About Me
Like many people in my twenties, leaving university in 2008, I found myself in work that felt disconnected and unsustainable. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted but I knew what I didn’t. So I followed my curiosity: what moved me, what challenged me, what felt real. I was drawn to the edges human behaviour, altered states, sound system culture, and the unspoken parts of life that sit outside the mainstream.
That path led me into frontline work within homelessness and substance use services. I began volunteering in one of the UK’s first hostels to allow on-site injecting, and went on to manage hostels, needle exchange programmes, and develop street-based outreach services. I was part of the pilot for Wedi Nos Wales, a harm reduction initiative researching trends in substance use, and supported the rollout of Naloxone distribution to frontline workers and communities.
Over more than a decade, I worked closely with people navigating trauma, addiction, and systemic disadvantage. It gave me a deep understanding of how unprocessed trauma can manifest physically, emotionally, and behaviourally and how often the systems meant to support people fall short.
Eventually, I recognised a shift in myself. The system was taking its toll, and I moved into working with young people in care, many of whom were living with developmental trauma. This work brought both challenge and clarity. It reinforced what I had come to believe: that healing cannot happen solely through talking or containment it requires safe spaces where energy can be expressed, processed, and moved.
This realisation led me into the world of sound. I trained as a Sacred Sound Healing Practitioner, reconnecting with modalities that have been used for millennia but are often overlooked in modern practice. My initial training at Lammas Eco Village was immersive and, at times, confronting an experience that deepened my respect for the power of vibration and resonance as tools for transformation. What began as personal exploration became a practice I now offer to others for regulation, release, and reconnection.
Alongside this, I trained in Ayurvedic Yoga Massage (AYM), a dynamic bodywork practice that combines deep tissue massage, assisted yoga stretches, and breathwork. Like sound, it works beyond the thinking mind supporting the nervous system to unwind, release stored tension, and restore flow within the body.
Alongside my clinical and therapeutic work, I also walk the path of a medicine woman holding space for ceremony, connection, and nature-based healing. This aspect of my work is rooted in deep listening: to the body, to the land, and to the rhythms that exist beneath the surface of everyday life.
I facilitate small group and 1:1 ceremonial spaces that may incorporate sound, elemental work, intention setting, and seasonal awareness. These are spaces to pause, to mark transitions, to grieve, to release, and to reconnect. Working with the elements and the natural environment, I support people to come back into relationship with themselves and the world around them in a grounded and embodied way.
This work is not about performance or belief it is about creating safe, held environments where people can access their own inner knowing. Whether through sound journeys, bodywork, or ceremony, the intention remains the same: to support movement of energy, emotion, and awareness.
My work now sits at the intersection of these experiences; trauma-informed practice, somatic awareness, and sound as medicine. I currently work as a Registered Manager with Ruskin Mill Trust, based in the Preseli Mountains, supporting young people within a 100-acre biodynamic farm setting. I am also undertaking a Master’s degree in Music Therapy, further integrating clinical understanding with the experiential and intuitive aspects of my work.
I live off-grid in West Wales, close to the land and the rhythms of nature, which deeply informs how I hold space whether in 1:1 sessions, group work, or retreat settings. My approach is grounded, intuitive, and trauma-aware. I draw on both professional experience and personal practice to create spaces where people can safely explore, release, and reconnect with themselves, with others, and with something deeper. At its core, my work is about remembering, returning to the body, to rhythm, to nature, and to the parts of ourselves that have been silenced or forgotten.
