We all have our stories, our journeys through life. Those place where life has touched us deeply, revealing its beauty and joy, as well as the places where we've been broken and wounded. These "soul-crafted" songs are a humble attempt to understand these mysteries of the heart, to unearth the precious gifts of our journeys and restore our sovereign connection to life.
Personal and yet universal they offer an inner medicine of remembering and belonging. A gentle invitation to relearn the language that speaks through the ancient wisdom of the earth and every beat of our hearts. A language that calls us home, that calls us to stand with life in all its intrepid mystery.
It is my hope these songs offer you the courage to shine and connect deeply with the gift of this life, and above all, to know we never walk alone. May our journeys be blessed.

JOURNEYS INTO THE UNKNOWN
2023
My life has been full of many mysterious and unexpected journeys ...some deeply challenging, yet ultimately they have unearthed a deeper understanding and revealed pearls of inspiration that show me life's precious gifts.
My songs are about these journeys, about these gifts, both personal and universal, and are an open invitation to move deeper into the heart of this great mystery we call life.

I’m a teacher, songleader, healing practitioner, writer and traveller. The work described on this website is the culmination of over 20 years’ exploring higher human potential and purpose in and for myself and others.
In my several careers, education and transformation have underpinned all that I’ve done and become. My core purpose is to embody all that I’m learning as part of my path to spiritual awakening, and to support other people in more fully manifesting their own highest potential.
I’m a student of a long line of teachers and healers. I was introduced to systemic (family) constellation work through a health crisis and began to uncover deeper layers of purpose to my life. While training at the UK-based Nowhere Foundation – in their Community of Learning, Practice & Innovation in Systemic Constellations – I longed to more fully explore the consciousness made available through these approaches for its deeper whole-field and global potential. My research in constellational process work and systemic coaching then lead me to the field of Thomas Huebl’s work in Germany on mysticism and awakening, where I embarked on the first three-year Timeless Wisdom Training at the then new Academy of Inner Science.
