About Me
For more than two decades, I have worked in the arts, particularly within the dance sector in the UK. My work has always been rooted in creativity, connection, wellbeing and the belief that the arts can have a powerful impact on our lives.
My background is primarily in contemporary and creative dance, alongside visual art and wellbeing programmes. Over the years, I have worked with many different communities — including in prisons and with young offenders, in schools and education, with young people, adults and older people, and within mental health settings.
I have worked as a dance artist, teacher, director, choreographer, project manager, programme creator, coordinator and visual artist. I have run my own companies, worked with other organisations, raised funds and created projects that have been meaningful, transformative and rewarding.
More recently, my journey has expanded into reflexology, aromatherapy and crystal healing. Bringing together creativity and holistic therapy feels like a natural progression for me. Both are ways of helping us connect with ourselves, explore what we are feeling and create positive change.
The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul.

Creativity, Healing & Connection
Creativity, healing and community are at the heart of who I am and what I do.
I love generating ideas and creating, but I also find great fulfilment in connecting with people, supporting personal development and exploring the relationship between creativity and wellbeing.
Dance, visual art, meditation and holistic therapies have all played an important part in my own journey. They have taught me that there are many different ways to heal, grow and find greater balance in our lives.
Learning to Be Kind to Myself
Kindness is free. A simple smile to someone passing by can make a difference to a person having a difficult day. But I have also learned that kindness towards ourselves is just as important.
I had to learn to stop berating myself, putting myself down and believing I wasn't good enough. Learning to be kind to myself has been one of the most important things I have ever done — and it is something I continue to practise.
From that simple act of self-kindness, so many positive things can grow: greater confidence, self-esteem, compassion and trust in ourselves.
My Approach to Healing
Healing takes time. In my experience, it requires patience, commitment and sometimes the courage to look honestly at ourselves and the things we would like to change.
For me, healing isn't about becoming someone else. It is about discovering more of who you are, learning to trust yourself and finding the things that make your heart sing.
I believe that when we begin to make positive changes within ourselves, our experience of the world around us can change too.
Welcome
I created this website to bring together the things I am passionate about — creativity, healing, wellbeing, personal development and crystals — and to share some of the experiences and therapeutic practices that have helped me become more empowered, self-confident and trusting in life.
I hope you enjoy exploring the website and that you find something here that inspires you, supports you, or simply brings a little more kindness into your day.
People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.

True life is lived when tiny changes occur.

In any given moment we have two options; to step forward in growth or step back into safety.
