the journey
that led me here

I spent much of my younger years feeling lost, disconnected, painfully shy, and deeply self-conscious.

When it came to intimacy and love, I was terrified. I didn’t know how to be emotionally vulnerable, so I ran from connection. After an incredibly painful heartbreak at 25, I found myself unable to let go. For years, I felt trapped in cycles of shame, guilt, and worthlessness — convinced that something had to be wrong with me to keep ending up in patterns of abandonment and betrayal.

One night, in complete desperation, I fell to my knees and prayed — begged — for guidance. I surrendered, asking for support in a way I never had before.

Not long after, I connected more deeply with my aunt, a spiritual healer. She initiated me onto my path, gifting me my first tarot deck, teaching me Reiki, and passing on an eagle feather I still treasure today. (Eagle has since become one of my most powerful spirit allies.) Through her, I began to see that my struggles weren’t random — they carried a deeper “why,” perhaps even a soul contract that kept repeating until I was ready to break it.

In my darkest moments, spirituality was the thread that carried me through. It became my greatest resource — and it’s now one of the biggest gifts I share with my clients.

Finding the Missing Links

Over the next eight years, I immersed myself in self-development, exploring countless modalities — Yoga, mindfulness and meditation, Reiki, Tarot, embodiment practices, coaching, psychic development, mediumship, emotional release techniques, and shamanism. Some helped, some didn’t.

Despite all the work, certain relationship patterns kept playing out. I was still pushing hard in my masculine energy, suffering from burnout and a lifetime of endometriosis. I trained as a ceremonialist and stepped into my “heart warrior” intention, but life quickly unravelled — both my romantic and closest friendships ended, my business collapsed, and I was forced into stillness. For three months, I withdrew into the dark, realising that much of the life I had built was not soul-aligned. It was built from conditioning, from chasing love, safety, and success on the outside — while I was still empty and drained on the inside.

The real shift came when I found Holistic Counselling for my own healing. It was the missing piece — the bridge that connected my shamanic and intuitive gifts with real-world challenges. It also revealed that much of my pain wasn’t just mine; it was systemic and ancestral, woven through generations.

Holistic counselling allowed me to integrate everything I had been gathering: trauma-informed processes, art and creative therapies, somatic and body-based work, inner child healing, parts work, ancestral and shamanic healing, ritual, prayer, and Qi Gong. It gave me a framework to address both the seen and unseen — the practical and the spiritual — and finally begin to live from a place of true alignment.

What I came to understand is this: life will almost always feel heavy when it isn’t soul-aligned. You’ll find yourself pushing uphill, cycling through pain, and re-creating patterns until you return to the deeper truth of who you are — and where you come from.

Why my work is different

I know what it’s like to feel disconnected, to question your worth, and to live with the fear that everything could collapse at any moment. And I know the relief of having someone walk beside you who can see all of you — your wounds, your gifts, and your spirit.

My work goes beyond traditional talk therapy. I blend shamanism, ritual, ceremony, and spirit work into a trauma-informed counselling space that honours every layer of your being — mind, body, soul, and spirit. This multidimensional way of working gets to the root of trauma, not just the symptoms, creating change that ripples through your health, relationships, work, and even future generations.

For the first time in my life, I can say that the work I offer is deeply aligned with my heart, my soul, and the gifts of my ancestral lineages. If you feel a pull to work together, I welcome you into my space with open arms — whether for one session or many.

Walking With Teachers, Lineages & Lived Wisdom

Healing has always been a lifelong path for me — shaped by both my own lived experience and the privilege of training with respected teachers and lineages. Along the way, I’ve studied practices that weave together counselling, creativity, shamanic traditions, and ritual.

These experiences have shaped the way I hold space: blending tradition with intuition, spirit with therapy, and the practical with the mystical.
