I used to work in a bank.

One of my founding beliefs is that health and wellbeing are our natural human state. The "being" part of us arrives when the human has been nurtured, loved, and given space to settle.

My journey into holistic wellness began in 1992 at the age of 17 when I attended my first yoga class. I was captivated by the fluidity of movement my body experienced and the moments of profound stillness that followed each posture. At the same time I became aware of the chaos of my breath, the tightness of my muscles and the incessant chatter of my mind, and yet underneath all of that I discovered a deep inner stillness that resonated with my soul. That class ignited a spark, fuelling a passion to go deeper.

Before all of this I worked in banking. My thinking was harder then, my edges sharper. It was travel that began to change that. Moving through different countries, cultures and communities, sitting with people whose lives looked nothing like mine, I found something softening in me that I hadn't known was rigid. Each place peeled back another layer.

Over the years I danced on beaches, walked with swamis in ashrams, followed curiosity wherever it led, and let each experience quietly reshape me. It was less a plan and more a following, of what felt true, of what my own body was trying to tell me.

That wandering eventually became a practice, and the practice became a calling.

Today I work at the intersection of somatic coaching, clinical hypnotherapy, NLP, Reiki and shamanic healing. Not as separate things on a menu, but as one integrated approach shaped around the person in front of me. Over the last few years the work has deepened in ways I didn't expect. Each new training added a layer of precision to what was already intuitive. I can now work with the body and the mind and the patterns underneath both.

That combination changes things in ways that still surprise me.
