WITCH, MERMAID, CREAtive, WRITER, human.
It’s always a challenge introducing yourself to somewhere as vast as the internet. But first of all welcome. Above are a few of the words I would use to describe myself. It’s funny really because a couple of years ago I was hiding those parts of who I am. That’s not happening anymore. So here you are, maybe thinking about working with me and you would like to know some more about who I am as a person.
We can start with the stats. I am a queer, non-binary, Autistic human who doesn’t own a TV. I colour my hair red because I love it, I accommodate the lives of two horses, Pearl & Cassie, I am a Taurus Sun and a Leo moon (I will let you make your own conclusions) I am an enneagram four down to my bones. I live in Folkestone, spend quite a bit of time in London and my heart home is Scotland (one day I will live there) I consider myself an activist and use my businesses and platforms to hopefully have something of a small positive impact on this world. I am learning Tarot, I love anything witchy and work with the magic of the moon and nature. I practise yoga 4-5 times a week and I am an avid sea swimmer, yep, even through the winter. I thoroughly enjoy a long walk. I have a terrible book buying addiction and read as much as I can, I usually have 3 books on the go AND I love coffee and buns.
I am also multi passionate and have many strings in my bow. At 38 I have lived many lives, almost recovered from people pleasing, survived a lot of trauma and have learned some incredibly powerful lessons. The work I have had to do to heal from what has happened to me has made me a deeply self aware and compassionate person with an endlessly curious mind and that’s why I love the work that I do.
I am committed to living a courageous life filled with joy, intentional choices, love, truth and never rejecting the harder elements of being human. My work is an extension of that commitment to hopefully help others reconnect with all parts of themselves and find their own versions of living intentional and full lives.
In terms of professional qualifications… I completed an intensive course in Trauma Informed Somatic Therapy with the ISOHH. This is equivalent to levels 3-5 in counselling/therapy. I am about to become accredited with the ACCPH. I have also completed over 300hrs of training with Authentic Flow Tribe in Yoga & Somatic Ecstatic Dance, this has given me so many tools around working with the body & trauma. I teach online, in person and host workshops and retreats.
My learning won’t end here, I will be always continuing with my own process.
