Hello

Welcome to this space, where earth and sky-based wisdom traditions meet, blending ancient wisdom with modern insight

I've always been drawn to life’s mysteries—the invisible threads connecting us to each other, to the world, and to something greater. Growing up, I was surrounded by books on astrology, healing, myth, and magic, enchanted by tales of ancient wisdom and the powers that lie just beyond the ordinary. This fascination became a lifelong journey, weaving together a rich tapestry of learning and experience.

After studying Psychology, my path led me to the UK, where I worked as a senior manager in healthcare and gained over a decade of helping different teams in different organisations to deliver high-profile programmes of work. Along the way, I trained in astrology, Reiki, shamanic practices, and undertook an MSc in Consciousness, Spirituality, and Transpersonal Psychology. Each step revealed new ways to help people heal and awaken to their most authentic selves.

Today, I combine these skills, blending intuitive insight with practical tools to support healing, well-being, and powerful personal growth. Whether helping someone uncover their unique strengths or working with leaders to deepen their sense of purpose and impact, my goal is always the same: to help each person I work with feel truly seen, empowered, and ready to bring their fullest potential into the world.

When we work together, your wellbeing is my sole concern. Please feel free to explore this site for the testimonials I’ve received from others and the details of the types of sessions I offer. If you have something more bespoke in mind, please feel free to get in touch - I would love to connect with you.
