About
For the last thirteen years I have been fully committed to walking the path back home to myself, and have explored and collected many practices and learnings which have helped me to connect with my body, my environment, and my awareness of nature as my true home.
I bring together my learnings in Nature Resonance Medicine, my research into human-nature connection for an MA, many years of teaching and practicing yoga and meditation, studies in herbal medicine, wild, holistic, and vitalist nutrition, body work, iridology, and energy work to create courses, workshops, events, and mentorship which is both empowering and grounding and will introduce you to the wisdom of nature and the unwavering support and guidance she offers to all who humbly seek her communion.
When I heard the call to return to nature, to the old ways, and to the knowledge we have lost and so desperately need to regain I became aware of how our sense of being and belonging in the world is vital to how we function as living creatures. This awakened awareness led me on a journey of learning and exploration.
I found respite from the constant stress and anxiety of never feeling good enough, finding solace in the fullness and embodiment of a conscious breath, or the fleeting beauty of crystal raindrops hanging from winter branches, or of seeing a fox running wild and free in the early morning mist. The unrelenting struggle to bring myself into the quiet solitude of the present moment laid the fertile foundations for the creative, deeply submerged-in-nature existence which has become the focus of so much of my energy.

My MA in Digital Humanities was focused around human-nature connection, and can be viewed here; interconnectedenvironments.com
In 2008 I graduated from university with a degree in Philosophy and English Literature. A deep level realisation that the world was not what it had seemed to be sparked a journey of self discovery, into natural medicine, spiritual practice and exploration, and more natural, resonant ways of being in the world.
I studied nutrition from many different traditions, apprenticed in herbal medicine and natural healing, studied massage, energy, iridology, and wild food. After many years of practice I embarked on an intensive Yoga Teacher training, and returned to university to do an MA in human-nature connection. I studied Nature Resonance Medicine and qualified as a nature healing ally, and am currently working on the Way of Life, a journey deeper into the world of spirit.
