About Me
A little about my little life
My heritage is American-Swedish, but I was born and raised in London Town. In 2007 my life radically changed direction for the better and I am so grateful that I was given a second chance at life. A life where I can be of service in a clear and humble way. Where I can really be present. For me, there has been a deep recognition of the immense wisdom to be found in meeting our experiences and our wounding openly and trusting in our capacity to be with the uncomfortable, with the unknown. When we can do this our outlook on life changes, our relationships change, life transforms along with our inner landscape.
You can call it personal growth, healing, recovery, digging deep, looking inwards-but that is what started in 2007 and I am still journeying on that road. What I have learnt as I have walked is that the more we can feel into ourselves, the more we can connect and feel others. The inner journey creates an outward depth to life. For me the work is never done, life is a constant unfolding, a constant discovery, staying focused on our inner self creates focus in the world. If I stop growing, the places I can go to with my clients becomes limited.
A therapist’s job is to know themselves as much as they can and go into the places that are hard and difficult. We are the way-showers, the Wounded Healers and I take that responsibility incredibly seriously.

Things I get up to
I Dance
I dance...all around the place. I love ecstatic dance, five rythms, live DJ events. Dance for me is the expression of being in my own body and being alive. The connection of the music and my body is a spiritual experience and an amazing therapy.
I BreatheRegular conscious connected breathwork has been one of the best therapies I have found. A deeply somatic, spiritual, mental and emotional practice.
I Love I love my family. I love my friends. I love my clients. I love this world, this life. I have learnt how to trust enough to really allow love in my life.
I ChallengeI question and I am not scared of disrupting. I will never ‘just go along with things’ because its easy, we have to feel discomfort in order for change to happen and I believe we all have the power to change things.
I Eat Choosing it, eating it and cooking it-after such a complex, shameful and painful relationship with food and my body, food is a relationship I am always tending to... I tune in, I listen and connect to what I am eating. So for me it is whole local organic plant foods and home cooking. Every day. It is the most simple way that we can connect with our body and the earth around us.
I Meditate
I love to sit, nothing fancy, nothing guided - I just sit
I Do Groups
My monthly group therapy is super important for me to keep noticing my projections, owning my shit, calling things out, being witnessed in my vulnerability and speaking my truth
I Do 121 Therapy
I love the space being held for me
I Move
I do The Class, spin, weights, dance, yoga (ish), pilates, all the things. Movement for me needs to come organically in many forms so I mainly move at home, inside or outside, so I can follow where my body needs to go.
I Get Cold. Wet. Hot.
I love sea swimming, sun seeking & feeling the elements on my skin, my preference is warm sunshine, or saunas when the heat of the sun goes away. Mix it up with ice baths and cryochambers and life is gooood...
I Explore
When I travel (which is as much as possible) I love discovering new communities, new breath facilitators, new movement classes and immersing myself in community through embodied practice and the things I love to do.
