About Me

For the first 50 years of my life I was a chronic people-pleaser. I know, you are probably thinking surely not all fifty years, but it’s true, and more. I believe that we are profoundly influenced by the people around us and our environment from the moment of conception, and that we are connected to, and deeply affected by, the trauma and life experiences of our ancestors. These experiences are imprinted on us at a cellular level. So, because of what I experienced, I learned to put everyone’s needs before mine, and as a result of that I had no boundaries, and I often didn’t know who or where I was in my life and relationships. I alternated between feeling overwhelmed by feelings, and being numb and disembodied. If somebody had asked me to describe what peace or joy felt like, I would not have been able to tell them. I didn’t even really know who I was, or what I wanted in my life.

As I became more aware of a deep sense of emptiness inside me, I began on the healing path in my early forties. At the age of 50, after a long illness, my husband passed away, and that experience catapulted me into a profound healing crisis. I felt raw and vulnerable, and this made me realize how disembodied and disconnected from my emotions I had been since I was a child. I had been for most of my life. Through this experience I became more deeply committed to the healing path leading back to myself. Working with some expert guides and facilitators, as well as learning how to help myself, I found my way home. As I travelled that path, I discovered my purpose and began doing the work I love – experiencing a sense of freedom, peace and joy that I had never thought possible.

I am an Animist, a Craniosacral Therapist and a Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning guide. I am a deeply spiritual person, who is also in love with this fascinating and wise physical form we call the human body.
