I believe we change when we experience, rather than just cognitively understand, something new.

Talking and intellectualising is helpful to a point, but it has its limits. Maybe this has been your experience.

My practice is focused on showing, not telling, our inner system and body that it is safe to try a new way of being. When we have a felt experience and embodied understanding of making a positive change, then we can actually shift our behaviour in ways that actually last.

I support my clients in building new experiences using creative, imaginative, visual, unusual and, above all, body-based tools. Instead of knowing cognitively what you "should" be doing, you get to live it.

I work with people who feel different or eccentric in some way, because talk-based approaches don't always work for them.

Even if they live a seemingly normal life, many have a sense of being somehow out of alignment, reactive, and driven by old patterns.

Many of my clients are creatives, thinkers, travellers. They are curious, have a strong moral compass, and feel deeply for the world.

My clients are also people who have been othered by the dominant culture they live in. This could be because of their cultural background, neurodivergence, sexual orientation, gender, or lifestyle (e.g. poly, kinky).

Many of them have been told, directly or indirectly, that they should fit into a certain norm and that doing things their way is indicative of a mental health issue or maladaptive behaviour. No wonder so many choose to mask and do their best to fit in.

I’m here to help you with your baggage without pathologising what makes you unique.

My most important qualifications are not the trainings I’ve done. The true value of my work comes from my life’s encounters, my ability to see core issues quickly, and my irreverent sense of humour. In my sessions I meet you as a human first and foremost.

I also draw from my experience growing up in some of the world's most disadvantaged regions, my career in international development, my creative business centred around kink and body-positivity, stints in social work, being a full-time caregiver, my work as a death doula and grief counsellor, volunteering in psychedelic crisis support and sitting in parks inviting strangers to talk to me about their challenges.

As a person of mixed heritage who moved frequently as a child, often switches careers and hobbies, and doesn’t live life on the straight and narrow, I understand what it’s like to not quite fit in. Being queer, poly, a person of color and a little neurodivergent taught me firsthand what marginalisation feels like. Throw in an interest in taboo topics such as death, grief, kink and psychedelics and the chaos is complete.

I encourage you to get to know me a little better by taking a stroll around my website. I share a lot about my views and values, and rant about things that annoy me :)

If what you see on my website resonates, you can book a Core Issues Session intro call where I a) give you my honest opinion on what I think is going on for you at the core, and b) give you my professional take on how to get out of the mess.
