My Story
In my 20s, I traveled to India from the UK after completing a degree in French and English law. Those pivotal six months introduced me to meditation and an instant, direct recognition of ever-present wholeness. This glimpse of nondual awareness, 25 years ago, ignited a lifelong commitment to deepening what had been revealed.
Through Ken Wilber's integral framework and trauma-informed psychotherapy, I came to recognise other essential dimensions of being: the parallel journeys of developmental maturity and psychological healing, the dance between personal evolution and collective transformation.
Settling in Australia in 1993, I completed six years of training in naturopathy and holistic counseling, followed by a Master's in Psychotherapy. As an Integral Psychotherapist, I've worked with thousands of clients worldwide, continually refining my practice through intensive meditation and advanced study in adult development, trauma, and somatic therapy with master teachers and mentors, all in service of full-spectrum integration.
My passion lies in accompanying others toward their own discoveries and the healing, empowerment, and awakening that emerge from this work. I now live on Waiheke Island, New Zealand, offering sessions and courses internationally via Zoom, as well as in-person intensives and retreats.
Therapeutic Approach
True transformation is a multidimensional unfolding. Becoming fully ourselves requires tending to the whole of who we are: the wounds we carry, the consciousness we are capable of, and the deeper purpose we are here to express. This work is grounded in five essential movements:
Cleaning Up
Releasing and integrating individual, intergenerational, and collective trauma
Growing Up
Maturing through the stages of adult development
Waking Up
Touching the depths of spiritual realisation and awakening
Showing Up
Aligning all dimensions of life to deeper purpose
Opening Up
Expanding the full spectrum of our intelligences
Through this process, we become more authentically ourselves, more at ease, more alive, more naturally in service to what is truly ours to do in the world.
