anxiety, chronic illness and sense of helplessness, has stretched me but in a way only closer to myself, illuminating my path back to a reciprocal relationship with essence and the natural world.

Through my own path I have been guided to discover ways of being, practices and teachings that install faith, health, safety and presence. Ways of being that had previously felt far away. In no means, have I discovered ‘states’ to perfect or shelter from the array of innate, sometimes wild and rich tapestry of this very body and life, but to contact safety as a way of being in relationship with all inner terrain textures.

As loud as the world can be at times, I have dedicated much of my study towards Trauma and the role it plays with our Nervous System, Immune System and overall health. Creating trauma sensitive spaces. Open to all with the reminder that “Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you.” - Gabor Maté

I am interested in meeting trauma through a wider, more ecological lens, recognising that what happens within us is also shaped by what happens around us. Our relationships, our communities, the systems we live within, the natural world and the wounds we inherit all form part of the terrain we are moving through.

Rather than asking us to simply ‘regulate’ ourselves within contexts that may continue to feel unsafe or overwhelming, I am interested in what becomes possible when we meet these realities relationally, with compassion, attunement and a deeper sense of belonging.

I give my deepest appreciation to my teachers, for the blessings of their mentorship, in particular Claire Robbie, Kristin Borchardt, Alani Klein, Tina Nance, Maggie Kline and Juliette Mcconachy.
