After ‘climbing the ladder’ in creative advertising agencies, I worked for eight years internationally in counter human trafficking, moved the injustice and horror of modern slavery.

On paper, I’d achieved the life I wanted, yet I was burnt out, defensive, and disconnected. The endless cycle of exploitation and the colonial impacts of the development sector led me to profound questions about life and my place within it.

My attention turned inwards because there was nowhere else to go.

An intense, seven-year exploration into spiritual dimensions began. I journeyed deep through meditation, yogic asana, kriya, plant medicines and wilderness quests. Learning from different cultures opened my mind beyond western conditioning.

A sense of exhaustion continued however until I began to recognise disassociation from my childhood. With support, I began moving through the most unknown, emotionally and physically painful places, gradually learning how to meet and integrate them.

This happened alongside a transformational relationship (not as romantic as it may sound!) that continues to reshape my experience of intimacy and sacred sexuality. I began my training with Internal Family Systems, trauma, shamanic wisdom and womb awakening.

With the help of these profound approaches, I discovered a way of being that’s both rooted and free, guided by my inner senses and open to the fullness of this human experience. I embrace the mystery of each moment as an opportunity for deeper connection, freedom and loving awareness.
