Walking the path of
remembering

I have come to understand that some of life’s greatest teachers can also be its heaviest burdens. For me, those teachers have been grief and chronic illness. They have shaped me, hollowed me out, deepened me, and ultimately called me into a different way of being in the world.

​

I see the journey I am on as a path of remembering. A returning to the wisdom of the body, the land, and the unseen threads that connect us all.

​

The work I offer today in somatic coaching, Circle space, and embodied inquiry continues to evolve alongside my own unfolding and awakening. It is a living breathing work, shaped by my personal experience and by the collective stories I have had the honour to witness along the way.

​

For over a decade I worked with people experiencing homelessness, mental health challenges, and addiction. Alongside this and to this day, I have worked as a documentary photographer. My camera taught me the art of listening and witnessing. I captured not only the difficult stories, but also the deep wells of hope, longing, and resilience within each person.

Ultimately, all of my experiences brought me to a threshold. I began to feel a call to create spaces of sanctuary, particularly for women. I listened to those around me, to their grief, their longing, their disconnection, and their fierce love for life. I recognised so much of my own story within theirs.

This listening sent me on a pilgrimage of learning but perhaps, most importantly, unlearning. I began weaving somatic practice, animist wisdom, nervous system healing, and ritual into an evolving tapestry of work.

I do not walk this path as an expert, but as a fellow traveller. My work is an invitation to remember how to listen to the wild intelligence of the body, to the land, and to life itself. To reclaim our place within the vast web of life. To be in caring relationship with our beautiful, ailing planet and our more-than-human kin.

There is a line I return to often: "The land knows you even if you’re lost."
These words from Robin Wall Kimmerer remind me that even when we feel untethered from ourselves or the world, we are still known. Still held. There is a deeper belonging that waits beneath the surface of things, and it is always possible to return to it.

​

I believe that every time we come together in community, each of us adds a thread to the tapestry of the world’s renewal. In doing so, we are calling in a more just and compassionate world where every person can live with dignity, care, respect, and belonging.

​

This is the heart of my work today.

You are so welcome here.

With love,
