My approach is rooted in the understanding that we each have the wisdom and resources we need to thrive. I work with you to help you access the knowledge and understanding that already lives inside of you. You are the expert, and you are the knower. My role is to facilitate, accompany and guide. My expertise is what allows this space to unfold in ways that are psychologically supportive, generative, and meaningful. Your wisdom is what allows you to move forward.

Each session weaves together a blend of modalities, including movement, meditation, creative self-expression, dialogue, reflection, energy and gentle body-based touch, to guide you into conversation with your self, your dreams, your fears and your desires. These practices are carefully chosen to help you shift stuck patterns and energies, and uncover new ways of being.

My work is informed by sustained research, practice and reflection in somatic experiencing, authentic movement, tantra, gender theory, feminism, symbolism, depth psychology, transpersonal psychology, intersectionality, process-oriented psychology, psychedelic healing, sensual embodiment, trauma, consent, power, pleasure activism, transformative pedagogy, inclusion, compassion, decolonisation, transformative justice, healing justice. And above all, love.

I work at the intersection of psychology, politics, embodiment, spirituality, philosophy, poetry, sexuality, mysticism, education, and ecology. I am intrigued by, and attuned to, the conflicts between these areas of practice. I am keenly aware of the presence of separatist, essentialist and eugenic narratives inside spiritual spaces that consider politics outside of their orbit. I am also keenly aware of the denial of soul, emotion and body in academic spaces that consider the unknown and the abstract sentimental. These blindnesses and exclusions work me, and deeply inform my work.

My work with young people remains my most profound educational experience. And my former students my greatest teachers.

I have worked throughout my life with complex emotional experiences, both personally and professionally. I worked for many years with young people experiencing serious life challenges and worked to meet them with grace and integrity. I have experienced significant life challenges of my own which I have tried to meet with this same integrity and grace.

I know intimately what it feels like to have to piece yourself together in the dark, what it feels like to lose meaning, what it feels like to look at the world around you and see nothing appealing or familiar at all. Circumstance has meant that I have had to find my way back from these places alone. Somehow, guided by some unknown force inside me, the comfort of trees and water and sunshine, and the voices and wisdom of strangers that I have found in books, music, online, I was led on, through, and out.

Progressively that life force got stronger, clearer. It became about survival, and I became a little more bloody about it. Then one day my ‘no’ emerged from the very depths of my soul, in an experience I can only compare to what it must feel like to roar. And my whole life changed. It was simple, not anyone, not any system, not any structure, not even myself was gong to be allowed within touching distance of my life force energy ever again.

Something of a fierce survival instinct emerged, and as it got stronger, it also also got hungrier. It moved from fighting things off, and started to want things. I started to deeply question why I felt so low so often, and realised that I didn’t want to survive, as so much of the literature had told me was success. I wanted to feel good. And as I allowed for that wanting to fill me, I learned just how taboo that wanting is in our culture. Superficial, indulgent, privileged. The layers of shame were astounding and magnificently crafted.

A woman with desires, it turns out, is an aberration. But once again I was gifted the voices of strangers, amazing, brave women who had defied everything to pursue their own pleasure, happiness, and joy. Who dared to feel alive inside this grey world. And slowly I began to feel happier. I found new pathways into my pleasure, my sexuality, my body, my self-expression. And with each new space of freedom I have found buried underneath a trove of pain, shame and wounding. Mine, my mother’s, my brother’s, my father’s, my sister’s, my grandmother’s. Pain so recent and so ancient there was no telling it apart inside my own flesh. An unfolding of the human experience of suffering turned out to be a foundational part of my own liberation. Pleasure and pain folded into one.

And at some undisclosed point in time I understood that this is my work. This is both my power and my healing, and the contribution I can make to the wounding that has scarred my family, and the violence that has scarred this earth. It is my way of saying thank you to all those who walked before me and who helped keep me here. It is my hope that I can offer up the same to others, a reminder back to your essential beauty, the beauty of life, and the possibility of pleasure amidst the suffering and the pain. There is still so much undiscovered wonder in this world, so much flavour and colour waiting to fill our skies. I hope my work can reorient our focus to this wonder, to the profound creative potential that lives inside each and every one of us.
