MERMAID, CREAtive, ANIMIST, WRITER, ECOSYSTEM.
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 care for two horses, Pearl & Cassie, I am a Taurus Sun, Libra rising and a Leo moon and I am an enneagram four down to my bones. I am currently in the process of buying a van to live in so I can move between Devon, Folkestone & Scotland as all those places have my heart. I consider myself an activist and use my businesses and platforms to hopefully have something of a small & supportive impact on this world as well as being an active member of the Green Party. I am learning Tarot, I love anything witchy and move with the magic of the moon and nature. I practice somatic movement 4-5 times a week and I am an avid sea swimmer, yep, even through the winter. I thoroughly enjoy a long walk and I am chipping away at the England & Wales Coast Path. 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.
I am also multi passionate and have many strings in my bow. At 40 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 fully accredited with the ACCPH. I have also completed 650hrs of training with Authentic Flow Tribe in Yoga, Somatic Ecstatic Dance & Somatics through the lens of Body Mind Centring, 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…
I recently completed a 9 month programme studying the somatic and relational self - exploring edge & shadow in relationship, the collective & culture with Kai Cheng Thom & Karine Bell.
I am also studying the Mythic Body programme, a 12 month (and a lifetime) dive into myth, somatics and ritual under the stewardship of Josh Schrei of the Emerald Podcast.
I do monthly office hours with Decolonizing Therapy.
In April 2026 I will be completing Apprenticing to Grief with Sophy Banks & Grief Tending.
And I also attend regular individual & group supervision with my peers & Aimee Rai from the ISOHH.
