I was born in Australia and always felt a deep kinship to Nature and all her magic. As a child, I was a highly sensitive empath and naturally had an understanding of the 'non-physical’ realms of consciousness. This spiritual cocoon was a wonderful starting point, but began to unravel as family trauma flooded into reality. To emotionally survive, I funneled all my energies into competitive gymnastics. Sport became my life raft. But, at age 17, I suffered a broken back in a gymnastics competition and my life raft began to sink. Once unable to exercise, my body morphed into 'the fat suit.' Repressed emotional energy flooded back in and food became my stabilizing addiction. I found myself at war with myself, secretly battling depressive anxiety, body shame, bulimia & food addiction. In an attempt to heal, I decided to reject expected scholarly pursuits and embarked on a spiritual walkabout, or vision quest.

The Psyche and Act of Self Realization According to C.G. Jung

In the years that followed, I dedicated myself to unpacking trauma, contemplation of spiritual truths, and grounding what I learned in practical scientific methods. I had the opportunity to train with elders from many indigenous traditions, neuroscientists, many gifted breath workers, and found a deep kinship with ancient Wise Woman traditions, the work of C.G Jung, and Joseph Campbell’s work on the Hero or Heroine’s Journey. The light began to emerge.

As my own skills became more disciplined, I experienced the profound shifts in awareness and spiritual development. Over the years, these teachings have been chiseled into a crystalize set of teachings of The Spirit Root and the LIATI Life School in an online format.

Our work together is all about coming back home to ourselves, back into wholeness. It’s about dropping the false conditioning you have acquired by trying to fit in and survive, remembering your instinctive gifts, and embracing the forgotten parts of yourself. It’s about remembering that you are LOVE, and Love is All there Is. It is what gives life meaning. Let us cultivate this Love vibration within ourselves while we still have the capacity to embody it, feel it, and share it.

In my ‘normal’ human life, I enjoy gardening, freediving, and deeping my understanding of the reality we live in. If the work feels aligned, please reach out and let’s get started.

Blessed Be.
