My personal life has included journeying, blundering, surviving, and thriving in many lands both inside and out. While adjusting to changing landscapes and new cultures has been a significant part of my adult story, I was fortunate in my childhood to grow deep roots within the forests of the BC Coast, on the unceded lands of the Kwikwetlem people, just outside of Vancouver, BC, Canada.

 

As an adult, I have lived in Canada, Ireland, Finland, Sweden, the UK, New Zealand, and the UAE. I have traveled to unusual places (Oman, Kenya, Sri Lanka, etc.) creating new constellations with the land and people everywhere I go.

Hakomi weaves together meditation and embodied awareness to access the emotional dimension of experience.

​

I discovered Hakomi in my pursuit to find an experiential training to compliment an online master's degree in counselling. My exploration brought me to Hakomi Mallorca (in Spain) to learn Hakomi over four and a half years through their in-person professional training programme. In addition, I was fortunate to find a local Hakomi teacher in Abu Dhabi for therapy.

In a healthy forest, everything has it's place, it's niche, it's reason. There is new life, joy, abundance, pain, loss, death, decomposition, fermentation, and transformaion. In a forest, your pain has a place... and I will share this gem with you: there are vast forests within us, as well.

 

This work takes people to a different dimension than with Yoga Asanas, body work, energy healing, exercise, and counselling, etc.. It enables access to emotional states in a relational field, the parts that have been exiled, and it gently connects them to the rest of experience in a way that enables a true felt-sense transformation into integrated wholeness.​

I enjoy a full life as a mother of two boys, jogging, art projects, traveling, and long walks in nature.
