I believe the most empowering and effective ways to heal and grow don’t feel difficult or exhausting. They don’t keep us wondering whether we’re doing the right thing, waiting for a breakthrough that never quite comes.
OI shows us that, right under our noses, healing has been happening all along in those subtle moments of support, attunement, positive reflection, and a deeper wisdom. How easeful and efficient might your growth become when the support you receive is shaped with this in mind?
My own healing journey is what brought me here. A history of trauma, brain injury, and chronic conditions led me into explorations of self-care, nature connection, nervous system regulation, somatic and psychological therapies, meditation, artistic exploration, and over 60 different healing and growth modalities before finding OI. Through all of this I learned a great deal about myself, life, and healing. While I don't regret any of it, little of it compares with the deeper undercurrent of embodied wellness, coherence, and restored capacity I received from OI. What's more, OI continues to help me integrate, more deeply, the resources my earlier explorations had uncovered, but left waiting to be seen.
So while my healing path may have brought me here, OI is what transformed what I thought was a lifelong process of healing into a lifelong expansion of enjoyment. I now understand that ease, support, pleasure, and joy are not only our birthright; they are also more empowering and organising than anything else possibly could be.
I suspect that you being here now reflects something of your own inner knowing, however quiet, of your innate wholeness, brilliance, and intact human wisdom. It would be my honour and joy to support your path, wherever it is going—to be like a moon, humbly reflecting the light of the self-organising sun that is you.

One of the strongest predictors of a good outcome is feeling some kind of resonance, comfort, and trust with your coach or practitioner—even if you can’t say why. To support your exploration of which OI coach is the best fit, I’d be glad to meet for a free 30-minute Initial Connection Call, with no strings attached. Simply send me an email, or book a call through my website.
About Me
Sensitive and grounded, I have an intimate connection with Earth—nurturing relationships with my more-than-human kin, and communicating with land, ecosystems, trees, animals, and bodies of water. Hearing and sensing these beings’ unfathomable compassion and wisdom has become my greatest support and collaboration—both historically and continually informing the core of my work and service.
This insight into the wisdom of nature is further supported by a pragmatic background in biological science, focused on animal welfare (the scientific study of what makes a good life for animals), behaviour, ecology, conservation, and sustainable food systems. This earlier education and awareness have inspired years of lived practice in animal advocacy, ecological care, and neighbourhood-scale community organising to collaborate in ways that make healthier relations with the living world more enjoyable and sustainable for our nervous systems.
I also love to spend my time exploring forests and beaches with my rescued dog Biscuit, gardening, wild harvesting, contact improv dancing, in deep conversation with a friend or my partner, contemplating Gene Keys, trail running, pottery, writing poetry, and learning to play the handpan.
