We have an innate power that lays deep within us, in the cells of our body, in the electrical pulses that move us and inspire us. The intelligence that exists beyond the mind, once accessed has evolutionary potential.
I spent 10 years in the field of mental health and complex trauma working with young people and families. This chapter closed naturally as I felt my interests moving towards something that allowed for the integration of psyche and spirit with somatic concepts.
I deepened my understanding of the soul, interpersonal relating, complex internal and external dynamics, connection and communication through embodiment practices and immersing myself in varying schools of thought. Initially, I worked with transpersonal concepts in the form of dance and movement. Through the lens of the feminine and Tantra (both neo and classical), the application of Jungian teachings and archetypal wisdom, the mind and body began to meet.
​
I draw on classical and modern psychology and philosophy to inform my practice as well as ancient mysticism (primarily Kabbalah). This creates a unique integrated experience.
Our life is a story consisting of pages, chapters, books and volumes. Each moment indicates a point in time where there is birth, breakdown, re-birth, transformation and evolution, an access point, a door to walk through. We are constantly moving through initiations, some are small and unnoticeable whilst others are monumental, causing seismic shifts in our internal and external worlds. Each of these moments activates an other aspect of our psyche, inviting us into a deeper inquiry into self and to fall in love with life again from a whole new vantage point.
