My early education is in fine art, traditional crafts and I continued my academic research in Social Sculpture for my postgrad. For the last decade however, I been studying, practicing and teaching yoga, authentic relating and been re-investigating my roots in Anthroposophy, the philosophy of freedom and interpersonal awareness practices.

My passions have led me into interweaving connective-aesthetics (how we objectify and create a sense of place in our lives where our ethics connects us to enlivening the environments we live in) and active responsibility in owning our full authentic self. This has led to many personal and professional experiences that have accumulated in facilitating workshops on authentic relating, sensual and sexual sovereignty work, grief work and creative courses in journaling for optimal selfstudy.

Aside from the inner development and human connection sphere I advice and work in campaign direction and consultation for NGO’s and companies in environmental and animal rights.

Having spent much of my youth and teenage years building dens and benders in hard to reach locations, living on boats, building tipi's (from harvesting wood to sewing canvas) and plunging into ice-melt waters, my sense of adventure and spirituality has inevitably grown out of the relationship to the land and it's wild offerings. By entering the wilderness of a rugged landscape, I believe we can look at, and begin to welcome the wilderness in ourselves. The real beauty is how we reconnect, reclaim and rediscover our own inner terrain and how it is reflected and held within the ecology around us. We are not outside of nature, we are a simple yet necessary part of it. How we engage with it can provide deep healing and grounding.

My main motivation in my work and offerings: to ignite people's imagination, inspiration and intuition in their everyday activities and responsibilities to become more open, more limitless and more intimate.

  • Creatve Expression

    ‘Everybody is an artist’ - J. Beuys

    What would the SOCIAL ORGANISM evolve into if it was considered a WORK OF ART? How can we inspire and ignite agency where each living person realized their potential as a creator, a sculptor of the social organism?

    It was during my FDA in FINE ART at Byam Shaw School of Art (then part of Central St. Martins) that I became disillusioned with the contemporary art scene and began investigating how creative practices could contribute to a more equalized society, abundant and thriving.

    Managing to sneak my way onto the MA Social Sculpture a year early I completed my practice and research with distinction in Social Sculpture and Interdisciplinary Arts.

    I still heavily rely on the foundational work and grounding this academic training as provided using reflective and creative journaling techniques in my daily practice.

  • Embodied Awareness

    Since experiencing burnout in 2017 I have been devoted to fully learning how to slow down through yoga and embodiment practices. Many of my insights into non-identification of the mind, thoughts and emotions have come from instigating early morning (even as early 4am!) routines of journaling, yoga and meditation. This deep dive has led me to understand the self and divine as one, enabling me to be present to the energies that mold and influence us, our environments, relationships and ourselves. By bringing our unconscious to the surface, understanding our shadows and yet still not identifying with all the nuances, allows us to be present in the wholeness.

    Part of my journey has been realizing and stepping into my full sexual and sensual self. I am proud and empowered to own my experience in tantra/BDSM practices and believe they too can shine a light on attachment and detachment that are aligned with many yogic values and principals.

    Listed below are the key principals I hold as central to my work

  • Authentic Connection

    It all began with Rudolf Steiner. Having been educated through a mixed schooling system - including Waldorf, it wasn’t until taking my Waldorf Teacher Training that I understood what real holistic education meant. How do we educate the whole being, in accordance with our environments and in authentic relation with others?

    As a facilitator in Authentic Relating and Erotic Intimacy, I strongly believe that bringing to light and sharing our vulnerabilities, hidden sides of ourselves and what we are working with internally or ancestrally is our main medicine of our times. Getting relational (not just informational or personal) sheds light on how we can learn to love, what is arising in the now between ourselves and others.
