Professional Background

My professional background spans over twenty-five years of empowerment-based practice across counselling, training, development, clinical supervision, advocacy, somatic education, and organisational consultancy. I’ve worked with individuals, groups, and organisations in a range of settings, through collaborations both locally and internationally.

What I bring to our sessions is shaped by how Organic Intelligence® lives in me, not just as a method but as a way of being. You may notice this in how I meet each moment with you, in how we engage, and in the quality of connection that takes shape through our work.

I show up with a deep respect for wholeness, for the complexity, vitality, and quiet strength in each of us, and for all that has brought you here and is unfolding now.

My intention is that you feel genuinely met, seen, heard, and welcomed as you are, with compassion and warmth at the heart of our work together.

I hold a deep appreciation for the many layers of identity, culture, and heritage that shape who we are, and this awareness is quietly woven into how I welcome and connect with you.

Personal Journey and Practice

OI’s focus on sustainability resonates deeply with me, especially after decades of working in fulfilling yet high-intensity environments. A longing for something different led me to seek new balance, and I began working in an art gallery, a creative counterpoint to the intensity of my earlier work. Alongside this, I was caring for my elderly mother, and together these experiences brought both challenge and much-needed restoration. Being surrounded by art and creative energy helped me reconnect with steadiness and joy.

During this time, I encountered the Feldenkrais Method, which sparked a curiosity about somatic education and how this ongoing learning process enhances ease, connection, and presence in movement and in life. This exploration led me to qualify as a practitioner and later to train in Organic Intelligence®.

Today, these threads - OI, Feldenkrais, and a long-standing spiritual practice - interweave in my work, offering a grounded and compassionate way of working with others. Each informs how I listen, move, and meet what unfolds, creating space for clarity, capacity, and ease.

BIPOC Team and Contributions

I’m a proud member of the OI BIPOC Facilitators team, and being part of this evolving work has been deeply meaningful, providing tailored support that really makes a difference. It’s a joy to see the BIPOC community and the wider OI community benefit from the care and attuned cultural responsiveness these spaces foster.

Contributing to Organic Intelligence’s End of Trauma Course through an additional version of the “State Shift” Strategic Use of Perception meditations has been an honour. This offering broadens access to an essential element of the course.

Organic Intelligence®: Focus and Flow

It’s a joy to have Organic Intelligence® at the centre of my professional and vocational life, a guiding framework that continually invites learning, growth, and renewal. A core part of my work involves facilitating within the OI BIPOC Facilitators team and contributing to a range of OI offerings and learning spaces. Alongside this, I continue to deepen my learning through further study, engagement within the OI community, and my work with individual clients - all of which remain central and inspiring parts of my practice.

Beyond my professional life, I enjoy time with family and friends, time in nature, and both creative practice and the arts in their many forms. These connections and sources of inspiration nourish and sustain me, bringing a sense of ease and renewal that naturally flows into my work.
