I am creative and practical, intuitive & logical, strategic and visionary, grounded and compassionate with a deep love of humans, animals, and the land.

I believe it is our disconnection from our true nature and essence, the community, and the Earth that has allowed us to be so destructive to the environment & also lead to the sense of loneliness & meaninglessness, and poor well-being rampant in contemporary living.

I am here to support people to remember who they are, to live with a sense of belonging, and to love and feel nourished by where and how they live.

Earlier, I had thought my studies, trainings, qualifications, professional experience were a little eclectic but as my purpose has matured, it became clear how inter-woven and inter-related my skills are and that all are in some way are about guiding others into remembrance, connection, belonging, and coherence with their true nature. All relate to healing our hearts and lineages, our homes and the land.

Thus, there is much synergy and overlap in the various modalities I am trained in. The benefit for you is that regardless of which offering you engage me for, I draw on multiple modalities and weave them together to create a unique service customised to your needs.

My architectural designs specialise in living in flow, maximising autonomy and personal choice, and optimising ease of daily life activities while also working sympathetically with the land, and your needs, dreams, and wishes. I believe that it is essential that our lived environments are functional, beautiful, practical, and flowing.

My PhD in the lived experience of connection and belonging adds another level of detail to my deep understanding of our fundamental human need to feel connected with our authentic self, our home, our community & the Earth.

I am qualified in several healing modalities, including Land and Home healing taught by Maggie Landman, theta healing, Hulda Clarke protocols, medicine drum journeying and shamanic healing, Human Design readings, and ceremonial space holding.

I map, feel and heal distorted and disruptive energies such as negative leylines, unhelpful energies from previous inhabitants, and underground water on the land and in homes that may be creating challenges for the people and animals living and working in the spaces and then balance them to create a higher energy frequency for your home and land.

Training and lived experience in regenerative, holistic farming, and Permaculture Design add further layers to my design qualifications.

My grounding in holistic animal and land stewarding is practical and real, living at Sunny Banks, a multi-species farm where the animals are integral to land regeneration. I am available for on-the-ground consultations on your land.

For those interested in Human Design, I am a Self-projected Projector, that is, a guide and my readings are a deep dive into further understanding who you are. My readings can also be used as a part of land healing and home design.

My commitment to serving includes ongoing learning and personal growth work, including daily personal land and healing practices, further study, and regular assistance from other practitioners. I am currently studying nervous system regulation and fascia release practices.
