I have been on a path of personal development for thirty years, exploring many modalities including yoga, meditation, dreamwork, psychotherapy, facilitating authentic relating groups and qualifying as a counsellor.

 

But what I do is primarily an outgrowth of my lived experience. I have weathered many crises over a 25 year period that dramatically upended my life – from a severe back injury that left me largely incapacitated for several years, chronic fatigue that took over 15 years to resolve, to mental health challenges (specifically acute anxiety) that required deep inner work to heal from. One way of framing what I went through is a ‘shamanic illness’, a process typified by a prolonged eruption of symptoms in the service of a deeper healing of mind, body and spirit.

 

This transformational journey has yielded many gifts, including a blossoming of intuitive abilities, a way of seeing people and situations more clearly, and an ability to feel and care more deeply. My calling is to put all this to use in supporting others - because I’ve been there, I know in my bones how to be there for others.
