A bit about me.

I didn't grow up thinking inner peace or even happiness was something you could learn. For a long time, it felt more like something you performed, a state you reached for on the outside while everything underneath stayed on high alert. I smoked, struggled with food, I was anxious, and I coped the only way my nervous system knew how, reaching for anything that offered relief in the moment, without ever addressing what was keeping the alarm switched on. I got very good at performing. It's part of what probably made me good at being a flight attendant for a few years, the person other people looked to when things got difficult, steady on the surface no matter what.

What I didn't understand then was that I was dysregulated, I just didn't have a name for it.

When I began working in occupational therapy with people adapting to physical, sensory, and cognitive challenges, I began to see, day after day, how completely body and mind were wound together, and to recognise, in my patients' journeys, something I hadn't yet found in my own.

I moved to the UK over a decade ago, and trained in Solution-Focused hypnotherapy soon after. It showed me the real power of visualisation, and gave me the chance to consolidate everything I'd learned: the pull of purpose, the strength of a regulated nervous system, and the difference between performing and actually being the best version of ourselves.

I've spent years since then building the toolkit I use with clients now, all pointed at the same goal, helping someone find the shift.
